It is medium to long term investment don't worry about it :-)

Distribution declared is up to the fund manager discretion. Funds with incidential distribution payout mode are not commited to pay distribution on annual basis. I believe PITTIKIAL is one of these funds. It depends on the fund performance. If the fund is doing extremely well, it could declare dividend more than once and I believed or remembered that was happened to PITTIKIAL last year.

Only dividend or income funds (funds with annual distribution payout mode) will be paying or declaring dividend annually since they're "commited" to do so.

You can check these info in the master prospectus.

One of my fund is in the list as well. Not sure if they are going to declare distribution.

Well, one thing i'm very sure is PITTIKAL will surely declare distribution this time around, the question is how much.

PITTIKAL has been one of the star performer funds for PM, besides the fund has been performing or should i say recover quite well from the initial aftermath of the subprime crisis.

The the total of 8 funds in the list, PGSF will be the most likely to be not declaring any distribution.
PRSEC might most probably will declare is much lower distribution than before.

The others I would say will have good chances to have distribution. But will most probably b lower than previous year.

Anyway, lets wait till end of the month for PM to declare the distributions...no point speculating..hehe

Dropping again.

Based on what grounds? Peaking oil price?
