RIT - LMP Real Estate Income Fund Inc.

Our goal

High current income. The Fund’s secondary objective is capital appreciation.

What we invest in

The Fund primarily invests in income-producing common shares, preferred shares, convertible preferred shares and debt securities issued by Real Estate Companies, including real estate investment trusts ("REITs").

What should I know before investing?

All investments are subject to risks, including the possible loss of principal. Certain funds, because of their narrow investment focus, tend to be more volatile than funds that invest across many sectors and securities. Leverage may result in greater volatility of NAV and the market price of common shares and increases a shareholder’s risk of loss. The Fund may make significant investments in derivative instruments. Derivative instruments can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on Fund performance.

*Distribution Rate is calculated by annualizing the amount of the most recent distribution paid, excluding special distributions, divided by the previous trading day's closing market price or NAV. Distributions may include investment income, realized capital gains, and/or return of capital. The Distribution Rate will change based on changes in market price and distribution amounts, may not include all amounts distributed by the fund, and is not a quotation of Fund performance. For more information about a distribution's composition refer to the distribution press release or Section 19 notice located in the press release section of our website.

Like other public companies, closed-end funds have a one-time initial public offering. Thus, once their shares are first issued, shares are not continually offered by the closed-end fund, but trade in the open market through a stock exchange. Also, like other common stocks, share prices of closed-end funds will fluctuate with market conditions and, at the time of sale, may be worth more or less than your original investment. Shares of closed-end exchange-traded funds may trade at a discount or premium to their original offering price, and often trade at a discount to their net asset value (a price that reflects the value of the fund's underlying portfolio plus other assets, less the fund's liabilities divided by the number of shares outstanding). Investment return, price and net asset value will fluctuate with changes in market conditions.

Net Asset Value (NAV) is a price that reflects the value of the fund's underlying portfolio plus other assets, less the fund's liabilities divided by the number of shares outstanding. However, the price at which an investor may buy or sell common shares of the fund is at the fund's market price as determined by supply of and demand for the fund's common shares, which may be more or less than the fund's NAV.
