Key highlights

Helia Group (ASX:HLI), WAM Capital (ASX:WAM), Regal Partners (ASX:RPL) and Latitude Group (ASX:LFS) carry annual dividend yields of 23.68%, 15.50%, 13.36% and 13.29%.
Franking ranges from 100% at Regal and Latitude to 60% at WAM and 37% at Helia, where the interim dividend is fully franked but a 27.0 cent special dividend is not.
All four reported recent dividends or announcements in 2026, including Helia’s 11 August half-year results and Regal’s 24 August 1H26 results.

Franking credits can add to the value of a dividend for shareholders who can use them, which is why franked dividend yields are often followed separately from unfranked ones. This article reviews four ASX-listed financial stocks whose latest dividends carry franking credits: Helia Group Limited (ASX:HLI), WAM Capital Limited (ASX:WAM), Regal Partners Limited (ASX:RPL) and Latitude Group Holdings Limited (ASX:LFS). Prices and moves are for the trading session on 22 October 2026. Annual yield figures are not forecasts and are not a recommendation.

The four stocks side by side

Ticker	Company	Annual yield	Price (22 Oct 2026)	Day change	Franking
ASX:HLI	Helia Group Limited	23.68%	$5.320	+0.757%	37%
ASX:WAM	WAM Capital Limited	15.50%	$1.000	--1.960%	60%
ASX:RPL	Regal Partners Limited	13.36%	$2.020	-0.492%	100%
ASX:LFS	Latitude Group Holdings Limited	13.29%	$0.800	+1.265%	100%

Sector context

The four companies are an insurer, a listed investment company, an alternatives investment manager and a consumer lender. Their dividends come from different sources: Helia’s from insurance profits and capital above regulatory requirements, WAM’s from investment profits reserves, Regal’s from fee and performance fee earnings, and Latitude’s from consumer finance earnings. Franking depends on the Australian tax paid by each company, which is why the levels differ.

Helia Group (ASX:HLI): 23.68%

Helia shares were priced at $5.320 during the session, up 0.757%. It carries an annual yield of 23.68%, which reflects an interim dividend of 43.0 cents made up of a 16.0 cent fully franked interim dividend and a 27.0 cent unfranked special dividend, with an ex-date of 20 August 2026 and a payment date of 4 September 2026. That gives overall franking of 37%.

In its 11 August 2026 half-year report, Helia reported profit after tax of $100.0 million, down 25.2%, and regulatory capital of 2.07 times the prescribed amount, above the board’s target range of 1.40 to 1.60 times. The latest dividend alone equals about 8.1% of the share price, a figure calculated for this article.

WAM Capital (ASX:WAM): 15.50%

WAM Capital shares were priced at $1.000, down 1.960%. It carries an annual yield of 15.50%, based on a final dividend of 7.75 cents, 60% franked, with an ex-date of 8 October 2026 and a payment date of 21 October 2026. An interim dividend of the same amount was also declared for FY26.

The company’s Appendix 4E reported a net loss after tax of $125.9 million for the year to 30 June 2026 and net tangible asset backing of $1.22 per share before tax, down from $1.57. The latest dividend alone equals about 7.8% of the share price, a calculated figure.

Regal Partners (ASX:RPL): 13.36%

Regal shares were priced at $2.020, down 0.492%. It carries an annual yield of 13.36%, based on a fully franked interim dividend of 12.0 cents with an ex-date of 28 August 2026 and a payment date of 30 September 2026.

In its 24 August 2026 results, Regal reported normalised NPAT of $93.3 million, up 108%, funds under management of $21.4 billion and about $290 million of balance sheet capital, and on 14 October 2026 it reported funds under management of about $21.9 billion. The latest dividend alone equals about 5.9% of the share price, a calculated figure.

Latitude Group (ASX:LFS): 13.29%

Latitude shares were priced at $0.800, up 1.265%. It carries an annual yield of 13.29%, based on a fully franked interim dividend of 5.5 cents with an ex-date of 22 September 2026 and a payment date of 22 October 2026, the date of the session.

On 15 October 2026, an ASX notice said Latitude’s hybrid securities, code LFSPA, were suspended from quotation pending redemption, with removal to follow after the redemption announcement and an Appendix 3H. The latest dividend alone equals about 6.9% of the share price, a calculated figure.

What the yield figures do and do not show

The annual yield is a summary of dividends over a period relative to the share price and is not a forecast. In each case the latest dividend alone is a smaller percentage of the share price than the annual yield, which indicates the annual figures include more than one payment, and for Helia the annual figure includes a special dividend that may not recur. Franking levels also differ, and the value of franking credits depends on the circumstances of each shareholder.

Wrapping up

Four stocks with franked dividends show annual yields from 13.29% to 23.68%, with franking from 37% to 100%. Their own announcements are the source for dividend amounts, dates and conditions.
