Alternatively, you can choose to receive some of your distribution in cash and some in new units, where the number of new units will be a round number.
You can set up a table in Excel and calculate some possibilities. I found that if you choose to receive 1038 units in cash and 8962 units in new units:
8962 x 0.01881 / 0.8574 + 8962 x 0.00995 / 0.8574
= 196 + 104 (each must be rounded down to nearest whole unit)
= 300
Your new units' cost price is 8962 x 0.02876 / 300 = 0.8592. Separately, you get the residual cash of 1038 x 0.02876 = $29.85.

Hi Izy, i want to avoid odd lots too. I have calculated for my 12'000 lots, i can choose to receive 56 units in cash and 11944 in new units. This will give me 400 new units and $1.61 in residual cash, is this correct? thanks !

miscalculation?When u buy or sell next time, u can sell or buy odd shares together.
Not a big problem.
how comemiscalculation?
Poems allow to amalgamate the order. Odd shares under "unit trade share"I thought odd lots are traded on a separate market?
