The cash the fund uses to pay the dividend is considered an asset of the investment trust. Before it is paid out, that value is added to the value of the stocks/bonds held to calculate the NAV. Once the money is paid out, it is no longer counted as part of the investment trust, thus the NAV goes down by the amount of the dividend. Example. Mutual fund A has $100 worth of stock, $50 in cash and 100 shares outstanding. It's NAV is $1.50. It pays a total dividend of $50. So now the fund has $100 worth of stock, no cash, and 100 shares outstanding. It's NAV will be $1.00.

Because most stocks are sold in "blocks" of 100 shares (rarely more or fewer), a transaction of fewer than 100 shares is called an "odd lot". This can also be applied to trades that are not in strict multiples of 100 shares. The commission applied to such trades is often larger, or a greater percentage than for trades in 100 multiples.
