Unit holders to see automatic reinvestment from April 1 as transactions temporarily paused - March 28, 2026

AMANAH Saham Nasional Berhad (ASNB), the wholly owned unit trust management company of Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB), has announced total income distributions of RM2.36 billion for its fixed-price funds Amanah Saham Bumiputera 2 (ASB 2) and Amanah Saham Malaysia (ASM) for the financial year ending 31 March 2026.

ASB 2 declared total income distributions of RM0.82 billion, equivalent to 5.50 sen per unit, to 680,141-unit holders holding a combined total of 15.88 billion units.

Meanwhile, ASM announced RM1.54 billion in distributions, or 5 sen per unit, for 786,088-unit holders with holdings totalling 31.22 billion units.

PNB reported that as of 24 March 2026, ASB 2 recorded realised net income of RM0.9 billion, while ASM achieved RM1.64 billion.

The calculation of income distributions for both funds is based on the average minimum monthly balances held throughout the financial year for each fund.

“Distributions declared by these funds will be reinvested automatically into unit holders’ accounts on 1 April 2026,” PNB stated.

To facilitate the calculation of income distributions, ASB 2 and ASM transactions at ASNB branches and agents, including all online and internet banking channels, will be temporarily suspended from 27 to 31 March 2026.

Unit holders may review their distributions and resume transactions via the myASNB portal ([www.myasnb.com.my](http://www.myasnb.com.my)), the myASNB mobile application, or at any ASNB branch or agent nationwide starting 1 April 2026. - March 28, 2026
