CBRE Global Real Estate Income Fund
The fund operates under the umbrella of CBRE Investment Management, a division of CBRE Group — the world's largest commercial real estate services firm. CBRE Investment Management oversees global real assets mandates across private equity, credit, and listed securities. The Global Real Estate Income Fund functions as a continuously offered, closed-end interval fund, providing retail and institutional investors access to institutional-quality assets that are typically illiquid. Its strategy draws on CBRE's global property-level data, operator relationships, and credit underwriting capabilities to source investment opportunities across North America, Europe, and Asia. Strategy and deployment targets a blend of core private real estate equity, commercial mortgage-backed securities, real estate investment trusts, and floating-rate real estate loans. The fund's portfolio is constructed to generate durable cash flow through long-term lease structures with creditworthy tenants in sectors including industrial logistics, multifamily housing, data centers, and healthcare real estate. Geographic exposure spans at least three continents, with allocations weighted toward US gateway cities and major European logistics corridors. Public filings detail positions in individual properties alongside publicly traded CMBS and REIT names. The fund is distributed through financial intermediaries and wirehouses, with CBRE Investment Management performing the advisory and sub-advisory functions. Team resources include CBRE's global research network, proprietary underwriting systems, and an investment committee overseeing portfolio construction. Administrative functions, transfer agency, and custody are outsourced to third-party service providers typical of registered fund structures. Recent public filings detail quarterly distributions, net asset value calculations, and portfolio composition updates aligned with 1940 Act reporting requirements. The fund's structural differentiator lies in its use of the interval fund wrapper — a format that permits holdings in illiquid real assets while providing limited periodic liquidity to shareholders, generally through quarterly repurchase offers capped at a percentage of outstanding shares. This architecture allows individual investors to access a diversified real estate portfolio with daily pricing and 1099 tax reporting, bypassing the large minimums and capital-call structures of traditional closed-end real estate private equity.

Frequently asked questions
Who manages the CBRE Global Real Estate Income Fund?
The fund is managed by CBRE Investment Management, the real assets investment division of CBRE Group. Portfolio management responsibilities are executed by an investment committee drawing on CBRE's global research and real estate credit teams. Specific portfolio manager names are disclosed in the fund's regulatory filings.
What types of assets does the fund hold?
The fund invests in a blend of direct commercial real estate equity, real estate investment trusts, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and real estate-related loans. Sector allocations typically include industrial, multifamily, data center, healthcare, and office properties. The mandate targets income-producing assets with long-term lease structures.
How does the interval fund structure work?
As an interval fund, the vehicle offers limited periodic liquidity through quarterly repurchase offers, typically capped at 5% of outstanding shares. This structure allows the fund to hold illiquid real estate assets while providing shareholders with regular opportunities to sell shares at net asset value. Shares are priced daily but traded only through these scheduled repurchase windows.
What is the fund's distribution policy?
The fund targets regular quarterly distributions sourced from net investment income produced by the underlying portfolio. Distributions include income generated by direct property operations, REIT dividends, and interest payments from real estate debt instruments. Distribution rates are disclosed in quarterly filings and may include return of capital components depending on portfolio cash flow dynamics.
How does this fund differ from a private real estate fund?
Unlike traditional closed-end private real estate funds, this vehicle is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, provides 1099 tax reporting, has lower minimum investment thresholds, and offers limited quarterly liquidity. Traditional private funds typically lock up capital for 7–10 years with capital-call structures and K-1 reporting.
