Laxmi Sunrise Capital Announces Book Closure Dates for Three Mutual Funds’ Dividend Distribution

12th August 2025, Kathmandu

In a move set to benefit thousands of investors, Laxmi Sunrise Capital Limited has officially declared the book closure date for the dividend distribution of three of its key mutual funds for the fiscal year 2081/82. This announcement, following a recent meeting of the Capital’s management committee, provides clarity for unit holders and underscores the funds’ strong performance over the past year.

Laxmi Sunrise Announces Book Closure

Laxmi Sunrise Capital has announced that the book closure date for dividend distribution for three of its mutual funds is August 19, 2025 (Bhadra 3, 2082). Unit holders registered on or before August 18, 2024 (Bhadra 2, 2082) will be eligible for the declared cash dividends. Any units purchased on or after the book closure date will not be eligible for this year’s distribution. This distinction is vital for investors who are considering buying or selling units around this time. The announcement provides a clear and timely window for investors to plan their actions and secure their potential returns. This includes payouts for Laxmi Unnati Kosh, Sunrise First Mutual Fund, and Sunrise Focused Equity Fund, with dividend rates of 20%, 14%, and 13.5% respectively.

Understanding the Importance of Book Closure

For investors in Nepal’s capital market, the book closure date is a non-negotiable deadline. It marks the specific day on which a company or, in this case, a mutual fund, finalizes its list of eligible shareholders or unit holders. Only those whose names are officially recorded in the registry by this date are entitled to receive the announced benefits, such as dividends.

Book Closure: The Key to Receiving Your Dividends

The book closure date is a critical deadline for investors, as it’s the cutoff point for determining who is eligible for a company’s or a mutual fund’s dividends. If you want to receive the declared dividend, your name must be recorded in the official register of unit holders by this date. For Laxmi Sunrise Capital’s three mutual funds, the book closure date is Bhadra 3, 2082. This means that investors must purchase units and have their ownership officially registered by the end of Bhadra 2, 2082. Any purchases made on or after the book closure date will not qualify for this fiscal year’s dividend distribution.

Dividend Details for Laxmi Sunrise Capital’s Mutual Funds

Laxmi Sunrise Capital is distributing cash dividends from the profits earned during the fiscal year 2081/82. The announced rates are:

• Laxmi Unnati Kosh: Will provide a 20% cash dividend (including tax).
• Sunrise First Mutual Fund: Will distribute a 14% cash dividend (including tax).
• Sunrise Focused Equity Fund: Will offer a 13.5% cash dividend (including tax).

These dividends offer investors an immediate return on their investment and are considered a key benefit of holding units in these funds. The dividends will be electronically credited to the bank accounts of all eligible unit holders after the necessary regulatory procedures are completed.

What Cash Dividends Mean for Investors

For investors, a cash dividend represents an immediate and liquid return on their investment. This income can be a valuable component of an investor’s financial strategy, providing them with the flexibility to:

• Reinvest: Use the cash to purchase more units of the same fund or other securities, leveraging the power of compounding.
• Income Generation: Utilize the dividend as a source of direct income, which is particularly attractive for retirees or individuals seeking passive cash flow.

The declared dividend rates of 20%, 14%, and 13.5% are noteworthy, especially in the context of Nepal’s evolving financial market. These returns are competitive and can significantly enhance the overall yield of a well-diversified investment portfolio. It is important to remember that mutual fund returns are not limited to dividends; they also include potential capital gains from an increase in the Net Asset Value (NAV) of the fund’s units.

Final Reminder for Investors

With the book closure date set for Bhadra 3, 2082, investors are reminded to ensure their transactions are completed in time. To be safe, it is best to make any unit purchases at least one business day before the book closure date to allow for the settlement process. This announcement completes the dividend declarations for all of Laxmi Sunrise Capital’s actively managed mutual funds for the current fiscal year, following earlier announcements for Laxmi Value Fund–2 and Sunrise Bluechip Fund.
