The Saudi Economic and Development Securities Company (SEDCO Capital), in its capacity as fund manager, announced its decision to distribute cash dividends to unit holders of the SEDCO Capital Multi-Asset Traded Fund.

The company clarified in an official statement published on the Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul) website that the total dividends to be distributed amount to SAR 3 million. These dividends will be distributed based on 30 million outstanding units. Accordingly, the dividend per unit is SAR 0.100, representing a distribution rate of 1.01% of the net asset value as of December 31, 2025 (corresponding to 11 Rajab 1447 AH).

Context of exchange-traded funds in the Saudi market
This announcement comes at a time when the exchange-traded fund (ETF) sector in Saudi Arabia is experiencing significant growth, supported by regulatory frameworks developed by the Capital Market Authority. Multi-asset funds are an important investment tool that allows investors to diversify their portfolios across different asset classes (such as equities, sukuk, and real estate) to mitigate risk and achieve a balance between growth and income.
The importance of distributions for investors and the local economy
These distributions are particularly important in enhancing the attractiveness of the Saudi financial market, as investors, both individuals and institutions, seek investment vehicles that provide regular cash flow. The continued distribution of cash by funds like SEDCO Capital contributes to strengthening market confidence and aligns with the objectives of the Financial Sector Development Program, a pillar of the Kingdom's Vision 2030, which aims to diversify income sources and promote a culture of saving and investment within society.
