Which Mutual Funds Paid Out the Most (and Least) This Fiscal Year so Far?

Currently, there are 60 mutual funds in total operating within the Nepalese capital market, among which 46 are closed ended mutual fund schemes listed on the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) and 14 are open ended schemes traded directly through respective fund managers. A mutual fund is a professionally managed collective investment pool that aggregates capital from multiple investors to build a diversified portfolio across equities, fixed income instruments, and money market assets.

Out of these available schemes, only a few mutual fund have declared their dividends so far for F.Y. 2082/83 based on their accumulated earnings and reserves. Public retail investors increasingly view mutual funds as an attractive investment option because they offer access to expert portfolio management, built-in risk diversification, low minimum entry capital, and consistent cash dividend distributions, making equity market participation far safer and more accessible for non institutional traders.

Himalayan 80 - 20 (H8020) leads the dividend distributions with a 15% cash dividend, supported by a Shrawan Net Asset Value (NAV) of NPR 12.54 and a Last Traded Price (LTP) of NPR 11.62. This payout translates to a solid dividend yield relative to its market price, as the fund trades at a discount to its underlying NAV. Prabhu Smart Fund (PRSF) and Prabhu Select Fund (PSF) share the second spot, each declaring a 12% cash dividend and Global IME Balance Fund 1 also declares 12% cash dividend. PRSF maintains a NAV of NPR 13.93 against an LTP of NPR 12.70, while PSF records a NAV of NPR 13.09 with an LTP of NPR 12.00, both showcasing healthy retained earnings that back their double digit distribution rates.

At the lower end of the payout spectrum, Muktinath Mutual Fund 1 (MNF1) declared the lowest return at a 2.2% cash dividend, with its Shrawan NAV standing at NPR 10.43 and an LTP of NPR 9.11. Just above it, Kumari Sabal Yojana (KSY) announced a 2.9% dividend against a NAV of NPR 10.32 and an LTP of NPR 9.10. Completing the lowest trio, Nabil Balance Fund 3 declared a 2.5% cash dividend on a Shrawan NAV of NPR 10.25. Across the board, many of these schemes trade at a market discount compared to their reported NAVs, which enhances the effective dividend yield for secondary market investors relative to nominal par value distribution.
