Predex Fund (PRDEX) operates as a continuously offered, non-diversified, closed-end interval fund that seeks consistent current income primarily, with secondary long-term capital appreciation, moderate volatility, and low correlation to broader markets through investments in real estate-focused underlying vehicles; it invests principally in privately offered, non-traded, perpetual-life institutional private real estate funds (Institutional Private Funds) that allocate at least 80% of gross assets to private equity direct real estate in U.S. markets, with properties at least 75% leased and leverage limited to 55% or less, alongside publicly offered real estate funds (Public Funds) including exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, mutual funds, and non-traded funds offering daily or monthly liquidity that invest primarily in real estate and real estate-related securities such as equity REITs; under normal circumstances, at least 75% of its assets are committed to real estate industry funds, with cash held temporarily in short-term liquid investments like money market mutual funds or T-Bills between quarterly investment windows of Institutional Private Funds.
Headquartered in Elkhorn, Nebraska with administrative services through Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC, and investment advisory from Union Square Capital Partners, LLC (USCP) based in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania since acquiring management in August 2022 when assets under management stood at approximately $163 million, the Fund concentrates on institutional-quality private real estate targeting stabilized U.S. properties across sectors including office, retail, multifamily, and industrial, while providing limited liquidity via quarterly repurchase offers of at least 5% of outstanding shares at net asset value without secondary market trading.
