The hospitals, which an EPF-led consortium bought for about £700 million in 2013, are operated by Spire Healthcare Group Plc.

KUALA LUMPUR: EPF is preparing to sell a portfolio of UK private hospitals that are valued at about £1.4 billion (US$1.9 billion).

The fund has appointed broker Knight Frank to offer the 12 properties for sale, people with knowledge of the process said.


Representatives for EPF and Knight Frank declined to comment.

So means dividend 10% next yr?

I wonder WHY they want to divest this strategic income garner, almost like MAHB case. Something that we do not know?

Hope long long la…if sale, our dividends will be even lower in the coming future as a constant source of income generator is lost. Does the gov need so much fund from EPF, that we must sell off?

Just invest in snp500.

A solid 8% every year won’t be hard

Good.

Another isinar please.

Power epf

Making good moneh from good yinvestment

You are wrong, money can reinvest and generate better dividend.

never, at least would be last year, always mind set 5%

No point putting more investments into UK moving forward...

UK is already moving to WARtime stance... and getting ready for WAR in 2027.

EPF from a risk perspective also why wanna risk more exposure on EU/UK knowing tension is getting worst month after month...

reinvest can also lose money. then dividen no more high

Hold for 12 years and double the return. Not bad. Good job!

just buy over one of the insurance company here. Better the insurance premium benefit back EPF than let the money flow back to SG.

EPF should invest into BITcoin...

since now if anyone buys SNP500, they are indirectly having exposure to keriptos liao.. via COINBASE...

Well, chances are will be re-invested in Malaysia, given PKX ‘advice’ last year. Read the article…. 38% of our investment in shares pervades generate 44% of income vs 62% domestic KLSE giving us 56%. And our forex gai. Is like 1 bn.

Dow is back to almost its level pre tariff days, I think. KLSE is still dwindling at 1500 level, with international investor fleeing the bourse last week again, if I am not mistaken.

And our growth has been expected to slow down in 2H. The last set of KLSE companies performances are not indicative of good performance.


If we can get 5% dividend for 2025, be glad.

The article
Mentioned that healthcare is one of the active segment that is expected to be profitable and have investors coming in….

Better sell hospitals in UK and reinvest janji proceed not for afterlife and brainwash funds.

well last time, if u read the timeline. It is inevitable to save the fund

Revenue has fell for 3 quarters straight.

This is good sign ke?

When war time comes...

That's because domestic investment includes government securities, loans and bonds, etc.. So fixed income stuff plus equities.

While overseas is pure equities, that is why the returns are more moderated given equities was on a bull run last year.

EPF cannot invest 100% into equities, else last quarter they would be 20% or so down post Trump election. Then you will complain why they can't manage.

38% is EPF peak overseas investment holdings. The previous high was 37% before being pared down in 2022 to fund withdrawals

But why? It is a constant income generator.

I don’t know but what I see is a healthy revenue stream at that.

Agree but I do expect that more shd be allocated overseas for better returns vs local bourse which is almost lifeless now.

So it's a coin toss between

slow and steady dividend returns, May not outperform the other foreign assets out there with the slowing revenue growth

Or selling high

And based on what your article said the NHS turning to private health care more and more as their public health care creaks under the pressure

Another coin toss. Is this a bubble since UK govt can afford to only pay so much for so long in this economy

There's a reason this TS share this and hint it isn't epf related

to cover LTAT lubang?

Can not because BMX no rike.

Ok, understand. To me, at such stage of supposedly world economic turbulence caused by trumpnomics , it is better to stay and be prudent. Maybe I have less appetite for risks, than EPF I suppose. I suppose the EPF managers are better informed than me with their experience and background. I am no financial expert.

Because sozai ukraine go and bomb kao russia planes with drones, and the market now will factor in european nuclear war into it.. will turn into a massive wasteland..

to cover cost of someone planned kota development.

Possible also.

UK got NHS.

Private Hospital will last?

its better repatriate the funds and fix Malaysia health care

we must trust the fund manager in the higher ups in EPF office. our 1 trillions MYR funds is in their hands. careful yo and good luck


owai

That's like saying Malaysia got KKM RM1, why go private hospital. But private hospital here flourishing.

Their NHS is a shithole. At the same time, private also not exactly affordable.

similar story, just different locality.

I concur. Been reading about the WAR preparations and the bad economy alarms in EU/UK. Perhaps its a wise move for EPF to not invest there..
