Rotation Rule

NREAM undertakes business affairs with respect to managing assets and furnishing investment advice primarily to Nomura Real Estate Master Fund, Inc. (NMF), Nomura Real Estate Private REIT, Inc. (NPR) and other real estate funds.

In carrying out such duties, NREAM strives to take preventative action that would avoid the prospect of any conflicts of interest arising among the respective funds for which it manages assets, particularly when considering possibilities of making property acquisitions on the basis of third-party sales information to which it has gained access. To that end, NREAM stringently implements information management practices such that involve ensuring those who make investment decisions for the respective funds handle their duties separately. Meanwhile, NREAM has also adopted the Rotation Rule whereby it ensures that each fund is equitably granted preference to consider acquisition opportunities on a rotating basis particularly depending on the year in which construction was completed with respect to target properties ("completion year").

Moreover, NREAM makes decisions to acquire properties, or otherwise forgo such investment, in accordance with investment policies specific to each of the funds.
