What is the NFI-ODCE?
The NCREIF Fund Index - Open End Diversified Core Equity (NFI-ODCE) is an index of investment returns of the largest private real estate funds pursuing lower risk investment strategies utilizing low leverage and generally represented by equity ownership positions in stable U.S. operating properties diversified across regions and property types. The NFI-ODCE (pronounced as “odyssey”) has been widely used since 1978 to track institutional core private real estate returns.
What is an interval fund?
Interval funds are classified as registered closed-end funds under the Investment Company Act of 1940, although interval funds have characteristics more like those of an open-end mutual fund. Interval funds offer their shares continuously and shares are redeemed at Net Asset Value (NAV) — similar to an open-end mutual fund.
