KUALA LUMPUR: Permodalan Nasional Bhd’s (PNB) wholly owned unit trust management company, Amanah Saham Nasional Bhd (ASNB), has declared a total income distribution of 5.75 sen per unit for Amanah Saham Bumiputera (ASB) for the financial year ending Dec 31 (FY2025). In a statement yesterday, PNB said the total payout amounts to RM10.4bil, the highest quantum of annual distribution paid since ASB’s inception and will benefit 11.4 million ASB unitholders. PNB group chairman Raja Tan Sri Arshad Raja Tun Uda said this brings ASB’s cumulative income distribution to RM206.7bil, reflecting the resilience and strength of ASB’s investment portfolio. PNB said the units re-invested from the income distribution will be credited into the unitholders’ accounts on Jan 1, 2026. They said the payout preserved capital stability while offering investors meaningful real returns amid an uneven global investment landscape.
