“PETALING JAYA: The Employees Provident Fund (EPF) has recorded a 17.1% increase in investment income to an unaudited RM4.8bil for the second quarter ended June 30 from RM4.09bil a year earlier.

Compared with the preceding quarter, the investment income achieved represented a 46.64% improvement over the RM3.27bil charted in the first quarter of this year, EPF said in a statement yesterday.

The higher investment income was due to improved performance from investments in equities for the second quarter.” --- star

Good to have the news, but will our get a better dividend return in coming payout? Or still getting lower rate than ~4.5%
