The investments further diversify the CPREX portfolio by geography, tenant, and healthcare sub‑sector, while complementing the Fund's existing exposure across industrial, residential, and alternative real estate. The newly acquired assets include:

• Denton Medical – Denton, TX (Dallas – Fort Worth MSA)
  
  This 38,000‑square‑foot medical office and inpatient rehabilitation facility is located within a dense medical corridor and directly adjacent to an affiliated major hospital campus. The property is 100% leased on a long-term basis to a leading health system.
• PAM Health Rehabilitation Hospitals – Venice, FL and Greeley, CO
  
  This two-property portfolio consists of newly constructed, purpose‑built inpatient rehabilitation facilities totaling approximately 103,000 square feet. They are 100% leased on a long-term basis to a national post-acute care provider.

"Collectively, these properties provide exposure to essential healthcare infrastructure in markets benefiting from population growth, aging demographics, and proximity to established hospital systems," said CPREX Portfolio Manager Rick Schaupp. "All three properties are fully leased to reputable health systems and providers, supporting long-term stability and income durability."

Clarion Head of Healthcare Julie Robinson adds, "These acquisitions reflect our continued commitment to building a diversified healthcare real estate platform anchored by high‑quality assets in strong markets.

Investment Risks

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. All investments involve risk, including loss of principal. Diversification does not ensure against loss. An investment should be considered long-term within a multi-asset portfolio and should not be viewed individually as a complete investment program. The Fund is subject to a high degree of risk; additional risk considerations are listed below:

Liquidity Risks:

The Fund should be viewed as a long-term investment, as it is inherently illiquid and suitable only for investors who can bear the risks associated with the limited liquidity of the Fund. Limited liquidity is provided to shareholders only through the Fund's quarterly repurchase offers for no more than 5% of the Fund's shares outstanding at net asset value. There is no guarantee these repurchases will occur as scheduled, or at all. Shareholders may not be able to sell their shares in the Fund at all or at a favorable price.

Real Estate Investment Risks:

The Fund's investments are highly concentrated in real estate investments and therefore will be subject to the risks typically associated with real estate, including but not limited to fluctuations in lease occupancy rates and operating expenses, variations in rental schedules, which in turn may be adversely affected by local, state, national or international economic conditions. Such conditions may be impacted by the supply and demand for real estate properties, zoning laws, rent control laws, real property taxes, the availability and costs of financing, and environmental laws.

Furthermore, investments in real estate are also impacted by market disruptions caused by regional concerns, political upheaval, sovereign debt crises, and uninsured losses (generally from catastrophic events such as earthquakes, floods and wars). Investments in real estate related securities, such as asset-backed or mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment and extension risks.

Private Market Investments Risks:

An investment in the Fund is suitable only for investors who can bear the risks associated with private market investments (such as private credit and private equity) with potential limited liquidity. Shares will not be listed on a public exchange, and no secondary market is expected to develop. Private equity investments involve a high degree of risk and is suitable only for investors who can afford to risk the loss of all or substantially all of such investment. Private equity investments may hold illiquid investments and its performance may be volatile.
