Founded in 1978, Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB) is one of the largest fund management companies in Malaysia. The core function of PNB is to evaluate, select and acquire a sound portfolio of shares in limited companies with growth potential. As an organization that specializes in investment, PNB in essence acts as a warehouse, whereby shareholdings in these limited companies are placed in trust funds and sold to unit holders in the form of smaller units.
