VERSUS CAPITAL MULTI-MANAGER REAL ESTATE INCOME FUND LC

Notes to Financial Statements

September 30, 2018 (Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION

Versus Capital Multi-Manager Real Estate Income Fund LLC (the “Fund”) is a Delaware limited liability company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a non-diversified, continuously offered, closed-end management investment company that provides liquidity through a quarterly repurchase policy. The Fund’s investment objectives are to seek consistent current income, capital preservation and long-term capital appreciation. The Fund attempts to achieve these objectives by allocating its capital among a select group of institutional asset managers (the “Investment Managers”) with expertise in managing portfolios of real estate and real estate-related investments. The Fund was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 9, 2011, (the “Effective Date”) and accordingly, the Fund commenced its investment operations. The Fund was originally authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest without par value up to a total of $750,000,000.  On February 2, 2016, the Fund registered additional shares allowing it to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest without par value up to a total of $2 Billion. On April 18, 2017, the Fund registered additional shares allowing it to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest without par value to a total of $4 Billion.

The Fund is currently registered to offer I-Share Class (“the I-Shares”). Effective January 26, 2018, F-Shares were eliminated and are no longer offered.  Any remaining F-Shares were converted to I-Shares.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Fund is an investment company that follows the accounting and reporting guidance of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 applicable to investment companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

Securities Valuation - Consistent with Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940Act, the Funds price their securities as follows: Investments in securities that are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) are valued, except as indicated below, at the last sale price reflected at the close of the NYSE. If there has been no sale on such day, the securities are valued at the mean of the closing bid and ask prices for the day or, if no ask price is available, at the bid price.  Securities not listed on the NYSE but listed on other domestic or foreign securities exchanges are valued in a similar manner. Securities traded on more than one securities exchange are valued at the last sale price as reflected on the tape at the close of the exchange representing the principal market for such securities. If, after the close of a foreign market, but prior to the NYSE close, market conditions change significantly, certain foreign securities may be valued pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Directors (the “Board”).

Debt securities are valued at their bid prices by an independent pricing service using valuation methods that are designed to represent fair value, such as matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models, market transactions and dealer quotations.  Debt securities purchased with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at acquisition cost, plus or minus any amortized discount or premium which approximates fair value.

Securities for which market prices are unavailable, or securities for which the Adviser determines that the bid and/or ask price does not reflect market value, will be valued at fair value pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. Circumstances in which market prices may be unavailable include, but are not limited to, trading in a security is suspended, the exchange on which the security is traded is subject to an unscheduled close or disruption or material events occur after the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded. In these circumstances, the Fund determines fair value in a manner that fairly reflects the market value of the security on the valuation date based on consideration of any information or factors it deems appropriate.  These may include recent transactions in comparable securities, information relating to the specific security and developments in the markets. Short-term debt securities, which have a maturity date of 60 days or less, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at their closing NAV.

As a general matter, the Fund records the fair value of its interests in certain investment funds based on the NAV provided by the Investment Managers and their agents.  These fair value calculations will involve significant professional judgment by the Investment Managers in the application of both observable and unobservable attributes, the calculated net asset values of the Investment Funds' assets may differ from their actual realizable value or future fair value. Valuations will be provided to the Fund based on the interim unaudited financial records of Investment Funds, and, therefore, will be estimates subject to adjustment (upward or downward) upon the auditing of such financial records and may fluctuate as a result. Furthermore, the Board and the Adviser may not have the ability to assess the accuracy of these valuations.

The Fund's use of fair value pricing may cause the NAV of the Shares to differ from the NAV that would be calculated using market quotations. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may be materially different than the value that could be realized upon the sale of such security.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have readily available market quotations, the fair value of the Fund’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values the Fund may ultimately realize. Further, such investments may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise less liquid than publicly traded securities.

Fair Value Measurements: The inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:

Level 1  –      unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2  –      prices determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3  –      significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. It is the Fund's policy to recognize transfers in and out of the levels at the value at the (end or beginning) of the period. For the six months ended September 30, 2018, there were no transfers between levels. A summary of inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of September 30, 2018 is as follows:

At the end of each calendar quarter, management evaluates the classification of Levels 1, 2 and 3 assets and liabilities. Various factors are considered, such as changes in liquidity from the prior reporting period; whether or not a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price; the depth and consistency of prices from third party pricing services; and the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market. Additionally, management evaluates the classification of Level 1 and Level 2 assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis for changes in listings or delistings on national exchanges. There were no transfers between categories during the six months ended September 30, 2018.

The following is a reconciliation of Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value:

$       1,135,133

 

For the period ended September 30, 2018 the total change in unrealized gain on Level 3 securities still held at the end of the period was $(31,781).

 

Investment Income and Securities Transactions - Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Dividend income is recorded net of applicable withholding taxes. Interest income is accrued daily. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted on an effective yield method on fixed income securities. The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and reclaims as applicable, based upon their current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which the Fund invests.  Securities are accounted for on a trade date basis. The cost of securities sold is determined and gain (losses) are based upon the specific identification method.

VERSUS CAPITAL MULTI-MANAGER REAL ESTATE INCOME FUND LC

Notes to Financial Statements

September 30, 2018 (Unaudited) (continued)

Foreign Currency - Foreign currencies, investments and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at 4:00 p.m. U.S. ET (Eastern Time).  Fluctuations in the value of the foreign currencies and other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains (losses).  Realized gains (losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, and are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Fund will make regular quarterly distributions to shareholders of all or a portion of any dividends or investment income it earns on investments. In addition, the Fund will make regular distributions to the shareholders of all or a portion of capital gains distributed to the Fund by Investment Funds and capital gains earned by the Fund from the disposition of Investment Funds, together with any dividends or interest income earned from such investments. A portion of any dividend may be a return of capital or from other capital sources.

Allocation - Investment income earned, realized capital gains and losses, and unrealized appreciation and depreciation for the Fund are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon its proportionate share of total net assets of the Fund. Class-specific expenses are charged directly to the class incurring the expense. Common expenses, which are not attributable to a specific class, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon their proportionate share of total net assets of the Fund.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Information - The Fund intends to qualify each year as a “regulated investment company” under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. By so qualifying, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of its net investment income and any realized capital gains. This policy may cause multiple distributions during the course of the year, which are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

As of and during the six months ended September 30, 2018, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the statement of operations. During the period, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties. The Fund is not subject to examination by the U.S. federal tax authorities for the fiscal years before 2012. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal.

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (“Modernization Act”) was signed into law on December 22, 2010. Under the Modernization Act, the Fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 indefinitely. As a result, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term under previous law.

Dividends from net investment income and distributions from realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the character of distributions and composition of net assets for tax purposes may differ from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements. To the extent these differences are permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts at fiscal year-end based on the tax treatment; temporary differences do not require such reclassification.

For the year ended March 31, 2018, tax character of the distribution paid by the Fund was approximately $24,121,000 of ordinary income dividends, approximately $14,612,000 of long-term capital gains and approximately $41,579,000 of return of capital. For the year ended March 31, 2017, tax character of the distribution paid by the Fund were approximately $18,998,000 of ordinary income dividends, approximately $7,302,000 of long-term capital gains and approximately $19,115,000 of return of capital. Distribution from net investment income and short-term capital gains are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

As of March 31, 2018, the Fund had no capital loss carryovers available to offset possible future capital gains.

Under federal tax law, capital and qualified ordinary losses realized after October 31 and December 31, respectively, may be deferred and treated as having arisen on the first day of the following fiscal year. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, the Fund elected to defer approximately $3,554,000 in qualified late year losses.

As of September 30, 2018, the gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation and net unrealized appreciation on a tax basis were approximately $141,434,000, ($6,119,000) and $135,315,000, respectively. The aggregate cost of securities for federal income tax purposes at September 30, 2018, was approximately $2,280,776,000.

Guarantees and Indemnifications – In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown and this would involve future claims against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Based on experience, the Fund would expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities) at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 3. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement, Versus Capital Advisors LLC (the “Adviser”) serves as the investment adviser to the Fund. For its services under this agreement, the Fund pays the Adviser an Investment Management Fee at an annual rate of 0.95% of the Fund's NAV, which accrues daily based on the average daily net assets of the Fund and is paid quarterly. The Fund accrued fees to the Adviser of approximately $11,094,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2018.

 

The Adviser engaged Callan Associates Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) to act as the Fund's investment Sub-Adviser for the selection of Investment Managers.  The Sub-Adviser fee is paid by the Adviser. The Adviser, with the assistance of the Sub-Adviser, allocates the Fund's assets and, thereafter, evaluates regularly each Investment Manager to determine whether its investment program is consistent with the Fund's investment objective and whether its investment performance is satisfactory. The Adviser may, at its discretion, reallocate the Fund's assets among the Investment Managers.

 

The Adviser and Sub-Adviser have retained the services of the following Investment Managers for the Fund: Security Capital Research & Management, Inc. and Principal Real Estate Investors, LLC.  The Investment Managers will either (i) manage investment funds that invest in real estate-related debt, consisting of mezzanine and first mortgage debt, and directly in real estate through entities that qualify as real estate investment trusts for federal income tax purposes (“REITs”) or investment vehicles treated similarly as private REITs for tax purposes (collectively, the “Investment Funds”) as described further below (see “Taxes”), or (ii) sub-advise a specified portion of the Fund's assets to be invested in domestic and international publicly traded real estate securities, such as common and preferred stock of publicly listed REITs, commercial mortgage-backed securities, commercial real estate collateralized debt obligations, and senior unsecured debt of REITs (referred to hereafter as the “Real Estate Securities” and together with the Investment Funds as “Real Estate-Related Investments”). Fees paid to investment managers are based on the average net assets of the fund at an annual rate between 0.05% and 0.08%. The Fund accrued fees to the Investment Managers of approximately $1,263,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2018.

The Fund pays each Independent Director a fee per annum. In addition, the Fund reimburses each of the Independent Directors for travel and other expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings; provided, however, that if more than three board meetings require out-of-town travel time, such additional travel time may be billed at the rate set forth in the Board of Directors Retainer Agreement or as amended by action of the Board from time to time.  Each of the Independent Directors is a member of the Audit Committee and/or Nominating Committee.  The Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional fee per annum. Other members of the Board and executive officers of the Fund receive no compensation.

NOTE 4. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

For the six months ended September 30, 2018, the purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments and U.S. Government securities were approximately $364,454,000 and $169,058,000, respectively.

NOTE 5. REPURCHASE OFFERS

The Fund has a fundamental policy that it will make quarterly Repurchase Offers for no less than 5% of its shares outstanding at NAV, unless suspended or postponed in accordance with regulatory requirements (as discussed below), and that each quarterly repurchase pricing shall occur no later than the 14th day after the Repurchase Request Deadline (defined below), or the next Business Day if the 14th is not a Business Day (each a “Repurchase Pricing Date”). In general, the Repurchase Pricing Date occurs on the Repurchase Payment Deadline and settlement occurs 3 days later. Shares will be repurchased at the NAV per Share determined as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on the Repurchase Pricing Date. Repurchase tenders made during the six months ended September 30, 2018 cumulatively were approximately $95,150,000.

Shareholders will be notified in writing about each quarterly Repurchase Offer, how they may request that the Fund repurchase their shares and the Repurchase Request Deadline, which is the date the Repurchase Offer ends. The Repurchase Request Deadline will be determined by the Board. The time between the notification to shareholders and the Repurchase Request Deadline may vary from no more than 42 days to no less than 21 days. The repurchase price of the shares will be the NAV as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on the Repurchase Pricing Date. Payment pursuant to the repurchase will be made to the shareholders within seven days of the Repurchase Pricing Date (the “Repurchase Payment Deadline”).  Certain authorized institutions, including custodians and clearing platforms, may set times prior to the Repurchase Request Deadline by which they must receive all documentation they may require relating to repurchase requests and may require additional information. In addition, certain clearing houses may allow / require you to submit your tender request only on the Repurchase Request Deadline.

Shares tendered for repurchase by shareholders prior to any Repurchase Request Deadline will be repurchased subject to the aggregate repurchase amounts established for that Repurchase Request Deadline. Repurchase proceeds, net of any repurchase fee, will be paid to shareholders prior to the Repurchase Payment Deadline.

The Board, or a committee thereof, in its sole discretion, will determine the number of shares that the Fund will offer to repurchase (the “Repurchase Offer Amount”) for a given Repurchase Request Deadline. The Repurchase Offer Amount, however, will be no less than 5% of the total number of shares outstanding on the Repurchase Request Deadline.

VERSUS CAPITAL MULTI-MANAGER REAL ESTATE INCOME FUND LC

Notes to Financial Statements

September 30, 2018 (Unaudited) (continued)

If Share repurchase requests exceed the number of Shares in the Fund's Repurchase Offer, the Fund may, in its sole discretion (i) repurchase the tendered Shares on a pro rata basis or (ii) increase the number of Shares to be repurchased by up to 2.0% of the Fund's outstanding Shares. As a result, tendering shareholders may not have all of their tendered Shares repurchased by the Fund.

A shareholder who tenders some, but not all, of such shareholder's Shares for repurchase as of a Repurchase Pricing Date will be required to maintain a minimum aggregate NAV of shares equal to $2,000. The Fund reserves the right to reduce the amount to be repurchased from a shareholder as of a Repurchase Pricing Date so that the required minimum aggregate NAV of shares is maintained. Upon request by a shareholder, the Board may permit a shareholder to cancel a shareholder's tender of Shares, if such cancellation is determined by the Board to be in the best interest of the Fund.

A shareholder who tendered for repurchase such shareholder's Shares during the first year following such shareholder's initial capital contribution was subject to a fee of 2.00% of the value of the F-Shares repurchased by the Fund, payable to the Fund (an “Early Withdrawal Charge”).

NOTE 6.  LINE OF CREDIT

Effective April 5, 2018, the Fund's line of credit with ZB, N.A. dba Vectra Bank Colorado (“Vectra”) expired and the Fund opened a new secured $130,000,000 line of credit with a $20,000,000 accordion feature for the purpose of liquidity subject to the limitations of the 1940 Act for borrowings (the “LOC”). Borrowings, if any, under the Vectra arrangement bear interest at the one month LIBOR/Swap Rate plus 150 basis points at the time of borrowing. In addition, the Fund incurs a Non-Utilization Fee equal to 38 basis points on the portion of the LOC not being used. The Fund incurred loan fees equal to approximately $244,000 during the six months ended September 30, 2018. As collateral for the lines of credit, the Fund would grant Vectra a first position security interest in and lien on securities held by the Fund in the collateral account. As of September 30, 2018 the Fund had not utilized this line of credit.

NOTE 7. RESTRICTED SECURITIES

Restricted securities include securities that have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and securities that are subject to restrictions on resale. The Fund may invest in restricted securities that are consistent with a Fund’s investment objective and investment strategies. Investments in restricted securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. It is possible that the estimated value may differ significantly from the amount that might ultimately be realized in the near term, and the difference could be material. Each of the following securities can suspend redemptions if its respective Board deems it in the best interest of its shareholders.  None of these securities have suspended redemptions. This and other important information are described in the Fund's Prospectus dated October 18, 2018.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

 

Versus Capital Advisors LLC Advisory Agreement

 

At a meeting held on May 24th, 2018 (the “May Meeting”), the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Fund, including a majority of the Directors who are not “interested persons” (the “Independent Directors”), as such term is defined by the 1940 Act, approved the renewal of the Advisory Agreement. Matters considered by the Directors in connection with the Board’s renewal of the Advisory Agreement included the following:

 

Nature and Quality of the Adviser’s Services to Fund Shareholders: The Board reviewed the response to the Request For Information (“RFI”) and other materials provided by the Advisor relating to the Advisory Agreement. With respect to the nature, extent and quality of services provided, the Directors reviewed a description of the investment decision making process for the Fund, a description of the services provided by the Advisor, an overview of the experience of professional personnel performing services for the Fund, the performance of the Fund, and the Advisor’s Form ADV.

 

Based on the Board’s work through its Investment Committee the Board noted the consistency of the process used by the Adviser and the detailed information and transparency provided to the Board.  The Board discussed the staffing necessary and the expertise needed to execute the investment process and noted the addition of the Deputy CIO since the agreement was last approved and the lack of turnover in the Advisor’s staff since the inception of the Fund. The Board also considered the depth and scope of the investment services provided by the Advisor to the Fund, including with respect to the monitoring and oversight of Investment Managers including sub-advisers and Investment Funds.  With respect to compliance, the Board was presented with the findings of a Mock Audit performed by an Independent Third Party as well as compliance monitoring reports from the Fund’s third party Administrator evaluating compliance with prospectus guidelines as well as Regulated Investment Company guidelines.

 

The Board reviewed the Fund’s performance relative to various benchmarks including the outperformance of a custom private and public benchmark of 70% allocation to the NFI-ODCE Equal Weight Net and a 30% allocation to the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed REIT Index over the trailing two year period and performance in-line with a peer group provided by the Fund’s Sub-Adviser Callan LLC.  A discussion of the Fund’s performance since reaching its target mix between public and private real estate investments in January 2014 was provided highlighting the Fund’s 7.4% return with a standard deviation of 1.8%.  This led to a discussion of risk-adjusted performance and the volatility and correlation of the Fund to broad equity and fixed income markets. Based on the information provided, the Board concluded that the Advisor was meeting the Fund’s investment objectives and had delivered an acceptable level of investment returns to shareholders.

 

A Comparison of Fees with Those Paid by Similar Investment Companies: The Directors considered a comparison of the Fund’s advisory fee and overall expenses to a Peer Group of closed end interval funds which invest in Real Estate from the Morningstar Direct Database.  A discussion of the Fund’s 95 bps Advisory fee occurred noting the Adviser pays Callan LLC out of this fee. The Board considered that the Fund’s advisory fee of 0.95% was below the mean in the Peer Group. 

 

The Board also considered the net expense ratio of the Fund, noting that the Fund’s net Expense Ratio was more than 100 bps lower than the Peer Group. The Board considered the nature and quality of services provided by the adviser, and in light of these factors, the Board concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate.

VERSUS CAPITAL MULTI-MANAGER REAL ESTATE INCOME FUND LC

Additional Information (Unaudited) (continued)

 

The Adviser’s Compensation and Profitability: The Board also considered the profitability of the Adviser and whether such profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund. The Board reviewed the Adviser’s Audited Financials a of 12/31/2017. The Board considered that the Fund was a specialized product that required appropriate expertise. The Directors agreed that given the unique nature of the Fund’s strategy, that the Advisor’s net profits both in terms of dollar amount and as a percentage of the advisory fee was not unreasonable.

Indirect Benefits of Providing Advisory Services: The Board was informed that the Adviser does not receive any indirect benefits from the Fund including no revenue sharing or “soft dollar” arrangements. 

The Extent to which Economies of Scale are Shared with Shareholders: The Board considered the current and projected asset levels, and economies realized in the Fund’s total expenses and agreed that the lack of management fee breakpoints was appropriate at this time. The Board discussed the Advisor’s projections for reaching economies of scale at higher asset levels and agreed to revisit whether economies of scale had been realized in the future once sufficient Fund size was achieved.

Conclusion. The Directors, including the majority Independent Directors, having requested and received such information from the Advisor as they believed reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Advisory Agreement, determined that continuation of the Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year term is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In considering the Advisory Agreement, the Directors did not identify any one factor as all important, but rather considered these factors collectively in light of surrounding circumstances. Further, each Director may have afforded a different weight to different factors.

Sub-Advisory Agreement Callan LLC

At a meeting held on May 24th, 2018 (the “May Meeting”), the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Fund, including a majority of the Directors who are not “interested persons” (the “Independent Directors”), as such term is defined by the 1940 Act, approved the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement with Callan LLC (“Callan”). Matters considered by the Directors in connection with the Board’s renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement included the following:

Nature and Quality of the Sub-Adviser’s Services to Fund Shareholders: The Board reviewed the response to the Request For Information (“RFI”) and other materials provided by the Sub-Adviser relating to the Sub-Advisory Agreement including the firm’s ADV. With respect to the nature, extent and quality of services provided, the Directors noted that Callan provides a broad range of services for the Fund including due diligence of new opportunities, in depth monitoring of existing relationships within the Fund, performance measurement reporting services, as well as providing a research and a broad industry perspective.

The Board considered that Callan’s services were primarily consultative in nature and Callan did not maintain responsibility with respect to the Fund’s adherence to its investment objective or operations. The Board considered the depth of research performed by Callan. The Board considered the Callan Real Assets Team experience and the depth of the team. The Board also considered the quality of communication between the Advisor and Callan, noting that the Advisor frequently meets with Callan in person and via phone calls.  Based on the Board’s work through its Investment Committee the Board noted the consistency of the process used by the Sub-Adviser and the detailed information and transparency provided to the Board including monitoring reports and investment recommendations from Callan.

The Board concluded Callan maintained sufficient quality and depth of personnel, significant resources, detailed investment process and compliance policies and procedures essential to continue performing its duties under the Sub-Advisory Agreement.  Additionally, overall quality and extent of the services provided by Callan to the Advisor and the Fund were satisfactory and reliable.

A Comparison of Fees with Those Paid by Similar Investment Companies: The Directors were informed that the Sub-Advisory fee was inline relative to fees charged for comparable accounts at Callan as well as compared to other alternatives in the marketplace.  It was noted that the Callan sub-advisory fee comes out of the Adviser’s fee and that the Adviser’s fee was below the median of the closed-end interval fund Peer Group and the Fund’s overall Net Expense Ratio was more than 100 bps lower than the Peer Group.  The Board considered the nature and quality of services provided by Callan, and in light of these factors, the Board concluded that the sub-advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate.

The Sub-Adviser’s Compensation and Profitability: The Board also considered the profitability of the Sub-Adviser and whether such profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund. The Board reviewed the Sub-Adviser’s Audited Balance Sheet as of 12/31/2017. The Board considered that the large team of Callan employees providing service to the Adviser and the Fund and concluded that the profit realized by the Sub-Adviser in connection with its relationship with the Fund was not unreasonable.

Indirect Benefits of Providing Sub-Advisory Services: The Board was informed that the Sub-Adviser does not receive any indirect benefits from the Fund including no revenue sharing or “soft dollar” arrangements. 

 

The Extent to which Economies of Scale are Shared with Shareholders: The Board considered the current and projected asset levels, and the fee breaks associated with the sub-advisory agreement. The Board considered that the Callan Sub-Advisory Agreement included breakpoints in its fee above certain asset levels and concluded that while such breakpoints appeared reasonable, economies of scale would be best evaluated at the Fund, rather than sub-advisory level.

Sub-Advisory Agreement Security Capital

At a meeting held on May 24th, 2018 (the “May Meeting”), the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Fund, including a majority of the Directors who are not “interested persons” (the “Independent Directors”), as such term is defined by the 1940 Act, approved the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement with Security Capital Research & Management  (“Security Capital”). Matters considered by the Directors in connection with the Board’s renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement included the following:

Nature and Quality of the Sub-Adviser’s Services to Fund Shareholders: The Board reviewed the response to the Request For Information (“RFI”) and other materials provided by the Sub-Adviser relating to the Sub-Advisory Agreement including the firm’s ADV. With respect to the nature, extent and quality of services provided, the Directors noted the that Security Capital separate account strategy invests across the full capital structure of public real estate companies, including common equity (diversified by property sector), preferred, convertible and debt securities, and cash weighted to reflect their assessment of risks, opportunities and pricing of each tranche and each security, all in the context of individual client goals. 

The Board considered the depth of research, the quality of the team that manages the account, the responsiveness and communication between the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, and the unique investment process performed by Security Capital. Performance and specifically risk-adjusted performance were highlighted to the Board showing that the account has delivered attractive risk-adjusted returns inline with the accounts objectives. 

The Board concluded Security Capital maintained sufficient quality and depth of personnel, significant resources, detailed investment process and compliance policies and procedures essential to continue performing its duties under the Sub-Advisory Agreement.  Additionally, overall quality and extent of the services provided by Security Capital to the Adviser and the Fund were satisfactory and reliable.

A Comparison of Fees with Those Paid by Similar Investment Companies: The Directors were informed that the Sub-Advisory fee was inline relative to fees charged for comparable accounts at Security Capital as well as compared to other alternatives in the marketplace.  It was noted that the Security Capital Sub-Advisory fee is higher at low levels of assets but scales lower materially as assets scale.  It was presented that the weighted average fee paid by the Fund to Security Capital during the year was 65 bps. The Board considered the nature and quality of services provided by Security Capital as well as the unique nature of the multi-tranche real estate strategy, and in light of these factors, the Board concluded that the sub-advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate. 

The Sub-Adviser’s Compensation and Profitability: The Board also considered the profitability of the Sub-Adviser and whether such profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.  The Board considered the large team of Security Capital employees providing service to the Adviser and the Fund and the amount paid to the Sub-Adviser of $1,354,601 during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 and concluded that profitability was not unreasonable.

Indirect Benefits of Providing Advisory Services: The Board was informed that the Sub-Adviser does not receive any revenue sharing agreements with any of the related parties.  The Board was also informed that Security Capital does not enter into “soft dollar” arrangements but does receive research from brokers used in the trading process.   Based on this information, the Board concluded that the sub-advisory fee was reasonable taking into account any indirect benefits to the Sub-Adviser. 

The Extent to which Economies of Scale are Shared with Shareholders: The Board considered the current and projected asset levels, and that the Security Capital Sub-Advisory Agreement included breakpoints in its fee above certain asset levels and concluded that while such breakpoints reasonable sharing of any economies of scale.

 Conclusion. The Directors, having requested and received such information from the Sub-Adviser as they believed reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement with Security Capital, determined that continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year term is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In considering the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Directors did not identify any one factor as all important, but rather considered these factors collectively in light of surrounding circumstances. Further, each Director may have afforded a different weight to different factors.

 

Sub-Advisory Agreement PrinREI

At a meeting held on May 24th, 2018 (the “May Meeting”), the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Fund, including a majority of the Directors who are not “interested persons” (the “Independent Directors”), as such term is defined by the 1940 Act, approved the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement with Principal Real Estate Investors (“PrinREI”). Matters considered by the Directors in connection with the Board’s renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement included the following:

Nature and Quality of the Sub-Adviser’s Services to Fund Shareholders: The Board reviewed the response to the Request For Information (“RFI”) and other materials provided by the Sub-Adviser relating to the Sub-Advisory Agreement including the firm’s ADV. With respect to the nature, extent and quality of services provided, the Directors noted the PrinREI separate account is designed to provide diversified real estate exposure through the global listed securities market and U.S. Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities market ("CMBS").

VERSUS CAPITAL MULTI-MANAGER REAL ESTATE INCOME FUND LC

Additional Information (Unaudited) (continued)

 

The Board considered the depth of research, the quality of the team that manages the account, the responsiveness and communication between the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, and the detailed investment process performed by PrinREI. The Board noted that the account has outperformed its blended benchmark significantly since the inception of the account.  Additionally, The Board noted the increased assets being allocated to the Sub-Adviser. 

The Board concluded PrinREI maintained sufficient quality and depth of personnel, significant resources, detailed investment process and compliance policies and procedures essential to continue performing its duties under the Sub-Advisory Agreement.  Additionally, overall quality and extent of the services provided by PrinREI to the Adviser and the Fund were satisfactory and reliable.

A Comparison of Fees with Those Paid by Similar Investment Companies: The Directors were informed that the Sub-Advisory fee was inline relative to fees charged for comparable accounts at PrinREI as well as compared to other alternatives in the marketplace.  It was noted that the PrinREI Sub-Advisory fee is higher at low levels of assets but scales lower as assets scale.  It was presented that the weighted average fee paid by the Fund to PrinREI during the year was 55 bps. The Board considered the nature and quality of services provided by PrinREI as well as the unique nature of the equity and debt real estate securities strategy, and in light of these factors, the Board concluded that the sub-advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate.

The Sub-Adviser’s Compensation and Profitability: The Board also considered the profitability of the Sub-Adviser and whether such profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.  The Board considered that the large team of PrinREI employees providing service to the Adviser and the Fund and determined that the amount paid to the Sub-Adviser of $929,781 in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 and concluded that profitability was not unreasonable.

Indirect Costs and Benefits of Providing Advisory Services: The Board was informed that the Sub-Adviser does not receive any revenue sharing agreements with any of the related parties.  The Board was also informed that PrinREI does pay for some services with soft dollars and has a policy to use all soft dollar credits generated by brokerage commissions attributable to client accounts in a manner consistent with the "safe harbor" established by Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act.  Based on this information, the Board concluded that the sub-advisory fee was reasonable taking into account any indirect benefits to the Sub-Adviser.

The Extent to which Economies of Scale are Shared with Shareholders: The Board considered the current and projected asset levels, and the fee breaks associated with the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board considered that the PrinREI Sub-Advisory Agreement included breakpoints in its fee above certain asset levels and concluded that while such breakpoints appeared reasonable, economies of scale would be best evaluated at the Fund, rather than sub-advisory level.

Conclusion. The Directors, having requested and received such information from the Sub-Adviser as they believed reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement with PrinREI, determined that continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year term is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In considering the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Directors did not identify any one factor as all important, but rather considered these factors collectively in light of surrounding circumstances. Further, each Director may have afforded a different weight to different factors.
