i-VCAP declares 2015 income distribution for MyETF Series

Kuala Lumpur: i-VCAP Management Sdn Bhd has declared the income distribution for three of its exchange traded funds (ETFs) under its MyETF Series. They are the MyETF Dow Jones Islamic Market Malaysia Titans 25 (MyETF-DJIM25), the MyETF MSCI Malaysia Islamic Dividend (MyETF-MMID) and the MyETF MSCI SEA Islamic Dividend (MyETF-MSEAD).

MyETF-MMID unit holders will enjoy the highest income distribution among the three funds at 3.15 sen per unit.

This is on top of the 8.59 per cent unit price gain that the ETF has registered for its unitholders in 2015, i-VCAP said in a statement Thursday.

The fund declared its maiden income distribution of 2.25 sen per unit last year since its listing in March 2014.
