This growth is attributed to the rise in comprehensive income, which reached approximately 485.6 million dinars during the first quarter, compared to 482.7 million dinars for the same period last year, in addition to the insurance surplus transferred from the Social Security Corporation amounting to around 30 million dinars.
Comprehensive income consists of the fund’s net income of 252.7 million dinars, alongside an increase in the valuation of the strategic equity portfolio by approximately 232.9 million dinars.
Net income from investment portfolios recorded a growth of 5.4% compared to the same period last year. The income was distributed as follows: 164 million dinars from the bond portfolio, 50.7 million dinars from the equity portfolio, 28.7 million dinars from money market instruments, in addition to income from other portfolios.
Regarding cash dividends from companies’ 2025 financial results, the fund expects its share of distributions to exceed 200 million dinars so far, with the largest impact of these distributions expected to be reflected in the second-quarter results of the current year.
The fund’s assets were distributed as follows: bonds 56.7%, equities 20.7%, money market instruments 10.5%, real estate investments 6%, loans 2.8%, and the tourism portfolio 1.7%.
Chairman of the Social Security Investment Council, Omar Malhas, said that surpassing the 19-billion-dinar mark reflects “a prudent investment methodology based on diversification, risk management, and achieving sustainable returns.”
He added that 2026 is witnessing an expansion in investments in major national projects, including the Aqaba Railway Project with a 7% stake, and the National Water Carrier Project with a 15% stake, in addition to participation in bank financing and tourism projects.
For his part, Head of the Fund Ezzedine Kanakrieh confirmed that the first quarter of this year witnessed active investment movements, including strengthening investments in the Amman Stock Exchange and expanding into the banking, mining, and real estate sectors, alongside studying new opportunities in education, technology, and mining sectors.
He pointed out that the fund’s investments in strategic projects have both direct and indirect impacts, contributing to supporting the national economy and enhancing the financial sustainability of the Social Security Fund.
According to its officials, the fund continues to strengthen its role as a long-term institutional investor that balances achieving returns with supporting major development projects in the Kingdom.
