Investment Overview
About CIM Real Estate Finance Trust
CIM Real Estate Finance Trust, Inc. is a non-traded real estate investment trust. Because CIM Real Estate Finance Trust shares are not listed on a national securities exchange, shareholders generally do not have the same liquidity options available with publicly traded REIT securities.
CIM shareholders may explore liquidity alternatives when they need access to cash, are handling an estate or trust matter, are reallocating a portfolio, or no longer want to continue holding an illiquid investment position.
Alternative Investment Liquidity provides confidential review of CIM Real Estate Finance Trust positions based on share ownership, account documentation, transferability, current secondary market interest, and other transaction-related considerations.
CIM Liquidity
Why CIM Shareholders May Seek Liquidity
Non-traded REIT shareholders often discover that liquidity can be limited even when an investment reports a net asset value or has a share redemption program. A redemption program may be subject to caps, timing restrictions, eligibility requirements, funding limitations, or suspension.
In prior secondary market activity involving CIM Real Estate Finance Trust, third-party purchasers have offered to acquire shares directly from investors at a cash price below reported NAV. That type of activity reflects a common reality in the non-traded REIT market: reported value and available liquidity value may not be the same.
AIL does not rely on a single factor when reviewing a CIM position. The review process considers the investment structure, available documentation, ownership registration, potential transfer requirements, share amount, and current buyer interest.
Valuation Considerations
Factors That May Affect CIM Share Value
Reported NAV vs. Market Pricing
Reported net asset value may provide a reference point, but secondary market pricing may reflect liquidity limitations, transfer timing, market demand, portfolio composition, and buyer underwriting.
Redemption Program Availability
Sponsor redemption programs may be limited or unavailable depending on program rules, quarterly caps, investor eligibility, and sponsor discretion.
Transfer Requirements
CIM share transfers may require completed assignment documentation, ownership verification, transfer agent processing, and sponsor-related administrative review.
Position Size
The number of shares owned and the total size of the position may affect buyer interest, pricing, and transaction timing.
