CBRE Global Real Estate Income Fund — Cyborg Score 6/10
Solid
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)
Strategic Profile
IGR's global diversification may mitigate portfolio risk and generate more consistent performance over time. The fund seeks to pay distributions to shareholders on a monthly basis which may be taken in cash or reinvested. Its portfolio includes residential, industrial, data centers, malls, healthcare, offices, towers, shopping centers, hotels, and self-storage.
Cyborg Score Rationale
The fund reported a current annualized distribution rate of 15.8% as of January 2026, demonstrating strong income generation. However, estimated allocation for Q1 2026 shows approximately 91% return of capital and 9% net investment income, indicating heavy reliance on capital distributions rather than sustainable earnings, which presents sustainability concerns.
