Manage dividends for investment-linked plan

The dividends management feature allows you to choose how you wish to receive the payouts that may be due to you. Once you have selected the dividend option after it is declared by the fund, it cannot be changed. Instead, any change in dividend option made after the declaration will be applied to the next payout. 

For example, on 1 January, dividends are declared for the fund, and you have previously opted to reinvest your dividend. On 5 January, you changed the dividend option to Payout. On 10 January, your dividend is reinvested, based on your dividend option as of 1 January to reinvest your dividend. On 1 February, dividends are declared for the fund, and your dividend is paid out to you. This is based on the dividend option change on 5 January. Hence, any change in dividend option after the dividend is declared will take effect for the following dividend distribution.

It can take up to 3 working days for us to process your request. The updated request will be reflected in the Great Eastern App.

You can do so by changing your payout method. We encourage you to use PayNow, which must be linked to your NRIC and not your mobile number, to get your payout credited quickly.
