The Mexico Fund, Inc. (ISIN US5928351023) is lowering its ordinary expense cap to 1.35 percent from 1.40 percent for fiscal year 2027, while Mexico Fund stock had a USD 290.3 million market value on October 5, 2026. The change and the fund's USD 0.35 per-share distribution were announced by PR Newswire on September 8, 2026.

What the fee cut means

The lower cap begins November 1, 2026 and runs through October 31, 2027, provided that the fund's net assets remain above USD 320.0 million. The 0.05 percentage-point reduction gives the closed-end fund a lower stated cost ceiling for its next fiscal year, although the agreement covers ordinary operating expenses rather than every fund cost.

If assets fall below the threshold, the advisor will maintain variable ordinary expenses at 1.18 percent and add USD 544,000 under the formula described in the release. The Mexico Fund invests primarily in equities listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange, giving the expense decision direct relevance to a vehicle designed for Mexico exposure.

Distribution dates are set

The board declared USD 0.35 per share for holders of record on October 21, 2026, with cash payment scheduled for October 29, 2026, according to PR Newswire. The same announcement said the Managed Distribution Plan had paid USD 29.03 per share cumulatively since September 2008.

The release reported a 5.11 percent annualized distribution rate for the current fiscal year and a 16.85 percent cumulative total return from November 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026. Those figures include distributions and show why the fund's payout schedule remains central to its investor profile, while the distribution amount itself does not establish future investment performance.

Market value stands at USD 290.3 million
