Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB)[1] is a Malaysian government-linked investment company that was established on 17 March 1978 as one of the instruments of the Economic Policy (NEP) to re-engineer the economic imbalance in the Malaysia society. Yayasan Pelaburan Bumiputra (YPB) was set up earlier in January 1978 to formulate the policies and guidelines for Bumiputera equity investment participants. In order to implement its policies, YPB set up PNB as a wholly owned subsidiary. Today, PNB is one of Malaysia’s largest fund management companies, which owns unit trust management companies namely, Amanah Saham Nasional Berhad (ASNB) and Amanah Mutual Berhad (AMB).

PNB has grown from strength to strength, with its assets under management (AUM) now reaching RM271 billion, from around RM3.5 billion in 1981. It is now the market leader in the Malaysian unit trust industry, with ASNB now managing more than 13 million accounts with almost 217 billion units in circulation (UIC). PNB has also enabled the sharing of corporate wealth with all Malaysians by delivering consistent, competitive returns over the years to its unit holders, with more than RM157 billion paid out since inception.

Today, PNB is a major investor in Bursa Malaysia, investing nearly 10% of the market capitalisation of the bourse, across most major Malaysian corporates and also actively contributing towards the nation’s human capital development through scholarships and employment opportunities. The Company’s STRIVE-15 Strategic Plan 2017–2022 is now in motion, as it advances towards attaining the vision of becoming a Distinctive World Class Investment House.

History

The company was founded on 17 March 1978 based on idea from Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, as a pivotal instrument of the Government New Economic Policy to promote share ownership among the Bumiputera (Natives; lit: Son of the Soil), and to develop opportunities for deserving Bumiputera professionals to participate in the creation and management of wealth.
