Maybank Asset Management Maybank Malaysia Growth-I Fund
Islamic Investing in Pahang
Shariah-compliant Malaysian equity fund from Maybank Asset Management targeting steady capital growth over the medium to long term. Sales charge up to 5.50% of NAV per unit, annual management fee 1.5% of NAV, annual trustee fee 0.08% subject to a minimum of RM18,000. Launch date is not published on the fund page; fee data from the fund's official listing (crawled 2026-08-07).
A solid group-backed halal equity option whose public disclosure trails the competition: the fund page gives full fees but no inception date, minimum or named Shariah adviser, all of which live in the prospectus. Kenanga publishes scholar profiles and Public Mutual prints commencement dates in its PHS, so on transparency-per-click Maybank AM has work to do. Existing Maybank2U customers gain convenience; others have little reason to pay 5.50% maximum entry (fund page, crawled 2026-08-07).
Pros
- Backing of Malaysia's largest banking group
- Fee table published openly on the fund page
Cons
- Launch date and minimum investment are not printed on the fund page, only in offer documents
- No named scholars on the manager's public fund page
- 5.50% maximum sales charge is above Public Mutual's 5.0% cap

Maybank Asset Management in Pahang
Maybank Asset Management's Maybank Malaysia Growth-I Fund is accessible to investors in Pahang, structured as Shariah-compliant Malaysian equity fund: Islamic funds and portfolios in Malaysia are national digital products, so region matters less than fees and governance.

How Maybank Asset Management Works

Filter for -I funds
The Islamic range is identified by the -I suffix and Shariah-compliant flags.
Check offer documents for minimums
Launch dates and minimum investments are in the prospectus rather than fund pages.
Financing Structure

In-Depth Analysis
Maybank Asset Management Sdn Bhd runs the Maybank group's Malaysian fund shelf, with Islamic mandates carrying the -I suffix and a Shariah-compliant flag in each fund's information table. The group also operates Maybank Islamic Asset Management as a dedicated Islamic manager, listed in the corporate navigation (site, crawled 2026-08-07).
Two retail Islamic funds stand out. The Maybank Malaysia Growth-I Fund is the Shariah equity mandate: 5.50% maximum sales charge, 1.5% management, 0.08% trustee. The Maybank Malaysia Sukuk Fund is the sharper product at 0.35% management and 2.00% maximum entry, the cheapest dedicated sukuk fund fee we recorded anywhere in this market (fund pages, crawled 2026-08-07).
The transparency gap is real: neither fund page prints a launch date, minimum investment or Shariah adviser name, all deferred to offer documents. Peers like Kenanga (scholar profiles) and Public Mutual (PHS with commencement dates) set a better standard.
Shariah Compliance Details
- Shariah-compliant flags printed on official fund information tables (crawled 2026-08-07)
- Maybank Islamic Asset Management operates as the group's dedicated Islamic manager
- Scholar names not published on crawled fund pages, noted as a disclosure gap
How Maybank Asset Management Compares
Maybank AM wins one category outright: sukuk cost, where 0.35% undercuts Principal's enhanced sukuk cap by two-thirds. On equity it is one of several 1.5%-fee options with weaker page-level disclosure than Kenanga or Public Mutual. The group brand carries weight; the public documentation does not yet match it.
Pricier sukuk fund but a stronger equity flagship and better-documented Islamic range.
Lower equity sales charge cap and printed PHS detail.
Bottom Line
Come for the 0.35% sukuk fund, which is the best halal fixed income deal in the market; look elsewhere if you need page-level governance disclosure before investing.

Why It's Halal
The fund page states the mandate invests only through 'investments permissible under the Shariah Principles' and flags its Shariah-compliant status directly in the fund information table (Maybank AM fund page, crawled 2026-08-07). Maybank Asset Management sits within the Maybank group alongside Maybank Islamic Asset Management, the group's dedicated Islamic manager, and its -I suffix funds form a separately identified Islamic range on the manager's fund list. Holdings follow the SC Shariah Advisory Council compliant-securities framework that governs all Malaysian Islamic unit trusts.
