NEW YORK, Dec. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Bluerock Total Income+ Real Estate Fund, a public, closed-end interval fund utilizing a multi-manager, multi-strategy, and multi-sector approach ("TI+", "Fund", tickers: TIPRX, TIPPX, TIPWX, TIPLX), reported a net asset value (NAV) per share of $29.50 as of November 30, 2020; an increase of approximately 2.1% since September 30, 2020.  Year-to-date, TI+ has generated net positive total returns to investors of 0.93% (A-shares, no load), as of November 30, 2020.  Since inception in October 2012, TIPRX has generated an annualized net return of 7.12%, and a total cumulative return of nearly 75%.

The Fund's NAV has increased from an introductory per share price of $25.00 to $29.50 per share as of November 30, 2020; an 18% increase.  Further, TI+ has paid 31 consecutive quarterly distributions totaling approximately $11.40 per share, the last 28 at an annual rate of 5.25%*, and is anticipating the ability to pay its upcoming Q4 quarterly distribution at the same distribution rate. 

"Despite the deepest quarterly GDP decline in U.S. history triggered by the onset of the COVID-19 global pandemic, the leading institutional private real estate index¹ and Bluerock Total Income+ Real Estate Fund have both posted positive total returns year-to-date 2020 which we believe is a testament to the underlying fundamentals of the asset class", reported Jeffrey Schwaber, CEO of Bluerock Capital Markets. "We believe TI+ Fund's strategic allocations into higher performing real estate sectors and investing with best-in-class institutional investment managers has allowed the Fund to limit drawdowns and generate positive total returns for our shareholders", added Schwaber.   

As of September 30, 2020, nearly 80% of the Fund's underlying portfolio² is comprised of 1) strategic sector overweights to the industrial, apartment and specialty sectors, which have generally fared better than retail, hotel, and office sectors in 2020 and in the trailing 5 years; and 2) significant investments in private institutional real estate debt providing attractive yields and priority within the real estate capital stack making it more defensive.

This and other important information about the Fund is contained in the prospectus, which can be obtained online at bluerockfunds.com.

Investing in the Bluerock 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. All or 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 Fund 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.

Limited liquidity is provided to shareholders only through the Fund's quarterly repurchase offers for no less than 5% of the Fund's shares outstanding at net asset value. There is no guarantee that shareholders will be able to sell all of the shares they desire in a quarterly repurchase offer. Quarterly repurchases by the Fund of its shares typically will be funded from available cash or sales of portfolio securities. The sale of securities to fund repurchases could reduce the market price of those securities, which in turn would reduce the Fund's net asset value.
