Amanah Saham Malaysia 2 – Wawasan (ASM 2 Wawasan) has just paid its latest dividend on 1 September 2023. The amount is RM 0.045/unit, equal to a dividend yield of 4.5%. It is a big increase from 3.75% last year.

This fund finally reversed its downtrend and managed to distribute dividend more than 4 cents.
Outlook
The benchmark of this fund is the same as ASM, the Maybank 12-Month Fixed Deposit, which currently has a return of 2.89% per annum (previous year: 1.98%). However, I think we should use the KLCI as the benchmark as this fund invests in the local equity market. Using the return of KLCI in 2022 (-4.60%), its performance is much better.
I did not move my money in this fund to Simpan SSPN Prime in last year. Thus, I am able to enjoy this increase of dividend. Going forward, as long as the overnight policy rate does not decrease, I anticipate the dividend from ASM 2 Wawasan should be more than 4 cents.
