SHAH ALAM, Feb 28 – The Employees Provident Fund (EPF) today declared a dividend rate of 6.15 per cent for 2025 for both conventional and shariah accounts.
EPF chief executive officer Ahmad Zulqarnain Onn said the total payout from the fund is RM79.6 billion.
The latest dividend rate is 0.15 per cent lower than the 6.3 per cent announced in 2024.
Zulqarnain added that for the year ended December 31, 2025, EPF recorded a total distributable income of RM82.7 billion, up 9.5 per cent from RM75.5 billion in 2024.
He said investment assets grew to RM1.41 trillion, an increase of 12.8 per cent from RM1.25 trillion previously, driven by portfolio income and net contributions of RM66.5 billion.
“Equities remained the primary contributor in 2025, generating RM50.7 billion, or 64 per cent of total investment income.
“This surpassed RM49.9 billion in 2024, while return of investment (ROI) moderated to 7.9 per cent amid global market volatility and softer domestic market conditions.
“Private equity investments, which represent around 8 per cent of the equity investments, recorded an ROI of 10.5 per cent,” Zulqarnain said when announcing the 2025 EPF dividend today.
