About FTREX

First Trust Real Assets Fund Class I is an interval mutual fund designed to deliver a long-term real return—total return after inflation—through a blend of current income and capital appreciation. The strategy focuses on real assets with an emphasis on private real estate, allocating across private real estate equity and private real estate debt, and complementing this core with selective exposure to infrastructure and other real asset categories. The fund invests through a mix of private funds, real estate investment trusts, public equities and debt tied to real assets, private debt instruments, and direct co‑investments, including the use of a Cayman subsidiary for certain holdings. It seeks diversified exposure across residential, industrial, retail, multifamily, office, healthcare, specialty, and infrastructure segments, providing access to institutional real asset managers with daily net asset value and limited quarterly liquidity. The vehicle’s structure concentrates on tax‑efficient income generation and inflation sensitivity typical of real assets while targeting a strategic overweight to private real estate to balance yield, diversification, and long-horizon return characteristics.
