Principal Real Estate Income Fund

Principal Real Estate Income Fund is a closed-end investment fund focused on generating high current income, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective. The fund primarily allocates its portfolio to commercial real estate-related securities, notably emphasizing commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), which typically constitute between 40% and 70% of its total assets. Additionally, it invests 30% to 60% in other real estate-related securities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs) and REIT-like entities, covering both U.S. and international markets. The fund actively manages a diversified portfolio to capitalize on income opportunities from commercial property financing and global property markets. Its strategy leverages fundamental analysis and proprietary research to identify securities believed to offer attractive risk-adjusted yields. Principal Real Estate Income Fund plays a significant role for investors seeking exposure to returns from the commercial real estate sector, serving as a bridge between fixed income and real assets within diversified portfolios. The fund’s structure as a closed-end vehicle may also introduce market-driven price dynamics, reflecting investor sentiment and broader trends within the real estate asset class.
