Actually how it counted? If we put now, when next year divide out it will be prorated?
It is forward counting on monthly basis, you are free to put in or take out however much you want
example:
28 Nov RM1,000 will only be counted for pro-rated 1/12 * dividend let's say 6% if you maintain it until 1st January, if you withdraw it by 31st Dec then it will be zero interest earned. If you keep until ex-dividend date of 30th Sept 2019 and only withdraw on 1st October 2019 then you will get the interests counted for month of Dec until Sep which is 10/12 * 6%
basically our money needs to
FULLY sit in untouched per calendar month, not per 30 days basis. So it doesn't make a difference if you put your money in on 1st or 30th/31st of that month.

So if top up on 1st Sep to 29th Sep not entitled for dividend, then would withdrawal within the same period affect the dividend computation ?
as above mentioned, let's take a simulation using ASM3 at 6% for example:
1st Sep RM4,000 IN
15th Sep RM5,000 IN
End Sep Balance: RM9,000
1st Oct RM5,000 IN
20th Oct RM3,000 OUT
31st Oct RM8,000 IN
End Oct Balance: RM19,000
1st Nov RM2,000 OUT
End Nov Balance: RM17,000
31st Dec RM3,000 OUT
End Dec Balance: RM14,000
Assume you stop putting in/taking out until following year 1st Oct then your dividend shall be calculated as follow:
Sep- RM0 earned (not full month)
Oct- Balance>Sep so take lower RM9,000 x 1/12 x 6% = RM45
Nov- Balance<Oct so take lower RM17,000 x 1/12 x 6% = RM85
Dec- Balance<Nov so take lower RM14,000 x 1/12 x 6% = RM70
Jan- Sep Balance maintain RM14,000 x 9/12 x 6% = RM630
Total dividend earned: RM830
Anyone sifus can verify the above? Much appreciated since I just joined, no historical data to counter-check
