The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Brookfield/Oaktree Real Estate Income Fund

We get a 1.25 management fee and performance fees on top. Trophy Class 1 properties only:


Thanks for posting. I looked it up and it's a closed end ETF with ticker symbol RA. Ouch! Price is down 20% today!

Distrib amount was cut from 0.199 to 0.118 monthly.

Before today's plunge, the distribution yield as 0.199*12/16.88 = 14.14%. I think this was a warning sign that it's unsustainable. Especially because only 38% of the distribution amount came from income, the other 62% was return of capital. It was also trading at a 15% premium to NAV, no idea why!

The distribution yield going forward is 0.118*12/13.43 = 10.54%, but even here only 32% is coming from income, the other 68% comping from return of capital. So the yield based on actual income is only 3.38%. Buyer beware with closed end ETFs. You have to pay attention to the actual earning power, not just the superficial distribution amount.

It's not accurate to say trophy class 1 properties only. This is not a fund that actually owns any properties. It's just an Oaktree bond fund which invests in Corporate and Securitized Credit.

Anyway, thanks again for posting. Please continue to post anything negative you can find about anything Brookfield related and I sincerely mean that.
