Summary
WAM Alternative Assets Limited (ASX: WMA) announced an increased interim dividend of 3.0 cents per share, which is partially franked at 60%, marking an increase from the previous year's 2.7 cents per share. The company has reported a strong total shareholder return of 9.4% for the six months ending 31 December 2025, or 10.8% when including franking credits.

The company expects continued growth and further strategic exits within its private equity component, and it remains focused on providing stable returns and portfolio diversification for its shareholders.
