1) Can somebody explain what's DPU & NAV? I can't find DPU but i found that NAV stands for Net Asset Value....
2) Does NAV have to be higher than the current price?
3) Basically the higher the better for NAV & DPU

malaysia reit have no enough data which i mean 10 yrs atleast. it just lowsy in term of financial data record,
despite good return at moment , i believe will cool down next year.
reit wont give bonus issue in short unlike they are so well manage and acquire new building,
imagine most building in malaysia overbuild and old one will leave abandone, like subang summit, kl plaza, those are near abandone. not logic to own them.

Our export is down by 40%.

Those in the warehousing could be hit.

And warehousing business was badly hit in Year 97/98.

does it mean i will get 0.31 cent or less??

Yes.

Previous under imputation system. BAT declared as Rm1.00 dividend less tax. But people can claim back.
But now with new single tier system, it become Rm0.76 single tier not claim back.

Both company is actually paying the same amount of dividend.

For rich earner, it makes no difference, still an attraction for them! because personal highest income tax bracket > corporate rate tax.

Steady dividend stocks are even more attractive nowadays because of interest rate cut around the world. Deposit rate is sliding across the globe, even for US only 1%, so those with 7-8% steady dividend yield and dividend/profit won't be affected too much in the financial crisis become more attractive than previously.

Dividend yield attraction is always a comparative with deposit rate. If FD rate is 7%, then it makes no sense to invest into stock that carry 7% dividend, as why opt for risky investment while getting the same yield?

They generally will state at the back when declared the dividend, just like BAT declared "76 cents dividend single tier".

If imputation dividend amount to RM1,000 distributed to a rich (highest tax bracket at 28%) and a middle (highest tax bracket at 10%) shareholders.
When they submitted their tax return at the year end.
Rich shareholder no need to pay tax for the dividend, and cannot get refund (or reduction) of tax paid at source because his tax bracket is 28% which appear to be higher than 26%.
Middle shareholder can claim back 16% of RM1,000 (RM160) as tax deducted at source because the tax need to be paid for him is 10% but 26% had been taxed by government. He can use the RM160 to offset his tax or get cash back if his difference between tax deducted at source and his highest tax bracket is more than what he supposed to pay.

Under One-tier tax system, they both cannot claim back. This is no harm to rich shareholder but there might be some for the middle.
Under one-tier system, company pay the final tax and dividend is 'not tax deductible' in the hand of shareholders (I think that's just to beautify the system).

Hope I make the thing clear.

3k is that 3,000,000units or 300,000units?
just want to know what forumers meant by 1k lots, are u guys using the 100units or the old 1000units figures...
