The Social Security Investment Fund has intensified its purchasing activities on the Amman Stock Exchange since the beginning of the year, especially in the last two months, focusing on shares of leading companies. This move leverages the positive expectations accompanying the growth in the national economy, with the profits of companies listed on the Amman Financial Market reaching record levels of about 1,520 million Jordanian dinars before tax and about 1,060 million dinars net profits for the current half-year.
The fund, considered one of the most important investment funds, made selective purchases of shares in leading banks and service companies, notably the Jordanian Electric Power Company, aiming to strengthen its investments in the financial market. The stock investment portfolio achieved profits of 680 million dinars by the end of June 2025, coming from stock dividends amounting to 191 million and an increase in the market value of shares by 489 million dinars.
These operations reflect the sound investment decisions of the fund’s management and its technical committees, which study the market reality on one hand and the future expectations of these companies in light of the performance achieved by the end of June this year, and the accelerated pace of economic growth which reached 2.8% in the first half, on the other hand.
The fund has become a key buyer and player in the market, sending important messages to local and foreign investors; it boosts local investor confidence in the strength of the Jordanian economy and highlights the financial market and stock exchange as an important window for investing savings, especially as the realized profits increased by 9.4%.
For foreign investors, it confirms the trust that the National Pension Fund places in enhancing its investments in the stock market, affirming that investment in the stock market, whether strategic or medium-term, represents a winning opportunity without any risk. Their proof that it carries no risks is the confidence of the Social Security Investment Fund in this investment window.
According to data at the end of June this year, the value of the fund’s public contributions portfolio reaches 2,944.4 million dinars, constituting 17.1% of the fund’s total investment portfolio and achieving profits with a return exceeding 25.2%.
With the increase in the fund’s portfolio value and the growing opportunity to achieve profits, this percentage is expected to double, remaining far from the return level of any other investment window available in the market, although the fund does not aim for quick profit from these investments but aims to build strong financial positions that enable it to sustain profit achievement and increase the fund’s revenues.
Diversifying investment in stocks among the financial, industrial, and service sectors is another guarantee that the investment fund benefits from the achieved growth, whether at the macro or sectoral level.
