Q: Mawer Global Fund has just experienced a down year and I assume they are experiencing significant redemptions. December 2024 they paid a dividend of 20 cents per share. December 2025 they paid a dividend of $2.30 per share.
Is the large dividend simply an enticement to keep people invested? Why would they paid such a large dividend when they just experienced a year of less than stellar results?
Thank you
Paul

No; fund dividends are a direct reflection of fund activity, and managers do not get much...
