USQ Core Real Estate Fund

Access to high-quality private real estate

Why invest in the USQ Core Real Estate Fund?

The USQ Core Real Estate Fund is a continuously offered closed-end interval fund that provides investors with access to institutional private real estate by investing in a strategic blend of NCREIF Fund Index - Open-End Diversified Core Equity (NFI-ODCE)* constituents and select institutional investment vehicles outside of the index. We've carefully selected only investments that focus on "core" private equity real estate, utilizing low leverage and investing primarily in stable U.S. operating properties with high occupancy rates, leased to tenants with high credit ratings. The result is a strong portfolio diversifier that aims to achieve compelling long-term returns.

  • Access. The Fund seeks to provide both current income and capital appreciation through access to carefully selected private real estate investments.

  • Low correlation.* Diversification benefits may be obtained when private real estate is added to a traditional equity/bond portfolio.

  • Ease of use. Quick, uncomplicated access with daily purchases, no accreditation, no sub docs, and 1099 tax reporting.

  • Moderate volatility. The underlying private real estate investments concentrate on commercial properties with low leverage and high occupancy, and which are generally leased to credit tenants.

  • Tax efficiency. The real estate industry has long enjoyed uniquely favorable tax treatment through depreciation and other deductions.

The USQ Core Real Estate Fund's primary investment objective is to generate a return comprised of both current income and long-term capital appreciation with moderate volatility and low correlation to the broader markets.

*Definitions

NFI-ODCE The NCREIF Fund Index — Open-end Diversified Core Equity (NFI-ODCE) consists of private real estate equity funds that meet certain criteria with respect to such things as leverage (less than 35%), operations (at least 75% invested in properties that are 75% or more leased), sector and geographic diversification, and investment in core real estate (at least 75% in office, industrial, residential and retail properties).

Correlation is a statistic that measures the extent to which two asset classes (or securities) move in relation to each other. Two asset classes that have a high correlation move in the same direction as markets rise and fall. Two asset classes with negative or inverse correlation move in opposite directions as markets rise and fall. The closer the correlation statistic between two asset classes is to zero, the more independently the asset classes move with respect to each other.

One cannot invest directly in an index.
