The Fund employs leverage, which increases the volatility of investment returns and subjects the Fund to magnified losses if investments decline in value. Past performance does not guarantee future results. There can be no guarantee that current trends will continue.  The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when repurchased, may be worth more or less than their original cost and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Class I performance information is presented above; please refer to the tables below additional performance information, including performance details for Class U, Class S and Class D shares.

(1) Annualized ITD Net Return: Performance since inception through date indicated. Class I inception date is July 2, 2020; Class U inception date is June 30, 2021; Class D inception date is March 4, 2022. ITD performance number is annualized if time period is longer than one year. Reflects the percentage change in NAV per share plus the applicable distributions per share for the applicable period. Assumes the reinvestment of distributions pursuant to the Fund’s distribution reinvestment plan. Past performance is historical and not a guarantee of future results.

(2) Net Distribution Rate: Reflects the annualized monthly dividend for September 2024 divided by the month-end NAV for the respective share class. KREST intends to make distributions necessary to maintain its qualification as a real estate investment trust. However, there is no assurance that we will pay distributions in any particular amount, if at all. Any distributions we make will be at the discretion of our board of directors. KREST may pay distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, including without limitations, the sale of assets, borrowings, return of capital or offering proceeds. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, 85% of KREST’s distributions were funded through adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”). The Fund defines AFFO as the increase in net assets applicable to common stockholders from operations (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding (i) the change in net unrealized (appreciation) depreciation of investments, (ii) amortization premium (accretion of discount) on real estate securities, (iii) amortization of deferred origination fees on real estate loans, (iv) amortization of deferred financing costs, (v) management and incentive fees paid in shares of the Fund and (vi) realized and including undistributed income attributable to the Fund’s unconsolidated subsidiaries. This statement is not an indication of the tax treatment of any KREST distributions. Stockholders will be informed of the tax characteristics of any distributions after the close of KREST’s fiscal year. For the 2023 tax year, 100% of KREST’s distributions were classified as Return of Capital (“ROC”). As of October 31, 2024, the Class I net distribution rate is 6.17%, the Class U net distribution rate is 5.32%, the Class D net distribution rate is 5.92% and the Class S net distribution rate is 5.32%.

(3) Fund-Level Gross Leverage: Refers only to borrowings made by the Fund and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Fund may employ leverage in the form of loans, preferred stock, reverse repurchase agreements and/or other instruments.

(4) Gross Property Value: Represents real estate and other assets held by KREST’s unconsolidated subsidiaries, including any portion not owned by the Fund. As of October 31, 2024, the Fund’s economic interest in such joint ventures ranges from 50.5% to 99.5%. For financial reporting purposes, KREST includes the fair value of its equity interests in these subsidiaries in its total assets. As of October 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of the Fund’s net equity interest in these subsidiaries is $894.0 million.

(5) As of October 31, 2024. Properties and Occupancy are reported based on the equity portion of the KREST portfolio. Excludes equity investment deposits and Real Estate Credit, which includes private real estate debt, including securities, and preferred equity. Property count excludes single family rental homes. Occupancy excludes single family rental homes that have been acquired and/or renovated, as applicable, within 3 months or less.

(6) Combined Net Leverage is a calculation provided to illustrate the combined leverage of the Fund and the Weighted Average LTV of the Fund’s unconsolidated subsidiaries. It is calculated as the ratio of i) the Fund’s borrowings, less cash and subscription proceeds receivable, plus the Equity-Weighted Unconsolidated Debt of the Fund’s investments divided by ii) the Fund’s total assets plus the Equity-Weighted Unconsolidated Debt of the Fund’s investments. Equity-Weighted Unconsolidated Debt is a measure of the non-recourse property level financing of the Fund’s investments weighted by the Fund’s equity exposure in such investments, calculated as the Fund’s total investments divided by one minus the Weighted Average LTV, with the result then multiplied by the Weighted Average LTV. Weighted Average LTV means the loan-to-value ratio of each of the Fund’s investments (whether consolidated or unconsolidated) averaged with a weighting based on the value of the Fund’s equity in each such investment.

(7) Excludes real estate credit investments and equity investment deposits.

(8) Excludes equity investment deposits.
