FAQS

How can I invest in CNSREIT?

CNSREIT is only sold through select financial professionals and is not offered directly to investors. Please contact your advisor for more information.

How often can I invest?

CNSREIT accepts subscriptions monthly.

When can I redeem my shares?

Monthly, however, there are limitations on the number of repurchases we may make in a given month or quarter, and we may choose to repurchase only some, or even none, of shares submitted for repurchase.

What is CNSREIT’s redemption policy?

Redemption limits are a feature of NTRs designed to protect funds from having to liquidate significant real estate holdings at discounted prices or materially boost leverage in response to high redemption requests. NTRs are intended only for investors with the financial means to hold their investments for relatively long periods of time, including during times of market stress and illiquidity.

CNSREIT’s redemption policy is similar the broader NTR market, with monthly liquidity up to 2% and 5% over one quarter. Like other REITs in the market, CNSREIT has the ability to exceed the monthly and quarterly repurchase limits subject to board approval.

What are CNSREIT’s fees?

For more information, please see our summary of terms or review the prospectus. To determine what share classes are available to you, and the associated fees, please discuss with your advisor.

What is CNSREIT’s valuation policy?

Unlike some peers who start with their own monthly valuations, CNSREIT begins with a third-party Independent Valuation Advisor’s appraisal for each property monthly. The valuations are then reviewed by Cohen & Steers.

On an annual basis, properties are appraised by a separate third-party appraisal firm. These annual appraisals will then be reviewed by the primary Independent Valuation Advisor, before being reviewed by Cohen & Steers.
