Unit holders receive dividends

Business

ANOTHER group of verified Pacific Balanced Fund (PBF) unit holders received their dividends last month, according to the fund.
Mark Sakai, executive chairman of PBF trustee, Melanesian Trustee Services, expressed his pleasure to see newly verified unit holders, from the former Investment Corporation Fund of PNG, receive their PBF entitlements.
“There are nearly 20,000-unit holders in the Pacific Balanced Fund,” he said.
“Most of the dividends for the years 2003 to 2016 have been paid and more are expected to be paid shortly for 2017 and 2018.
“But the fund is still encouraging Investment Corporation Fund investors to update their records.
“We continue to call on the people who lost contact with the Investment Corporation and have not yet turned up to seek and claim their entitlements from PBF, to make contact.”
A part of MTSL’s strategic plan was to find, verify and pay outstanding dividends to ‘missing’ investors.
The formal verification process is continuing.
“During 2019 we have been able to locate more owners of PBF funds,” he said. “The recent group received over K250,000 before Christmas (2019), thanks to the verifications.
“This now means that ownership of more than 85 per cent of the fund has been established.
“It was good receiving positive feedback from long time unit holders who finally came forward to claim their benefits and received them at year’s end.
“Melanesian Trustee Services maintains its focus on protecting and increasing the assets of the PBF investors and looks forward to reporting more progress in the months ahead.”
