BBSFF DECLARES FINAL DIVIDEND OF 6.00 SINGAPORE CENTS PER SHARE
The Board of Directors of Babcock & Brown Structured Finance Fund Limited (“BBSFF” or “the Company”) has declared a final dividend of 6.00 Singapore cents per share for the half year ended 31 December 2007, consistent with the upgraded dividend guidance announced by the Company on 14 November 2007. This brings the total 2007 dividend to 10.7 Singapore cents per share (excluding the 0.53 Singapore cents per share declared for the period ending 30 June 2007 and referrable to the 2006 year).
The register of shareholders of BBSFF will be closed at 5.00 p.m. on 3 January 2008 for the purpose of determining shareholders’ entitlements to the Company’s final dividend.
Registrable transfers received by BBSFF's Singapore share transfer agent, Boardroom Corporate & Advisory Services Pte Ltd (formerly known as Lim Associates (Pte) Ltd) at 3 Church Street, #08-01 Samsung Hub, Singapore 049483 up to 5.00 p.m. on 3 January 2008 will be registered before entitlements to the final dividend are determined.
Shareholders whose securities accounts are with The Central Depository (Pte) Limited (“CDP”) and are credited with BBSFF shares at 5.00 p.m. on 3 January 2008 will be entitled to the final dividend that will be paid on 14 March 2008.
In respect of shares in securities accounts with CDP, the final dividend will be paid by BBSFF to CDP which will in turn distribute the final dividend entitlements to the CDP account holders in accordance with its normal practice.
As BBSFF is incorporated in Bermuda and is not a resident in Singapore for tax purposes, dividends paid by the Company will be regarded as foreign-sourced income.
Foreign-sourced dividends received by individuals in Singapore (whether resident or otherwise) are exempt from Singapore income tax unless these dividends are received via partnerships1.
Singapore does not currently impose withholding tax on dividends paid to non-Singapore tax resident Shareholders.

(引用 zhaijj:牛王会为了股息而买进股票吗？MTQ就是个例子，若有人为了25分的股息在除息前没有卖掉股票的话，他现在一定会后悔莫及的。)我觉得要在高股息股票announce dividend前买入，announce后卖出。
比如以前的SFI，2nd chance。看看SFI的图，1月20日左右霸位，1月底2月初宣布消息后卖出，赚个5%不成问题。有次运气好，吾90c进，半个月后吧105出。SFI超级好股啊。但可惜后来SFI每年一次的股息变成两次，就肉不多了。2nd chance 也是差不多一样情况。
现在我知道的两只是sph和1st ship。sph 9月底霸位。1st ship pays quarterly dividend。每次能赚个个2-3%，但it requires highly accurate execution。
相信其他高股息股票也有类似情况。欢迎同学们发掘补充。
这个bbsff，我有，倒不是因为上述目的买的。8月大跌后买的，就是准备长期吃它的股息。for long term，not for trading。[牛魔王 (12-4 16:20, Long long ago)]

(引用 牛魔王:现在回过头想想，早知道MTQ要发很多股息，为何当初没想到早点霸位呢。)其实可以把高股息股票的范围，也包括到那些平时发得少，但预计会发大笔
special dividend的股票。比如最近脱手资产了的公司。
这个MTQ，当初吾思维上有了个误区。把它当成技术上要冲的股票。如果是当成dividend play，就又是另一种打法了。
但根本上他是一回事，他要冲，就是因为它要发股息。换个角度看就成了。[牛魔王 (12-4 16:43, Long long ago)]

Margin Account 的股票可以拿股息吗？如果是 Margin Accout 的， 有没有股息拿？
似乎Margin Account的并没有在CDP登记。[伢伢 (12-4 18:25, Long long ago)]

股息是好东西啊！每年单靠股息，我已经可以养家糊口了。做到财务自由！[昌昊 (12-4 20:38, Long long ago)] [ 传统版 | sForum ][登录后回复]8楼
(引用 昌昊:股息是好东西啊！每年单靠股息，我已经可以养家糊口了。做到财务自由！)在下深表佩服！！大哥年纪也就是30来岁吧，能以股息养家糊口，阁下是俺所知最年轻的了。
房子的分期付款，孩子的学杂费，水电饭钱，个人的开销。。。
在新加坡，并不容易啊，
对大哥景仰之情，尤如新加坡河之东流水，绵绵不绝。。。
