- Brookfield Real Assets Income Fund Inc. (NYSE: RA) is a closed-end fund that seeks high total return, primarily through current income and secondarily through capital growth, by investing mainly in securities and instruments of real asset companies focused on real estate, infrastructure, and natural resources. The Fund allocates at least 80% of its managed assets to these areas, with a minimum of 65% in fixed-income securities, derivatives, and similar instruments of real asset issuers; its portfolio includes corporate credit in real estate (14%), infrastructure (40%), and natural resources (6%), securitized credit such as residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS, 22%) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS, 6%), as well as equities in real estate (1%) and infrastructure (7%), and cash equivalents (3%). Top holdings as of September 30, 2025, feature securities like Nomura Resecuritization Trust 2014-1R, DISH Network Corp., Plains All American Pipeline LP, and Enbridge Inc., among others, with investments spanning U.S. fixed-income markets and global real assets.
Formed on December 2, 2016, and headquartered at 225 Liberty Street, 35th Floor, New York, New York, the Fund is launched and managed by Brookfield Public Securities Group LLC (formerly Brookfield Investment Management Inc.), with co-management by Schroder Investment Management North America Inc. It primarily targets income-oriented investors seeking exposure to real assets, declaring and paying monthly distributions of $0.1180 per share since mid-2023 (reduced from $0.1990), with portions classified as return of capital; for example, the October 2025 distribution included $0.0651 qualified income and $0.0529 return of capital per share. The Fund operates without noted subsidiaries or parent entities beyond its Brookfield affiliation and maintains a U.S.-centric investment focus with global real asset exposure.
In recent developments, the Fund announced monthly distributions for July through September 2025 at $0.1180 per share on June 27, 2025, and held its 2025 annual stockholder meeting as detailed in SEC filings; distribution schedules for Q1 2025 were declared in December 2024, with tax characterizations to be finalized in early 2026. No major acquisitions, partnerships, new product launches, or strategic shifts have been reported in the last 1-2 years, though portfolio sector allocations reflect ongoing emphasis on infrastructure credit amid market conditions.
