PNB to offer 500m new ASM units
By Zuraimi Abdullah
PERMODALAN Nasional Bhd (PNB), the country's largest fund manager, is offering 500 million new Amanah Saham Malaysia (ASM) units from next week, the fourth time the unit trust scheme got topped up since its inception in 2002.
PNB is expecting a repeat of the previous investor rush for the additional ASM units, where they snapped up within hours.
 When it was first launched in April 2002, the two billion units offered were fully subscribed in 21 days. Last year, an extra one billion new units were fully subscribed in less than two hours and another one billion new units launched in March 2007 were snapped up within one day.
PNB - through its unit trust arm Amanah Saham Nasional Bhd - is managing 5.28 billion units of ASM, excluding the latest units.
The fixed price unit trust is open for subscription from July 18 to 24 to all Malaysians aged six months old and above.
PNB president and group chief executive Tan Sri Hamad Kama Piah Che Othman said the extra 500 million units are expected to be fully subscribed within one or two days.
"I think with the competitive returns every year, the new units will receive overwhelming response from investors," he told a news conference in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.
Hamad Kama Piah said the average annual income distribution declared by ASM has been 7.02 sen per unit in the past seven years,even though PNB has the capacity to give about 10 per cent per year.
He said the new units were for investors who had missed out on the earlier issues and existing investors seeking to top up their investments.
PNB has capped investment at 50,000 units for each investor during the one-week offer to ensure a fair distribution to the public. The cap will lifted for the remaining units left after the offer period.
"I hope the new units will also attract civil servants who received their salary increment recently," Hamad Kama Piah said.
