PIX - Public Index Fund performance study

Public Index Fund will be issuing dividend end of this month. Let take a look at the performance of this fund so far since 1-Feb-2011.

PIX Public Index fund

















As you notice from the chart above, there should be almost no capital growth in the financial year ending in 31-Jan-2012. As of 27-Jan-2012 it has recorded a growth of only 00.48%. This is inline with all other unit trust fund performance for same period and stock market.

But historically, this fund been giving out good dividend even during very bad time.  Here are the dividend rates since year 2007:-

2007 =   7.9% (growth +33.29%)
2008 = 23.9% (growth +19.82%)
2009 = 10.5% (growth -36.07%)
2010 =   7.8% (growth +45.02%)
2011 =   8.2% (growth +23.15%)

So what could be the rate for FYE 2012?.... :-)

We will find out two days. Standby.
