CBRE Global Real Estate Income Fund — Cyborg Score 6/10
Solid
Closed-End Real Estate Funds
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.
