PRINCIPAL REAL ESTATE INCOME FUND CONTINUES SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM
Rhea-AI Summary
The Principal Real Estate Income Fund has announced the renewal of its share repurchase program, allowing the Fund to purchase up to 2.1% of its outstanding common shares from January 21, 2025, to January 21, 2026. The program, implemented under ALPS Advisors' direction, aims to enhance shareholder value and potentially reduce the discount between market price and net asset value (NAV). The Board believes this initiative will benefit remaining shareholders by increasing NAV through discounted share acquisitions while potentially improving share trading liquidity.
The program will be executed on a discretionary basis, with no guarantee of specific discount levels, purchase amounts, or market price increases. The Fund emphasizes this is designed as a long-term investment vehicle, subject to various risks including those related to commercial real estate assets and below-investment grade investments.

AI-generated analysis. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.
The Board and the Advisor continually analyze options to enhance shareholder value and potentially reduce the discount between the market price of the Fund's common share and the net asset value per share ("NAV"). The Board and the Advisor believe that the share repurchase program may further these goals because the program allows the Fund to acquire its shares in the open market at a discount to NAV, which will increase the NAV and thereby benefit remaining shareholders while potentially providing additional liquidity in the trading of the fund shares. The Board will monitor the repurchase program and will continue to consider strategic options to enhance shareholder value in the long-term.
The Fund's repurchase program will be implemented on a discretionary basis under the direction of the Advisor. There is no assurance that the Fund will purchase shares at any specific discount level or in any specific amount or that the market price of the Fund's shares will increase as a result of any share repurchases.
RISKS
An investment in the Fund is not appropriate for all investors and is not intended to be a complete investment program. The Fund is designed as a long-term investment and not as a trading vehicle.
Investing in the Fund involves risks, including the risk that you may receive little or no return on your investment or that you may lose part or even all of your investment and exposure to below-investment grade investments (i.e., "junk bonds"). The Fund's net asset value will vary and its distribution rate may vary and both may be affected by numerous factors, including changes in the market spread over a specified benchmark, market interest rates and performance of the broader equity markets. Fluctuations in net asset value may be magnified as a result of the Fund's use of leverage. Therefore, before investing you should carefully consider the risks that you assume when you invest in the Fund's common shares.
Securities backed by commercial real estate assets are subject to market risks similar to those of direct ownership of commercial real estate assets including, but not limited to, declines in the value of real estate, declines in rental or occupancy rates and risks related to general and local economic conditions.
The Fund's investment objectives and policies are not designed to seek to return the initial investment to investors that purchase shares.
