Kuala Lumpur (Feb 4) - Public Mutual has announced a total distribution of RM64 million involving four of its unit trust funds for the financial year ending 31 January 2026. The payout will be made to unitholders based on their respective holdings in the affected funds.
The distributions declared are as follows: the Public Enhanced Bond Fund and the Public e-Sukuk Fund will each distribute 4.75 sen per unit on an annual basis. Meanwhile, the PB Dividend Builder Equity Fund will see an annual distribution of 0.40 sen per unit, while the Public Islamic Optimal Growth Fund will distribute 0.05 sen per unit for the same period.
As Malaysia’s largest private unit trust management company, Public Mutual manages more than 180 funds across various asset classes.

Nationwide, the company operates through a network of 31 branches and customer service centres.
Impact on Sabahans:
For Sabah-based investors holding units in any of these four funds, the announced distribution translates into additional income or reinvested units, depending on their investment preferences. This can be particularly meaningful for retirees and long-term savers in Sabah who rely on unit trust investments as part of their financial planning. The payout also highlights continued participation opportunities for Sabahans in Malaysia’s unit trust market, especially for those seeking diversified investment options that generate periodic returns.
