Investment Overview

CIM Real Estate Finance Trust

CIM Real Estate Finance Trust, Inc. is a non-traded real estate investment trust sponsored by CIM Group. The company focuses on commercial real estate credit investments, senior secured loans, mortgage-related assets, and income-producing real estate holdings.

Because CIM Real Estate Finance Trust shares are not listed on a national securities exchange, investors seeking liquidity may face different valuation, transfer, and market considerations than they would with publicly traded REIT shares.

CIM Liquidity

Understanding
CIM Share Liquidity

Shareholders may explore liquidity alternatives when their financial objectives change, estate planning needs arise, inherited shares need to be evaluated, or a portfolio rebalancing decision requires review of an illiquid position.

Liquidity opportunities for CIM Real Estate Finance Trust shares may be limited and can vary based on issuer policies, transfer requirements, available buyers, and broader market conditions.

Secondary Market

Secondary Market Liquidity

Transactions involving non-traded REIT interests are typically negotiated privately rather than completed through a public stock exchange. As a result, pricing may differ from reported net asset value and can fluctuate based on buyer demand.

Buyers evaluating CIM Real Estate Finance Trust positions may consider portfolio composition, distribution history, current transferability, and the overall market for commercial real estate credit investments.

Valuation Considerations

What May Affect
Secondary Market Value

Reported Net Asset Value

Reported net asset value may provide a reference point for investors evaluating their holdings, although available market pricing may differ from reported values.

Distribution History

Historical and current distribution activity may influence buyer interest, especially when investors are evaluating income-producing alternative investment positions.

Portfolio Composition

The underlying portfolio, including commercial real estate loans, credit investments, and real estate holdings, may influence investor interest and market activity.

Transfer Requirements

CIM share transfers may require ownership verification, transfer documentation, and approval through applicable transfer procedures before a transaction can be completed.

Market Demand

Secondary market interest can vary over time based on investor demand, interest rates, real estate market conditions, and the characteristics of the underlying investment.

Documentation

Information Commonly Requested

Ownership records, account statements, trust documentation, estate records, transfer paperwork, and other supporting documents may be relevant when evaluating a CIM Real Estate Finance Trust position.

Documentation requirements can vary depending on how shares are registered and whether the position is individually owned, held in trust, owned through an entity, held in a retirement account, or part of an estate.

Marketability Assessment

What Determines Whether
A Position Can Be Reviewed?

Not every non-traded REIT position can be transferred or sold. Review eligibility depends on ownership structure, issuer transfer requirements, account registration, available documentation, and current secondary market demand.

A confidential review helps determine whether a CIM Real Estate Finance Trust position may qualify for further evaluation and whether a potential liquidity pathway may exist.
