The reported 2.95% also contains 1.01% of property operating costs and 0.19% of borrowing costs, which are not manager or wrapper fees. Class T ongoing cost is 2.50% plus a 3.00% sales charge and 0.50% dealer manager fee.
This record does not state which class's load is inside the figure, so the holding period leaves it unchanged. Loads across the classes reach 0%.not stated

This is the cost for class I (institutional, no sales load).
Based on fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (full year, already annual, Class I), from the annual report financial highlights and confirmed by the prospectus .
This fund's cost was determined by reading its filings in full, because the figures in its expense table do not decompose cleanly.
Drag is the fixed cost of ownership: paid regardless of performance. Net expenses reflect a fee waiver expiring December 31, 2027; the gross ratio is 2.98%. How this is calculated

Also worth knowing
  • Unfunded commitments: 4,715,943 USD (Future capital calls must be funded from cash, the credit line or subscriptions, competing with quarterly repurchases.)
  • Credit facility size, maturity and drawn amount: $175,000,000 commitment, $29,500,000 drawn, matures November 15, 2026 (extendable to November 15, 2027) (Near-term facility maturity and covenants that can limit distributions are a liquidity risk for an illiquid portfolio.)
  • Credit agreement covenants: Covenants may limit distributions, additional debt and mergers, and require asset coverage ratios beyond the 1940 Act (A covenant restriction on distributions would directly affect the income an investor receives.)
  • Property-level mortgage financing: $15,250,000 at 1-month SOFR plus 130 bps, maturing January 20, 2031 (Asset-level floating rate debt added in 2026 raises interest cost and was used to return capital from a joint venture.)
  • Interim-period expense ratio inflation: Class I gross 4.14% annualized, including 1.92% property level and 0.43% borrowing expenses percent (The headline ratio moves with property-level and financing costs, so the reported number can look much higher without the manager fee changing.)
  • Weighted average borrowings and rate: Weighted average loan and mortgage payable $91,569,000 at a 5.38% weighted average rate (six months to 6/30/2026) (Average leverage during the period was far above the period-end balance, so financing cost is understated by end-of-period debt.)
  • Distributions versus funds available for distribution: FAD $22,798,053 versus distributions $47,133,480 for the six months to June 30, 2026 USD (Distributions exceeded funds available for distribution, and 68% of the payout was return of capital, which reduces NAV and tax basis.)
  • Class U share class launch: Inception May 4, 2026, 0.75% servicing and distribution fee, 2.50% expense cap (A new class changes the fee menu; its first-period ratios are distorted by a small asset base (9.04% gross annualized).)

Data from public SEC filings. Argus is not a broker-dealer. Nothing here is an offer or investment advice. Every value shows the filing it came from and the date of that filing. Peer percentiles describe where a value sits in the comparison set, never fund quality. "Not stated in filings" is a fact about a document, never a verdict about this fund.
