How is this data produced?
Under the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) Act 1991, the EPF is required to declare a minimum dividend of 2.5% for conventional investments; there is no specified minimum for Shariah-compliant investments. This dataset tabulates the actual dividend rates declared by the EPF for both conventional and Shariah-compliant investments.
What caveats I should bear in mind when using this data?
The EPF's Simpanan Shariah was launched in January 2017 in response to high demand from EPF members during the Members' Consultation exercise. Consequently, the series for Shariah-compliant investments begins in 2017.
