Staff comment: The SEC staff notes that the Registrant’s annual report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 included the FTSE NAREIT All Equity REITs TR Index in addition to the NFI-ODCE Net Total Return Index. Please confirm whether the Registrant’s benchmark has changed and, if so, whether the Registrant should have included disclosure required by Instruction 4(g)(2)(H) to Item 24 of Form N-2. letter →
Company response: 3 . The Registrant confirms that its benchmark has not changed. The NFI-ODCE Net Total Return Index serves as the Registrant’s performance index because the Adviser believes it is representative of the Registrant’s investment strategy. The Registrant inadvertently omitted the S&P 500 Index from the Form N-CSR. This index serves as the Registrant’s regulatory index and provides a broad measure of market performance. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index serves as a supplemental index for the Registrant. The Registrant will include the performance of these indices and the rationale for the inclusion of each of these indices in its next Form N-CSR filing. response letter →
