Kuala Lumpur, 16 April 2026 – PMB Investment Berhad (PMB Investment), an Islamic Fund Management Company (IFMC) operating under Pelaburan MARA Berhad, has announced income distributions for two of its funds, the PMB Shariah Dividend Fund and the PMB Shariah Index Fund for the financial year ended 31 March 2026.

PMB Shariah Dividend Fund

The PMB Shariah Dividend Fund declared an income distribution of 2.39 sen per unit, representing a total gross distribution of RM1,344,141.09. Prior to the distribution, the fund's Net Asset Value (NAV) stood at RM0.2706 per unit, settling at RM0.2467 post-distribution. Based on the closing NAV as at 31 March 2026, this translates to a distribution yield of 10.03%, with the fund recording a total return of 11.54% over the same period.

With a double-digit yield and a strong overall return, the PMB Shariah Dividend Fund continues to distinguish itself as a compelling income-generating option, offering a meaningful alternative to conventional savings instruments and fixed deposits for investors who prioritise both returns and ethical investing.

The PMB Shariah Dividend Fund is structured for consistent income generation, allocating between 70% and 99.5% of its NAV to Shariah-compliant equities and equity-related securities. The remaining portion is invested in Islamic money market instruments, sukuk, Islamic deposits, and other Shariah-aligned assets with a long-term objective of outperforming traditional fixed-income products.

PMB Shariah Index Fund

The PMB Shariah Index Fund recorded a distribution of 2.50 sen per unit, amounting to a total of RM1,155,844.50. The NAV per unit was RM0.5585 before the distribution, adjusting to RM0.5335 thereafter, reflecting a distribution yield of 4.89% for the financial year, with a total return of 9.17% over the same period.

Designed for investors seeking broad, passive exposure to Malaysia's Shariah-compliant equity market, the PMB Shariah Index Fund mirrors the FTSE Bursa Malaysia EMAS Shariah Index (FBMSHA). Its benchmark-aligned strategy continues to deliver diversified, risk-balanced returns, marking yet another solid year of performance for unitholders.

Both distributions were credited on 31 March 2026, with the reinvestment date set for 1 April 2026.

Hang Tuah Amin Tajudin, Chief Executive Officer, PMB Investment, remarked, "Our investment strategy is anchored in discipline, transparency, and unwavering Shariah compliance. Over the past five years, the PMB Shariah Dividend Fund has delivered a cumulative return of 41.62%, demonstrating its capacity to generate both income and capital growth. At the same time, the PMB Shariah Index Fund posted a 24.00% cumulative return, remaining closely aligned with the FTSE Bursa Malaysia EMAS Shariah Index. These results speak to the resilience and consistency of our approach across varying market conditions."

Datuk Mohd Idzwan Izuddin Ab Rahman, Chairman of PMB Investment, added, "We see our role as more than fund managers, we are partners in our investors' financial journey. Our Islamic investment framework ensures every decision is grounded in both ethical integrity and sound financial judgment. As the demand for Shariah-compliant solutions continues to grow among Malaysians, PMB Investment remains committed to leading with transparency, earning trust, and delivering results that matter."
