The Armed Forces Fund Board (LTAT) has officially declared a dividend of 5.35% for the financial year ended December 31, 2025. This announcement, made today, Monday, 16 March 2026, marks a consistent return for its members despite the volatile global economic climate. The total payout amounts to approximately RM485 million, benefiting over 120,000 contributors from the Malaysian Armed Forces.

Defense Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin highlighted that this competitive rate reflects LTAT's robust investment strategy and its commitment to the welfare of military personnel. The board’s performance was bolstered by strategic divestments and strong earnings from its core portfolio in the banking and plantation sectors. Members can expect the dividend to be credited into their accounts starting from Wednesday, 25 March 2026.

Moving forward, LTAT plans to further diversify its assets into sustainable energy and digital infrastructure to ensure long-term value creation. The minister also reiterated that the fund's restructuring plan is on track to enhance governance and transparency. This positive financial update provides a timely boost for military families as they prepare for the upcoming Hari Raya Aidilfitri festivities.
