AN ESSENTIAL ASSET CLASSU.S. commercial real estate, valued at $10.7 trillion overall, is the third-largest asset class in the U.S. after fixed income and equities. From business to residential properties, it represents an enormous investment opportunity. 90% of all U.S. commercial real estate is privately held.

U.S. commercial real estate includes private and public equity investments. Estimates are based on a comparison to U.S. debt and U.S. equity. U.S. debt includes corporate securities, asset-backed securities, Treasury debt, Federal agency debt including mortgage-backed securities, money market funds, and municipal bonds. U.S. equity is the total market value of publicly traded domestic companies.

² The Fund employs leverage, which increases the volatility of investment returns and subjects the Fund to magnified losses if an underlying fund’s investments decline in value. The Fund may use derivatives, such as options and futures, which can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on Fund performance.³ Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against market loss. All investments involve risk, including loss of principal, and there is no guarantee that investment objectives will be met. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Stable Income1

Historically, private real estate has been a source of durable income, with cash flow driven by regular lease and rental payments.

Attractive property attributes:

• Well-maintained properties with modern functionality

• Producing income from rents with contractual increases

• Desirable locations

• Minimal vacancy 1 Source: Clarion Partners Investment Research, NCREIF, REIT.com, S&P, Bloomberg. As of September 30, 2019. Distributions may consist of a return of capital. For more detail see page 4.

Capital AppreciationPrivate real estate offers the potential for capital gains as properties increase in value over time.

Catalysts may include:

• Property improvements

• Capital restructuring, capital repositioning, or both

• Market rent growth

Diversification2,3

Private real estate is less influenced by movements of the stock and bond markets, and can provide diversification during periods of volatility.

Greater historical stability than stocks

Liquidity considerations

The Fund should be viewed as a long-term investment, as it is inherently illiquid and suitable only for investors who can bear the risks associated with the limited liquidity of the Fund. Limited liquidity is provided to shareholders only through the Fund’s quarterly repurchase offers for no more than 5% of the Fund’s shares outstanding at net asset value. There is no guarantee these repurchases will occur as scheduled, or at all. Shares will not be listed on a public exchange, and no secondary market is expected to develop.

Investment risks

The Fund is newly organized, with a limited history of operations. An investment in the Fund involves a considerable amount of risk. The Fund is designed primarily for long-term investors and an investment in the Fund should be considered illiquid. Shareholders may not be able to sell their shares in the Fund at all or at a favorable price. Fixed income securities involve interest rate, credit, inflation and reinvestment risks. As interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities fall. High-yield bonds possess greater price volatility, illiquidity and possibility of default. The Fund’s investments are highly concentrated in real estate investments, and therefore will be subject to the risks typically associated with real estate, including but not limited to local, state, national or international economic conditions; including market disruptions caused by regional concerns, political upheaval, sovereign debt crises and other factors. Asset-backed, mortgage-backed or mortgage-related securities are subject to prepayment and extension risks. The Fund employs leverage, which increases the volatility of investment returns and subjects the Fund to magnified losses if an underlying fund’s investments decline in value. The Fund may use derivatives, such as options and futures, which can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on Fund performance.
