I noticed that the NAV of a certain investment fund decreased after the dividend was paid out. I'm wondering why this happens and what are the reasons behind this drop in NAV following a dividend distribution.

This practice leads to a decrease in the net asset value (NAV) of the dividend scheme.

The NAV reduction corresponds to the amount of dividends distributed to investors.

Instead of increasing the value of the investment, dividends are paid out to investors from their capital.
