Over RM11mil payout for PMB Investment's shariah funds

KUALA LUMPUR: PMB Investment Bhd has declared annual distributions of two sen per unit for both of its shariah funds totalling RM11.26 million.

This is for PMB Shariah Premier Fund and PMB Shariah Equity Fund’s financial year ended Aug 31, 2025 and Aug 30, 2025 respectively.

The Shariah Premier Fund achieved 5.26 per cent yield with a total gross distribution of RM4.85 million.

The fund’s net asset value (NAV) will adjust from RM0.4048 to RM0.3848 following the distribution, with the ex-date on Aug 29, 2025 and the reinvestment date on

Sept 2, 2025.

The PMB Shariah Equity Fund delivered a 3.37 per cent yield with a total gross distribution of RM6.41 million.

The fund’s NAV will move from RM0.6364 to RM0.6164 post-distribution, sharing the same ex-date as Shariah Premier Fund.

PMB Investment chief executive officer Hang Tuah Amin Tajudin said the distributions reflect the company’s disciplined investment approach and strong fund performance.

“The Shariah Premier Fund has delivered a three-year cumulative return of 37.57 per cent or 12.52 per cent average annually as of Aug 31, 2025, with today’s 5.26 per cent yield.

“Our Shariah Equity Fund achieved

62.29 per cent cumulative returns, with a 3.37 per cent yield. We remain optimistic

about shariah-compliant investment opportunities and our research capabilities to deliver sustained value for our unitholders,” he said in a statement.

Launched in 1972, the Shariah Premier Fund is PMB Investment’s 12th fund and aims to achieve capital growth over the medium to long term by investing in any of the 50 largest shariah-compliant stocks by market capitalisation (at the time of purchase) listed on Bursa Malaysia.

Meanwhile, Shariah Equity Fund was launched in 1995, specifically for Tenaga Nasional Bhd employees, before being opened to the public in 2022.

Under normal circumstances, both funds allocate between 70 per cent and 99.5 per vent respectively, of their NAV to shariah-compliant equities and equity-related securities.

“The total RM11.26 million in distributions reflects strong portfolio management and careful selection of shariah-compliant investments throughout the financial year,” said PMB Investment chairman Datuk Mohd Idzwan Izuddin Ab Rahman.
