The Mexico Fund (ISIN US5928351023) stock gained 0.95 percent to USD 20.24 on the NYSE on October 6, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. ET. The move leaves the closed-end fund 12.0 percent below its 52-week high of USD 23.00, while its October distribution provides the next dated income checkpoint.

Distribution sets October checkpoint

According to PRNewswire on September 8, 2026, the board declared a USD 0.35 per share cash distribution for stockholders of record on October 21, 2026, payable October 29, 2026. The same announcement sets a 1.35 percent ordinary expense cap for fiscal 2027 beginning November 1, 2026, down from 1.40 percent, provided net assets remain above USD 320 million.

The distribution is part of the fund's Managed Distribution Plan, which can be amended or terminated by the board. The announced USD 0.35 payment equals USD 1.40 on an annualized basis, giving investors a concrete comparison between the quarterly cash amount and the full-year pace.

NAV discount frames the valuation

According to StockTitan in the August 31, 2026 monthly report, The Mexico Fund had USD 355.75 million in net assets and a NAV of USD 24.67 per share. The report placed the market price at USD 21.73 and the discount to NAV at 11.92 percent, illustrating how the traded price can diverge from the value of the portfolio.

The same August report showed a 26.96 percent one-year market-price return and a 24.73 percent one-year NAV return through August 31, 2026. Those figures put the fund's listed performance ahead of its underlying NAV over that period, although the report also identifies foreign-market, currency and discount risks.
