Mulkiya Investment Company, the manager of Mulkiya Gulf Real Estate REIT, announced its decision to distribute cash dividends to the fund's unit holders for the period ending December 31, 2025. This announcement confirms the fund's stable performance and its ability to generate periodic returns for investors in the Saudi real estate sector.
The general context of REITs in the Kingdom
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are a significant investment tool in the Saudi financial market. They were launched to enhance transparency and provide greater liquidity to the real estate sector, aligning with the Kingdom's Vision 2030 goals of economic diversification and financial market development. These funds offer smaller investors the opportunity to invest in income-generating real estate assets, such as commercial and residential complexes, offices, and hotels, which were previously the domain of large investors and institutions. The periodic distribution of profits is one of the key advantages that attracts investors to these funds.
Dividend distribution details
According to a statement issued by the company and published on the Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul) website, the total value of distributed profits amounts to SAR 8.3 million . This amount will be distributed among the total number of outstanding units, which is 103,765,995 units, meaning that the profit distributed per unit is SAR 0.08 . The company clarified that these distributions represent 1% of the net asset value of the fund as of December 31, 2025.
The importance and impact of distributions
This distribution reflects the fund management's confidence in the strength and stability of its real estate assets and their ability to generate regular cash flows. For investors, this announcement serves as confirmation of their investment returns, enhancing the fund's appeal as an income-generating investment option. More broadly, such announcements contribute to increased confidence among local and international investors in the Saudi real estate market and the financial market as a whole, highlighting the maturity of the REIT sector as a key pillar of the local economy.
Mechanism and due dates
The company has specified that the cash dividends will be payable to unit holders registered in the unit holders' register at the Securities Depository Center as of the end of Thursday, 17 Sha'ban 1447 AH (corresponding to February 5, 2026). This will be based on trading activity up to the end of Tuesday, 15 Sha'ban 1447 AH (corresponding to February 3, 2026). The company indicated that dividend payments to eligible recipients will commence within 35 business days of the specified entitlement date.
