KUALA LUMPUR (April 9): Amanah Hartanah Bumiputera (AHB) has declared an interim income distribution of 2.5 sen per unit for the six-month period ended March 31, 2026, amounting to a total payout of RM118.74 million to about 87,000 unitholders.
In a statement on Thursday, Pelaburan Hartanah Bhd (PHB) and PHB Asset Management Bhd (PHBAM) said the distribution comprises 2.06 sen per unit income distribution and 0.44 sen per unit bonus distribution.
The bonus portion is funded by PHB as sponsor and applies to the first one million units held by each unitholder.
The latest payout brings AHB’s cumulative income distribution since its inception in 2010 to RM2.5 billion.
For investors holding less than 10,000 units, the distribution will be paid in units. Those with 10,000 units and above will receive the distribution in cash, which will be credited directly into their bank accounts on April 13, 2026. The distribution is net of tax and zakat, requiring no further deductions by investors.
PHB group managing director Mazuki Abdullah @ Muhammad said the payout reflects the resilience of AHB’s portfolio amid a volatile economic environment.
“This income distribution underscores the resilience of AHB’s portfolio and PHB’s disciplined approach in navigating a dynamic market environment,” he said.
He added that the fund’s performance continues to be supported by a diversified portfolio of prime commercial assets, as well as active asset management and a long-term investment strategy.
Looking ahead, Mazuki said PHB will continue to strengthen the portfolio through strategic asset allocation, prudent capital management, and disciplined acquisitions and divestments to ensure sustainable returns.
Meanwhile, PHBAM chief executive officer Zulkifli Ishak said the fund manager will step up financial literacy and awareness programmes, alongside a more aggressive marketing strategy aimed at widening participation among the Bumiputera community.
Established in 2010, AHB is a shariah-compliant real estate investment unit trust fund that gives Bumiputera investors access to ownership in prime commercial real estate assets, with a minimum initial investment of RM100.
