(Any new fund for Nov for PM)
same as title... is it good...?i want to know first so i can keep money to buy.

If you opt for the cash distribution then you get back the cash.
But if you opt for reinvest, then no effect at all.
Basically, your UT holding value is still the same for reinvesting, so no effect.
For cash distribution means you exit or lock in profit part of your investment.

At least for Malaysia case, no much different, while in US, realised capital gain is taxable, so there is some differences in it.

The most important in UT is to see the NAV keep on increasing over long term period. Distribution is giving out from its incremental of NAV aka profit from the fund.
So the main profit is come from the incremental of NAV <- when the fund portfolio makes profit, NAV increase daily or over the time.

Whether the fund got distribution or not, generally don't need to care much, the most important is too see its NAV incremental. As you said, the dividend/distribution is come from its NAV.

But due to people will comparing their invested UT with FD, generally fund managers will give out distribution so that UT holders knows there is profit made from their investment but in actual sense, the fund already making money.

My explaination quite rough, hope can undertand what I am saying.

Cheers.

er now the distribution of UT still taxable or not?

Market Technical Reading (26/10/07): Possible Cautious Trade Ahead Of The Weekend... @ Bursa Street

Local Market Leads:
�� Despite a nearly 5% plunge in the Shanghai Composite, local market pushed
ahead by edging higher on local funds' buying-supports on Thursday.
�� Continuous strength in the ringgit that hit a 10-year high at 3.3560 versus the
US dollar, as well as a 2.15% spike in the Futures KL Index's Nov contract are
the major drivers in yesterday's rally.
�� Also, local investors' confidence was reinforced by a steady regional
performance, which reacted calmly to the steep fall in China markets, as much
attention was focused on hopes for further US interest rate cut soon.
�� In China, the benchmark Shanghai Composite plummeted 280.72pts or 4.80%
to 5,562.39 ahead of release of the third quarter GDP growth, as investors
feared a stronger-than-forecasted number will lead to more tightening measures.

so basically conclusion will be to those who knows whats going on (the NAV is growing), got distribution or not doesnt make a difference right? no extra benefit from the distribution, correct? cause initially ive been thinking this way, until those bank lebih bank staff come tell me PB series got higher distribution la(compared to public), and bla bla bla to push their sales.

Ya, unfortunately BONDS not doing much

Bonds always never do much. I put RM2k into PISBF in early August. After 2 months or so, i earned RM5-7.

What does FOMC stand for?
