KUALA LUMPUR: OSK-UOB Unit Trust Management Bhd has declared an option payout to investors of its OSK-UOB capital protected gold-linked fund.

In a statement, OSK-UOB said the option was issued on the JPMCCI Gold Excess Return Index and upon reaching its second anniversary on June 7, 2010 had generated positive returns resulting in the payout to their investors.

"The option payout gives our investors an 8.19% return.
