KUALA LUMPUR: Amanah Saham Bumiputera (ASB) unitholders will receive a dividend of 7.70 sen per unit for the financial year ending Dec 31, 2013 compared with 7.75 sen last year.
The 8.26 million unit holders, who collectively hold 127.2 billion ASB units, will also receive a bonus of 1.00 sen per unit.
Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB) Chairman Tun Ahmad Sarji Abdul Hamid said although the income distribution for this year was slightly lower compared with 2012, the dividend was still competitive amid the global economic uncertainty.
"This rate is also not the lowest that PNB has declared. In 2009, the income distribution declared was 8.65 sen per unit.
"Infact, we can declare a dividend of 10.54 sen per unit for the current financial year, but we brought forward 2.71 sen per unit to help the fund's portfolio to become more competitive in future," he told reporters after announcing the income distribution here today.
