Summary
The Principal Real Estate Income Fund (NYSE: PGZ), a Denver-based closed-end fund, announced the sources of a distribution of $0.1050 per share paid on October 30, 2026, to shareholders of record at the close of business on October 16, 2026. The distribution was made under the Fund's managed distribution plan, and the notice was issued as required by an exemptive order granted to the Fund by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, according to the company's Business Wire release.
Under Section 19(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Fund published an estimated breakdown of the distribution by source, expressed as percentages of the total distribution per share. These sources include current and prior fiscal year net investment income, net realized short-term capital gains, net realized long-term capital gains, and return of capital or other capital sources. Figures are presented for both the current distribution and the fiscal year-to-date cumulative distribution. The Fund stated that it has distributed more than its income, meaning part of the payout may be a return of capital. The company cautioned that a return of capital does not necessarily reflect investment performance and should not be confused with yield or income.
The release notes that tax character may differ from GAAP estimates. All or part of the distribution may be taxable on shareholders' 2026 federal returns, and the final classification will be set in January 2027 and reported on Form 1099-DIV. The disclosed amounts are estimates only and are not intended for tax reporting. The Fund's NAV-based return figures are based on performance as of September 30, 2026, and the Fund noted that past performance does not guarantee future results.
The Board of Trustees reviews distribution levels and may modify the policy at any time, taking into account net asset value and market conditions. ALPS Advisors, Inc. is the investment adviser, Principal Real Estate Investors LLC is the investment sub-adviser (not affiliated with ALPS), and ALPS Portfolio Solutions Distributor, Inc. is the FINRA member distributor.
