Do investors receive stock dividends (saham bonus) through Pluang?
Yes, investors holding stocks on Pluang are entitled to receive any stock dividend (saham bonus) issued by a listed company, credited automatically to their portfolio with no action required. Once KSEI (Indonesia Central Securities Depository) processes the distribution, bonus shares are credited within 1–2 business days of the payment date.
What is a stock dividend (saham bonus)?
A stock dividend — also called a bonus share — is a corporate action where the company distributes additional shares to existing shareholders for free, proportional to their holding. For example, a 1:10 ratio means you receive 1 new share for every 10 shares you hold.
Stock dividend vs cash dividend:
- Stock dividend → you receive more shares; your RDN cash balance is unchanged
- Cash dividend → you receive cash; your share count is unchanged
What to keep in mind:
- The share price typically adjusts (falls) after a stock dividend because more shares are in circulation
- Your total portfolio value does not fundamentally change at the moment of distribution
- Don't confuse a stock dividend with Pluang's own Bonus Stock Promo — they are unrelated concepts
