The Fund primarily invests in securities collateralized by loans secured by real properties, other real estate-related debt securities, high-quality short-term securities, U.S. Treasury securities, and cash equivalents; its portfolio strategy emphasizes income generation through real estate-backed debt instruments while transitioning to liquid assets in preparation for liquidation.

In a major strategic shift announced in late 2024, the Fund deviated from its core real estate debt focus to hold approximately 100% in cash equivalents and short-term securities to facilitate an orderly wind-down.

(NYSE: IVZ), completed the Fund's termination and liquidation on December 2, 2024, distributing a final net asset value of $7.57 per common share plus an additional $0.1471 per share, falling short of the original $9.835 NAV target due to market conditions.
