This payout marks an 8 per cent distribution yield for the five (5) funds: Hong Leong Growth Fund, Hong Leong Penny Stock Fund, Hong Leong Consumer Products Sector Fund, Hong Leong Dana Makmur and Hong Leong Balanced Fund (based on Net Asset Value per unit as at 31 December 2016). 

The distributions amounting to RM58 million made within the month is attributed to the fund manager’s disciplined and systematic investment process backed by rigorous due diligence. 

On the domestic market outlook for 2017, HLAM is positive on Malaysia. The company believes that values have emerged and Malaysia will deliver higher growth given the strong spending in domestic infrastructure, i.e. mass rail transits, expressways and railways.
