Brookfield Real Assets Income Fund Inc.

 

Common Shares

 

 

Brookfield Real Assets Income Fund Inc. (the “Fund,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) has entered into a distribution agreement dated [•] (the “Distribution Agreement”), with [•] (the “Distributor”), relating to the Fund’s common shares of stock, par value $0.001 (“Common Shares"), offered by this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus. The Distributor has entered into a sub-placement agent agreement dated [•] (the “Sub-Placement Agent Agreement”), with [•] (the “Sub-Placement Agent”), relating to the Fund's Common Shares offered by this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus. In accordance with the terms of the Sub-Placement Agent Agreement, we may offer and sell up to [•] of our Common Shares from time to time through the Sub-Placement Agent, as the sub-placement agent for the offer and sale of the Common Shares.

 

Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), the Fund may not sell any Common Shares at a price below the current net asset value of such Common Shares, exclusive of any distributing commission or discount. The Fund is a diversified, closed-end management investment company that commenced investment operations in December 2016. Our investment objective is to seek high total return, primarily through high current income and secondarily, through growth of capital.

 

Our Common Shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and trade under the ticker symbol “RA.” The last reported sale price for our Common Shares on [•] was $[•] per share. The net asset value of our Common Shares at the close of business on [•] was $[•] per share.

 

Sales of our Common Shares, if any, under this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus may be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), including sales made directly on the NYSE or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange.

 

The Distributor will be entitled to compensation of [•]% of the gross sales price per share for any Common Shares sold under the Distribution Agreement. Out of this commission rate, the Distributor will compensate the Sub-Placement Agent at a rate of [•]% of the gross proceeds of the sale of the Fund’s Common Shares sold through the Sub-Placement Agent. In connection with the sale of the Common Shares on our behalf, the Distributor may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the 1933 Act and the compensation of the Distributor may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts.

 

Investing in our securities involves certain risks. You could lose some or all of your investment. Shares of closed-end investment companies frequently trade at a discount to their net asset value and this may increase the risk of loss to purchasers of our securities. You should carefully consider these risks together with all of the other information contained in this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus before making a decision to purchase our securities.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved these securities or determined if this Prospectus Supplement is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 

 

 

You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus. The Fund has not authorized anyone to provide you with different information. The Fund is not making an offer to sell these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should not assume that the information contained in this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus is accurate as of any date other than the date of this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus, respectively. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates. In this Prospectus Supplement and in the accompanying Prospectus, unless otherwise indicated, “Fund,” “us,” “our” and “we” refer to Brookfield Real Assets Income Fund Inc. This Prospectus Supplement also includes trademarks owned by other persons.

 

As permitted by regulations adopted by the SEC, paper copies of the Fund’s annual and semi-annual shareholder reports are no longer sent by mail, unless you specifically requested to receive paper copies of the reports.

Summary of Fund Expenses

 

The following table contains information about the costs and expenses that holders of Common Shares will bear directly or indirectly. The table is based on the capital structure of the Fund as of [•] (except as noted below) after giving effect to the anticipated net proceeds of the Common Shares offered by this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus and assuming the Fund incurs the estimated offering expenses. If the Fund issues fewer than all of the Common Shares available for sale pursuant to the Distribution Agreement and the net proceeds to the Fund are less, all other things being equal, the total annual expenses shown would increase. The purpose of the table and the example below is to help you understand the fees and expenses that you, as a holder of Common Shares, would bear directly or indirectly.

 

Shareholder Transaction Expenses      
       
Sales load (as a percentage of offering price)   [•] %(1)
Offering expenses borne by the Fund (as a percentage of offering price)   [•] %(2)
Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan fees   None  

 

    As a Percentage of Net Assets
Attributable to Common Shares
 
Annual Expenses        
Management fees(3)     [•] %
Interest payments on borrowed funds(4)     [•] %
Other expenses(5)     [•] %
Total annual expenses     [•] %

 

  (1) Represents the estimated commission with respect to the Common Shares being sold under this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus. There is no guarantee that there will be any sales of Common Shares under this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus. Actual sales of Common Shares under this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus, if any, may be less than as set forth under “Capitalization” below. In addition, the price per Common Share of any such sale may be greater or less than the price set forth under “Capitalization” below, depending on market price of the Common Shares at the time of any such sale.
  (2) Assumes the sale of [•] Common Shares at a sales price of $[•] per Common Share, which represents the last reported sales price of the Common Shares on the NYSE on [•]. There is no guarantee that there will be any sales of Common Shares under this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus. Actual sales, if any, of the Common Shares under this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus may be at a price greater or less than $[•] per Common Shares, depending on the market price of the Common Shares at the time of any such sale.
  (3) The Fund pays the Adviser an annual fee, payable monthly, in an amount equal to 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily Managed Assets (net assets plus any assets attributable to financial leverage). The fee shown above is based upon outstanding financial leverage of [•]% of the Fund’s Managed Assets (the total assets of the Fund, including the assets attributable to the proceeds from any forms of financial leverage, minus liabilities, other than liabilities related to any financial leverage). If financial leverage of more than [•]% of the Fund’s Managed Assets is used, the management fees shown would be higher.
  (4) Assumes financial leverage of [•]% of the Fund’s Managed Assets, based upon the Fund’s outstanding borrowings as of [•], after giving effect to anticipated net proceeds of the offering of approximately $[•] in borrowings outstanding under the Fund’s credit facility and $[•] of reverse repurchase agreements at a weighted average daily interest rate of [•]% and [•]% for the credit facility and reverse repurchase agreements, respectively.
  (5) Other expenses are estimated based upon those incurred during the fiscal period ended [•].

Example

 

The following example illustrates the expenses that you would pay on a $1,000 investment in Common Shares, assuming (1) “Total annual expenses” of [•]% of net assets attributable to Common Shares, (2) the sales load of $[•] and estimated offering expenses of $[•], and (3) a 5% annual return*:

 

    1 Year     3 Years     5 Years     10 Years  
Total Expenses Incurred   $ [•]     $ [•]     $ [•]     $ [•]  

 

 

  * The example should not be considered a representation of future expenses or returns. Actual expenses may be higher or lower than those assumed. Moreover, the Fund’s actual rate of return may be higher or lower than the hypothetical 5% return shown in the example. The example assumes that the estimated “Other expenses” set forth in the Annual Expenses table are accurate and that all dividends and distributions are reinvested at NAV.

 

Use of Proceeds

 

Sales of Common Shares, if any, under this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus may be made in transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act. Assuming the sale of the [•] Common Shares available for sale under this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus, the net proceeds to the Fund from this offering will be approximately $[•] (assuming a price of $[•] per Common Share, which was the last reported sales price of the Common Shares on the NYSE on [•]) after deducting the estimated commission and estimated offering expenses.

 

The Fund intends to invest the net proceeds of any sales of Common Shares under this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus in accordance with its investment objective and policies as stated in the accompanying Prospectus. It is currently anticipated that the Fund will be able to invest substantially all of the net proceeds of the offering in accordance with its investment objective and policies within three months after receipt of such proceeds. See “The Offer—Purpose of the Offer,” and “Investment Objective and Investment Policies” in the accompanying Prospectus and the information contained under the heading “Additional Information About the Fund—Investment Restrictions” in the Fund’s Annual Report, which is also incorporated by reference into the SAI. Pending such investment, it is anticipated that the proceeds will be invested in cash, cash equivalents or other securities, including U.S. government securities or high quality, short-term debt securities. The Fund may also use the proceeds for working capital purposes, including the payment of distributions, interest, and operating expenses, although the Fund currently has no intent to issue Common Shares primarily for these purposes.

 

Capitalization

 

In accordance with the terms of the Distribution Agreement, the Fund may offer and sell up to [•] Common Shares, from time to time, through the Distributor (or the Sub-Placement Agent) as the Fund’s agent for the offer and sale of Common Shares. As of [•], the Fund has issued and sold [•] Common Shares pursuant to the Distribution Agreement and [•] Common Shares remain available for sale under this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus. There is no guarantee that there will be any sales of Common Shares under this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus. The table below assumes that the Fund will sell [•] Common Shares at a price of $[•] per Common Share (the last reported sales price of the Common Shares on the NYSE on [•]). Actual sales, if any, of the Common Shares under this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus may be at a price greater or less than $[•] per Common Share, depending on the market price of the Common Shares at the time of any such sale. The Fund and the Distributor will determine whether any sales of Common Shares will be authorized on a particular day.

 

The Fund and the Distributor, however, will not authorize sales of Common Shares if the price per share of the Common Shares is less than the minimum price. The Fund and the Distributor may elect not to authorize sales of Common Shares on a particular day even if the price per share of the Common Shares is equal to or greater than the minimum price, or may only authorize a fixed number of Common Shares to be sold on any particular day. The Fund and the Distributor will have full discretion regarding whether sales of Common Shares will be authorized on a particular day and, if so, in what amounts.

 

The following table sets forth the Fund’s capitalization at [•]:

 

  (i) on a historical basis;

  (iii) on an as further adjusted basis to reflect the assumed sale of [•] Common Shares at a price of $[•] per share (the last reported sale price of the Common Shares on the NYSE on [•]), in an offering under this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus less the assumed commission of $[•] (representing an estimated commission paid to the Distributor of [•]% of the gross proceeds of the sale of Common Shares in this offering), and estimated offering expenses payable by the Fund of $[•].

The Fund cannot predict whether its Common Shares will trade in the future at a premium to or discount from NAV, or the level of any premium or discount.

 

Plan of Distribution

 

The Fund has entered into a Distribution Agreement, dated [•], with [•], pursuant to which the Fund may offer and sell up to [•] Common Shares, from time to time, through the Distributor, in transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act. As of [•], the Fund has issued and sold [•] Common Shares pursuant to the Distribution Agreement and [•] Common Shares remain available for sale under this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus. The minimum price on any day at which Common Shares may be sold will not be less than the minimum price, which will be equal to the then current NAV per Common Share plus the per Common Share amount of the commission to be paid to the Distributor. The Fund and the Distributor will determine whether any sales of Common Shares will be authorized on a particular day. The Fund and the Distributor, however, will not authorize sales of Common Shares if the price per share of the Common Shares is less than the minimum price. The Fund and the Distributor may elect not to authorize sales of Common Shares on a particular day even if the price per share of the Common Shares is equal to or greater than the minimum price, or may only authorize a fixed number of Common Shares to be sold on any particular day. The Fund and the Distributor will have full discretion regarding whether sales of Common Shares will be authorized on a particular day and, if so, in what amounts.

 

The Distributor may enter into sub-placement agent agreements with one or more selected dealers. The Distributor has entered into a Sub-Placement Agent Agreement, dated [•], with [•] relating to the Common Shares offered by this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus. In accordance with the terms of the Sub-Placement Agent Agreement, the Fund may offer and sell its Common Shares from time to time through the Sub-Placement Agent as sub-placement agent for the offer and sale of its Common Shares.

 

The Distributor (or the Sub-Placement Agent) will provide written confirmation to the Fund not later than the opening of the trading day on the NYSE following any trading day on which Common Shares are sold. Each confirmation will include the number of Common Shares sold on the preceding day, the net proceeds to the Fund and the compensation payable by the Fund to the Distributor in connection with the sales.

 

The Fund will compensate the Distributor with respect to sales of Common Shares at a commission rate of [•]% of the gross proceeds of the sale of Common Shares. Out of this commission, the Distributor will compensate the Sub-Placement Agent at a rate of up to [•]% of the gross sales proceeds of the sale of the Common Shares sold by the Sub-Placement Agent. There is no guarantee that there will be any sales of Common Shares under this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus.

 

Settlement for sales of Common Shares will occur on the second trading day following the date on which such sales are made in return for payment of the net proceeds to the Fund. There is no arrangement for funds to be deposited in escrow, trust, or similar arrangement.
