SAN MATEO, Calif., April 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Grubb & Ellis Alesco Global Advisors announced that Grubb & Ellis AGA Realty Income Fund (Nasdaq: GBEIX) paid a dividend of $0.144 on March 31, 2011 to shareholders of record as of March 30.
The Grubb & Ellis AGA Realty Income Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of real estate related securities. They are managed by an experienced portfolio team with public and private market real estate experience, as well as long-standing industry relationships.

"We are optimistic about the coming year for the real estate industry, particularly in sectors that, in our opinion, are tied to a slowly growing economy and population," said Jay Leupp, CEO and portfolio manager for the fund. "For instance, we are seeing a resurgent consumer, and anticipate that shares of mall companies will benefit as consumers return to shopping in regional malls this year. As well, in the apartment sector, after two years of falling rents and a flat 2010, we are seeing rents beginning to increase. We are positioning the portfolio to benefit from the potential we see in these and other sectors."

Important notes
Mutual fund investing involves risk, including the potential loss of principal.
Investors should be aware of the risks involved with investing in a fund concentrating in REITs and real estate securities, such as declines in the value of real estate and increased susceptibility to adverse economic or regulatory developments. Investments in asset backed and mortgage backed securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of, such as credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments. Investing in small and medium-sized companies involves greater risks than those associated with investing in large company stocks, such as business risk, significant stock price fluctuations and illiquidity. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against a loss in a declining market.
To determine if this fund is an appropriate investment for you, carefully consider the fund's investment objectives, risk factors, charges and expenses before investing. This and other information can be found in the fund's prospectus and/or summary prospectus, which may be obtained by visiting http://gbefunds.com or calling 877.404.7822. Read the prospectus and/or summary prospectus carefully before investing.
