ANNUALIZED SHARPE RATIO
OF ALL REAL ESTATE SECTOR FUNDS
ENDING 12.31.20201
Sharpe Ratio is a measure of the return of an investment based on the level of risk (volatility). A higher number indicating a higher return per unit of risk.
Standard Deviation measures volatility by calculating the daily dispersion of returns from the mean.
Total Return: Expressed in percentage terms, Morningstar's calculation of total return is determined by taking the change in price, reinvesting, if applicable, all income and capital gains distributions during the period, and dividing by the starting price. Annualized returns are returns over a period scaled down to a 12-month period. This scaling process allows investors to objectively compare the returns of any assets over any period.

1 Source: Morningstar Direct, annualized Sharpe Ratio, based on daily data from 10.1.2015-12.31.2020. Using Morningstar data compiled by Bluerock Fund Advisor, LLC, TIPRX received the highest Sharpe Ratio among approximately 890 open end, closed end, and exchange traded funds in the global real estate sector equity category for the five-year period ending 12.31.2020. TIPRX, no load. Sharpe Ratio and standard deviation are only two forms of performance measure. The Sharpe Ratio would have been lower if the calculation reflected the load. Please see definitions of open-end,closed-end, and exchange-traded fund structures below.
Equities, bonds and real estate have distinct risk and liquidity factors. It is not possible to invest in an index. You cannot invest directly in an index and unmanaged indices do not reflect fees,
expenses or sale charges. Please see page 10 for a description of the risks and comparisons of the investment indexes selected. Past Performance is no guarantee of future results.
The TI+ Fund C-share (TIPPX) and L-share (TIPLX) have a limited operating history, thus all returns, charts, and metrics reflect TI+ Fund A-share, no load which coincides with Fund inception on 10.22.2012. Because the C-share and L-share each have higher annual expense limitations, actual C-share and L-share returns would be lower than the A-share, no load for equivalent time
periods. Each share class has its own fee structure. Please see each share class Prospectus for details at www.bluerockfunds.com/documents.

- 67% is the simple average of the calendar year return of capital portion of distributions from 01.01.2013-12.31.2020. This portion is "tax deferred" in that taxes are paid when shares of the Fund are sold.
- Cumulative Distributions: The collective sum of the Fund's A-shares distributions since Fund inception, reflected as of each quarter end. This does not necessarily represent actual investment results for any individual investor.
Net Cumulative Total Return: the aggregate net amount that an investment has gained or lost over time, independent of the period of time involved.

The performance data quoted here represents past performance. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted above. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The Fund's performance, especially for very short periods of time, should not be the sole factor in making your investment decisions. For performance information current to the most recent month end, please call toll free 844-819-8287 or go online to bluerockfunds.com.
The total annual fund operating expense ratio, gross of any fee waivers or expense reimbursements, is 2.21% for A-share, 2.96% for C-share, and 2.46% for L-share. The Fund's investment adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or absorb expenses of the Fund, at least until January 31, 2021 to ensure that the net annual fund operating expenses will not exceed 1.95% for A-share, 2.70% for C-share, and 2.20% for L-share, subject to possible recoupment from the Fund in future years. Please review the Fund's Prospectus for more detail on the expense waiver. Results shown reflect the full fee waiver, without which the results would have been lower. The maximum sales charge is 5.75% for A-share and 4.25% for L-share. Investors may be eligible for a reduction in sales charges. Please see the Fund Prospectus for details.
- The Fund's distribution policy is to make quarterly distributions to shareholders. The level of quarterly distributions (including any return of capital) is not fixed. However, this distribution policy is subject to change. The Fund's distribution amounts were calculated based on the ordinary income received from the underlying investments, including short-term capital gains realized from the disposition of such investments. Shareholders should not assume that the source of a distribution from the Fund is net profit. All or a portion of the distributions consist of a return of capital based on the character of the distributions received from the underlying holdings, primarily Real Estate Investment Trusts. The final determination of the source and tax characteristics of all distributions will be made after the end of the year. Shareholders should note that return of capital will reduce the tax basis of their shares and potentially increase the taxable gain, if any, upon disposition of their shares. There is no assurance that the Company will continue to declare distributions or that they will continue at these rates.

Best in Class Institutional Investment Managers (Select; Subject to Change)
- Occupancy rates reported from underlying managers, average is the simple average of all private funds. Generally excludes properties under construction, but generally includes properties in lease-up.
- Weighted average loan to value: outstanding loan balance divided by the total value of the underlying real estate
- The Fund expects to invest in the privately offered subordinate classes of K-Notes. Because more-senior classes have payment priority over subordinate classes of K-Notes, the value of subordinate K-Notes is highly sensitive to the default rate and foreclosure recovery rate on the underlying apartment loans. Subordinate K-Notes are also subject to liquidity risk because they are not available to the investing public and have a limited secondary market composed of institutional investors.

NCREIF Property Index (NPI): Institutional private equity real estate (iPERE) can be described as high-quality commercial properties that are usually congregated in large investment portfolios managed professionally on behalf of third-party owners or beneficiaries. The leading benchmark index for iPERE is the National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries Price Index (NPI) which represents a collection of 8,000+ institutional properties representing all major commercial property types within the U.S. The NPI is a quarterly time series composite total rate of return measure of investment performance of a very large pool of individual commercial real estate properties acquired in the private market for investment purposes only. All properties in the NPI have been acquired, at least in part, on behalf of tax-exempt institutional investors - the great majority being pension funds. As such, all properties are held in a fiduciary environment

Risk Disclosures
Not FDIC Insured | No Bank Guarantee | May Lose Value
Investing in the Fund involves risks, including the risk that you may receive little or no return on your investment or that you may lose part or all of your investment.
The ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective depends, in part, on the ability of the Advisor to allocate effectively the Fund's assets across the various asset classes in which it invests and to select investments in each such asset class. There can be no assurance that the actual allocations will be effective in achieving the Fund's investment objective or delivering positive returns.
Limited liquidity is provided to shareholders only through the Fund's quarterly repurchase offers for no less than 5% of the Fund's shares outstanding at net asset value. There is no guarantee that shareholders will be able to sell all of the shares they desire in a quarterly repurchase offer. Since inception, the Fund has made 32 repurchase offers, of which 29 have resulted in the repurchase of all shares tendered and two have resulted in the repurchase of less than all shares tendered, including the most recent quarterly repurchase offer on November 10, 2020. In connection with the November 2020 repurchase offer, the Fund repurchased, on a pro rata basis, approximately 45% of the total number of shares tendered. Quarterly repurchases by the Fund of its shares typically will be funded from available cash or sales of portfolio securities. The sale of securities to fund repurchases could reduce the market price of those securities, which in turn would reduce the Fund's net asset value.
An investment in shares represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Fund. The value of these securities, like other market investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The Fund is "non-diversified" under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and therefore may invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of one or more issuers. As such, changes in the financial condition or market value of a single issuer may cause a greater fluctuation in the Fund's net asset value than in a "diversified" fund. The Fund is not intended to be a complete investment program.
The Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical and other similar events will disrupt the economy on a national or global level. For instance, war, terrorism, market manipulation, government defaults, government shutdowns, political changes or diplomatic developments, public health emergencies (such as the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics and epidemics) and natural/environmental disasters can all negatively impact the securities markets.
The current novel coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic and the aggressive responses taken by many governments, including closing borders, restricting international and domestic travel, and the imposition of prolonged quarantines or similar restrictions, as well as the forced or voluntary closure of, or operational changes to, many retail and other businesses, have had negative impacts, and in many cases severe negative impacts, on markets worldwide. Potential impacts on the real estate market may include lower occupancy rates, decreased lease payments, defaults and foreclosures, among other consequences. It is not known how long such impacts, or any future impacts of other significant events described above, will or would last, but there could be a prolonged period of global economic slowdown.
The Fund will concentrate its investments in real estate industry securities. The value of the Fund's shares will be affected by factors affecting the value of real estate and the earnings of companies engaged in the real estate industry. These factors include, among others: (i) changes in general economic and market conditions;
- changes in the value of real estate properties; (iii) risks related to local economic conditions, overbuilding and increased competition; (iv) increases in property taxes and operating expenses; (v) changes in zoning laws;
- casualty and condemnation losses; (vii) variations in rental income, neighborhood values or the appeal of property to tenants; (viii) the availability of financing and (ix) changes in interest rates. Many real estate companies utilize leverage, which increases investment risk and could adversely affect a company's operations and market value in periods of rising interest rates. The value of securities of companies in the real estate industry may go through cycles of relative under-performance and over-performance in comparison to equity securities markets in general.
A significant portion of the Fund's underlying investments are in private real estate investment funds managed by institutional investment managers ("Institutional Investment Funds"). Investments in Institutional Investment Funds pose specific risks, including: such investments require the Fund to bear a pro rata share of the vehicles' expenses, including management and performance fees; the Advisor and Sub-Advisor will have no control over investment decisions may by such vehicle; such vehicle may utilize financial leverage; such investments have limited liquidity; the valuation of such investment as of a specific date may vary from the actual sale price that may be obtained if such investment were sold to a third party.
Additional risks related to an investment in the Fund are set forth in the "Risk Factors" section of the prospectus, which include, but are not limited to the following: convertible securities risk; correlation risk; credit risk; fixed income risk; leverage risk; risk of competition between underlying funds; and preferred securities risk.
Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Bluerock Total Income+ Real Estate Fund. This and other important information about the Fund is contained in the prospectus, which can be obtained by calling toll free 844-819-8287, or online at bluerockfunds.com. The prospectus should be read carefully before investing.

Additional fund performance details available at bluerockfunds.com/performance. Investors may be eligible for a reduction in sales charges. Please see the Fund Prospectus for details. Please note that the indices are for informational purposes only and are not reflective of any investment. As it is not possible to invest in the indices, the data shown does not reflect or compare features of an actual investment, such as its objectives, costs and expenses, liquidity, safety, guarantees or insurance, fluctuation of principal or return, or tax features.
There are limitations when comparing the Bluerock Total Income+ Real Estate Fund to Stock, Bond, and Public Real Estate indices. Many open-end funds which track these indices offer daily liquidity, while closed-end interval funds offer liquidity only on a periodic basis. Deteriorating general market conditions will reduce the value of stock securities. When interest rates rise, the value of bond securities tends to fall. Real estate securities may decline because of adverse developments affecting the real estate industry and real property values. You cannot invest directly in an index and unmanaged indices do not reflect fees, expenses or sales charges. Please see definitions for a description of the risks and comparisons of the investment indexes selected.
Definitions
Alpha: A measure of performance on a risk-adjusted basis. Alpha takes the volatility (price risk) of a mutual fund and compares its risk-adjusted performance to a benchmark index.The excess return of the fund relative to the return of the benchmark index is a fund's alpha.
Annualized Standard Deviation: The standard deviation of the daily percentage change in an investment. Standard deviation shows how much variation from the average exists with a larger number indicating the data points are more spread out over a larger range of values.
Beta: a measure of systematic risk (volatility), or the sensitivity of a fund to movements in a benchmark. A beta of 1 implies that you can expect the movement of a fund's return series to match that of the benchmark.A value of less than 1.0 implies that the fund is less volatile than the index.
Down Period Percent: Percentage of days a security/index decreases.
Internal Rate of Return: Discount rate which makes the present value of the sum of future cash flows equal to zero.
Maximum Drawdown: The maximum decline a security experiences prior to reaching its previous peak.
Sharpe Ratio: Measurement of the risk-adjusted performance calculated by subtracting the annualized risk-free rate (3-month Treasury Bill) from the annualized rate of return for a portfolio and dividing the result by the annualized standard deviation of the portfolio returns.
Up Period Percent: Percentage of days a security/index increases or is unchanged.
MSCI US REIT Index (Public REITs): A free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index comprised of equity REITs that are included in the MSCI US Investable Market 2500 Index, with the exception of specialty equity REITs that do not generate a majority of their revenue and income from real estate rental and leasing operations. The index represents approximately 85% of the US REIT universe (www.msci.com). Returns shown are for informational purposes and do not reflect those of the Fund. You cannot invest directly in an index and unmanaged indices do not reflect fees, expenses or sales charges. Risks include rising interest rates or other economic factors that may negatively affect the value of the underlying real estate.
Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index: A broad-basedflagship benchmark that measures the investment grade, US dollar- denominated, fixed-ratetaxable bond market. The index includes Treasuries, government-relatedand corporate securities, MBS (agency fixed-rateand hybrid ARM pass-throughs),ABS and CMBS (agency and non-agency).Provided the necessary inclusion rules are met, US Aggregate eligible securities also contribute to the multi-currencyGlobal Aggregate Index and the US Universal Index, which includes high yield and emerging markets debt. Risks include rising interest rates or other economic factors that may negatively affect the value of the underlying bonds.
S&P 500: An index of 500 stocks chosen for market size, liquidity and industry grouping, among other factors. The S&P 500 is designed to be a leading indicator of U.S. equities and is meant to reflect the risk/return characteristics of the large cap universe (Investopedia).
Open-end funds, closed-end funds, and exchange-traded funds have significant differences in liquidity.
An open-endfund is a type of mutual fund that does not have restrictions on the amount of shares the fund can issue.The majority of mutual funds are open-end, providing investors with a useful and convenient investing vehicle. Shares are bought and sold on demand at their net asset value (NAV), which is based on the value of the fund's underlying securities and is calculated at the end of the trading day.
A closed-endfund is organized as a publicly traded investment company by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Like a mutual fund, a closed-end fund is a pooled investment fund with a manager overseeing the portfolio; it raises a fixed amount of capital through an initial public offering (IPO). The fund is then structured, listed and traded like a stock on a stock exchange. Unlike open-end funds, closed-end funds trade just like stocks. While open-end funds are priced only once at the end of the day, closed-end funds are traded and priced throughout the day. Closed- end funds also require a brokerage account to buy and sell, while an open-end fund can often be purchased directly through a fund provider.
An ETF, or exchange-tradedfund, is a marketable security that tracks a stock index, a commodity, bonds, or a basket of assets. Although similar in many ways, ETFs differ from mutual funds because shares trade like common stock on an exchange. The price of an ETF's shares will change throughout the day as they are bought and sold.The largest ETFs typically have higher average daily volume and lower fees than mutual fund shares which makes them an attractive alternative for individual investors.
