Alinma Investment Company, in its capacity as manager of the Alinma REIT Retail Fund, announced its decision to distribute cash dividends to the fund’s unit holders for the second half of the year, extending from July 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025. The total value of the planned distributions amounted to SAR 20.06 million, reflecting the fund’s continued operational performance and its commitment to investors.
Details of cash distributions and payment dates
According to a statement published on the Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul) website, the distribution will be based on the outstanding units, which number approximately 118 million (based on total value and per unit), with the per-unit profit set at SAR 0.17. This distribution represents 2.44% of the net asset value, a rate reflecting the periodic returns the fund aims to achieve.
Regarding the entitlement to profits, the company clarified that the entitlement will be for unit holders registered in the records of the Securities Depository Center Company (Edaa) at the end of trading on Monday, January 12, 2026. The company also confirmed its commitment to paying the distributions to those entitled within a maximum period of 15 working days from the entitlement date, which ensures the rapid arrival of liquidity to investors.
The importance of REITs in the Saudi market
These distributions are particularly important in the context of the Saudi financial market, where Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are a vital investment vehicle that allows individual and institutional investors to participate in the real estate market with flexible capital and high liquidity. These funds are required by the Capital Market Authority's regulations to distribute at least 90% of their net annual profits, making them an attractive option for those seeking a continuous income stream.
Performance implications for the retail sector and the economy
Al-Inma REIT Retail's announcement of these distributions reflects the stability of the commercial and retail real estate sector in the Kingdom, as the fund's returns are primarily based on rents collected from its shopping centers and real estate assets. The continued cash flow and regular distributions indicate a recovery and growth in business activity, which benefits the local economy as a whole.
Moreover, this type of disclosure and transparency contributes to enhancing investor confidence in the Saudi financial market (Tadawul), and supports the objectives of the Financial Sector Development Program, one of the pillars of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030, which aims to diversify sources of income and stimulate savings and investment through reliable and regulated financial instruments.
