The general context of REITs in the Kingdom
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are a significant investment tool in the Saudi financial market, offering individual and institutional investors the opportunity to invest in a diversified portfolio of income-generating properties without the need to purchase properties directly. This sector has witnessed remarkable growth since its inception, supported by regulatory frameworks from the Capital Market Authority and aligned with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030, which aims to diversify the economy and deepen the financial market.
The importance of distributions and their expected impact
Announcing regular cash dividends is a strong positive indicator of the health of a fund's real estate assets and the efficiency of their management. For investors, these distributions provide a periodic return, enhancing the appeal of REITs as an income-generating investment option. Domestically, this step contributes to increased investor confidence in the Saudi real estate sector and the financial market as a whole, and encourages further liquidity in this type of investment vehicle.
Eligibility and disbursement dates
Wasata Capital clarified that the dividend entitlement will be for unit holders registered in the records of the Securities Depository Center (Edaa) at the close of trading on Wednesday, 23 Sha'ban 1447 AH, corresponding to February 11, 2026. This is based on the unit holders' register at the close of trading on the second trading day following the entitlement date, i.e., the close of trading on Monday, 21 Sha'ban 1447 AH, corresponding to February 9, 2026. The company indicated that the distribution payment process for eligible shareholders will commence within 30 business days from the specified entitlement date.
