About Cbre Clarion Global Real Estate Income Fund

CBRE Global Real Estate Income Fund (NYSE: IGR) is a U.S.-listed closed-end fund organized as a Delaware statutory trust and positioned within the listed real estate investment universe. It is not a traditional property owner or developer; rather, its business model is to invest primarily in publicly traded real estate-related securities with the twin objectives of current income and capital appreciation. The fund was organized on November 6, 2003 and commenced investment operations on February 24, 2004, giving it a long operating history in the listed real estate fund segment.

In practical terms, the fund offers diversified exposure to real estate equities and related securities through public markets rather than direct ownership of buildings. Its core appeal for income-oriented investors is straightforward: a liquid, exchange-listed way to access global real estate themes, supported by active portfolio management, geographic and sector diversification, and a focus on regular cash distributions. The fund has explicitly communicated monthly distributions, which reinforces its “income” profile. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0001268884/000119312526095902/d13739dncsr.htm?utm_source=openai)) From a competitive standpoint, IGR sits in a specific niche: globally oriented listed real estate closed-end funds traded on the NYSE in the United States. Its advantages include exchange liquidity, a diversified real estate portfolio construction approach, and the backing of a well-known real estate investment platform. The main analytical nuance is that, like many closed-end funds, the share price can trade at a premium or discount to net asset value, so investors need to assess both yield and valuation relative to NAV. The shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker IGR.

The fund continued to declare monthly distributions in 2025 and into early 2026, and its 2025 annual report confirms its status as a diversified closed-end management investment company focused on real estate securities. In addition, a Form 4 filed in December 2025 reported insider purchases, which is noteworthy but should be interpreted cautiously in the context of an investment vehicle, where insider activity may reflect several motives. Overall, IGR remains a listed real estate income vehicle for investors seeking international property exposure via the U.S. equity market.
