Notes to Financial Statements

September 30, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

 

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION

Versus Capital Multi-Manager Real Estate Income Fund LLC (the “Fund”) is a Delaware limited liability company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that is operated as an interval fund. The Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek consistent current income, while its secondary objectives are capital preservation and long-term capital appreciation. The Fund attempts to achieve these objectives by allocating its capital among a select group of institutional asset managers (the “Investment Managers”) with expertise in managing portfolios of real estate and real estate-related investments. The Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares of beneficial interest without par value and has registered an aggregate offering amount of $5.5 billion. The Fund’s investment adviser is Versus Capital Advisors LLC (the ‘‘Adviser’’).

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Fund is an investment company that follows the accounting and reporting guidance of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 applicable to investment companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

Investment Income and Securities Transactions - Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Dividend income is recorded net of applicable withholding taxes. Interest income is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted on an effective yield method on fixed income securities. Dividend income from REIT investments is recorded using management’s estimate of the percentage of income included in distributions received from such investments based on historical information and other industry sources. The return of capital portion of the estimate is a reduction to investment income and a reduction in the cost basis of each investment which increases net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). If the return of capital distributions exceed its cost basis, the distributions are treated as realized gains. The actual amounts of income, return of capital, and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after its fiscal year-end, and may differ from the estimated amounts. The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and reclaims as applicable, based upon their current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which the Fund invests. Securities are accounted for on a trade date basis. The cost of securities sold is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method.

Foreign Currency - Foreign currencies, investments and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at 4:00 p.m. U.S. ET (Eastern Time). Fluctuations in the value of the foreign currencies and other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses). Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, and are included with the net realized and net change in unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Fund will make regular quarterly distributions to shareholders of all or a portion of any dividends or investment income it earns on investments. In addition, the Fund will make regular distributions to the shareholders of all or a portion of capital gains distributed to the Fund by Investment Funds and capital gains earned by the Fund from the disposition of Investment Funds or other investments, together with any dividends or interest income earned from such investments. A portion of any distribution may be a return of capital or from other capital sources. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Information - The Fund intends to qualify each year as a “regulated investment company” under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. By so qualifying, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of its net investment income and any realized capital gains. This policy may cause multiple distributions during the course of the year, which are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

As of and during the six months ended September 30, 2021, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax obligations. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax obligations as income tax expense in the statement of operations. During the period, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal.

Dividends from net investment income and distributions from realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the character of distributions and composition of net assets for tax purposes may differ from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements. To the extent these differences are permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts at fiscal year end based on the tax treatment; temporary differences do not require such reclassification.

For the year ended March 31, 2021, tax character of the distribution paid by the Fund was approximately $22,759,000 of ordinary income dividends, approximately $65,190,000 of long-term capital gains and approximately $20,449,000 of return of capital. For the year ended March 31, 2020, tax character of the distribution paid by the Fund were approximately $47,288,000 of ordinary income dividends, approximately $26,990,000 of long-term capital gains and approximately $48,456,000 of return of capital. Distribution from net investment income and short-term capital gains are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

Net capital losses incurred may be carried forward for an unlimited time period, and retain their tax character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. As of March 31, 2021, the Fund had no capital loss carryovers available to offset future capital gains.

VERSUS CAPITAL MULTI-MANAGER REAL ESTATE INCOME FUND LLC

Notes to Financial Statements

September 30, 2021 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

 

Under federal tax law, capital and qualified ordinary losses realized after October 31 and December 31, respectively, may be deferred and treated as having arisen on the first day of the following fiscal year. For the year ended March 31, 2021, the Fund did not have any qualified late year losses.

As of September 30, 2021, the gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation and net unrealized appreciation on a tax basis were approximately $259,873,000, $(17,880,000) and $241,993,000, respectively. The aggregate cost of securities for federal income tax purposes at September 30, 2021, was approximately $2,486,204,000.

Guarantees and Indemnifications - In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown and this would involve future claims against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Based on experience, the Fund would expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities) at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 3. SECURITIES VALUATION

Consistent with Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, the Fund prices its securities as follows:

Publicly Traded Securities - Investments in securities that are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) are valued, except as indicated below, at the official closing price reflected at the close of the NYSE on the business day as of which such value is being determined. If there has been no published closing price on such day, the securities are valued at the mean of the closing bid and ask prices for the day or, if no ask price is available, at the bid price. Securities not listed on the NYSE but listed on other domestic or foreign securities exchanges are valued in a similar manner. Securities traded on more than one securities exchange are valued at the closing price of the exchange representing the principal market for such securities on the business day as of which such value is being determined. If, after the close of a domestic or foreign market, but prior to the close of business on the day the securities are being valued, market conditions change significantly, the domestic or foreign securities may be valued pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Directors (the “Board”).

Securities traded in the over-the-counter market, such as fixed-income securities and certain equities, including listed securities whose primary market is believed by the Advisor to be over-the-counter, are valued at the official closing prices as reported by sources as the Board deems appropriate to reflect their fair market value. If there has been no official closing price on such day, the securities are valued at the mean of the closing bid and ask prices for the day or, if no ask price is available, at the bid price. Fixed-income securities typically will be valued on the basis of prices provided by a pricing service, generally an evaluated price or the mean of closing bid and ask prices obtained by the pricing service, when such prices are believed by the Adviser to reflect the fair market value of such securities. Furthermore, the Fund’s Adviser will review the valuation methodology of any pricing service used in the Fund’s investment valuation process, subject to oversight and/or approval of the Board.

Short-term debt securities, which have a maturity date of 60 days or less, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at their closing NAV.

Securities for which market prices are unavailable, or securities for which the Adviser determines that the market quotation is unreliable, will be valued at fair value pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. In these circumstances, the Adviser determines fair value in a manner that fairly reflects the market value of the security on the valuation date based on consideration of any information or factors it deems appropriate. These may include recent transactions in comparable securities, information relating to the specific security and developments in the markets. The Fund’s use of fair value pricing may cause the NAV of the Shares to differ from the NAV that would be calculated using market quotations. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may be materially different than the value that could be realized upon the sale of such security.

Private Investment Funds - The Board has adopted procedures pursuant to which the Fund will value its investments in Private Investment Funds. Before investing in any Private Investment Fund, the Adviser will conduct a due diligence review of the valuation methodology utilized by such Private Investment Fund, which as a general matter will employ market values when available, and otherwise look at principles of fair value that the Adviser reasonably believes to be consistent with (but not necessarily the same as) those used by the Fund for valuing its own investments. The Adviser shall use its best efforts to ensure that each private Investment Fund has in place policies and procedures that are consistent with the practices provided for in the Real Estate Information Standards (‘‘REIS’’), as established and amended by the National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries (‘‘NCREIF’’) in conjunction with the Pension Real Estate Association (‘‘PREA’’), or comparable standards which may apply. REIS provides underlying principles behind the disclosure of reliable information with adequate policies and practices that include, but are not limited to the following:

 

 

Property valuation standards and policy that are expected to be applied consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) fair value principles and uniform appraisal standards or such comparable standards as may apply to international managers. Real estate investments are required to be valued, (a) internally (by the Private Investment Fund’s manager) with third party (preferably an accounting or valuation firm) oversight to assure the reasonableness of and compliance with valuation policies, at least quarterly and (b) externally by an appraiser or other third party preferably once annually, but at least once every 36 months. Furthermore, the valuations should be performed with impartiality, objectivity and independence,

and with control to demonstrate they have been completed fairly. This includes the maintenance of records of methods and techniques for valuation with sufficient documentation to understand the scope of work completed.

 

 

Market Value Accounting and Reporting Standards including the production of quarterly financial statements and annual audited financials. This also incorporates quarterly performance measurement and reporting standards for every asset held by the Private Investment Fund. After investing in a Private Investment Fund, the Adviser will monitor the valuation methodology used by such Private Investment Fund and its manager.

The Fund values its investments in Private Investment Funds based in large part on valuations provided by the managers of the Private Investment Funds and their agents. These fair value calculations will involve significant professional judgment by the managers of the Private Investment Funds in the application of both observable and unobservable attributes. The calculated NAVs of the Private Investment Funds’ assets may differ from their actual realizable value or future fair value. Valuations will be provided to the Fund based on the interim unaudited financial records of the Private Investment Funds and, therefore, will be estimates subject to adjustment (upward or downward) upon the auditing of such financial records and may fluctuate as a result. The Board and the Adviser may not have the ability to assess the accuracy of these valuations. Because a significant portion of the Fund’s assets are invested in Investment Funds, these valuations have a considerable impact on the Fund’s NAV.

For each quarterly period that the NAVs of the Private Investment Funds are calculated by the managers of such funds, each Private Investment Fund’s NAV is typically adjusted based on the actual income and appreciation or depreciation realized by such Private Investment Fund when the quarterly valuations and income are reported. The Adviser will review this information for reasonableness based on its knowledge of current market conditions and the individual characteristics of each Investment Fund and may clarify or validate the reported information with the applicable manager of the Private Investment Fund. The Adviser may conclude, in certain circumstances, that the information provided by any such manager does not represent the fair value of the Fund’s investment in a Private Investment Fund and is not indicative of what actual fair value would be under current market conditions. In those circumstances, the Adviser’s Valuation Committee may determine to value the Fund’s investment in the Private Investment Fund at a discount or a premium to the reported value received from the Private Investment Fund. Any such decision will be made in good faith by the Adviser’s Valuation Committee, subject to the review and ratification of the Board’s Valuation Committee. The Fund’s valuation of each Private Investment Fund is individually updated as soon as the Adviser completes its reasonableness review, including any related necessary additional information validations with the manager of the Private Investment Fund, and typically within 45 calendar days after the end of each quarter for all Private Investment Funds. Additionally, between the quarterly valuation periods, the NAVs of such Private Investment Funds are adjusted daily based on the total return that each private Investment Fund is estimated by the Adviser to generate during the current quarter. The Adviser’s Valuation Committee monitors these estimates regularly and updates them as necessary if macro or individual fund changes warrant any adjustments, subject to the review and supervision of the Board’s Valuation Committee. The September 30, 2021 Portfolio of Investments presented herein reports the value of all the Fund’s investments in Private Investment Funds at the respective NAVs provided by the managers of the Private Investment Funds and their agents, which may differ from the valuations used by the Fund in its September 30, 2021 NAV calculation.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have readily available market quotations, the fair value of the Fund’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values the Fund may ultimately realize. Further, such investments may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or may otherwise be less liquid than publicly traded securities.

Fair Value Measurements: The inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:

 

•  Level 1

 

 

unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

•  Level 2

 

 

prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

•  Level 3

 

 

significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

At the end of each calendar quarter, management evaluates the classification of Levels 1, 2 and 3 assets and liabilities. Various factors are considered, such as changes in liquidity from the prior reporting period; whether or not a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price; the depth and consistency of prices from third party pricing services; the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market; and changes in listings or delistings on national exchanges. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. A summary of inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of September 30, 2021 is as follows:

Private Investment Funds that are fair valued at a value other than as reported by the Private Investment Fund are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Such investments will generally be fair valued via an internally developed model that may include estimates of income, expenses, realized or unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments to be recognized by the Private Investment Fund, or other relevant inputs. Significant changes in such estimates could have material impacts to the resulting fair valuation of the investment. The following table summarizes the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used for the Fund’s investments that are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at September 30, 2021:

NOTE 4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement, Versus Capital Advisors LLC serves as the investment adviser to the Fund. For its services under this agreement, the Fund pays the Adviser an Investment Management Fee at an annual rate of 0.95% of the Fund’s NAV, which accrues daily based on the net assets of the Fund and is paid quarterly. The Fund incurred fees to the Adviser of approximately $12,253,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2021, which are included within Adviser fees on the accompanying statement of operations.

The Adviser has retained the services of Security Capital Research & Management, Inc. and Principal Real Estate Investors, LLC as sub-advisers of the Fund (the “Sub-Advisers”). The Sub-Advisers each manage a specified portion of the Fund’s assets to be invested in domestic and international publicly traded real estate securities, such as common and preferred stock of publicly listed REITs, commercial mortgage-backed securities, commercial real estate collateralized debt obligations, and senior unsecured debt of REITs. Fees paid to the Sub-Advisers are based on the average net assets that they manage at an annual rate between 0.45% and 1.00%. The Fund incurred fees to the Sub-Advisers of approximately $2,015,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2021, which are included within Adviser fees on the accompanying statement of operations.

Foreside Funds Distributors LLC, (the “Distributor”) serves as the Fund’s statutory underwriter and facilitates the distribution of Shares.

The Fund pays each Independent Director a fee per annum. In addition, the Fund reimburses each of the Independent Directors for travel and other expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings; provided, however, that if more than three board meetings require out-of-town travel time, such additional travel time may be billed at the rate set forth in the Board of Directors Retainer Agreement or as amended by action of the Board from time to time. Each of the Independent Directors is a member of all Committees. The Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional fee

per annum. Other members of the Board and executive officers of the Fund receive no compensation. The Fund also reimburses the Adviser for a portion of the compensation that it pays to the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer.

NOTE 5. MARKET RISK FACTORS

The Fund’s investments in securities and/or financial instruments may expose the Fund to various market risk factors including, but not limited to the following:

General Market Fluctuations Will Affect the Fund’s Returns. The Fund’s investments in Private Investment Funds and real estate securities may be negatively affected by the broad investment environment in the real estate market, the debt market and/or the equity securities market.

General Risks of the Private Investment Funds Investing in Real Estate. The Fund will not invest in real estate directly, but, because the Fund will invest in Private Investment Funds that qualify as REITs or investment vehicles treated similarly as private REITs, the Fund’s investment portfolio will be significantly impacted by the performance of the real estate market.

Risks of Investing in Equity Securities. The prices of equity and preferred securities fluctuate based on changes in a company’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. Preferred securities may be subject to additional risks, such as risks of deferred distributions, liquidity risks, and differences in shareholder rights associated with such securities.

Unfunded Commitments. In order to meet its obligation to provide capital for unfunded commitments, the Fund may have to hold some, or in certain cases a substantial amount, of its assets temporarily in money market securities, cash or cash equivalents, possibly for several months; liquidate portfolio securities at an inopportune time; or borrow under a line of credit. This could make it difficult or impossible to take or liquidate a position in a particular security at a price consistent with the Adviser’s strategy.

Risks Relating to Current Interest Rate Environment. A wide variety of factors can cause interest rates or yields of U.S. Treasury securities (or yields of other types of bonds) to rise (e.g., central bank monetary policies, inflation rates, general economic conditions, reduced market demand for low yielding investments, etc.). This is especially true under current conditions because interest rates and bond yields are near historically low levels. Thus, the Fund currently faces a heightened level of risk associated with rising interest rates and/or bond yields.

Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk. The Fund may be adversely affected by uncertainties such as terrorism, international political developments, tariffs and trade wars, and changes in government policies, taxation, restrictions on foreign investment and currency repatriation, currency fluctuations and other developments in the laws and regulations of the countries in which it is invested. Likewise, natural and environmental disasters, epidemics or pandemics, and systemic market dislocations may be highly disruptive to economies and markets. For example, an outbreak of a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus (known as COVID-19) first detected in China in December 2019 has resulted in travel restrictions and disruptions, closed borders, enhanced health screenings at ports of entry and elsewhere, disruption of and delays in healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, event cancellations and restrictions, service cancellations or reductions, disruptions to business operations, supply chains and customer activity, lower consumer demand for goods and services, as well as general concern and uncertainty that has negatively affected the economic environment. The impact of this outbreak has caused significant market volatility and declines in global financial markets and may continue to adversely affect global and national economies, the financial performance of individual issuers, borrowers and sectors, and the health of capital markets and other markets generally in potentially significant and unforeseen ways. This crisis or other public health crises may also exacerbate other pre-existing political, social, and economic risks in certain countries or globally. The duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and its effects cannot be determined with certainty. The COVID-19 pandemic and its effects could lead to a significant economic downturn or recession, increased market volatility, a greater number of market closures, higher default rates, and adverse effects on the values and liquidity of securities or other assets. The foregoing could impair the Fund’s ability to maintain operational standards, disrupt the operations of the Fund and its service providers, adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments, and negatively impact the Fund’s performance and your investment in the Fund. Other epidemics or pandemics that arise in the future may have similar impacts.

NOTE 6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

For the six months ended September 30, 2021, the purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments and U.S. Government securities were approximately $644,648,000 and $579,645,000, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2021, the purchases and sales of U.S. Government securities were approximately $847,000 and $0, respectively.

NOTE 7. REPURCHASE OFFERS

The Fund has a fundamental policy that it will make quarterly Repurchase Offers for no less than 5% of its shares outstanding at NAV, unless suspended or postponed in accordance with regulatory requirements (as discussed below), and that each quarterly repurchase pricing shall occur no later than the 14th day after the Repurchase Request Deadline (defined below), or the next Business Day if the 14th is not a Business Day (each a “Repurchase Pricing Date”). In general, the Repurchase Pricing Date occurs on the Repurchase Request Deadline and settlement occurs 3 days later. Shares will be repurchased at the NAV per Share determined as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on the Repurchase Pricing Date.

Shareholders will be notified in writing about each quarterly Repurchase Offer, how they may request that the Fund repurchase their shares and the Repurchase Request Deadline, which is the date the Repurchase Offer ends. The Repurchase Request Deadline will be determined by the Board. The time

VERSUS CAPITAL MULTI-MANAGER REAL ESTATE INCOME FUND LLC

Notes to Financial Statements

September 30, 2021 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

 

between the notification to shareholders and the Repurchase Request Deadline may vary from no more than 42 days to no less than 21 days. The repurchase price of the shares will be the NAV as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on the Repurchase Pricing Date. Payment pursuant to the repurchase will be made to the shareholders within seven days of the Repurchase Pricing Date (the “Repurchase Payment Deadline”). Certain authorized institutions, including custodians and clearing platforms, may set times prior to the Repurchase Request Deadline by which they must receive all documentation they may require relating to repurchase requests and may require additional information. In addition, certain clearing houses may allow / require shareholders to submit their tender request only on the Repurchase Request Deadline.

Shares tendered for repurchase by shareholders prior to any Repurchase Request Deadline will be repurchased subject to the aggregate repurchase amounts established for that Repurchase Request Deadline. Repurchase proceeds will be paid to shareholders prior to the Repurchase Payment Deadline.

The Board, or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, will determine the number of shares that the Fund will offer to repurchase (the “Repurchase Offer Amount”) for a given Repurchase Request Deadline. The Repurchase Offer Amount, however, will be no less than 5% of the total number of shares outstanding on the Repurchase Request Deadline.

If Share repurchase requests exceed the number of Shares in the Fund’s Repurchase Offer, the Fund may, in its sole discretion (i) repurchase the tendered Shares on a pro rata basis or (ii) increase the number of Shares to be repurchased by up to 2% of the Fund’s outstanding Shares. If Share repurchase requests exceed the number of Shares in the Fund’s Repurchase Offer plus 2% of the Fund’s outstanding Shares, the Fund is required to repurchase the Shares on a pro rata basis. However, the Fund may accept all shares tendered for repurchase by shareholders who own less than one hundred shares and who tender all of their Shares before prorating other amounts tendered. Because of the potential for proration, tendering shareholders may not have all of their tendered Shares repurchased by the Fund.

Results of the Fund’s Repurchase Offers during the six months ended September 30, 2021 are as follows:

NOTE 8. LINE OF CREDIT

Effective April 15, 2021, the Fund renewed its $150,000,000 line of credit (“LOC”) with Zions Bancorporation N.A. dba Vectra Bank Colorado (“Vectra”). Borrowings, if any, under the LOC bear interest at the one month LIBOR/Rate plus 1.50% at the time of borrowing with a minimum interest rate of 2.50%. The Fund incurred interest expense of approximately $21,000 during the six months ended September 30, 2021. In addition, the Fund incurs a Non-Utilization Fee equal to 0.375% on the portion of the LOC not being used and certain origination and structuring fees (the “other LOC fees”). The Fund incurred other LOC fees equal to approximately $458,000 during the six months ended September 30, 2021. As collateral for the lines of credit, the Fund would grant Vectra a first position security interest in and lien on securities held by the Fund in a collateral account. The Fund’s outstanding borrowings from the LOC were $0 at September 30, 2021 and the Fund complied with all covenants of the LOC during the six months ended September 30, 2021.

NOTE 9. RESTRICTED SECURITIES

Restricted securities include securities that have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and securities that are subject to restrictions on resale. The Fund may invest in restricted securities that are consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and investment strategies. Investments in restricted securities are valued at net asset value as practical expedient for fair value, or fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. It is possible that the estimated value may differ significantly from the amount that might ultimately be realized in the near term, and the difference could be material. Each of the following securities can suspend redemptions if its respective Board deemsit in the best interest of its shareholders. This and other important information are described in the Fund’s Prospectus.

NOTE 10. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (the “ASU”), which provides optional, temporary relief with respect to the financial reporting of contracts subject to certain types of modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. The guidance is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Adviser is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the ASU on the Fund’s financial statements.

In April 2020, the SEC issued a final rule entitled “Securities Offering Reform for Closed-End Investment Companies” (the “Release”) containing amended rules and forms intended to streamline the registration, communications and offering practices for business development companies and registered closed-end investment companies (“registered CEFs”), including interval funds and tender offer funds. Among its provisions, the Release amends Form N-2 to extend a Management Discussion of Fund Performance disclosure requirement to the annual reports of all registered CEFs and also mandates the inclusion of a Fee and Expense Table, Share Price Data information and a Senior Securities Table, all of which are currently contained in a registered CEF’s prospectus, in its annual report. The Release’s rule and form amendments became effective August 1, 2020, with the new annual report requirements effective in August 2021. The Adviser is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the Release on the Fund’s fiscal 2022 annual report.

In December 2020, the SEC adopted a final rule (Rule 2a-5) under the 1940 Act addressing fair valuation of fund investments. The new rule sets forth requirements for good faith determinations of fair value as well as for the performance of fair value determinations, including related oversight and

reporting obligations. The new rule also defines “readily available market quotations” for purposes of the definition of “value” under the Act, and the SEC noted that this definition would apply in all contexts under the Act. The effective date for the rule is March 8, 2021. The SEC adopted an eighteen-month transition period beginning from the effective date for the new rule. The Adviser is currently evaluating the impact, if any, on the financial statements.

NOTE 11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the date the financial statements were issued and determined that there are no additional subsequent events to report.

The Fund offered to repurchase 8% of its outstanding shares, representing 7,547,208 shares, with respect to its October 22, 2021 Repurchase Offer. Shareholders actually tendered 2,805,071 total shares for repurchase. The Fund repurchased 100% of total tendered shares, representing approximately $83,450,872.

SECURITY PROXY VOTING

The Fund’s policy is to vote its proxies in accordance with the recommendations of management. A description of the policies and procedures that the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge upon request by calling (866) 280-1952 and on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT, which has replaced Form N-Q, within 60 days after the end of the period. Copies of the Fund’s Forms N-PORT are available without a charge, upon request, by contacting the Fund at (866) 459-2772 and on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

All distributions paid by the Fund will be reinvested in additional Shares of the Fund unless a shareholder “opts out” (elects not to reinvest in Shares), pursuant to the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Policy. A shareholder may elect initially not to reinvest by indicating that choice on a shareholder certification. Thereafter, a shareholder is free to change his, her or its election on a quarterly basis by contacting BNY Mellon (or, alternatively, by contacting the Selling Agent that sold such shareholder his, her or its Shares, who will inform the Fund). Shares purchased by reinvestment will be issued at their NAV on the ex-dividend date. There is no Sales Load or other charge for reinvestment. The Fund reserves the right to suspend or limit at any time the ability of shareholders to reinvest distributions. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions does not relieve participants of any U.S. federal income tax that may be payable (or required to be withheld) on such distributions.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND INVESTMENT SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

At a meeting held on May 27, 2021, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Fund, including a majority of the Directors who are not “interested persons” (the “Independent Directors”), as such term is defined by the 1940 Act, approved the continuation of the following investment advisory agreements: (1) the Investment Management Agreement between the Fund and Versus Capital Advisors LLC (the “Adviser”) (the “Management Agreement”), (2) the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and Security Capital Research & Management Incorporated (“Security Capital” or “Sub-Adviser”) and (3) the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and Principal Real Estate Investors, LLC (“Principal” or “Sub-Adviser”). (The Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements each are referred to as a “Sub-Advisory Agreement” and together with the Management Agreement are referred to as the “Agreements.”) In preparation for that meeting, the Independent Directors met on May 17, 2021, with the assistance of their independent legal counsel, to discuss their fiduciary duties in connection with their consideration of the Agreements, to review and evaluate the materials provided by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers in response to a request for information on behalf of the Independent Directors (the “Initial Responses”) and to determine any additional information to be requested, which supplemental information was included with the May Board meeting materials (the “Supplemental Responses,” which together with the Initial Responses are referred to as the “Responses”). At the May 27, 2021 Investment Committee meeting, the Independent Directors further reviewed the Responses and received a presentation from the Adviser. The Independent Directors further discussed continuation of the Agreements in an executive session with independent legal counsel, after which they recommended to the full Board the continuation of the Agreements.

Management Agreement

Matters considered by the Board in connection with its approval of the Management Agreement included, among other factors, the following:

The nature, extent and quality of the services the Adviser provides under the Management Agreement: The Board reviewed and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser, including the Adviser’s presentation about its operations and capabilities, including its business continuity plan and information security program and steps taken to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Adviser’s Form ADV, the Management Agreement and other materials provided by the Adviser relating to the Management Agreement. The Board also noted information received at regular meetings throughout the year related to the services provided. The Board considered the investment strategy employed by the Adviser for investing in third party private funds and domestic and internationally publicly traded real estate securities. Additionally, the Board considered the Adviser’s description of the investment decision-making process for the Fund, including the multi-step process for the selection of sub-advisers to manage portions of the Fund’s assets and the multi-step process for the selection of private funds for investment of Fund assets. The Board considered the Adviser’s addition of staff and resources to provide research and analysis of sub-advisers and private funds and the plans to reduce the use of outside consulting services for such information. The Board also considered the Adviser’s process for ongoing monitoring of sub-advisers and private funds, including the review of performance and investment risk, the review to ensure that investments are consistent with the Fund’s investment objective, the review of leverage, compliance updates, due diligence visits and on-going monitoring for the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their operations. In addition to the portfolio construction and investment management services outlined above, the Board reviewed the additional services provided by the Adviser, including, but not limited to: compliance services; certain administrative services, including valuation of assets, management of liquidity to meet quarterly repurchases and oversight of service providers; and distribution, marketing and shareholder services. The Board reviewed and considered the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the professional personnel of the Adviser performing services for the Fund. The Board also considered the financial strength of the Adviser and its ability to fulfill its contractual obligations as well as the risks assumed by the Adviser in managing the Fund. The Board received and reviewed financial statements from the Adviser and information about the Adviser’s insurance coverage. The Board considered the additional resources added to support the Adviser’s administrative functions and the steps taken by the Adviser to enhance the compliance program. The Board concluded that the Adviser was qualified to perform the services needed to successfully implement the Fund’s investment strategy.

Performance: The Board received and reviewed performance information for the Fund. The Board evaluated performance in light of the Fund’s primary objective of seeking consistent current income, with a secondary objective of capital preservation and long-term capital appreciation. The Board considered the Adviser’s success in seeking to achieve these objectives by allocating capital primarily among a select group of investment managers with expertise in managing portfolios of direct real estate and real estate-related securities. The Board considered the returns of the Fund for the one-year, three-year, five-year, and since inception periods ended March 31, 2021 and compared the Fund’s return to the NCREIF Fund Index -Daily Priced. The Board also considered the income distributions from the Fund. The Board also considered the returns of the Fund for the one-year, three-year, five-year, and since inception periods ended March 31, 2021 as compared to a peer group of closed-end interval funds (the “Peer Group”) provided by the Adviser. The Adviser explained that the Peer Group was comprised of the six other interval funds that provide access to both private and public real estate and discussed the reasons for differences in the performance of the Fund and the Peer Group. Based on the information provided, the Board concluded that the Adviser was meeting the Fund’s investment objectives and had delivered an acceptable level of investment returns to shareholders

A comparison of fees with those paid by similar investment companies: The Board reviewed and considered the contractual advisory fee paid to the Adviser by the Fund in light of the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided by the Adviser. As a part of this review, the Board noted that the Fund directly pays the sub-advisory fees of Security Capital and Principal, and considered the aggregate fee paid by the Fund for advisory services. The Board also reviewed a breakdown of other Fund expenses. The Board considered the aggregate advisory fee and the total expense ratio of the Fund in comparison to the Peer Group. The Board also considered the Adviser’s representation that it had no other client with a comparable investment strategy to the Fund. The Board compared the advisory fee and total expense ratio of the funds in the Peer Group with those of the Fund and considered that the Fund’s advisory fee and total expense ratio were each below the average and weighted average of the Peer Group. In light of these and other factors, the Board concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable.

The Adviser’s costs and profitability: The Board considered the profitability of the Adviser and whether such profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund. As a part of this consideration the Board reviewed the Adviser’s 2019 and 2020 audited financial statements. The Board reviewed information provided by the Adviser regarding profitability from the fund complex. The Adviser reviewed its methodology for computing the information provided. The Board also considered the increase in overhead detailed by the Adviser as a result of additions of investment and other resources during the past year and the future intention to add more resources. The Board noted that the Fund was a specialized product that required appropriate expertise. The Board concluded that based upon these factors, the Adviser’s profits were not unreasonable.

Indirect benefits of providing advisory services: The Board took into account the Adviser’s statement that it does not receive any indirect benefits from the Fund.

The extent to which economies of scale are shared with shareholders: The Board considered the Adviser’s representation that the advisory fee structure for the Fund had been set to price the Fund at scale at the time of its launch, which would give the Fund the benefits of scale without waiting for asset growth. The Board also considered the level of the current assets in the Fund and the competitive level of the Fund’s advisory fee within its Peer Group, as well as the additional investments being made by the Adviser into resources to support the services provided to the Fund. The Board concluded that the lack of advisory fee breakpoints was appropriate at this time and any economies of scale were appropriately reflected in the advisory fee paid by the Fund.

Conclusion: The Board, having requested and received such information from the Adviser as it believed reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Management Agreement, determined that the continuation of the Management Agreement for an additional one-year term was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In considering the Management Agreement, the Board did not identify any one factor as decisive, but rather considered these factors collectively in light of surrounding circumstances. Further, each Director may have afforded a different weight to different factors.

Sub-Advisory Agreements

Matters considered by the Board in connection with its approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreements included, among other factors, the following:

The nature, extent and quality of the services provided under each Sub-Advisory Agreement: As to each Sub-Adviser, the Board considered the reputation, qualifications and background of the Sub-Adviser, the investment approach of the Sub-Adviser, the experience and skills of investment personnel responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund, the resources made available to such personnel and the processes for monitoring for best execution of trades and allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also considered the Sub-Advisers’ financial strength, business continuity plan and information security program and response to the COVID-19 pandemic, compliance with investment policies and general legal compliance. Based upon all relevant factors, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Sub-Advisers were satisfactory.

Investment Performance. As to each Sub-Adviser, the Board considered that the Adviser had evaluated the investment performance and recommended the continuation of the Sub-advisory Agreement. For Security Capital, performance information was reviewed for the one-year, three-year, five-year, and since inception (December 13, 2013) periods through March 31, 2021. For Principal, performance information was reviewed for the one-year, three-year, and since inception (March 13, 2017) periods through March 31, 2021. Based upon the performance attribution information provided and the Adviser’s evaluation, the Board concluded that the services of each Sub-Adviser were satisfactory.

Fees, Economies of Scale, Profitability and Other Benefits to Sub-Advisers. For each Sub-Adviser, the Board considered the sub-advisory fee rates, noting that the sub-advisory fee rate was negotiated at arm’s length between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. The Board noted that the Adviser had negotiated additional breakpoints or lower fees in the Security Capital and Principal agreements if higher asset levels were met, which would result in

Additional Information (Unaudited)

 

 

 

lower fees to shareholders at such higher asset levels. In addition, for Security Capital, the Board received information regarding fees charged to other clients of the Sub-Adviser with similarly managed portfolios and asset levels. For Principal, the Board was advised that the fee was determined by the Adviser to be competitive.

The Board considered whether there are economies of scale with respect to the sub-advisory services provided by each Sub-Adviser and whether they were appropriately shared, noting the breakpoints in the fee schedules.

The Board considered the profitability to each Sub-Adviser. For each Sub-Adviser, the Board considered the amount of fees paid to the Sub-Adviser under the agreement, the level of services provided and the competitiveness of the fee. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the profitability of each Sub-Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable.

The Board also considered the character and amount of other incidental benefits received by each Sub-Adviser when evaluating the sub-advisory fees. The Board considered as a part of this analysis that neither Sub-Adviser identified any significant fall-out benefits. The Board considered each Sub-Adviser’s brokerage practices and soft dollar practices. The Board concluded that taking into account the incidental benefits received by each Sub-Adviser and the other factors considered, the sub-advisory fees were reasonable.

Conclusion. The Board, having requested and received such information from the Sub-Advisers as it believed reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of each Sub-Advisory Agreement, determined that the continuation of each Sub-Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year term was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In considering each Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any one factor as decisive, but rather considered these factors collectively in light of surrounding circumstances. Further, each Director may have afforded a different weight to different factors.

Conclusion

The Board, having reviewed each of the Agreements, determined that each Agreement should be renewed because each continues to enable the Fund’s investors to obtain high quality services at a cost that is appropriate, reasonable and in the interests of investors.
