AHB is a Shariah compliant real-estate backed trust fund with a fixed-price of RM1.00 per unit. It enables Bumiputera investors to participate in the beneficial ownership of real estate assets by providing them a regular and consistent income stream. The Fund is available for subscription at all Maybank, AmBank and AmBank Islamic branches nationwide. 

On issues relating to the current COVID 19 pandemic and the Movement Control Order (MCO), the Managing Director of PHB, Dato’ Mahmud Fauzi Muda informs that the company is finalizing a Rental Relief Programme to assist the affected retail tenants at their malls as well as other buildings.
