It depends on the fund portfolio. Some fund will pay out dividend (distribution) in annual basis especially income or dividend funds. Others will pay pay out dividend (distribution) in incidental basis.

Read the master prospectus for more details.

Like wat hv been mentioned, PCSF distribution payout is incidental & by any case, the distribution will b pay out during its financial year end which is 31st July.

That is if and only if the fund makes substantial profit to b given out as dividend.

But, the most important is the capital growth that v should b looking at for this fund. If capital growth (i.e. profit) is good, most of the time, distribution will b given out as well.

There is a certain cut-off point for new investors that come in b4 distribution to b eligible for distribution. Usually a few days before the distribution.

But, whether you invest right before distribution or after distribution...it is the same.

After some clarification, if the distribution date is on 30th April...all investors that remain registered in the fund until 30th April will be eligible for the distribution.

The point is, if the ex-date for a distribution is 30th April, you can get the distribution even if you bought your units on the 29th of April.
Clarification means that he asked for some answers, and now he is clear about the answer.
The word has nothing to do with unit trust

I think that clause is used in benchmarking or fund performance comparison. Cut it short, usually while benchmarking a bond fund, they could simply use a 12-month FD as the comparison tool. For example, PSBF vs 12-month FD.

I didnt watch it too closely ler.. I bought it nearly 2 years already but the price still so low....
