Kuala Lumpur, 15 November 2025 – PMB United, the Sports & Recreational Club under Pelaburan MARA Berhad, successfully hosted the 23rd Inter-Unit Trust Bowling Tournament 2025 at Wangsa Bowl, Wangsa Walk.

The event brought together 31 teams comprising 124 participants from unit trust companies, asset management firms, and other leading organizations. This year also saw strong participation from the media fraternity, represented by six teams with 24 participants.

We are a strategic investment and financial services company, wholly owned by MARA Corporation Sdn Bhd (MARA Corp). Our core activities include investment, asset management, Islamic financing, corporate advisory, and investment data services.

Our journey began in 1965 when the first Bumiputera Economic Congress passed a resolution to establish an entity that would serve as a platform for direct and active Bumiputera involvement in the nation's economic growth, particularly in capital markets. Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA) was tasked with realizing this vision, leading to the establishment of Pelaburan MARA Berhad (formerly Amanah Saham MARA Berhad) two years later.

In 2018, MARA transferred all its shares in Pelaburan MARA Berhad to MARA Corp as part of a rationalization exercise involving MARA's commercial entities.
