Khaberni – By the end of the third quarter of 2025, the Social Security Funds Investment assets reached the 18 billion dinar mark, registering a growth of 1.7 billion dinars since the beginning of the year and a growth rate of 10.6%, driven by the results of the investment portfolios and the rise in the market value of the strategic stock portfolio.
This growth came as a result of the rise in comprehensive income to about 1.6 billion dinars, compared to 664.5 million dinars for the same period last year, with a growth rate of 133.5%, in addition to the insurance surplus transferred from the General Institution for Social Security amounting to about 164 million dinars. Comprehensive income represents the net income of the fund, valued at about 809.6 million dinars, and the net increase in the valuation of the strategic stock portfolio is about 741.7 million dinars.
The net income derived from the various investment portfolios recorded a growth of 16% compared to the same period last year, where the income from the bond portfolio was about 454.6 million dinars, from stocks 222.4 million dinars, and from money market instruments 104.9 million dinars, alongside the returns from loan portfolios and real estate investments.
The assets of the fund’s portfolios were primarily distributed in the bond portfolio by 57.8%, the stock portfolio by 18.2%, money market instruments by 12.6%, real estate investments by 5%, the loan portfolio by 3.2%, and tourism investments by 1.8%.
Omar Malhas, the head of the investment board, confirmed that the results achieved this year reflect the solid investment approach adopted by the fund in managing its money, based on long-term planning and diversification of investment instruments and productive projects adding value to the national economy.
He added that the fund continues to consolidate its presence as an active national partner in major strategic projects that form a main pillar for sustainable growth in the kingdom, most notably its contribution to the national water carrier project, in addition to the fund’s interest in investing in a number of projects that contribute to diversifying its investment portfolio in line with the objectives of the economic modernization vision.
He indicated that these quality projects embody the national role of the fund in employing investments to achieve sustainable returns that enhance its financial position, while this approach also reflects an extension of the fund’s institutional role in supporting the national economic system and establishing a stable and effective investment environment in the long term.
Malhas emphasized that the fund continues to implement its ambitious investment vision aimed at maximizing return and contributing to driving development and creating quality opportunities in various sectors.
On his part, Dr. Azzedine Kanakrieh, the president of the fund, said that during the third quarter of this year, the fund continued to translate its investment plan into tangible accomplishments, through effective management of portfolios and measured movement in vital sectors, reflecting the maturity of investment policies and proper timing of the investment decision.
He pointed out that the fund continued during the past period to enhance its ownership in a number of strategic companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange, within a prudent policy based on precise evaluations and studied opportunities that achieve added value to the portfolio and support the strength of its long-term investments. He confirmed that this approach reflects the fund’s confidence in the available opportunities in the Jordanian financial market and its commitment to responsible investment that strengthens its position as a long-term institutional investor.
He also explained that the fund’s real estate investments are progressing at an escalating pace through purchasing strategic lands and signing long-term lease agreements with local investors according to the (BOT) model, thereby stimulating economic activity and creating new job opportunities in the provinces, and at the same time enhancing the value of the fund’s assets and the sustainability of its returns.
Kanakrieh added that these efforts are in harmony with the developmental role of the fund as a responsible national investor contributing to building a balanced and sustainable economy, combining the protection of Jordanians’ savings and maximizing the investment return, affirming that the fund is confidently moving forward towards further growth and expansion in productive sectors that supply the national economy with added value.
The Social Security Funds Investment will continue to implement its long-term investment plans, based on an institutional approach that combines efficiency and sustainability, and enhances its contribution to achieving economic and social development.
