[•] Rights for [•] Shares

 

Subscription Rights for [•]% Series [•] [Cumulative] Preferred Shares
 

 

Brookfield Real Assets Income Fund Inc. (the “Fund,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is issuing subscription rights (the “Rights”) to our [common] [preferred] stockholders to purchase shares of [•]% Series [•] Preferred Shares (the “Series [•] Preferred Shares”).

 

The Fund is a diversified, closed-end management investment company that commenced investment operations in December 2016. Our investment objective is to seek high total return, primarily through high current income and secondarily, through growth of capital.

 

The Fund’s common shares of stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Shares”), are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and trade under the ticker symbol “RA.” On [•] (the last trading date prior to the Common Shares trading ex-Rights), the last reported net asset value per share of the Common Shares was $[•] and the last reported sales price per Common Share on the NYSE was $[•].

 

Investing in our securities involves certain risks. You could lose some or all of your investment. Shares of closed-end investment companies frequently trade at a discount to their net asset value and this may increase the risk of loss to purchasers of our securities. You should carefully consider these risks together with all of the other information contained in this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus before making a decision to purchase our securities.

 

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved these securities or determined if this Prospectus Supplement is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 

You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus. The Fund has not authorized anyone to provide you with different information. The Fund is not making an offer to sell these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should not assume that the information contained in this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus is accurate as of any date other than the date of this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus, respectively. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates. In this Prospectus Supplement and in the accompanying Prospectus, unless otherwise indicated, “Fund,” “us,” “our” and “we” refer to Brookfield Real Assets Income Fund Inc. This Prospectus Supplement also includes trademarks owned by other persons.

 

As permitted by regulations adopted by the SEC, paper copies of the Fund’s annual and semi-annual shareholder reports are no longer sent by mail, unless you specifically requested to receive paper copies of the reports. Instead, the reports are available on the Fund’s website (https://publicsecurities.brookfield.com/en). You will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.

 

If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from the Fund electronically anytime by contacting your financial intermediary (such as a broker, investment adviser, bank or trust company) or, if you are a direct investor, by calling the Fund (toll-free) at (855) 777-8001 or by sending an email request to the Fund at publicsecurities.enquiries@brookfield.com.

 

 

 

You may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge. If you invest through a financial intermediary, you may contact your financial intermediary to request that you continue to receive paper copies of your shareholder reports. If you invest directly with the Fund, you may call (855) 777-8001 or send an email request to the Fund at publicsecurities.enquiries@brookfield.com to let the Fund know you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your reports. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all funds held in your account if you invest through your financial intermediary or all funds held with the fund complex if you invest directly with the Fund.

 

Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to them in the accompanying Prospectus.

Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Prospectus Supplement, the accompanying Prospectus and the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) contain “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements can be identified by the words “may,” “will,” “intend,” “expect,” “estimate,” “continue,” “plan,” “anticipate,” and similar terms and the negative of such terms. Such forward-looking statements may be contained in this Prospectus Supplement as well as in the accompanying Prospectus. By their nature, all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Several factors that could materially affect our actual results are the performance of the portfolio of securities we hold, the price at which our shares will trade in the public markets and other factors discussed in our periodic filings with the SEC. Currently known risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, but are not limited to, the factors described in the Fund’s Annual Report under the heading “Additional Fund Information—Risk Factors and Special Considerations,” which is also incorporated by reference into the accompanying Prospectus. We urge you to carefully review that section for a more detailed discussion of the risks of an investment in our securities.

 

Although we believe that the expectations expressed in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed in our forward-looking statements. Our future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, such as those disclosed in the Fund’s Annual Report under the heading “Additional Fund Information—Risk Factors and Special Considerations,” which is also incorporated by reference into the accompanying Prospectus. All forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus Supplement or the accompanying Prospectus are made as of the date of this Prospectus Supplement or the accompanying Prospectus, as the case may be. Except for our ongoing obligations under the federal securities laws, we do not intend, and we undertake no obligation, to update any forward-looking statement. The forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus Supplement, the accompanying Prospectus and the SAI are excluded from the safe harbor protection provided by section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
