The Mexico Fund stock (ISIN US5928351023) was trading at USD 20.09 on the NYSE on October 5, 2026, at 11:53 a.m. ET, up 0.80 percent from the prior close. The price stood 12.65 percent below its 52-week high of USD 23.00, giving the fund a market capitalization of USD 289.7 million.
Distribution sets the near term
The most immediate company event is a USD 0.35 per share cash distribution. According to PR Newswire on September 8, 2026, the payment is scheduled for October 29, 2026, for stockholders of record on October 21, 2026.
The same release put the distribution at USD 1.40 per share on a fiscal-year-to-date basis through August 31, 2026. The payment therefore represents 25 percent of that cumulative fiscal-year distribution amount, although the fund cautioned that distribution sources can include investment income, capital gains and return of capital.
Lower costs support fund structure
The Mexico Fund also renewed its Expense Limitation Agreement for fiscal year 2027. PR Newswire reported that the ordinary expense ratio will be capped at 1.35 percent from November 1, 2026 through October 31, 2027, down from 1.40 percent, provided net assets remain above USD 320 million.
The fund's current fiscal-year cumulative NAV total return was 16.85 percent through August 31, 2026, while its five-year average annual total return was 12.65 percent, according to the September 8 release. Those figures measure NAV performance and do not directly describe the market price of the NYSE-listed shares.
Stock remains below yearly high
At USD 20.09, the share price was within the October 5 intraday range of USD 19.99 to USD 20.14. The 52-week range of USD 18.30 to USD 23.00 leaves the stock USD 1.70 above its yearly low and USD 2.91 below its yearly high.
The Mexico Fund is a non-diversified closed-end investment company focused primarily on securities of Mexican companies. Its combination of country-specific equity exposure, recurring distributions and a lower stated expense cap gives the upcoming October payment and the November 1 fee change clear importance for the fund's next phase.
