However, NAV pricing for &lt;i&gt;most&lt;/i&gt; funds will only be published by the Fund House after 5PM on the next working day (T+1).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Purchases of funds at FSM will be fully processed at T+4, &amp;quot;T&amp;quot; being Transaction Date.&lt;br /&gt;On T and T+1, your order will be under processing.&lt;br /&gt;On T+2, FSM will price your order, your price transacted and no. of units purchased will be known.&lt;br /&gt;On T+3, your priced order would be still &amp;quot;floating&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;On T+4, your order will be incorporated into your holdings summary, purchase order is therefore fully completed.&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. &lt;i&gt;The NAV price of the fund that I&amp;#39;m interested in is quite high now, should I stay away? Investment gurus always say &amp;quot;buy low, sell high&amp;quot;...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER BEGIN--&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilertop&quot; onClick=&quot;openClose('f5017b663217d40f71edf28980c50587')&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;raquo; Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... &amp;laquo;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilermain&quot; id=&quot;f5017b663217d40f71edf28980c50587&quot; style=&quot;display:none&quot;&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER END--&gt;First of all, understand what is NAV price. I always like to explain things by using simple examples. Here goes...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Fund ABC issues 1 million units at Initial Offer Price of RM1.00 per unit.&lt;br /&gt;- As such, at Day 1, NAV of ABC is 1 million units x RM1.00 = RM1 million. NAV price is RM1.00.&lt;br /&gt;- After the end of the Initial Offer Period, ABC starts to operate, it starts to invest.&lt;br /&gt;- Let&amp;#39;s say ABC bought RM200,000 worth of Maybank shares, RM300,000 of Dutch Lady shares and RM500,000 of BAT shares.&lt;br /&gt;- Let&amp;#39;s say after 1 month,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Market value of holdings&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybank RM180,000&lt;br /&gt;Dutch Lady RM360,000&lt;br /&gt;Guinness Anchor RM400,000&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style='color:red'&gt;BAT shares were sold off during the month&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Total value of equities held&lt;/b&gt;: RM940,000&lt;br /&gt;Cash: RM50,000 (dividends received from BAT)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Total value of net assets&lt;/b&gt; i.e. NAV: RM990,000&lt;br /&gt;NAV price per unit: RM990,000 / 1 million units = RM0.9900&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah Beng says: &amp;quot;&lt;i&gt;ABC is now cheaper, can buy&amp;#33;&lt;/i&gt;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;Answer:&lt;br /&gt;NO&amp;#33; You cannot determine the &amp;quot;cheapness&amp;quot; of a fund by looking at its NAV price alone. We can only deduce that the ABC had made an NAV loss of 1% during the 1-month period, but you cannot say that it is &amp;quot;cheap&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;The fund could have bought Maybank when it was overpriced, and now its holdings of Maybank had gone down 10%. Maybank is now cheap&amp;#33;&lt;br /&gt;Guinness Anchor could be oversold, thus ABC sold its holdings of BAT and bought into Guinness Anchor. Another undervalued stock in ABC&amp;#39;s holding&amp;#33;&lt;br /&gt;However, Dutch Lady have rallied 20% in the past 1 month, it could be overbought i.e. expensively valued now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simply said, you determine the &amp;quot;cheapness&amp;quot; of a fund by reference to its underlying holdings. The NAV price &lt;b&gt;CANNOT&lt;/b&gt; give you a single clue as to whether it is an opportune time to buy into a fund.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let&amp;#39;s say u are looking at a fund which focuses on plantation stocks. Plantation stocks on the KLCI could be oversold, went down 20% in the past 1 month yet the fund only recorded an NAV loss of 5% in the same period. You might think, &amp;quot;aiya, only -5%, the fund is still expensive, don&amp;#39;t want buy in now lah&amp;quot;. But you could be terribly wrong; it could be that the fund was sitting on a heavy cashpile during the past 1 month, hence it did not lose much. But plantation stocks are now trading at a discount, it is an opportune time for the fund to buy&amp;#33;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, all this is based on the assumption that the fund manager is not stupid. &lt;!--emo&amp;:P--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the fund manager still sits on its huge cashpile and refuses to enter the market, then later when plantation stocks rally up 30% the fund could still be sitting there with -5%/+5%. &lt;!--emo&amp;:lol:--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt; &lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.fundsupermart.com.my/main/research/viewHTML.tpl?articleNo=5153' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style='color:red'&gt;FSM Idea Of The Week: Unit Split and High Fund Price Misconceptions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; [24 October 2014]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. Common misconceptions about unit trust dividends/distributions:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(i) &lt;i&gt;After dividend distribution, NAV price will go down, the fund will become cheaper.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(ii) &lt;i&gt;A fund that declares dividends is better than a fund that does not, dividends are my profit, they make me richer.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER BEGIN--&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilertop&quot; onClick=&quot;openClose('67428f99b3fabfed1ded0e89f4421dc0')&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;raquo; Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... &amp;laquo;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilermain&quot; id=&quot;67428f99b3fabfed1ded0e89f4421dc0&quot; style=&quot;display:none&quot;&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER END--&gt;Put it simply, dividend is just &amp;quot;left hand go right hand&amp;quot;; there is ZERO IMPACT to the investor&amp;#39;s value of holdings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Fund XYZ has 100,000 units issued, initially issued at RM1.00&lt;br /&gt;- Current NAV price is RM1.02&lt;br /&gt;- XYZ declares a &amp;quot;10% dividend&amp;quot; of 10 sen a unit&lt;br /&gt;- After the dividend, the NAV will go down to RM0.92&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For sake of illustration, we assume that dividends are paid out in cash (not reinvested), and no tax on the distribution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ali says: &amp;quot;&lt;i&gt;Eh XYZ very good, gave me 10% returns...&lt;/i&gt;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;Answer:&lt;br /&gt;WRONG&amp;#33; The 10% is expressed by reference to the Initial Offer Price of RM1.00 (RM1.00 x 10% = 10 sen). It does not mean that the fund made a profit of 10% for investors. In this scenario, the fund actually only made a return of 2% (RM1.00 + 2% = RM1.02) during the period.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simply said, just imagine you pass me RM100 to invest in a trolley cart. 1 year later the trolley cart become worth RM92, and I collected rental income of RM10 on your behalf. The value of your investment is now RM102. I then decide to return 10% i.e. RM10 to you. So now u have a RM92 trolley cart and RM10 in cash on hand. The &amp;quot;dividend&amp;quot; that I decided to give you has &lt;b&gt;ZERO IMPACT&lt;/b&gt; on the net worth of your investment, which remain at RM102.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here&amp;#39;s another variation to the scenario above; your RM100 investment could actually have incurred a loss, and I &lt;i&gt;could&lt;/i&gt; still decide to &amp;quot;reward&amp;quot; you with a 10% &amp;quot;dividend&amp;quot;. Let&amp;#39;s say a wheel on your trolley was damaged, now your trolley is only worth RM60. The value of your investment is now RM60 + RM10 (rental income received in cash) = RM70. But I could still proudly say that I&amp;#39;m declaring a 10% &amp;quot;dividend&amp;quot; to reward you &lt;!--emo&amp;:hehe:--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/brows.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='brows.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Key Lesson Point&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A unit trust fund &lt;i&gt;can&lt;/i&gt; declare dividend even when it has actually made its investors@unitholders poorer. By regulation, a unti trust fund can only declare dividend out of its &lt;u&gt;REALISED INCOMES&lt;/u&gt; (interest income, dividend income, net proceed from sale of investments, rental income etc). Gains from market price fluctuations are not realised, i.e. they&amp;#39;re &amp;quot;paper gain/(loss)&amp;quot;. So, you could be having&lt;br /&gt;(a) Fund A got realised incomes from which to declare dividends, even though during the same period it has huge paper losses.&lt;br /&gt;(b) Fund B made lots of paper gains from market price movements, but it cannot/decided not to declare dividend to unitholders because of insufficient realised incomes. Bear in mind, some funds actually have a &amp;quot;no dividend&amp;quot; policy, and they are great performers. &lt;!--emo&amp;;)--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt; &lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;(iii) &lt;i&gt;Topping up my holdings after dividend distribution pulls down my cost per unit, lower cost = higher profit.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER BEGIN--&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilertop&quot; onClick=&quot;openClose('9b2e9025c5e41de6e2600f24f47323f7')&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;raquo; Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... &amp;laquo;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilermain&quot; id=&quot;9b2e9025c5e41de6e2600f24f47323f7&quot; style=&quot;display:none&quot;&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER END--&gt;Just a simple example to illustrate, but that&amp;#39;s essentially how it works...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style='color:blue'&gt;You hold 100 units at RM1.00 each. RM1.00 x 100 = RM100&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let&amp;#39;s say you get 10 units extra from distribution. After distribution you hold 110 units at RM0.9091 each. RM0.9091 x 110 = RM100&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, let&amp;#39;s assume &lt;span style='color:red'&gt;you top up RM10 after ex-date&lt;/span&gt;,&lt;br /&gt;RM10 / RM0.9091 = 11 units bought&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Value of your holdings now:&lt;br /&gt;(110 + 11) x RM0.9091 = RM110&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style='color:blue'&gt;Initial value: RM100&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style='color:red'&gt;Top up: RM10&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Total: RM110&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, topping up after distribution ex-date brings your unit cost down. &lt;i&gt;BUT AT THE SAME TIME&lt;/i&gt; the &lt;u&gt;value per unit&lt;/u&gt; i.e. NAV price also comes down - &lt;b&gt;IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE&lt;/b&gt; whether you top up before or after ex-date.

For this type of investors, basically what they can do is to invest in a fund that has a distribution policy, and elect to receive distributions in the form of CASH. To an investor who elect to receive distributions in cash, distributions are a form of income, a cash inflow; gains in NAV price are capital growth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E.g. upon retirement you have RM1mil which you invest in a fund. The fund that you invested in made a return of 10% and declares 8% as dividend for the financial year, that&amp;#39;s RM80,000 of cash inflow for you&amp;#33; Of course, when a distribution is declared and paid, the NAV price will drop proportionately. The balance of 2% that are not declared as distribution will be reinvested for future growth.&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;4.

Now let me explain by using a simple example...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- The annual salary for the Fund Manager of Huat Huat Equity Fund is fixed at 1% of the Asset Under Management (AUM)&lt;br /&gt;- As at today, value of AUM for Huat Huat is RM100M&lt;br /&gt;- Fund size of Huat Huat is 100M units&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just like most of us, the FM&amp;#39;s salary is paid monthly in arrears. But for the purpose of accounting, it has to be accrued daily. Thus, as at end of today, Huat Huat would have total assets of RM100M and a LIABILITY in the form of the FM&amp;#39;s 1-day unpaid salary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NAV for Huat Huat today is:&lt;br /&gt;RM100M - (RM100M x 1% x 1/365)&lt;br /&gt;= RM100M - RM2,739.73&lt;br /&gt;= RM99,997,260&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NAV price today:&lt;br /&gt;RM99,997,260 / 100M units&lt;br /&gt;= RM0.9999&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Investors do not need to separately pay for the Management Fee and Trustee Fee, these charges are already deducted from the value of our holdings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;5.
