MedicX Fund: A Year Of Solid Progress

 | Dec 15, 2016 05:39AM ET

Mexico Closed Fund (NYSE:MXF) FY16 results show progress on several key measures including adjusted EPS, EPRA NAV, DPS and dividend cover: EPRA NAV total return for the year was 11.8%. The portfolio was expanded while the cost of debt remained unchanged and its maturity is still closely matched to unexpired lease lengths. A change of the advisory agreement will reduce future incremental fees and the board is examining the benefits of converting the fund to a REIT. We have slightly adjusted our FY17 estimates to take account of better-than-expected performance in FY16 and expected future yield compression, and extended these into FY18.
