Bluerock Total Income+ Real Estate Fund has paid a third quarter distribution of $0.4199 per share, or 1.31% for the quarter, based on the share price of $31.99 (A-shares) for shareholders of record as of September 16, 2021. This distribution amount represents an annualized rate of 5.25%* based on the current share price, marking the Fund’s 35th consecutive quarterly distribution. Since inception in 2012, TIPRX has paid approximately $13 per share in total distributions to its shareholders. In addition to these quarterly distributions, TIPRX NAV has grown approximately 28% from $25 to nearly $32 per share (as of 9.16.2021) and has generated a 7.92% annualized return since inception. Due to this growth, shareholders who purchased at inception NAV of $25/share will receive a distribution amount at an annual rate of approximately 6.7% based on their investment amount.
“In the current era of continued low interest rates where investors are concerned about low yields and potential loss of principal from rising rates, TI+ has provided over its approximate 9-year history consistent, highly tax-efficient income, while substantially preserving net asset value during times of market distress. In addition to the consistent 5.25% distribution rate, the Fund has generated over 265 basis points of annual appreciation since inception, thus addressing common investor concerns and objectives of attractive income, tax efficiency, growth, an inflation hedge and lower volatility and drawdown,” said Jeffrey Schwaber, CEO of Bluerock Capital Markets. “Further, we are also proud to report that the Fund has generated an approximate 15% total return since late September 20201 (representing the Covid-led trough) supporting the Fund’s bullish institutional real estate forecast, particularly in our highest conviction and weighted sectors, namely industrial, multifamily and specialty sectors, including life sciences, which have experienced substantial year-over-year rent increases to provide both growth and a hedge against inflation,” added Schwaber.
Since inception, TI+ has delivered on its stated objectives, including current income and capital appreciation as well as low correlation and low volatility relative to the broader markets.
Net assets under management for TI+ are approximately $3.0 billion as of September 16, 2021. TI+ currently maintains positions in 25 private equity and 2 private debt real estate investments, with underlying assets valued at approximately $239 billion (holdings are subject to change at any time and should not be considered investment advice).2
