New York, NY (September 28, 2017) – Bluerock’s Total Income+ Real Estate Fund (“Fund” or “TI+,” tickers: TIPRX, TIPPX, TIPWX, TIPLX) has paid a third quarter distribution of $0.3882 per share, or 1.31% for the quarter, based on the share price of $29.58 for shareholders of record as of September 27, 2017 (A-shares). This distribution amount represents an annualized distribution rate of 5.25% based on the current share price.
“TI+ has demonstrated remarkable consistency for investors. This is the 16th consecutive distribution rate at a 5.25% annualized rate, and the fund continues to achieve these results with significantly less volatility than the leading stock, bond and REIT indexes.1” said Ramin Kamfar, Chief Executive Officer of Bluerock.
TI+ continues to deliver on its stated objectives, including current income, capital appreciation, low correlation and low volatility relative to the broader markets. Since its inception in 2012, TI+ has generated higher risk-adjusted returns than major stock, bond and public REIT indexes, while providing investors in the fund with access to institutional, private equity real estate previously unavailable to individual investors.
Net assets under management for TI+ are approximately $780 million. Recent TI+ investments include contributions to seven institutional, private equity investments, including: Morgan Stanley, Principal, Invesco, and UBS. TI+ currently maintains positions in 19 private equity real estate investments, with underlying assets valued at more than $144 billion (holdings are subject to change at any time and should not be considered investment advice).

Investing in the Total Income+ Real Estate Fund involves risks, including the loss of principal. The Fund intends to make investments in multiple real estate securities that may subject the Fund to additional fees and expenses, including management and performance fees, which could negatively affect returns and could expose the Fund to additional risk, including lack of control, as further described in the prospectus. The Fund’s distribution policy is to make quarterly distributions to shareholders. The level of quarterly distributions (including any return of capital) is not fixed and this distribution policy is subject to change. Shareholders should not assume that the source of a distribution from the Fund is net profit. A portion of the distributions consist of a return of capital based on the character of the distributions received from the underlying holdings, primarily Real Estate Investment Trusts. The final determination of the source and tax characteristics of all distributions will be made after the end of each year. Shareholders should note that return of capital will reduce the tax basis of their shares and potentially increase the taxable gain, if any, upon disposition of their shares. There is no assurance that the Company will continue to declare distributions or that they will continue at these rates. There can be no assurance that any investment will be effective in achieving the Fund’s investment objectives, delivering positive returns or avoiding losses.
Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Total Income+ Real Estate Fund.
