IMPORTANT INFORMATION
YOUR ASSISTANCE IS REQUESTED
To Brokers/Financial Advisors/Registered Representatives:
We are writing you to request your assistance with respect to the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Dividend Capital Realty Income Allocation Fund (the "Fund") scheduled for Thursday, April 27, 2006. We have attached for your convenience a courtesy copy of the proxy statement recently mailed to all of the Fund's shareholders.
We understand the close relationship you maintain with your clients and that they may call you with questions or seek your assistance with the Fund's proxy solicitation. Accordingly, we want to provide you with any information or assistance you need in helping clients with respect to the solicitation. We request your assistance in encouraging your clients to vote their shares. Telephone and internet voting are available to most shareholders in accordance with the instructions received on their proxy cards or voting instruction forms.
At the meeting, shareholders are being asked to vote upon the election of the Fund's Class I Trustee and one Class II Trustee, and the approval of a new investment advisory agreement. The proposal to approve the new investment advisory agreement requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares. Accordingly, the vote of all shareholders, large and small, is important in approving the proposal on the new investment advisory agreement.
The Fund's Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, recommends that shareholders vote "FOR" the nominee for Class I Trustee, "FOR" the nominee for Class II trustee and "FOR" approval of the new investment advisory agreement.
The Fund has retained D.F. King & Co., Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the meeting. If shareholders have questions about the materials or need assistance voting their shares, they may call D.F. King at 1-800-488-8075 (toll-free). An officer of the Fund or a representative from D.F. King may call shareholders who have not voted at certain points in the solicitation. Please help the Fund save additional solicitation costs by encouraging your clients to vote their shares promptly.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Sincerely, |
/s/ Thomas I. Florence |
