On 19 August 2011, Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB) announced a 6.50 sen dividend per unit of Amanah Saham Wawasan 2020 (ASW 2020) for the year ending 31 August 2011. This year's dividend will be an increase of 0.15 sen per unit compared with the 6.35 sen dividend for 2010.

As a unitholder and participant through the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) members' investment scheme, I am happy with the return ;) ... at least it gives better return than EPF...

ASW 2020 Income Distribution at 6.30 Sen

Posted by Ms. Anne Labels: Amanah Saham Wawasan, ASW 2020, Employees Provident Fund, EPF, Investments, Kumpulan Wang Simpanan Pekerja, KWSP, make money, Make Money Tips, Maximising your Savings, My Say, Savings for old age

Yesterday Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB) announced a 6.30 Sen Dividend per unit of Amanah Saham Wawasan 2020 (ASW 2020) for the year ending 31 August 2009. This year's dividend is lower than the 7 sen declared last year. If I am not wrong it is the lowest since the fund inception date :( The reason given is due to the fund’s 41% increase in size over the past one-year period.

Nevertheless, as a unitholder and participant through the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) members' investment scheme, I am quite happy with the return ;) ... at least it gives better return than EPF...
