Franklin Templeton Sees Opportunities in Private Real Estate Investments
Franklin Templeton and Clarion Partners are celebrating the five-year anniversary of the Clarion Partners Real Estate Income Fund Inc. (CPREX), a closed-end tender offer fund providing individual investors access to institutional-quality private real estate. CPREX focuses on stable, cash flow-producing properties in U.S. markets with favorable growth prospects, with 89% of its portfolio in industrial warehouse, rental housing, and healthcare-related properties.
The fund has experienced continued net inflows during a period of slow real estate fundraising, allowing for new property acquisitions. Clarion Partners, CPREX's sub-adviser, manages over $74 billion in real estate assets as of June 30, 2024. The fund's strategy balances income and long-term capital appreciation, investing in both real estate private equity and private debt.
Franklin Templeton's alternatives business, including Clarion, represents approximately 16% of the firm's $1.65 trillion in assets under management. The alternative investment market has seen significant growth, with U.S. registered funds investing in private equity, private credit, and real estate nearly tripling from $110.6 billion in 2016 to $299.3 billion in 2023.

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
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.
