Distribution Composition Insights

The financial health of The Mexico Fund allows for significant dividends, but the exact amount of distributable income can fluctuate based on the overall performance of the Fund. It’s important to note that distributions may comprise net investment income, capital gains, and return of capital.

Current Performance Metrics and Returns

For context, the average annual total return for the five years leading up to February 28, 2025, stands at a robust 9.18%. During the current fiscal year, the Fund has an annualized distribution rate of 3.80%, alongside a cumulative total return of 1.27% as of the same date, with a cumulative distribution rate already recorded at 1.25%. This indicates the Fund's stronger than usual performance metrics, intended to reassure potential and current investors alike of its viability.

Key Considerations for Investors

The actual figures may evolve as market conditions and the Fund's investment decisions take shape throughout the fiscal year.
