Dividends are payments a fund or company gives to its investors as a way to share profits. Think of it as a bonus for investing your money. These payments can give you extra income besides your investment’s value.
If you invest in a fund that makes money, it might share some of its profit with you as dividends.
Here’s what you should know about dividends:
-
Not guaranteed
The amount you get may change each month. Some months might have higher payouts, while others might have none. -
Non-cumulative
If you don’t get dividends in a certain month, the fund won’t make up for it later. Each month’s payout is separate.
Sample of how dividends are computed:
The number of fund units you have as of Record date x Unit Dividend x NAVPU as of Record date
= Dividends Received
Note: The number of units and NAVPU considered are only the ones received during the record date, not during the settlement date. The fund manager determines the record date and NAVPU.
The unit dividend is rounded to 4 units.
See a sample dividend computation below:
| Item | Value |
| Number of Units (as of Record Date) | 10,000 units |
| Unit Dividend | 0.0035 |
| NAVPU (as of Record Date) | PHP 120.50 |
| Dividends Received | PHP 4,217.50 |
