PRINCIPAL REAL ESTATE INCOME FUND
Notes to Quarterly Statement of Investments
January 31, 2014
(unaudited)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION
Principal Real
Estate Income Fund (the Fund) is a Delaware statutory trust registered as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940
Act). The Fund commenced operations on June 25, 2013.
The Funds investment objective is to seek to provide high current
income, with capital appreciation as a secondary investment objective, by investing in commercial real estate-related securities. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. An investment in the Fund may not be
appropriate for all investors.
Investing in the Fund involves risks, including exposure to below-investment grade investments. The Funds net
asset value will vary and its distribution rate may vary and both may be affected by numerous factors, including changes in the market spread over a specified benchmark, market interest rates and performance of the broader equity markets.
Fluctuations in net asset value may be magnified as a result of the Funds use of leverage.
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of the Statement of Investments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the Statement of Investments during the period reported. Management believes the estimates and security
valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the security valuations reflected in the Statement of Investments may differ from the value the Funds ultimately realize upon sale of the securities. The
Statement of Investments has been prepared as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on January 31, 2014.
Portfolio
Valuation:
The net asset value per Common Share of the Fund is determined no less frequently than daily, on each day that the NYSE is open for trading, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. New York time). The
Funds net asset value per Common Share is calculated in the manner authorized by the Trustees of the Fund. Net asset value is computed by dividing the value of the Funds total assets, less its liabilities by the number of shares
outstanding.
The Trustees of the Fund have established the following procedures for valuation of the Funds assets under normal market
conditions. Marketable securities listed on foreign or U.S. securities exchanges generally are valued at closing sale prices or, if there were no sales, at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices on the exchange where such securities are
principally traded. Marketable securities listed in the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sale prices are not available are valued at the mean between the
latest bid and asked prices. An option is valued at the price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Over-the-counter options are valued at the mean between the latest bid and asked prices provided by dealers.
Financial futures contracts listed on commodity exchanges and exchange-traded options are valued at closing settlement prices.
The Fund values
commercial mortgage backed securities and other debt securities not traded in an organized market on the basis of valuations provided by an independent pricing service,
approved by the Board of Trustees, which uses information with respect to transactions in such securities, quotations from dealers, market transactions for comparable securities, various
relationships between securities and yield to maturity in determining value. Debt securities having a remaining maturity of sixty days or less when purchased and debt securities originally purchased with maturities in excess of sixty days but which
currently have maturities of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost. If the independent pricing service is unable to provide a price for a security, if the price provided by the independent pricing service is deemed unreliable, or if events
occurring after the close of the market for a security but before the time as of which the Fund values its Common Shares would materially affect net asset value, such security will be valued at its fair value as determined in good faith under
procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.
When applicable, fair value of an investment is determined by the Board of Trustees or a committee of
the Board of Trustees or a designee of the Board of Trustees. In fair valuing the Funds investments, consideration is given to several factors, which may include, among others, the following: the fundamental business data relating to the
issuer, borrower, or counterparty; an evaluation of the forces which influence the market in which the investments are purchased and sold; the type, size and cost of the investment; the Statement of Investments of the issuer, borrower, or
counterparty, as applicable; the credit quality and cash flow of the issuer, borrower, or counterparty, as applicable, based on the sub-advisors or external analysis; the information as to any transactions in or offers for the investment; the
price and extent of public trading in similar securities (or equity securities) of the issuer, or comparable companies; the coupon payments; the quality, value and saleability of collateral, if any, securing the investment; the business prospects of
the issuer, borrower, or counterparty, as applicable, including any ability to obtain money or resources from a parent or affiliate and an assessment of the issuers, borrowers, or counterpartys management; the prospects for the
industry of the issuer, borrower, or counterparty, as applicable, and multiples (of earnings and/or cash flow) being paid for similar businesses in that industry; and other relevant factors.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income:
Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividend income is
recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain dividend income from foreign securities will be recorded, in the exercise of reasonable diligence, as soon as a Fund is informed of the dividend if such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend
date and may be subject to withholding taxes in these jurisdictions. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions and
unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities are determined using the first-in first-out cost basis method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes.
Fair Value Measurements:
The Fund discloses the classification of its fair value measurements following a three-tier hierarchy based on the
inputs used to measure fair value. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect
the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entitys own
assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on the best information available.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds investments as of the end of the reporting period. When inputs used fall into
different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The designated
input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with these investments. These inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Level 1
|
|
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments, unrestricted assets or liabilities that a Fund has the ability to access at the measurement
date;
|
|
|
|
|
|
Level 2
|
|
Quoted prices which are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable (either
directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
|
|
|
|
|
|
Level 3
|
|
Significant unobservable prices or inputs (including the Funds own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) where there is little or no market
activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
|
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds investments as of January 31, 2014. The Fund
recognizes transfers between the levels as of the beginning of the annual period in which the transfer occurred.

For the period ended January 31, 2014, the Fund did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 securities. The Fund did not have any
securities which used significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) in determining fair value during the period.
Commercial Mortgage Backed
Securities (CMBS):
As part of its investments in commercial real estate-related securities, the Fund will invest in CMBS which are subject to certain risks associated with direct investments in CMBS. A CMBS is a type of
mortgage-backed security that is secured by a loan (or loans) on one or more interests in commercial real estate property. Investments in CMBS are subject to the various risks which relate to the pool of underlying assets in which the CMBS
represents an interest. CMBS may be backed by obligations (including certificates of participation in obligations) that are principally secured by commercial real estate loans or interests therein having multi-family or commercial use. Securities
backed by commercial real estate assets are subject to securities market risks as well as risks similar to those of direct ownership of commercial real estate loans because those securities derive their cash flows and value from the performance of
the commercial real estate underlying such investments and/or the owners of such real estate.
Real Estate Investment Trusts
(REITs):
As part of its investments in real estate related securities, the Fund will invest in REITs and are subject to certain risks associated with direct investment in REITs. REITs possess certain risks which differ from an
investment in common stocks. REITs are financial vehicles that pool investors capital to acquire, develop and/or finance real estate and provide services to their tenants. REITs may concentrate their investments in specific geographic areas or
in specific property types, e.g., regional malls, shopping centers, office buildings, apartment buildings and industrial warehouses. REITs may be affected by changes in the value of their underlying properties and by defaults by borrowers or
tenants. REITs depend generally on their ability to generate cash flow to make distributions to
shareowners, and certain REITs have self-liquidation provisions by which mortgages held may be paid in full and distributions of capital returns may be made at any time.
As REITs generally pay a higher rate of dividends than most other operating companies, to the extent application of the Funds investment strategy
results in the Fund investing in REIT shares, the percentage of the Funds dividend income received from REIT shares will likely exceed the percentage of the Funds portfolio that is comprised of REIT shares. Distributions received by the
Fund from REITs may consist of dividends, capital gains and/or return of capital.
Dividend income from REITs is recognized on the ex-dividend date.
The calendar year-end amounts of ordinary income, capital gains, and return of capital included in distributions received from the Funds investments in REITs are reported to the Fund after the end of the calendar year; accordingly, the Fund
estimates these amounts for accounting purposes until the characterization of REIT distributions is reported to the Fund after the end of the calendar year. Estimates are based on the most recent REIT distribution information available.
The performance of a REIT may be affected by its failure to qualify for tax-free pass-through of income under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the Code), or its failure to maintain exemption from registration under the 1940 Act. Due to the Funds investments in REITs, the Fund may also make distributions in excess of the Funds earnings and capital gains.
Distributions, if any, in excess of the Funds earnings and profits will first reduce the adjusted tax basis of a holders Common Shares and, after that basis has been reduced to zero, will constitute capital gains to the Common
Shareholder.
Concentration Risk:
The Fund invests in companies in the real estate industry, which may include CMBS, REITs, REIT-like
structures, and other securities that are secured by, or otherwise have exposure to, real estate. Any fund that concentrates in a particular segment of the market will generally be more volatile than a fund that invests more broadly. Any market
price movements, regulatory changes, or economic conditions affecting CMBS, REITs, REIT-like structures, and real estate more generally, will have a significant impact on the Funds performance.
Foreign Currency Risk:
The Fund expects to invest in securities denominated or quoted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar; changes in
foreign currency exchange rates may affect the value of securities owned by the Fund, the unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments and gains on and income from investments. Currencies of certain countries may be volatile and therefore
may affect the value of securities denominated in such currencies, which means that the Funds net asset value could decline as a result of changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. These risks often are
heightened for investments in smaller, emerging capital markets.
The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Prices of
securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing rates of the exchanges at period end. Amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and investment income are translated at the rates of
exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting
from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and
settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts
actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal
period-end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
A foreign currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a
future date, at a negotiated rate. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to settle specific purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency and for protection from adverse exchange rate fluctuation. Risks to a Fund
include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract.
