Notes to Financial Statements

For the Period from December 18, 2020 (Effective Date of the Fund’s Registration Statement) to December 31, 2020

 

1. Formation and Organization

 

Fundrise Real Estate Interval Fund, LLC (the “Fund”) is a Delaware limited liability company and intends to elect to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Fund is organized as a continuously offered, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), that operates as an interval fund. The Fund’s registration statement was declared effective on December 18, 2020.

 

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek to generate current income while secondarily seeking long-term capital appreciation with low to moderate volatility and low correlation to the broader markets. Generally, the Fund’s investment strategy is to invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in a diversified portfolio of private real estate and publicly traded real estate-related investments.

 

The investment adviser to the Fund is Fundrise Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), an investment adviser registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rise Companies Corp. (“Rise Companies” or the “Sponsor”), the Fund’s sponsor. Subject to the supervision of the Board of Directors of the Fund (the “Board”), the Adviser is responsible for directing the management of the Fund’s business and affairs, managing the Fund’s day-to-day affairs, and implementing the Fund’s investment strategy.

 

As of December 31, 2020, the Fund has not commenced investment operations as the Fund has not executed any transactions other than those related to organizational matters and has not issued common shares (“Shares”) to public investors. As of December 31, 2020, the Fund has issued 10,000 common shares to Rise Companies and 500 Shares to Fundrise L.P.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements of the Fund are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The Fund is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. The Fund maintains its financial records in U.S. dollars and follows the accrual basis of accounting.

 

As a result of the global outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, economic uncertainties have arisen that continue to have an adverse impact on economic and market conditions. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving, and the outbreak presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to the Fund’s performance and financial results upon commencement of operations. The Fund is unable to quantify the impact COVID-19 may have on its financial results on an ongoing basis.

 

Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of the financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents may consist of money market funds, demand deposits and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Fund may invest its cash in an institutional money market fund, which is stated at fair value. The Fund’s uninvested cash is maintained with a high credit quality financial institution.

 

Fund Valuation

 

The net asset value (“NAV”) of the Fund’s Shares is calculated daily on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for business as of the close of the regular trading session on the NYSE, usually 4:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time. NAV per Share is calculated by dividing the value of the Fund’s total assets (including interest and dividends accrued but not yet received) minus liabilities (including accrued expenses) by the total number of Shares outstanding.

 

Organizational and Offering Costs

 

Organizational and offering costs of the Fund are initially being paid by the Adviser on behalf of the Fund.

 

Organizational costs may include, among other things, the cost of organizing as a Delaware limited liability company, the cost of certain legal services and other fees pertaining to the Fund’s organization. These costs are expensed as incurred by the Fund.

 

Offering costs may include, among other things, legal, printing and other expenses pertaining to offering the Fund’s Shares. Any offering costs paid by the Adviser will be recorded as a Payable to Adviser - offering costs in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and will be accounted for as a deferred charge until commencement of operations. Thereafter, these offering costs will be amortized over 12 months on a straight-line basis. Ongoing offering costs will be expensed as incurred.

 

All organizational and offering costs of the Fund paid by the Adviser are subject to reimbursement pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement as described in Note 3Related Party Arrangements – Fundrise Advisors, LLC, Adviser. Such reimbursement payments will be made in monthly installments, but the aggregate monthly amount reimbursed can never exceed 1.00% of the aggregate gross offering proceeds. If the sum of the total unreimbursed organizational and offering costs, plus new costs incurred since the last reimbursement payment exceeds the reimbursement limit described above for the applicable monthly installment, the excess will be eligible for reimbursement in subsequent months (subject to the 1.00% limit), calculated on an accumulated basis, until the Adviser has been reimbursed in full. The Adviser is entitled to seek reimbursement from the Fund for fees waived or expenses paid or reimbursed to the Fund for a period ending three years after the date of the waiver, payment or reimbursement, subject to the limitation that a reimbursement will not cause the Fund’s Operating Expenses (as defined in Note 3, Related Party Arrangements – Fundrise Advisors, LLC, Adviser) to exceed the lesser of (a) the expense limitation amount in effect at the time such fees were waived or expenses paid or reimbursed, or (b) the expense limitation amount in effect at the time of the reimbursement.

 

Prior to the Fund's effective registration statement, for the period from April 5, 2019 (Inception) to December 17, 2020, organizational expenses of $917,608 have been paid by the Adviser and may be subject to future reimbursement. For the period from December 18, 2020 (Effective Date of the Fund’s Registration Statement) to December 31, 2020, organizational expenses of $27,089 have been paid by the Adviser and may be subject to future reimbursement. As of December 31, 2020, total organizational expenses of $944,697 have been paid by the Adviser and may be subject to future reimbursement.

 

Prior to the Fund's effective registration statement, for the period from April 5, 2019 (Inception) to December 17, 2020, the Fund incurred deferred offering costs of $907,882. For the period from December 18, 2020 (Effective Date of the Fund’s Registration Statement) to December 31, 2020, the Fund incurred deferred offering costs of $13,560. As of December 31, 2020, deferred offering costs of $921,442 have been paid by the Adviser and may be subject to future reimbursement.

Income Taxes

 

The Fund intends to elect to be taxed as a REIT under the Code, and intends to operate as such, commencing with the taxable year ending December 31, 2021. To qualify as a REIT, the Fund must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of the Fund’s annual REIT taxable income to the shareholders of the Fund (“Shareholders”) (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net investment income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, the Fund generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent it distributes qualifying dividends to its Shareholders. Even if the Fund qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income. For the open tax years, the Fund has no uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements.

 

Issuance of Shares

 

The Fund is deemed to have received a subscription when the Fund receives the properly completed and executed subscription agreement (and all related documentation). Subscriptions will be binding upon investors but will be effective only upon the Fund’s acceptance of the subscribing investor as a Shareholder, which will be based on the Fund’s determination that the investor satisfies the terms and conditions of the subscription agreement. The Fund reserves the right to reject any initial or additional subscription in whole or in part for any reason.

 

Subscriptions will be accepted or rejected within 45 days of receipt by the Fund. An investor will become a Shareholder, including for tax purposes, and the Shares will be issued, as of the date of settlement. Settlement will not occur until an investor’s funds have cleared and the Fund accepts the investor as a Shareholder. The number of Shares issued to an investor will be calculated based on the NAV per Share on the date the Fund receives the subscription. The acceptance of subscriptions may be briefly paused at times to allow the Fund to effectively and accurately process and settle subscriptions that have been received; although the Fund reserves the right to suspend the offering of Shares at any time.

 

As no public market exists for the Shares, and no such market is expected to develop in the foreseeable future, Shareholders will not be able to liquidate their investment, other than through the Fund’s share repurchase program, or, in limited circumstances, as a result of transfers of Shares to other investors.

 

Repurchase of Shares

 

The Fund operates as an interval fund under Rule 23c-3 of the 1940 Act and, as such, provides a limited degree of liquidity to Shareholders. As an interval fund, the Fund has adopted a fundamental policy to offer to repurchase at quarterly intervals a specified percentage of its outstanding Shares at NAV (the “Repurchase Offer Policy”). The Repurchase Offer Policy provides that, once each quarter, the Fund will offer to repurchase at NAV no less than 5% and no more than 25% of the outstanding Shares of the Fund, unless suspended or postponed in accordance with regulatory requirements. The Repurchase Offer Policy is a fundamental policy that may not be changed without the vote of the holders of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act).

 

To conduct a repurchase offer, the Fund will send a repurchase offer notice to Shareholders no less than 21 days and no more than 42 days before the date (the “Repurchase Request Deadline”) by which the Fund announces that Shareholders must tender their Shares in response to such repurchase offer notice. The Fund must receive repurchase requests submitted by Shareholders in response to the Fund’s repurchase offer on or before the Repurchase Request Deadline.

 

The Repurchase Offer Policy provides that the repurchase pricing occur no later than the 14th day after the Repurchase Request Deadline or the next business day if the 14th day is not a business day (the “Repurchase Pricing Date”). The repurchase price of the Shares will be the Fund’s NAV as of the close of the Repurchase Pricing Date.

 

The Board, in its sole discretion, will determine the number of Shares that the Fund will offer to repurchase (“Repurchase Offer Amount”) for a given Repurchase Request Deadline. If Shareholders tender for repurchase more than the Repurchase Offer Amount for a given repurchase offer, the Fund may, but is not required to, repurchase an additional number of Shares not to exceed 2% of the outstanding Shares of the Fund on the Repurchase Request Deadline. If the Fund determines not to repurchase more than the Repurchase Offer Amount, or if Shareholders tender Shares in an amount exceeding the Repurchase Offer Amount plus 2% of the outstanding Shares on the Repurchase Request Deadline, the Fund will repurchase the Shares on a pro rata basis. However, the Fund may accept all Shares tendered for repurchase by Shareholders who own less than one hundred Shares and who tender all of their Shares, before prorating other amounts tendered.

 

6 

 

The Fund may not condition a repurchase offer upon the tender of any minimum number of Shares. The Fund does not currently charge a repurchase fee, and it does not currently expect to impose a repurchase fee. However, the Fund may in the future charge a repurchase fee of up to 2.00%, subject to approval of the Board.

 

During the period ended December 31, 2020, the Fund conducted no repurchase offers. Accordingly, during the period ended December 31, 2020, there were no Shares repurchased.

 

Distributions

 

The Fund intends to make distributions necessary to qualify for taxation as a REIT. The Fund does not expect to declare any distributions until the proceeds from the Fund’s initial offering are invested and generating operating cash flow. Once the Fund begins to make distributions, the Fund expects that it will declare and make them on a quarterly basis, or more or less frequently as determined by the Board, in arrears. The Board may authorize distributions in Shares or in excess of those required for the Fund to maintain REIT tax status depending on the Fund’s financial condition and such other factors as the Board may deem relevant. The distribution rate may be modified by the Board from time to time. The Board reserves the right to change or suspend the distribution policy from time to time.

 

Dividend Reinvestment

 

The Fund will operate under a dividend reinvestment policy administered by the Adviser. Pursuant to the policy, a Shareholder’s income dividends or capital gains or other distributions, net of any applicable U.S. withholding tax, will be reinvested in the Shares of the Fund, provided that, if a Shareholder participates in an investment plan offered by the Adviser, such distributions will be reinvested in the Fund in accordance with such investment plan. Unless a Shareholder elects to “opt in” to the Fund’s dividend reinvestment policy, any dividends and other distributions paid to the Shareholder by the Fund will not be reinvested in additional Shares of the Fund under the policy. When the Fund declares a distribution payable in cash, the Shareholders enrolled in the dividend reinvestment plan will receive an equivalent amount in Shares from the Fund either newly issued or repurchased from Shareholders by the Fund or according to their investment plan, if applicable. The number of Shares to be received when distributions are reinvested will be determined by dividing the amount of the distribution (or the percentage of the distribution allocable to the Fund under the terms of the investment plan, if applicable) by the Fund’s NAV per Share next computed after the distribution is paid.

 

Shareholders who do not participate in the Fund’s dividend reinvestment policy will receive all dividends and other distributions in cash.

 

3. Related Party Arrangements

 

Fundrise Advisors, LLC, Adviser

 

The Fund entered into an Investment Management Agreement with the Adviser. Pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, and in consideration of the services provided by the Adviser to the Fund, the Adviser is entitled to a management fee (the “Management Fee”) of 0.85% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The Management Fee will be calculated and payable quarterly in arrears. As of December 31, 2020, the Fund has not yet commenced investment operations and, therefore, the Fund has not paid any Management Fee.

 

The Adviser and the Fund also entered into an Expense Limitation Agreement. Pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive its Management Fee and/or pay or reimburse the ordinary annual operating expenses of the Fund (including organizational and offering costs, but excluding property management, origination, acquisition, construction management, development, servicing, special servicing, disposition, liquidation fees or expenses and any other fees or expenses related to the operating of real property and debt and real-estate related investments, interest payments, taxes, brokerage commissions, third-party legal and audit fees, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Fund’s compliance with rules and regulations related to maintaining the Fund’s tax status as a REIT, repurchase fees, fees and expenses incurred by the Fund’s use of leverage, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary or non-routine expenses) (the “Operating Expenses”) to the extent necessary to limit the Fund’s Operating Expenses to 2.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The Adviser will be entitled to seek reimbursement from the Fund of fees waived or expenses paid or reimbursed to the Fund for a period ending three years after the date of the waiver, payment or reimbursement, subject to the limitation that a reimbursement will not cause the Fund’s Operating Expenses to exceed the lesser of (a) the expense limitation amount in effect at the time such fees were waived or expenses paid or reimbursed, or (b) the expense limitation amount in effect at the time of the reimbursement. The Expense Limitation Agreement may be terminated only by the Fund’s Board. After its initial term, the Expense Limitation Agreement may be renewed at the Adviser’s and Board’s discretion.

 

7 

 

See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Organizational and Offering Costs for the amount of organizational and offering costs incurred that may be subject to future reimbursement for the period from December 18, 2020 (Effective Date of the Fund’s Registration Statement) to December 31, 2020.

 

The Fund will reimburse the Adviser for actual expenses incurred on behalf of the Fund in connection with the selection, acquisition or origination of an investment, to the extent not reimbursed by a third-party borrower, whether or not the Fund ultimately acquires or originates the investment. The Fund will reimburse the Adviser for out-of-pocket expenses paid to third parties in connection with providing services to the Fund. This does not include the Adviser’s overhead, employee costs borne by the Adviser, utilities or technology costs. Expense reimbursements payable to the Adviser also may include expenses incurred by the Sponsor in the performance of services pursuant to a shared services agreement between the Adviser and the Sponsor, including any increases in insurance attributable to the management or operation of the Fund. For the period from December 18, 2020 (Effective Date of the Fund’s Registration Statement) to December 31, 2020, the Adviser did not incur any such costs on the Fund’s behalf, and as such no expenses are payable as of December 31, 2020.

 

The Adviser or its affiliates may be entitled to certain fees as permitted by the 1940 Act or as otherwise permitted by applicable law and regulation fees and expenses associated with the selection, acquisition or origination of real estate properties, construction, real estate development, special servicing of non-performing assets (including, but not limited to, reimbursement of non-ordinary expenses and employee time required to special service a non-performing asset), and the sale of equity investments in real estate. No such fees were incurred or paid to the Adviser or its affiliates for the period from December 18, 2020 (Effective Date of the Fund’s Registration Statement) to December 31, 2020.

 

The Adviser and Rise Companies entered into a Shared Services Agreement where Rise Companies will provide the Adviser with the personnel, services and resources necessary for the Adviser to comply with its obligations and responsibilities under the Second Amended and Restated Operating Agreement (“Operating Agreement’) and Investment Management Agreement, which includes responsibility for operations of the Fund and performance of such services and activities relating to the investments and operations of the Fund as may be appropriate, including without limitation those services and activities listed in the Operating Agreement and Investment Management Agreement.

Additional Information (Unaudited):

 

1. Approval of Investment Management Agreement

 

Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), requires that each registered fund’s board of directors, including a majority of those directors who are not “interested persons” of the fund, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Directors”), initially approve, and annually review and consider the continuation of, the fund’s investment advisory agreement. At meetings held on January 3, 2020 (the “January Meeting”) and November 20, 2020 (the “November Meeting” and together with the January Meeting, the “Organizational Meeting”), the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Fundrise Real Estate Interval Fund, LLC (the “Fund”) considered and discussed a proposed investment management agreement (the "Agreement") between Fundrise Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”) and the Fund. At the November Meeting, the Board, including each of the Independent Directors, unanimously voted to approve the Agreement for an initial two-year period.  The initial two-year term of the Agreement commenced on December 18, 2020.

 

In the months preceding the Organizational Meeting, the Board reviewed written responses from the Adviser to questions posed to the Adviser by counsel on behalf of the Directors and supporting materials relating to those questions and responses. In addition, the Board considered such additional information as it deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the Agreement. The Board also considered the materials and in-person presentations by Fund officers and representatives of the Adviser received at the Organizational Meeting concerning the Agreement.

 

In determining whether to approve the Agreement, the members of the Board reviewed and evaluated information and factors they believed to be relevant and appropriate through the exercise of their reasonable business judgment. While individual members of the Board may have weighed certain factors differently, the Board’s determination to approve the Agreements was based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Board with respect to the approval of the Agreements. The Board was also furnished with an analysis of its fiduciary obligations in connection with its evaluation of the Agreements and, throughout the evaluation process, the Board was assisted by counsel for the Fund. In connection with their deliberations, the Independent Directors met separately in executive session to review the relevant materials. A more detailed summary of the important, but not necessarily all, factors the Board considered with respect to its approval of the Agreements is provided below.

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

 

The Board considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the Fund by the Adviser. The Board considered, among other things, the terms of the Agreement and the range of services to be provided by the Adviser. The Board noted the non-investment advisory services to be provided by the Adviser consistent with the terms of the Agreement, including the supervision and coordination of the Fund’s service providers and the provision of administrative, management and other services. The Board considered the Adviser’s reputation, organizational structure, resources and overall financial strength and ability to carry out its obligations under the Agreement. The Board also considered that, although the Fund would be the first registered investment company managed by the Adviser, the Adviser had extensive experience managing other similar pooled investment vehicles that invest in real estate-related assets (the “Other Investment Vehicles”).

 

The Board considered the Adviser’s professional personnel who will provide services to the Fund, including the Adviser’s ability and experience in attracting and retaining qualified personnel to service the Fund. The Board also considered the compliance program and compliance record of the Adviser. The Board noted the Adviser’s support of the Fund’s compliance control structure, including the resources that will be devoted by the Adviser in support of the Fund’s obligations pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act and the efforts of the Adviser to combat cybersecurity risks. The Board also considered the Adviser’s investments in business continuity planning designed to benefit the Fund. The Board noted the Adviser’s commitment to maintaining high quality systems and expending substantial resources to prepare for and respond to ongoing changes to the market, regulatory and control environments in which the Fund and its service providers operate.

 

The Board considered the day-to-day portfolio management services that the Adviser will provide to the Fund. In this regard, the Board considered, among other things, the Adviser’s investment philosophy and processes, investment research capabilities and resources, performance record, experience, trading operations and approach to managing risk, including with respect to investments in real estate-related assets. The Board considered the quality and experience of the Fund’s portfolio managers, the number of Other Investment Vehicles managed by the portfolio managers, and the Adviser’s method for compensating the portfolio managers. Moreover, the Board considered that the Adviser would oversee potential conflicts of interest between the Fund’s investments and those of the Other Investment Vehicles.

 

11 

 

 

In addition, the Board considered the assumption of business, entrepreneurial, overall managerial and other risks by the Adviser in connection with launching and managing the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund is a closed-end interval fund that operates in accordance with the framework set forth in Rule 23c-3 under the 1940 Act. In this connection, the Board considered the special attributes of the Fund relative to traditional mutual funds and the benefits that are expected to be realized from an investment in the Fund, rather than a traditional mutual fund. The Board also considered the resources devoted by the Adviser and its affiliates in developing and maintaining an infrastructure necessary to support the on-going operations of the Fund.

 

After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by the Adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the Agreement.

 

Fund Performance

 

The Board noted that the Fund is newly formed and did not have a prior performance record. The Board considered the investment performance of the Adviser and the Fund’s portfolio managers, including, for purposes of considering the investment skill and experience of the Fund’s portfolio managers, performance data showing the portfolio manager’s capabilities in managing the Other Investment Vehicles. The Board reviewed the performance of each Other Investment Vehicle over different time periods presented in the materials and evaluated the Adviser’s analysis of the Other Investment Vehicle’s performance for these time periods. The Board noted that the Adviser did not manage a registered investment company that uses an investment strategy similar to that proposed for the Fund. The Board also considered performance data for an appropriate group of peer closed-end interval funds (“Peer Group”) identified by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of investment company data.

 

Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied that the Adviser has the capability of providing satisfactory investment performance for the Fund.

 

Management Fees and Expenses

 

The Board reviewed and considered the proposed management fee rate to be paid by the Fund to the Adviser under the Agreement and the Fund’s anticipated total expense ratio. The Board received and reviewed a report prepared by Broadridge comparing the Fund’s proposed management fee rate and anticipated total expense ratio relative to the Fund’s Peer Group. In considering the reasonableness of the Fund’s proposed management fee and anticipated total expense ratio, the Board considered that, according to the information provided by Broadridge, the Fund’s contractual management fee, actual management fee and anticipated total expense ratio were each below the median of the Fund’s Peer Group. The Board also noted the Adviser’s contractual undertaking to limit the Fund’s operating expenses to a specified level through an expense limitation agreement with the Fund.

 

The Board received and considered a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the closed-end interval funds in the Peer Group. While the Board recognized that comparisons between the Fund and its Peer Group may be imprecise given, among other differences, the different service levels and characteristics of registered funds and the different business model and cost structure of the Adviser, the comparative, independently-selected information provided by Broadridge assisted the Board in evaluating the reasonableness of the Fund’s proposed management fee and anticipated total expense ratio.

 

The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by the Adviser to the Other Investment Vehicles. The Board considered the explanations provided the Adviser about any differences between the Adviser’s services to be provided to the Fund and the services it provides to the Other Investment Vehicles. In this regard, the Board reviewed information about the generally broader scope of services and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing registered funds compared with those associated with managing assets of non-registered funds such as the Other Investment Vehicles. The Board also reviewed information about structural, operational and other differences between the Other Investment Vehicles and the Fund.

  

12

 

Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, the Board concluded that the compensation payable to the Adviser under the Agreement was reasonable.

 

Profitability

 

The Board received and considered information about the Adviser’s projected costs of launching the Fund and the projected profitability to the Adviser from providing services to the Fund. The Board received and considered information regarding the methodologies and estimates used by the Adviser in calculating and reporting profitability, including a description of the methodology used to allocate certain expenses. In evaluating the estimated profitability to the Adviser from providing services to the Fund, the Board considered the Adviser’s representation that the level of estimated profitability was fair and reasonable based on the nature and quality of the services to be provided to shareholders. The Board also noted that the actual profitability of the Fund to the Adviser would depend on, among other factors, the growth of the Fund’s assets under management.

 

Based on its review, the Board did not deem the estimated profits reported by the Adviser from providing services to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent the Board from approving the Agreement.

 

Economies of Scale

 

The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Fund’s assets grow and whether the Fund’s fee structure reflects these economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders of the Fund. In this regard, the Board noted the absence of any breakpoints in the Agreement’s fee structure but considered that expense limitations and fee waivers that reduce the Fund’s expenses can have the same effect as breakpoints in sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders. In addition, the Board considered that initially setting competitive fee rates, pricing the Fund to scale at inception and making additional investments in the business intended to enhance services available to shareholders are other means of sharing potential economies of scale with shareholders.

 

The Board concluded that the Adviser’s arrangements with respect to the Fund constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders. The Board noted that it will have the opportunity to periodically reexamine whether the Fund has achieved any economies of scale and the appropriateness of any potential future management fee breakpoints as part of its future review of the Agreement.

 

“Fall-Out” Benefits

 

The Board received and considered information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits that the Adviser and its affiliates may receive as a result of their relationships with the Fund. The Board noted that ancillary benefits could include, among others, benefits directly attributable to other relationships with the Fund and benefits potentially derived from an increase in the Adviser’s and its affiliates’ business as a result of their relationships with the Fund.

 

The Board noted that the Fund would be among the investment options available to investors participating in certain investment plans sponsored by the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board considered that the Adviser receives asset-based fees from plan participants, which the Board considered could be viewed as an indirect benefit to the extent investments in the Fund support these plans. The Board also considered information about certain fees that the Adviser or its affiliates may be entitled to receive in connection with the selection, acquisition or origination of real estate property investments by the Fund.

 

Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, the Board did not deem any ancillary benefits that may be received by the Adviser and its affiliates to be unreasonable.

Conclusion

 

At the Organizational Meeting, based on its deliberations and its evaluation of the factors described above and other information it believed relevant, the Board unanimously approved the Agreement.

Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies

 

The Registrant’s Board of Directors believes that the voting of proxies with respect to securities held by the Registrant is an important element of the overall investment process. The Board has adopted a Proxy Voting Policy (the “Registrant’s Proxy Voting Policy”) on behalf of the Registrant which delegates the responsibility for decisions regarding proxy voting for securities held by the Registrant to Fundrise Advisors, LLC, the Registrant’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”), subject to the Board’s continuing oversight. The Registrant’s Chief Compliance Officer shall ensure that the Adviser has adopted a Proxy Voting Policy, which it will use to vote proxies for securities held by the Registrant (the “Adviser’s Proxy Voting Policy”) in a manner that is consistent with the Registrant’s Proxy Voting Policy. The Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, must approve the Adviser’s Proxy Voting Policy as it relates to the Registrant. Due to the nature of the securities and other assets in which the Registrant intends to invests, proxy voting decisions for the Registrant may be limited.

 

The Registrant believes that the voting of proxies is an important part of portfolio management as it represents an opportunity for shareholders to make their voices heard and to influence the direction of a company. The Registrant is committed to voting proxies received in a manner consistent with the best interests of the Registrant’s shareholders. The Registrant believes that the Adviser is in the best position to make individual voting decisions for the Registrant consistent with the Registrant’s Proxy Voting Policy. Therefore, subject to the oversight of the Board, the Registrant has delegated the following duties to the Adviser pursuant to the Registrant’s Proxy Voting Policy:

 

·to make the proxy voting decisions for the Registrant, in accordance with the Adviser’s Proxy Voting Policy;

 

·to assist the Registrant in disclosing its proxy voting record as required by Rule 30b1-4 under the 1940 Act, including providing the following information for each matter with respect to which the Registrant is entitled to vote: (a) information identifying the matter voted on; (b) whether the matter was proposed by the issuer or by a security holder; (c) whether and how the Registrant cast its vote; and (d) whether the Registrant cast its vote for or against management; and

 

·to provide to the Board, at least annually, a record of each proxy voted by the Adviser on behalf of the Registrant, including a report on the resolution of all proxies identified by the Adviser as involving a conflict of interest.

 

In cases where a matter with respect to which the Registrant was entitled to vote presents a conflict between the interest of the Registrant’s shareholders, on the one hand, and those of the Adviser or its affiliate, on the other hand, the Registrant shall always vote in the best interest of the Registrant’s shareholders. For purposes of the Registrant’s Proxy Voting Policy, a vote shall be considered in the best interest of the Registrant’s shareholders when a vote is cast consistent with the specific voting policy as set forth in the Adviser’s Voting Policy, provided such specific voting policy was approved by the Board. The Adviser shall review with the Board any proposed material changes or amendments to the Adviser’s Proxy Voting Policy prior to implementation.

 

The Registrant will file a Form N-PX with the Registrant’s complete proxy voting record for the 12 months ended June 30, no later than August 31 of each year.

 

The copy of the Adviser’s Proxy Voting Policy is set forth below.

 

Adviser Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures

 

Fundrise Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), as a matter of policy and as a fiduciary to the Fundrise Real Estate Interval Fund, LLC (the “Fund”), has the responsibility for voting proxies for securities consistent with the best interests of the Fund. The Adviser maintains written procedures as to the handling, voting and reporting of proxy voting and makes appropriate disclosures about the Adviser’s proxy procedures and the availability of the Adviser’s proxy voting record. In general, the Adviser does not receive proxies to be voted due to the nature of its investments on behalf of the Fund; the procedures maintained by the Adviser are intended to comply with Rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”) in the infrequent instance that the Adviser receives a proxy, or other action requiring a vote, from a security held by the Fund.

1.Background and Description

 

In general, proxy voting is an important right of shareholders and reasonable care and diligence must be undertaken to ensure that such rights are properly and timely exercised. Investment advisers registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and which exercise voting authority with respect to client securities, are required by Rule 206(4)-6 under the Advisers Act to (a) adopt and implement written policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to ensure that client securities are voted in the best interests of clients, which must include how an adviser addresses material conflicts that may arise between an adviser’s interests and those of its clients; (b) disclose to clients how they may obtain information from the adviser with respect to the voting of proxies for their securities; (c) describe to clients a summary of its proxy voting policies and procedures and, upon request, furnish a copy to its clients; and (d) maintain certain records relating to the adviser’s proxy voting activities when the adviser does have proxy voting authority.

 

The purpose of these procedures (the “Procedures”) is to set forth the principles, guidelines and procedures by which the Adviser may vote the securities held by the Fund for which the Adviser may exercise voting authority and discretion. These Procedures have been designed to ensure that proxies are voted in the best interests of the Fund in accordance with fiduciary duties and Rule 206(4)-6 under the Advisers Act.

 

2.Responsibility

 

The Adviser’s Chief Compliance Officer (together with any designees, the “CCO”) has responsibility for the implementation and monitoring of the Procedures, including associated practices, disclosures and recordkeeping.

 

3.Procedures

 

The Adviser has adopted the procedures below to implement its proxy voting policy and to monitor and ensure that the policy is observed and amended or updated, as appropriate.

 

Voting Procedures

 

In the event the Adviser’s personnel receive proxy materials on behalf of the Fund, the personnel will forward such materials to the appropriate members of the Adviser’s Investment Committee to vote the proxy. The Adviser’s Investment Committee will analyze the proxy materials and determine how the Adviser should vote the proxy in accordance with applicable voting guidelines below. The CCO is responsible for coordinating this process in a timely and appropriate manner and delivering the proxy prior to the voting deadline.

 

The Adviser may engage a third-party proxy research and voting service to assist it in researching, recordkeeping and voting of proxies, subject to appropriate oversight.

 

Proxy Voting Guidelines

 

The following guidelines (the “Guidelines”) will inform the Adviser’s proxy voting decisions:

 

  · The guiding principle by which the Adviser votes on all matters submitted to security holders is the maximization of the ultimate economic value of the Fund’s holdings. The Adviser does not permit voting decisions to be influenced in any manner that is contrary to, or dilutive of, the guiding principle set forth above.

 

  · The Adviser will seek to avoid situations where there is any material conflicts of interest affecting its voting decisions. Any material conflicts of interest, regardless of whether actual or perceived, will be addressed in accordance with the conflict resolution procedures (see below).

 

3

 

 

  · The Adviser generally will vote on all matters presented to security holders in any proxy. However, Adviser reserves the right to abstain on any particular vote or otherwise withhold its vote on any matter if, in the judgment of Adviser, the costs associated with voting such proxy outweigh the benefits to the Fund or if the circumstances make such an abstention or withholding otherwise advisable and in the best interest of the Fund, in the judgment of Adviser.

 

  · Proxies will be voted in accordance with the Fund’s proxy voting policies and procedures, any applicable investment policies or restrictions of the Fund and, to the extent applicable, any resolutions or other instructions approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors.

 

  · Absent any legal or regulatory requirement to the contrary, the Adviser generally will seek to maintain the confidentiality of the particular votes that it casts on behalf of the Fund; however, the Adviser recognizes that the Fund must disclose the votes cast on its behalf in accordance with all legal and regulatory requirements.

 

While these Guidelines are intended to provide a benchmark for voting standards, each vote is ultimately cast on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration the Adviser’s contractual obligations to the Fund and all other relevant facts and circumstances at the time of the vote (such that these Guidelines maybe overridden to the extent Adviser believes appropriate).

 

Conflicts of Interest

 

In certain instances, a potential or actual material conflict of interest may arise when the Adviser votes a proxy. As a fiduciary to the Fund, the Adviser takes these conflicts very seriously. While the Adviser’s primary goal in addressing any such conflict is to ensure that proxy votes are cast in the Fund’s best interest and are not affected by the Adviser’s potential or actual material conflict, there are a number of courses that the Adviser may take. The final decision about which course to follow shall be made by the Adviser’s Investment Committee. The Investment Committee may cause any of the following actions, among others, to be taken in that regard:

 

  · vote the relevant proxy in accordance with the vote indicated by the Guidelines;

  · vote the relevant proxy as an exception to Guidelines, provided that the reasons behind the voting decision are in the best interest of the Fund, are reasonably documented and are approved by the Adviser’s CCO;

  · engage an unaffiliated third-party proxy advisor to provide a voting recommendation or direct the proxy advisor to vote the relevant proxy in accordance with its independent assessment of the matter; or

  · “echo vote” or “mirror vote” the relevant proxy in the same proportion as the votes of other proxy holders.

 

Disclosure

 

The Adviser will provide conspicuously displayed information in the Fund’s registration statement summarizing these Procedures, including a statement that shareholders may request information regarding how the Adviser voted the Fund’s proxies, and may request a copy of these Procedures.

 

Requests for Information

 

All requests for information regarding proxy votes, or these Procedures, received by any Adviser personnel should be forwarded to the Adviser’s CCO. In response to any request from a Fund shareholder, the CCO will prepare a written response with such information as the CCO determines, in its sole discretion, should be shared with the Fund shareholder.

 

Recordkeeping

 

The Adviser’s CCO shall retain the following records:

 

  · These Procedures and any amendments;

  · Each proxy statement that the Adviser receives;

  · A record of each vote that the Adviser casts;

 

4

 

 

  · Any document the Adviser created that was material to deciding how to vote a proxy, or that memorializes that decision; and

  · A copy of each written request for information on how the Adviser voted proxies, and a copy of any written response.

Conflicts of Interest

 

Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities with respect to more than one investment account. Portfolio managers who manage other investment accounts in addition to a Registrant may be presented with the potential conflicts summarized below. The Adviser has adopted various policies and procedures designed to address potential conflicts of interest and intended to provide for fair and equitable management, also summarized below.

 

General. The officers and directors of the Adviser and the key real estate and debt finance professionals of Rise Companies who perform services for the Registrant on behalf of the Adviser are also officers, directors, managers, and/or key professionals of Rise Companies and other Fundrise entities (such as the eREITs® and the Fundrise eFundTM). These persons have legal obligations with respect to those entities that are similar to their obligations to the Registrant. In the future, these persons and other affiliates of Rise Companies may organize other real estate-related or debt-related programs and acquire for their own account real estate-related investments that may be suitable for the Registrant. In addition, Rise Companies may grant equity interests in the Adviser to certain management personnel performing services for the Adviser.

 

Payment of Certain Fees and Expenses of the Adviser. The Management Fee paid to Adviser will be based on the Registrant’s NAV, which will be calculated by Rise Companies’ internal accountants and asset management team. The Adviser may benefit by the Registrant retaining ownership of its assets at times when shareholders may be better served by the sale or disposition of the Registrant’s assets in order to avoid a reduction in the Registrant’s NAV.

 

Allocation of Investment Opportunities. The Registrant relies on the Adviser’s executive officers and Rise Companies’ key real estate and debt finance professionals who act on behalf of the Adviser to identify suitable investments. Rise Companies and other Fundrise entities also rely on these same key real estate and debt finance professionals. Rise Companies has in the past, and expects to continue in the future, to offer other Fundrise Platform investment opportunities, primarily through the Fundrise Platform, including offerings that acquire or invest in commercial real estate (“CRE”) equity investments, including multifamily residential properties, CRE loans, and other select real estate-related assets.

 

These additional programs may have investment criteria that compete with the Registrant.

 

6

 

 

If a sale, financing, investment or other business opportunity would be suitable for more than one program, Rise Companies will allocate it using its business judgment. Any allocation of this type may involve the consideration of a number of factors that Rise Companies determines to be relevant.

 

Except under any policies that may be adopted by the Adviser, which policies will be designed to minimize conflicts among the programs and other investment opportunities provided on the Fundrise Platform, no program or Fundrise Platform investment opportunity (including the Registrant) will have any duty, responsibility or obligation to refrain from:

 

·engaging in the same or similar activities or lines of business as any program or Fundrise Platform investment opportunity;
·doing business with any potential or actual tenant, lender, purchaser, supplier, customer or competitor of any program or Fundrise Platform investment opportunity;
·engaging in, or refraining from, any other activities whatsoever relating to any of the potential or actual tenants, lenders, purchasers, suppliers or customers of any program or Fundrise Platform investment opportunity;
·establishing material commercial relationships with another program or Fundrise Platform investment opportunity; or
·making operational and financial decisions that could be considered to be detrimental to another program or Fundrise Platform investment opportunity.

 

In addition, any decisions by the Adviser to renew, extend, modify or terminate an agreement or arrangement, or enter into similar agreements or arrangements in the future, may benefit one program more than another program or limit or impair the ability of any program to pursue business opportunities. In addition, third parties may require as a condition to their arrangements or agreements with or related to any one particular program that such arrangements or agreements include or not include another program, as the case may be. Any of these decisions may benefit one program more than another program.

 

The Adviser may determine it appropriate for the Registrant and one or more Fundrise entities (such as the eREITs® and eFundTM) to participate in an investment opportunity. To the extent the Fund is able to make co-investments with other Fundrise entities, these co-investment opportunities may give rise to conflicts of interest or perceived conflicts of interest among the Registrant and the other participating Fundrise entities. To mitigate these conflicts, the Adviser will seek to execute such transactions for all of the participating entities, including the Registrant, on a fair and equitable basis, taking into account such factors as available capital, portfolio concentrations, suitability and any other factors deemed appropriate. However, there can be no assurance the risks posed by these conflicts of interest will be mitigated.

 

In order to avoid any actual or perceived conflicts of interest among the Fundrise Platform investment opportunities and with the Adviser’s directors, officers and affiliates, the Registrant has adopted a conflicts of interest policy to specifically address some of the conflicts relating to the Registrant’s activities. There is no assurance that these policies will be adequate to address all of the conflicts that may arise or will address such conflicts in a manner that is favorable to the Fund. The Adviser may modify, suspend or rescind the policies set forth in the conflicts policy, including any resolution implementing the provisions of the conflicts policy, in each case, without a vote of the Fund’s shareholders.

 

Allocation of the Registrant Affiliates’ Time. The Registrant relies on Rise Companies’ key real estate and debt finance professionals who act on behalf of the Adviser, including Mr. Benjamin S. Miller, for the day-to-day operation of the Registrant’s business. Mr. Benjamin S. Miller is also the Chief Executive Officer of Rise Companies and other Fundrise entities. As a result of his interests in other Fundrise entities, his obligations to other investors and the fact that he engages in and he will continue to engage in other business activities on behalf of himself and others, Mr. Benjamin S. Miller will face conflicts of interest in allocating his time among the Registrant, the Adviser and other Fundrise entities and other business activities in which he is involved. However, the Registrant believes that the Adviser and its affiliates have sufficient real estate and debt finance professionals to fully discharge their responsibilities to the Fundrise entities for which they work.

 

7

 

 

Receipt of Fees and Other Compensation by the Adviser and its Affiliates. The Adviser and its affiliates will receive fees from the Registrant. These fees could influence the Adviser’s advice to the Registrant as well as the judgment of affiliates of the Adviser, some of whom also serve as the Adviser’s officers and directors and the key real estate and debt finance professionals of Rise Companies. Among other matters, these compensation arrangements could affect their judgment with respect to:

 

·the continuation, renewal or enforcement of provisions in the LLC Agreement involving the Adviser and its affiliates or the Investment Management Agreement;

·the offering of shares by the Registrant, which entitles the Adviser to a Management Fee and other fees;

·acquisitions of investments and originations of equity or loans at higher purchase prices, which entitle the Adviser to higher acquisition fees and origination fees regardless of the quality or performance of the investment or loan;

·borrowings up to the Registrant’s stated borrowing policy to acquire investments and to originate loans, which borrowings will increase the Management Fee payable by the Registrant to the Adviser;

·whether the Registrant seeks necessary approvals to internalize the Registrant’s management, which may entail acquiring assets (such as office space, furnishings and technology costs) and the key real estate and debt finance professionals of Fundrise Companies who are performing services for the Registrant on behalf of the Adviser for consideration that would be negotiated at that time and may result in these real estate and debt finance professionals receiving more compensation from the Registrant than they currently receive from Rise Companies; and

·whether and when the Registrant merges or consolidates its assets with other funds, including funds affiliated with the Adviser.

 

Duties Owed by Some of the Registrant’s Affiliates to the Adviser and the Adviser’s Affiliates. The Adviser’s officers and directors and the key real estate and debt finance professionals of Rise Companies performing services on behalf of the Adviser are also officers, directors, managers and/or key professionals of:

 

·Rise Companies;

·the Adviser;

·Fundrise, LLC;

·other investment programs sponsored by Rise Companies; and

·other Fundrise entities.

 

As a result, they owe duties to each of these entities, their shareholders, members and limited partners. These duties may from time to time conflict with the duties that they owe to the Registrant.

 

(a)(3) Each of the Registrant’s portfolio managers receives compensation for his services, including services performed for the Registrant on behalf of the Adviser, from Rise Companies. In an effort to retain key personnel, Rise Companies has structured its compensation plans for portfolio managers (and other key personnel) in a manner that it believes is competitive with other similar investment management firms. The portfolio managers are compensated with a fixed base salary and discretionary bonus based on, among other factors, the overall performance of Rise Companies. The bonus structure is formula driven and is not tied to the investment returns generated by, or the value of assets held in, the Registrant or any of the other accounts managed.

 

(a)(4) As of December 31, 2020, the Registrant’s portfolio managers did not beneficially own any shares of the Registrant.

 

Item 9. Purchase of Equity Securities by Closed-End Management Investment Company and Affiliated Purchasers

 

Not applicable. The Registrant has not commenced investment operations as of December 31, 2020.

 

Item 10. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

FINANCIAL OFFICER CODE OF ETHICS

 

1.Introduction

 

The reputation and integrity of Fundrise Real Estate Interval Fund, LLC (the “Fund”) are valuable assets that are vital to the Fund’s success. The Fund has adopted this Code of Ethics (the “Code”) to comply with Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) thereunder. This Code is in addition to, not in replacement of, the Code of Ethics adopted by the Fund for access persons pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”).

 

The Fund requires its Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial/Accounting Officer, or other Fund officers performing similar functions (collectively, the “Principal Officers”) to maintain the highest ethical and legal standards while performing their duties and responsibilities to the Fund, with particular emphasis on those duties that relate to the preparation and reporting of the financial information of the Fund. The principles and responsibilities below shall govern the professional conduct of the Principal Officers:

 

2.Honest and Ethical Conduct

 

The Principal Officers shall act with honesty and integrity, avoiding actual or apparent conflicts of interest in personal and professional relationships, and shall report any material transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to such conflict between their interests and those of the Fund to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Fund (the “Board”) or to the full Board and, in addition, to any other appropriate person or entity that may reasonably be expected to deal with any conflict of interest in a timely and expeditious manner.

 

The Principal Officers shall act in good faith, responsibly, with due care, competence and diligence, without misrepresenting material facts or allowing their independent judgment to be subordinated or compromised.

 

3.Financial Records and Reporting

 

The Principal Officers shall provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and/or other documents to be filed with or submitted to the SEC or other applicable body by the Fund, or that is otherwise publicly disclosed or communicated. The Principal Officers shall comply with applicable rules and regulations of federal, state, and local governments, and other appropriate private and public regulatory agencies.

 

The Principal Officers shall respect the confidentiality of information acquired in the course of their work and shall not disclose such information except when authorized or legally obligated to disclose. The Principal Officers will not use confidential information acquired in the course of their duties as Principal Officers.

 

The Principal Officers shall share knowledge and maintain skills important and relevant to the Fund’s needs; shall proactively promote ethical behavior of the Fund’s officers and with industry peers and associates; and shall maintain control over and responsibly manage assets and resources employed or entrusted to them by the Fund.

4.Compliance with this Code of Ethics

 

The Principal Officers shall promptly report any violations of this Code to the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (the “CCO”), the Audit Committee of the Board or the full Board and shall be held accountable for strict adherence to this Code. A proven failure to uphold the standards stated herein shall be grounds for such sanctions as shall be reasonably imposed by the Board.

 

Principal Officers who report violations or suspected violations in good faith will not be subject to retaliation of any kind. Reported violations will be investigated and addressed promptly and will be treated confidentially to the extent possible.

 

5.Amendment and Waiver

 

This Code may only be amended or modified by approval of the Board. Any substantive amendment that is not technical or administrative in nature or any material waiver, implicit or otherwise, of any provision of this Code of Ethics, shall be communicated publicly in accordance with Item 2 of Form N-CSR under the 1940 Act.

 

6.Questions about the Code

 

The Board has designated the CCO to implement and administer this Code. Any questions about this Code should be directed to the CCO.
