Clarion Partners Real Estate Income Fund (CPRDX) NPORT-PClarion Partners Real Estate Income Fund Inc. (Sep 2024 report)

Clarion Partners Real Estate Income Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), that continuously offers its shares. The Fund is a Maryland corporation and has elected 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 Board of Directors authorized 400 million shares of $0.001 par value common stock. The Fund’s investment objective is to provide current income and long-term capital appreciation.

The fair values of private real estate lending investments are generally determined by discounting the future contractual cash flows to the present value using a current market interest rate. The market rate is determined by considering one or more of the following criteria as appropriate: (i) interest rates for loans of comparable quality and maturity, (ii) the value of the underlying collateral and (iii) the prevailing state of the debt markets. The valuations of investments in real estate loans are prepared by independent external appraisers on a monthly basis. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Fund’s investment in real estate loans are the selection of certain credit spreads and the loan to value ratios.

The valuations for fixed income securities (which may include, but are not limited to, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed and asset-back securities, and collateralized mortgage obligations) and certain derivative instruments are typically the prices supplied by independent third party pricing services, which may use market prices or broker/dealer quotations or a variety of valuation techniques and methodologies. The independent third party pricing services typically use inputs that are observable such as issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risks/spreads, default rates and quoted prices for similar securities. Investments in open-end funds are valued at the closing net asset value per share of each fund on the day of valuation. Futures contracts are valued daily at the settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last reported sales price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. When the Fund holds securities or other assets that are denominated in a foreign currency, the Fund will normally use the currency exchange rates as of 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). If independent third party pricing services are unable to supply prices for a portfolio investment, or if the prices supplied are deemed by the manager to be unreliable, the market price may be determined by the manager using quotations from one or more broker/dealers or at the transaction price if the security has recently been purchased and no value has yet been obtained from a pricing service or pricing broker. When reliable prices are not readily available, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, but before the Fund calculates its net asset value, the Fund values these securities as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors.

Pursuant to policies adopted by the Board of Directors, the Fund’s manager has been designated as the valuation designee and is responsible for the oversight of the daily valuation process. The Fund’s manager is assisted by the Global Fund Valuation Committee (the “Valuation Committee”). The Valuation Committee is responsible for making fair value determinations, evaluating the effectiveness of the Fund’s pricing policies, and reporting to the Fund’s manager and the Board of Directors. When determining the reliability of third party pricing information for investments owned by the Fund, the Valuation Committee, among other things, conducts due diligence reviews of pricing vendors, monitors the daily change in prices and reviews transactions among market participants.
