What did MFF Capital Investments report?

  • Total revenue and other income fell 44% to $308.9 million (Dec 2024: $551.8 million)
  • Net profit after tax was down 45% to $209.7 million (Dec 2024: $381.5 million)
  • Pre-tax net tangible assets (NTA) increased to $5.279 per share, up from $5.021 at 30 June 2025
  • Post-tax NTA rose to $4.432 per share (30 June 2025: $4.167)
  • Fully franked interim dividend declared at 10 cents per share, with intention to raise the next dividend to 11 cents
  • Net assets up 7% to $2.61 billion over the half-year

What else do investors need to know?

MFF's board flagged its intention to further increase the next six-monthly dividend payment to 11 cents per share, supported by healthy franking credit reserves. The company's net assets at 31 December 2025 grew to $2.61 billion, reflecting steady capital appreciation despite a year of choppy global equity markets and a weaker US dollar impacting reported profits.

During the half, MFF made investments to become fully autonomous following the end of its long-term service arrangements with Magellan. The firm now operates with a team of 17 and has internalised all key operational and investment management functions, seeking long-term compounding for shareholders.

What's next for MFF Capital Investments?

Looking ahead, MFF aims to deliver sustained growth in net tangible assets and dividends. The company is positioned for future growth, having completed the transition to operational independence and invested in expanding in-house capabilities. MFF states its focus remains on holding a concentrated portfolio of high-quality global companies and seeking enduring capital growth through disciplined, long-term investing.

MFF will continue to keep shareholders informed with regular NTA updates, noting that returns will reflect ongoing market volatility and currency movements. The next dividend uplift is flagged for the period to June 2026, backed by a substantial franking credit balance.
