INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY

Superior investment performance is not our primary goal, but rather superior performance with less-than-commensurate risk. Above average gains in good times are not proof of a manager's skill; it takes superior performance in bad times to prove that those good-time gains were earned through skill, not simply the acceptance of above average risk. Thus, rather than merely searching for prospective profits, we place the highest priority on preventing losses. It is our overriding belief that, especially in the opportunistic markets in which we work, "if we avoid the losers, the winners will take care of themselves."

DISCLOSURES

SUMMARY OF RISK FACTORS

Oaktree Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (“Oaktree REIT”) is a non-traded REIT that seeks to invest in a diversified portfolio of income-producing real estate and real estate-related debt investments; generate an attractive, stable level of current income for regular distributions to our stockholders; and invest in assets with long-term growth potential to achieve attractive risk-adjusted total returns, with an emphasis on downside protection. This investment involves a high degree of risk. These securities should only be purchased if you can afford to lose your complete investment. Please read the prospectus for a description of the risks associated with an investment in Oaktree REIT. These risks include but are not limited to the following:
  • Oaktree REIT has no prior operating history and we cannot assure you that we will achieve our investment objectives.
  • As a “blind pool” offering, you will not have an opportunity to evaluate our investments before we make them.
  • We do not intend to list our shares of common stock for trading on an exchange or other trading market. The only likely way to dispose of your shares will be by repurchases from us since there is no public trading market for shares of our common stock. Through our share repurchase plan, stockholders may request that we repurchase their shares on a monthly basis, but we are not obligated to repurchase any shares and may choose to repurchase only some, or even none, of the requested shares in any particular month in our discretion. Repurchases will be subject to available liquidity and other significant restrictions and our board of directors may modify, suspend or terminate our share repurchase plan if deemed to be in our best interest and the best interest of our stockholders. Our shares should be considered as having limited to no liquidity.
  • Distributions may be funded by sources other than cash flow from operations, including, without limitation, the sale of assets, borrowings, return of capital or offering proceeds, although we cannot guarantee that we will make distributions. We believe that the likelihood that we pay distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations will be higher in the early stages of the offering.
  • After the escrow period, the purchase and repurchase price for shares of our common stock will generally be based on the prior month’s net asset value (“NAV”) and not on any public trading market. While there will be independent annual appraisals of our properties, the properties’ appraisal is inherently subjective, and our NAV may not accurately reflect the actual price at which our assets could be liquidated on any given day. We may offer shares at a price that we believe more appropriately reflects the NAV per share of such common stock rather than the prior month’s NAV per share, including updates to a previously disclosed offering price, in cases where we believe there has been a material change (positive or negative) to our NAV per share since the end of the prior month. Each class of shares may have a different NAV per share.
  • We have no employees and are dependent on Oaktree Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”) to conduct our operations. Oaktree will face conflicts of interest as a result of, among other things, the allocation of investment opportunities among us and other real estate accounts, the allocation of time of its investment professionals and the substantial fees that we will pay to the Advisor.
  • As a “best efforts” offering, our ability to achieve our investment objectives could be adversely affected if we are not able to raise a substantial amount of capital in the near term.
  • Principal and interest payments on borrowings will reduce funds available for distribution or investment. 
  • There are limits on the ownership and transferability of our shares.
  • We do not own the Oaktree name, but we are permitted to use it as part of our corporate name pursuant to a trademark license agreement with an affiliate of Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. (together with its affiliates, “Oaktree”). Use of the name by other parties or the termination of our trademark license agreement may harm our business.
  • An investment in Oaktree REIT is not an investment in fixed income. Fixed income has material differences from an investment in a non-traded REIT, including those related to vehicle structure, investment objectives and restrictions, risks, fluctuation of principal, safety, guarantees or insurance, fees and expenses, liquidity and tax treatment.
  • We intend to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with December 31of the first taxable year in which proceeds from our initial offering are released from escrow. However, if we fail to qualify as a REIT and no relief provisions apply, our NAV and cash available for distribution to our stockholders could materially decrease as a result of becoming subject to corporate income taxes. 
  • Subject to maintaining our REIT qualification and the limitations in our charter, we may elect to leverage our investments on a recourse or non-recourse basis or otherwise engage in certain investment activities that involve the use of leverage, which may increase losses.
  • Investing in commercial real estate involves certain risks, including but not limited to: bankruptcy, financial difficulty or lease default of a major tenant; interest rate fluctuations and lack of availability of financing; adverse national real estate trends, including increasing vacancy rates; and changes in supply and demand fundamentals. 
  • Oaktree REIT will directly own private real estate. Individual investors will own shares of common stock in Oaktree REIT as opposed to direct ownership of private, non-traded real estate.
  • Numerical data is approximate and as of December 31, 2018 (unless otherwise noted). The words “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to Oaktree Real Estate Income Trust, Inc., unless the context requires otherwise. Numerical data relating to Oaktree includes Oaktree Real Estate-led activities in public and private portfolio companies (unless otherwise noted).

IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE ABOUT OTHER OAKTREE REAL ESTATE FUNDS

This sales material includes information related to prior investments the Oaktree Real Estate group has made, in which the Oaktree REIT will not have any interest. While the investment programs of other Oaktree real estate accounts and our investment strategy each involve real estate-related investments and overlapping personnel, each of these accounts and strategies has distinct investment activities. Oaktree’s experience in managing other Oaktree real estate accounts and other Oaktree accounts is not necessarily applicable to us. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully identify, make and realize any particular investment or generate returns for our investors (or that such returns will be commensurate with the risks associated with an investment in us).

Oaktree or its affiliates own or have invested in the properties depicted on this website. By investing in Oaktree REIT, investors will not have an interest in these properties.
