Insights

The Mexico Fund's latest distribution announcement reveals several noteworthy aspects for investors. The $0.22 per share distribution presents a mixed picture of the fund's income generation and capital management strategy. A significant portion (45.52%) comes from net investment income, indicating healthy underlying portfolio earnings.

However, the substantial return of capital component (36.14%) warrants attention. While return of capital can be tax-efficient, it essentially represents a return of investors' original investment rather than earned returns. This high proportion might suggest challenges in generating sufficient income or gains to fully support the distribution level.

The fund's 5-year average annual total return of 7.11% demonstrates reasonable long-term performance, but the current fiscal year's negative return of 4.71% indicates recent headwinds. The modest contribution from capital gains (18.34% combined short and long-term) reflects portfolio appreciation, possibly due to challenging market conditions in Mexican equities.

The distribution breakdown provides transparency but also signals potential sustainability concerns. Investors should monitor the return of capital component in future distributions, as consistently high levels could impact the fund's long-term asset base.

COLUMBIA, Md., Jan. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Mexico Fund, Inc. (NYSE: MXF) announced that it will pay today a distribution of $0.22 per share in cash to stockholders of record as of January 22, 2025, according to the Fund´s Managed Distribution Plan (MDP).

As a general matter, the amount of distributable income for each fiscal period depends on the aggregate gains and losses realized by the Fund during the entire year. Distributions may consist of net investment income, capital gains and return of capital, but the character of these distributions cannot be determined until after the end of the Fund's fiscal year. 

However, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Fund is required to indicate the source of each distribution to stockholders. The following table sets forth an estimate of the sources of the January 30, 2025, distribution and distributions paid in the current fiscal year:
