Many thanks.

AllegroTrans
: Those are possible meanings of the verb but what's needed here is a translation in the context

: I agree with AllegroTrans. To get a better idea of contextual meanings of words, check out linguee.es. The translation should sound natural and make use of industry-standard terms and expressions.

to collect [something from somebody]
To address the original question about "cobrar a", it can mean "to charge [somebody]" or "to collect [something from somebody]".
See the below example from a European Parliament debate:
"(NL) Señor Presidente, Suiza intenta desviar de las rutas alpinas el tráfico pesado que transita por el país y cobrar a los vehículos que logran pasar para invertir la recaudación en la mejora de la red ferroviaria."
"(NL) Mr President, Switzerland is trying to keep the heavy goods vehicles that pass through the country off the routes through the Alps, and to make those vehicles which do manage to pass through pay for rail improvements."
https://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?pubRef=-//EP/...
https://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?pubRef=-//EP/...
The context will determine how to structure the sentence.
A full translation of that particular line would be as follows:
Dividends receivable from management entities
