Like many of us, we seek for financial security and ultimately financial freedom. This blog is intended to act as a journal of investment as I journey towards that dream. At the same time, I hope that the articles written here would also benefit many others who share the same vision as me.

 

Unit holders for Amanah Saham Malaysia (ASM) finally get to enjoy one of the highest ever dividend + bonus ever since 2009. A declaration of 6.5% in dividend plus and a "special income distribution" of 0.3% allows unit holders to enjoy a total of 6.8% in returns.

Historically, ASM's income distributions for 2010 and 2011 have never include any form of extra bonus for unit holders. How come there is a bonus issue for investors? What shocked me is the fact that the bonus issue is not reported in the Annual Report!

Besides, shouldn't any bonus issues declared in the Annual Report as well?
