RMR Real Estate Fund
December 31, 2007

To our shareholders,

In the pages that follow, you will find data summarizing our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2007, and our financial position as of December 31, 2007.

Relevant Market Conditions

Real Estate Industry Fundamentals. During 2007, commercial real estate vacancy rates generally remained stable and rents increased Nevertheless, earnings growth from commercial real estate companies began to slow in 2007 compared to prior years because of a general slowdown in the economy. The combination of an economic slowdown, investors concerns relating to weakness in the housing market and credit tightening by lenders led to a sharp decline in valuations for all publicly traded commercial real estate companies in the second half of 2007. Almost all real estate investment trusts, or REITs, experienced a sharp drop in value in the second half of 2007 because of investors concerns regarding any company involved in the real estate business. Furthermore, some REITs that had exposure to subprime mortgages filed for bankruptcy and the value of their securities became essentially worthless after they stopped paying dividends.

In 2008, we expect commercial real estate fundamentals to weaken because of slower economic growth and lower consumer and business confidence. However, higher construction costs and tighter credit markets may limit new supply of commercial real estate and help offset some of the anticipated slowdown in commercial real estate fundamentals. Before the end of 2008, we expect that valuations of REITs that invest directly in commercial real estate may improve in reaction to the sharp decline in their stock prices at the end of 2007 and in early 2008.

Real Estate Industry Technicals. After seven years of positive returns, REITs, as measured by the MSCI U.S. REIT Total Return Index (RMS) finished 2007 down 16.7%, marking one of the sector's worst performances ever. Last year was also one of the most volatile years for REITs. During the year, the RMS posted eight of the biggest one day moves since its inception in 1995. Between March and the end of 2007, investors withdrew more than $9 billion from dedicated REIT funds.

Fund Strategies, Techniques and Performance

Our primary investment objective is to earn and pay a high level of current income to our common shareholders by investing in real estate companies, including REITs. Our secondary investment objective is capital appreciation. There can be no assurances that we will meet our investment objectives.

During the year ended 2007, our total return on net asset value, or NAV (including NAV changes and assuming a hypothetical reinvestment of distributions at NAV), was negative 26.28%. During that same period, the total return for the MSCI U.S. REIT Total Return Index (an unmanaged index of REIT common stocks) was negative 16.7% and the total return for the Merrill Lynch REIT Preferred Index (an unmanaged

index of REIT preferred stocks) was negative 13.0%. We believe these two indices are relevant to us because our investments, excluding short term investments, as of December 31, 2007, included 64% REIT common stocks and 20% REIT preferred stocks. The S&P 500 Index (an unmanaged index published as Standard and Poor's Composite Index of 500 common stocks) total return for the year ended December 31, 2007 was 5.5%.

Our investment allocation to hotel and diversified REITs contributed positively to the Fund's performance in 2007. We benefited from our holdings in hotel REITs because of the high level of M&A activity that took place within this sector during the first half of 2007. The gains from M&A activity during the first half of the year also helped to offset losses experienced by the Fund when the general REIT market declined sharply in the second half of the year. Although we reduced our exposure to mortgage REITs during the year, our holdings in these companies also hurt our performance in 2007. At year end, mortgage REITs accounted for 0.1% of total assets.

Recent Developments. As I am writing this letter, continued turmoil in the credit markets is becoming a concern for our Fund. In particular, the market for auction rate securities seems to be experiencing a liquidity crisis. Although we believe our Fund's $50 million of auction rate preferred securities are well protected by asset coverage, the spill over effect from other auction rate securities may make it more difficult for our Fund to remarket these securities. If this occurs, the dividend rates we pay on our preferred securities may increase or we may be forced to substitute our outstanding preferred shares with less attractive forms of leverage. Any increase in the cost of leverage or decrease in the amount of leverage could adversely impact our performance and ability to maintain the current dividend rate paid to common shareholders in the future.

Thank you for your continued support. For more information, please view our website at www.rmrfunds.com.

Sincerely,

Adam D. Portnoy

(a): Commencement of operations.
(b): Based on average shares outstanding.
(c): Net asset value at December 18, 2003, reflects the deduction of the average sales load and offering costs of $0.67 per share paid by the holders of common shares from the $15.00 offering price. We paid a sales load of $0.68 per share on 6,660,000 common shares sold to the public and no sales load or offering costs on 7,000 common shares sold to affiliates of the RMR Advisors for $15.00 per share.
(d): Amounts are net of expenses waived by RMR Advisors.
(e): As discussed in Note A (6) to the financial statements, a portion of the distributions we received on our investments are not included in investment income for financial reporting purposes.
(f): The impact of net increase from payments by affiliates is less than $0.005/share.
(g): Total returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.
(h): Total return based on per share market price assumes the purchase of common shares at the market price on the first day and sales of common shares at the market price on the last day of the period indicated; dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed to be reinvested at market prices on the ex-dividend date. The total return based net asset value, or NAV, assumes the purchase of common shares at NAV on the first day and sales of common shares at NAV on the last day of the period indicated; distributions are assumed to be reinvested at NAV on the ex-dividend date. Results represent past performance and do not guarantee future results. Total return would have been lower if RMR Advisors had not contractually waived a portion of its investment advisory fee.
(i): Annualized.
(j): Asset coverage per share equals net assets attributable to common shares plus the liquidation preference of the preferred shares divided by the total number of preferred shares outstanding at the end of the period.

RMR Real Estate Fund
Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2007

Note A

(1) Organization

RMR Real Estate Fund, or the Fund, was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on July 2, 2002, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act, as a diversified closed-end management investment company. The Fund had no operations prior to December 18, 2003, other than matters relating to the Fund's establishment and registration of the Fund's common shares under the Securities Act of 1933.

(2) Use of Estimates

Preparation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Fund's management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. The actual results could differ from these estimates.

(3) Portfolio Valuation

Investment securities of the Fund are valued at the latest sales price whenever that price is readily available on that day; securities for which no sales were reported on that day, unless otherwise noted, are valued at the last available bid price on that day. Securities traded primarily on the NASDAQ Stock Market, or NASDAQ, are normally valued by the Fund at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price, or NOCP, provided by NASDAQ each business day. The NOCP is the most recently reported price as of 4:00:02 p.m., eastern time, unless that price is outside the range of the "inside" bid and asked prices (i.e., the bid and asked prices that dealers quote to each other when trading for their own accounts); in that case, NASDAQ will adjust the price to equal the inside bid or asked price, whichever is closer. Some fixed income securities may be valued using pricing provided by a pricing service. Any of the Fund's securities which are not readily marketable, which are not traded or which have other characteristics of illiquidity are valued by the Fund at fair value as determined in good faith under the supervision of the Fund's board of trustees. Numerous factors may be considered when determining fair value of a security, including cost at date of purchase, type of security, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security and whether the issuer of the security being fair valued has other securities of the same type outstanding. Short term debt securities with less than 60 days until maturity may be valued at cost, which when combined with interest accrued, approximates market value.

(4) Securities Transactions and Investment Income

Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income, including accretion of original issue discount, where applicable, and accretion of discount on short term investments, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

(5) Taxes

The Fund has qualified and intends to qualify in the future as a "regulated investment company" and to comply with the applicable provisions of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, so that it will generally not be subject to federal income tax. However, the Fund may be subject to a 4% excise tax to the extent the Fund does not distribute substantially all taxable earnings.

Some foreign governments may subject the Fund's investment income and securities sales to withholding or other taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2007, $420 of foreign taxes have been withheld from distributions to the Fund and recorded as a reduction of dividend income.

(6) Distributable Earnings

The Fund earns income, net of expenses, daily on its investments. It is the policy of the Fund to pay a stable distribution amount to common shareholders on a monthly basis and distributions to Fund shareholders are declared pursuant to this policy. On December 12, 2007, the Fund declared distributions of $0.10 per common share payable in January, February and March 2008 and a special distribution of $0.60 per common share payable in January 2008. The Fund paid the January regular distribution and special distribution on January 31, 2008. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund's distributions may consist of ordinary income (net investment income and short term capital gains), long term capital gains and return of capital. To the extent the Fund's net realized capital gains, if any, can be offset by capital loss carry-forwards, it is the policy of the Fund not to distribute such gains. Distributions to preferred shareholders are determined as described in Note D.

The Fund has substantial investments in real estate investment trusts, or REITs, which are generally not subject to federal income taxes. Distributions that the Fund receives from REITs can be classified as ordinary income, capital gain income or return of capital by the REITs that make these distributions to the Fund. The Fund has excluded from its investment income the portions of the distributions received from REITs classified by those REITs as capital gain income and return of capital. The Fund has included in its "net realized gain on investments" that portion of the distributions received from REITs that is classified by those REITs as capital gain income. Similarly, the Fund has credited its "net change in unrealized appreciation on investments" with that portion of the distributions received from REITs that is classified by those REITs as return of capital. The classification of distributions received from the Fund's investments were as follows:

	Year ended December 31, 2007		Year ended December 31, 2006
Ordinary income	$	8,954,018	$	8,163,300
Capital gain income		4,010,171		1,891,893
Return of capital		1,467,181		2,131,782

Total distributions received	$	14,431,370	$	12,186,975

The Fund distinguishes between distributions to shareholders on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Only distributions in excess of accumulated tax basis earnings and profits are reported in the financial statements as a tax return of capital. Differences in the recognition or classification of income between the financial statements and tax earnings and profits which result in temporary over distributions for financial statement purposes are classified as distributions in excess of net investment income or accumulated net realized gains in the components of net assets on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The tax character of distributions made by the Fund during the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, were as follows:

	Year ended December 31, 2007		Year ended December 31, 2006
Ordinary income	$	7,531,305	$	7,985,219
Net long term capital gains		9,580,075		2,569,421

	$	17,111,380	$	10,554,640

As of December 31, 2007, the components of distributable earnings on a federal income tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income	$	—
Undistributed net long-term capital gains		2,031,733
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation)		(11,676,581	)

The differences between the financial reporting basis and tax basis of undistributed net long term capital gains and net unrealized appreciation/depreciation are due to wash sales of portfolio investments.

The cost, gross unrealized appreciation and unrealized depreciation of the Fund's investments for federal income tax purposes as of December 31, 2007, are as follows:

Cost	$	151,369,704

Gross unrealized appreciation	$	9,166,984
Gross unrealized depreciation		(20,843,565	)

Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation)	$	(11,676,581	)

(7) Concentration of Risk

Under normal market conditions, the Fund's investments will be concentrated in income producing common shares, preferred shares and debt securities, including convertible preferred and debt securities, issued by real estate companies and REITS. The value of Fund shares may fluctuate more than the shares of a fund not concentrated in the real estate industry due to economic, legal, regulatory, technological or other developments affecting the United States real estate industry.

(8) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

associated with a tax position is measured as the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. As required, the Fund has adopted FIN 48 effective June 29, 2007, and concluded that the effect is not material to its financial statements. As of and during the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. Each of the tax years in the three year period ended December 31, 2007, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

In September 2006, FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements", or SFAS 157, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands required disclosures about fair value measurements. Management has evaluated the application of the Statement to the Fund, and believes the impact will be limited to expanded financial statement disclosures.

Note B

Advisory and Administration Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates

The Fund has an advisory agreement with RMR Advisors, Inc., or RMR Advisors, to provide the Fund with a continuous investment program, to make day-to-day investment decisions and to generally manage the business affairs of the Fund in accordance with its investment objectives and policies. Pursuant to the agreement, RMR Advisors is compensated at an annual rate of 0.85% of the Fund's average daily managed assets. Managed assets means the total assets of the Fund less liabilities other than any indebtedness entered into for purposes of leverage. For purposes of calculating managed assets, the liquidation preference of preferred shares is not considered a liability.

RMR Advisors has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its annual fee equal to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily managed assets from December 18, 2003 until December 18, 2008. The Fund incurred net advisory fees of $1,028,910 during the year ended December 31, 2007. The amount of fees waived by the Advisor was $428,713 for the year ended December 31, 2007.

RMR Advisors, and not the Fund, has contractually agreed to pay the lead underwriter of the Fund's initial public offering, an annual fee equal to 0.15% of the Fund's managed assets. This fee is paid quarterly in arrears during the term of RMR Advisors' advisory agreement and is paid by RMR Advisors, not the Fund. The aggregate fees paid pursuant to the contract plus reimbursement of legal expenses of the underwriters in that offering will not exceed 4.5% of the total price of the common shares in the initial public offering.

RMR Advisors also performs administrative functions for the Fund pursuant to an administration agreement with the Fund. RMR Advisors has entered into a subadministration agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company, or State Street, to perform substantially all Fund accounting and other administrative services. Under the administration agreement, RMR Advisors is entitled to reimbursement of the cost of providing administrative services. The Fund reimbursed RMR Advisors for $109,271 of subadministrative fees charged by State Street for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Each trustee who is not a director, officer or employee of RMR Advisors and who is not an "interested person" of the Fund as defined under the 1940 Act is considered to be a "disinterested trustee". Disinterested trustees are each paid by the Fund an annual fee plus fees for board and committee meetings. The Fund incurred $21,606 of trustee fees and expenses during the year ended December 31, 2007.

The Fund's board of trustees and separately the disinterested trustees authorized the Fund to make reimbursement payments to RMR Advisors for costs related to the Fund's compliance and internal audit programs. The Fund incurred $29,725 of compliance and internal audit expense during the year ended December 31, 2007. The Fund also participates in pooled insurance programs with RMR Advisors and other funds managed by RMR Advisors and makes payments of allocated portions of related premiums. The Fund incurred $17,892 of insurance expense during the year ended December 31, 2007.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, RMR Advisors reimbursed the Fund in the amount of $2,070 for trading losses incurred by the Fund due to a trading error.

Note C

Securities Transactions

During the year ended December 31, 2007, there were purchases and sales transactions (excluding short term securities) of $88,159,820 and $84,315,531 respectively. Brokerage commissions on securities transactions amounted to $117,849 during the year ended December 31, 2007.

Note D

Preferred Shares

The Fund's 2,000 outstanding Series T auction preferred shares have a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share plus an amount equal to accumulated but unpaid distributions. The preferred shares are senior to the Fund's common shares and rank on parity with any other class or series of preferred shares of the Fund as to the payment of periodic distributions, including distribution of assets upon liquidation. If the Fund does not timely cure a failure to (1) maintain asset coverage for the preferred shares as required by rating agencies, or (2) maintain asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, of at least 200%, the preferred shares will be subject to redemption in an amount equal to their liquidation preference plus accumulated but unpaid distributions. The holders of the preferred shares have voting rights equal to the holders of the Fund's common shares and generally vote together with the holders of the common shares as a single class. Holders of the preferred shares, voting as a separate class, also are entitled to elect two of the Fund's trustees. The Fund pays distributions on the preferred shares at a rate set at auctions held generally every seven days. Distributions are generally payable every seven days, on the first business day following the end of a distribution period. The preferred share distribution rate was 5.40% per annum as of December 31, 2007.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and
Shareholders of RMR Real Estate Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of RMR Real Estate Fund (the "Fund") as of December 31, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of RMR Real Estate Fund at December 31, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

RMR Hospitality and Real Estate Fund
December 31, 2007

To our shareholders,

In the pages that follow, you will find data summarizing our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2007, and our financial position as of December 31, 2007.

Relevant Market Conditions

Hospitality Industry Fundamentals. In the first half of 2007, the hotel sector witnessed an unprecedented level of M&A activity. Five public hotel real estate investment trusts, or REITs, and one major hotel operating company, Hilton Hotels and Resorts, were taken private. This M&A activity stopped in the second half of 2007 because of credit tightening by lenders.

Operating fundamentals for hotels were solid in 2007. Industry-wide revenue per available room, or RevPar, growth was healthy at 5.7% with hotel occupancies were unchanged compared to 2006 at about 65% according to Smith Travel Research. Luxury hotels in urban markets outperformed all other segments because of an undersupply of hotels in a few major markets and strong demand from foreign travelers in major cities.

In 2008, RevPar growth expectations for the industry are in the range of 5 - 7%. However, at least one hotel company recently lowered its 2008 projections because of the slowdown in the economy in the second half of 2007. We expect other hotel companies may also lower expectations, but to assert that positive RevPar growth may be achievable in 2008. For example, at the beginning of 2008, hotel companies generally indicated that advance bookings were solid for the coming year and there has been no notable reduction in room rates. In addition, there is currently limited new hotel supply because of high construction costs, with supply growth forecasted at only 2% for the next few years.

Real Estate Industry Fundamentals. During 2007, commercial real estate vacancy rates generally remained stable and rents increased modestly. Nevertheless, earnings growth from commercial real estate companies began to slow in 2007 compared to prior years because of a general slowdown in the economy. The combination of an economic slowdown, investors concerns relating to weakness in the housing market and credit tightening by lenders led to a sharp decline in valuations for all publicly traded commercial real estate companies in the second half of 2007. Almost all REITs experienced a sharp drop in value in the second half of 2007 because of investors concerns regarding any company involved in the real estate business. Furthermore, some REITs that had exposure to subprime mortgages filed for bankruptcy and the value of their securities became essentially worthless after they stopped paying dividends.

In 2008, we expect commercial real estate fundamentals may weaken because of slower economic growth and lower consumer and business confidence. However, higher construction costs and tighter credit markets may limit new supply of commercial real estate and help offset some of the anticipated slowdown in commercial real estate fundamentals. Before the end of 2008, we expect that valuations of REITs that invest directly in commercial real estate may improve in reaction to the sharp decline in their stock prices at the end of 2007 and in early 2008.

Real Estate Industry Technicals. After seven years of positive returns, REITs, as measured by the MSCI U.S. REIT Index (RMS) finished 2007 down 16.7%, marking one of the sector's worst performances ever. Last year was also one of the most volatile years for REITs. During the year, the RMS posted eight of the biggest one day moves since its inception in 1995. Between March and the end of 2007, investors withdrew more than $9 billion from dedicated REIT funds.

Fund Strategies, Techniques and Performance

Our primary objective is to earn and pay to our common shareholders a high level of current income by investing in hospitality and real estate companies. Our secondary objective is capital appreciation. There can be no assurance that we will achieve our investment objectives.

During 2007, our total return on net asset value, or NAV (including NAV changes and assuming a hypothetical reinvestment of distributions at NAV), was negative 28.15%. During that same period, the total return for the MSCI U.S. REIT Total Return Index (an unmanaged index of REIT common stocks) was negative 16.7% and the total return for the Merrill Lynch REIT Preferred Index (an unmanaged index of REIT preferred stocks) was negative 13.0%. We believe these two indices are relevant to us because our investments, excluding short term investments, as of December 31, 2007, included 54% REIT common stocks and 29% REIT preferred stocks. The S&P 500 Index (an unmanaged index published as Standard and Poor's Composite Index of 500 common stocks) total return for the year ended December 31, 2007 was 5.5%.

Recent Developments. As I am writing this letter, continued turmoil in the credit markets is becoming a concern for our Fund. In particular, the market for auction rate securities seems to be experiencing a liquidity crisis. Although we believe our Fund's $28 million of auction rate preferred securities are well protected by asset coverage, the spill over effect from other auction rate securities may make it more difficult for our Fund to remarket these securities. If this occurs, the dividend rates we pay on our preferred securities may increase or we may be forced to substitute our outstanding preferred shares with less attractive forms of leverage. Any increase in the cost of leverage or decrease in the amount of leverage could adversely impact our performance and ability to maintain the current dividend rate paid to common shareholders in the future.

Thank you for your continued support. For more information, please view our website at www.rmrfunds.com.

Sincerely,

Adam D. Portnoy

(c): Net asset value at April 27,2004, reflects the deduction of the average sales load and offering costs of $0.72 per share paid by the holders of common shares from the $20.00 offering price. We paid a sales load and offering cost of $0.90 per share on 2,000,000 common shares sold to the public and no sales load or offering costs on 480,000 common shares sold to affiliates of RMR Advisors for $20 per share.
(d): Amounts are net of expenses waived by RMR Advisors.
(e): As discussed in Note A (6) to the financial statements, a portion of the distributions we received on our investments are not included in investment income for financial reporting purposes.
(f): The impact of the net increase in payments by affiliates is less than $0.005/share.
(g): Total returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.
(h): Total return based on per share market price assumes the purchase of common shares at the market price on the first day and sales of common shares at the market price on the last day of the period indicated; dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed to be reinvested at market prices on the ex-dividend date. The total return based net asset value, or NAV, assumes the purchase of common shares at NAV on the first day and sales of common shares at NAV on the last day of the period indicated; distributions are assumed to be reinvested at NAV on the ex-dividend date. Results represent past performance and do not guarantee future results. Total return would have been lower if RMR Advisors had not contractually waived a portion of its investment advisory fee.
(i): Annualized.
(j): Asset coverage per share equals net assets attributable to common shares plus the liquidation preference of the preferred shares divided by the total number of preferred shares outstanding at the end of the period.

RMR Hospitality and Real Estate Fund
Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2007

Note A

(1) Organization

RMR Hospitality and Real Estate Fund, or the Fund, was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on January 27, 2004, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act, as a diversified closed-end management investment company. The Fund had no operations until April 27, 2004, other than matters relating to the Fund's establishment and registration of the Fund's common shares under the Securities Act of 1933.

(2) Use of Estimates

(3) Portfolio Valuation

(4) Securities Transactions and Investment Income

(5) Taxes

Some foreign governments may subject the Fund's investment income and securities sales to withholding or other taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2007, $210 of foreign taxes have been withheld from distributions to the Fund and recorded as a reduction of dividend income.

(6) Distributable Earnings

The Fund earns income, net of expenses, daily on its investments. It is the policy of the Fund to pay a stable distribution amount to common shareholders on a monthly basis and distributions to Fund shareholders are declared pursuant to this policy. On December 12, 2007, the Fund declared distributions of $0.125 per common share payable in January, February and March 2008. The Fund paid the January distribution on January 31, 2008. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund's distributions may consist of ordinary income (net investment income and short term capital gains), long term capital gains and return of capital. To the extent the Fund's net realized capital gains, if any, can be offset by capital loss carry-forwards, it is the policy of the Fund not to distribute such gains. Distributions to preferred shareholders are determined as described in Note D.

(7) Concentration of Risk

Under normal market conditions, the Fund's investments are concentrated in income producing common shares, preferred shares and debt securities, including convertible preferred and debt securities, issued by hospitality and real estate companies and REITs. The value of Fund shares may fluctuate more than the shares of a fund not concentrated in the hospitality and real estate industries due to economic, legal, regulatory, technological or other developments affecting the United States hospitality and real estate industries.

(8) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

associated with a tax position is measured as the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. As required, the Fund has adopted FIN 48 effective June 29, 2007, and concluded that the effect is not material to its financial statements. Each of the tax years in the three year period ended December 31, 2007, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Note B

Advisory and Administration Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates

RMR Advisors has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its annual fee equal to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily managed assets from April 27, 2004 until April 27, 2009. The Fund incurred net advisory fees of $513,427 during the year ended December 31, 2007. The amount of fees waived by the Advisor was $213,928 for the year ended December 31, 2007.

RMR Advisors also performs administrative functions for the Fund pursuant to an administration agreement with the Fund. RMR Advisors has entered into a subadministration agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company, or State Street, to perform substantially all Fund accounting and other administrative services. Under the administration agreement, RMR Advisors is entitled to reimbursement of the cost of providing administrative services. The Fund reimbursed RMR Advisors for $108,000 of subadministrative fees charged by State Street for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Each trustee who is not a director, officer or employee of RMR Advisors and who is not an "interested person" of the Fund as defined under the 1940 Act is considered to be a "disinterested trustee". Disinterested trustees are each paid by the Fund an annual fee plus fees for board and committee meetings. The Fund incurred $49,431 of trustee fees and expenses during the year ended December 31, 2007.

Fund incurred $29,725 of compliance and internal audit expense during the year ended December 31, 2007.

Note C

Note D

Preferred Shares

The Fund's 1,120 outstanding Series Th auction preferred shares have a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share plus an amount equal to accumulated but unpaid distributions. The preferred shares are senior to the Fund's common shares and rank on parity with any other class or series of preferred shares of the Fund as to the payment of periodic distributions, including distribution of assets upon liquidation. If the Fund does not timely cure a failure to (1) maintain asset coverage for the preferred shares as required by rating agencies, or (2) maintain asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, of at least 200%, the preferred shares will be subject to redemption in an amount equal to their liquidation preference plus accumulated but unpaid distributions. The holders of the preferred shares have voting rights equal to the holders of the Fund's common shares and generally vote together with the holders of the common shares as a single class. Holders of the preferred shares, voting as a separate class, also are entitled to elect two of the Fund's trustees. The Fund pays distributions on the preferred shares at a rate set at auctions held generally every seven days. Distributions are generally payable every seven days, on the first business day following the end of a distribution period. The preferred share distribution rate was 5.30% per annum as of December 31, 2007.

Litigation and Legal Fees

The Fund is involved in litigation with Bulldog Investors General Partnership, a hedge fund controlled by Mr. Phillip Goldstein and various affiliated entities and persons (collectively Bulldog). The purpose of this litigation is to enforce provisions of the Fund's organizational documents which limit ownership of the Fund and that appear to have been intentionally violated by Bulldog and to recover damages from Bulldog arising from its unfair business practices. This litigation was begun by the Fund in November 2006 after extended correspondence with Bulldog. Bulldog commenced a proxy contest to elect Mr. Goldstein and another Bulldog affiliate at the Fund's 2007 annual meeting and to promote various shareholder proposals; Bulldog's nominees were not elected and its proposals were not adopted at the 2007 annual meeting in March 2007. In May 2007, Bulldog's motion to dismiss the pending litigation was denied by the Massachusetts Superior

Court. In September 2007, Bulldog's motion to remove the litigation to the federal courts was denied. In June 2007, the Fund amended its litigation against Bulldog to seek recovery of its expenses incurred in connection with Bulldog's activities. Bulldog has recently filed another motion to dismiss which the Fund is opposing. In July 2007, Bulldog made a demand upon the Fund's board of trustees pursuant to the Massachusetts Universal Demand Statute which appeared to be a prelude to a possible derivative action against the Fund or its trustees. The Fund's independent trustees investigated Bulldog's allegations and found them to be without merit. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund incurred approximately $1,958,751 of expense in connection with the Bulldog litigation and related matters.

To our shareholders,

In the pages that follow, you will find data summarizing our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2007, and our financial position as of December 31, 2007.

Relevant Market Conditions

Financial Services Industry Fundamentals. At the beginning of 2007, the world financial markets were awash with liquidity. The first indications of problems in the financial markets occurred in early 2007 when the subprime mortgage crisis began to emerge. By mid-year, the problems in the subprime mortgage markets had spread and led to a widespread liquidity and credit crisis that was felt across the global financial markets. By late 2007, banks started reporting large write-offs related to investments in subprime mortgages, structured investment vehicles and derivatives tied to a falling housing market. This led further to reductions in dividends on securities issued by many financial services companies.

As the crisis continued to unfold in late 2007, the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank along with other countries' central banks injected liquidity into financial markets. By year-end, the Fed had cut interest rates three times for a total of one percentage point. We believe the aggressive rate cuts by the Fed may prevent the U.S. economy from falling into a recession in 2008. However, the financial services sector will have a hard time, in our view, avoiding an earnings recession in 2008.

Real Estate Industry Fundamentals. During 2007, commercial real estate vacancy rates generally remained stable and rents increased modestly. Nevertheless, earnings growth from commercial real estate companies began to slow in 2007 compared to prior years because of a general slowdown in the economy. The combination of an economic slowdown, investors concerns relating to weakness in the housing market and credit tightening by lenders led to a sharp decline in valuations for all publicly traded commercial real estate companies in the second half of 2007. Almost all real estate investment trusts, or REITs, experienced a sharp drop in value in the second half of 2007 because of investors concerns regarding any company involved in the real estate business. Furthermore, some REITs that had exposure to subprime mortgages filed for bankruptcy and the value of their securities became essentially worthless after they stopped paying dividends.

Fund Strategies, Techniques and Performance

Our investment objective is to provide high total returns to our common shareholders through a combination of capital appreciation and current income. There can be no assurance that we will achieve our investment objective.

During 2007, our total return on net asset value, or NAV (including NAV changes and assuming a hypothetical reinvestment of distributions at NAV), was negative 39.4%. During the same period the S&P 500 Financial Sector Index (an unmanaged index of financial services common stocks) total return negative 18.0%, the total return for the MSCI U.S. REIT Total Return Index (an unmanaged index of REIT common stocks) was negative 16.7% and negative 13.0%. We believe these three indices are relevant to us because our investments, excluding short term investments, as of December 31, 2007, included 18% financial services stocks, 38% REIT common stocks and 35% REIT preferred stocks. The S&P 500 Index (an unmanaged index published as Standard and Poor's Composite Index of 500 common stocks) total return for 2007 was 5.5%.

In 2007, the Fund experienced a significant decline in NAV and income earned from its investments. The Fund's negative performance was primarily because of its concentrations in bank stocks and mortgage REITs, both of which significantly declined in value. Unless market conditions improve significantly, in the coming year the Fund may be forced to reduce its dividend payment rate to adjust for its decline in earnings. Under these circumstances, the Fund may also consider other actions to reduce its expenses and enhance value for shareholders.

Recent Developments. As I am writing this letter, continued turmoil in the credit markets is becoming a concern for our Fund. In particular, the market for auction rate securities seems to be experiencing a liquidity crisis. Although we believe our Fund's $16 million of auction rate preferred securities are well protected by asset coverage, the spill over effect from other auction rate securities may make it more difficult for our Fund to remarket these securities. If this occurs, the dividend rates we pay on our preferred securities may increase or we may be forced to substitute our outstanding preferred shares with less attractive forms of leverage. Any increase in the cost of leverage or decrease in the amount of leverage could adversely impact our performance and may lead to a reduction in the dividend rate paid to common shareholders in the future.

Thank you for your continued support. For more information, please view our website at www.rmrfunds.com.

Sincerely,

Adam D. Portnoy
President

(a): Commencement of operations.
(b): Based on average shares outstanding.
(c): Net asset value at November 22, 2004, reflects the deduction of the average sales load and offering costs of $0.97 per share paid by the holders of common share from the $25.00 offering price. We paid a sales load and offering cost of $1.125 per share on 1,280,000 common shares sold to the public and no sales load or offering costs on 200,000 common shares sold to affiliates of RMR Advisors for $25 per share.
(d): Amounts are net of expenses waived by RMR Advisors.
(e): As discussed in Note A (6) to the financial statements, a portion of the distributions we received on our investments are not included in investment income for financial reporting purposes.
(f): The impact of the net increase in payments by affiliates is less than $0.005/share.
(g): Total returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.
(h): Total return based on per share market price assumes the purchase of common shares at the market price on the first day and sales of common shares at the market price on the last day of the period indicated; dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed to be reinvested at market prices on the ex-dividend date. The total return based net asset value, or NAV, assumes the purchase of common shares at NAV on the first day and sales of common shares at NAV on the last day of the period indicated; distributions are assumed to be reinvested at NAV on the ex-dividend date. Results represent past performance and do not guarantee future results. Total return would have been lower if RMR Advisors had not contractually waived a portion of its investment advisory fee.
(i): Annualized.
(j): Asset coverage per share equals net assets attributable to common shares plus the liquidation preference of the preferred shares divided by the total number of preferred shares outstanding at the end of the period.

December 31, 2007

Note A

(1) Organization

RMR F.I.R.E. Fund, or the Fund, was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on August 6, 2004, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the 1940 Act, as a diversified closed-end management investment company. The Fund had no operations until November 22, 2004, other than matters relating to the Fund's establishment and registration of the Fund's common shares under the Securities Act of 1933.

(2) Use of Estimates

(3) Portfolio Valuation

(4) Securities Transactions and Investment Income

(5) Taxes

(6) Distributable Earnings

The Fund earns income, net of expenses, daily on its investments. It is the policy of the Fund to pay a stable distribution amount to common shareholders on a monthly basis and distributions to Fund shareholders are declared pursuant to this policy. On December 12, 2007, the Fund declared distributions of $0.146 per common share payable in January, February and March 2008. The Fund paid its January distribution on January 31, 2008. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund's distributions may consist of ordinary income (net investment income and short term capital gains), long term capital gains and return of capital. To the extent the Fund's net realized capital gains, if any, can be offset by capital loss carry forwards, it is the policy of the Fund not to distribute such gains. Distributions to preferred shareholders are determined as described in Note D.

	Year ended December 31, 2007		Year ended December 31, 2006
Ordinary income	$	3,051,614	$	3,287,880
Capital gain income		831,001		662,485
Return of capital		342,929		419,306

Total distributions received	$	4,225,544	$	4,369,671

The tax character of distributions made by the Fund during the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, were as follows:

	Year ended December 31, 2007		Year ended December 31, 2006
Ordinary income	$	2,291,228	$	3,122,947
Net long term capital gains		1,343,808		429,997

	$	3,635,036	$	3,552,944

As of December 31, 2007, the components of distributable earnings on a federal income tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income	$	269,889
Accumulated capital and other losses		(1,629,794	)
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation)		(13,378,434	)

On December 31, 2007, the Fund had a net capital loss carry forward for federal income tax purposes of $1,159,105 all of which expires in the year 2015.

Under current tax law, certain capital and net foreign currency losses realized after October 31 within the taxable year may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following tax year. For the tax year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund elected to defer net capital losses of $470,689 arising between November 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007.

The differences between the financial reporting basis and tax basis of undistributed ordinary income, undistributed net long term capital gains and net unrealized appreciation/depreciation are due to wash sales of portfolio investments.

The cost of investments for federal income tax purposes, gross unrealized appreciation and unrealized depreciation as of December 31, 2007, are as follows:

Cost	$	51,535,904

Gross unrealized appreciation	$	600,764
Gross unrealized depreciation		(13,979,198	)

Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation)	$	(13,378,434	)

(7) Concentration of Risk

Under normal market conditions, the Fund's investments will be concentrated in income producing common shares and preferred shares issued by F.I.R.E. companies. F.I.R.E. is a commonly used acronym for financial services, insurance and real estate companies. The value of Fund shares may fluctuate more than the shares of a fund not concentrated in the F.I.R.E. industries due to economic, legal, regulatory, technological or other developments affecting the United States F.I.R.E. industries.

(8) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109", or FIN 48. FIN 48 was effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Securities and Exchange Commission delayed the application of FIN 48 to open and closed end funds to not later than June 29, 2007. FIN 48 prescribes how the Fund should recognize, measure and present in the Fund's financial statements uncertain tax provisions that have been taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Pursuant to FIN 48 the Fund can recognize a tax benefit only if it is "more likely than not" that a particular tax position will be sustained upon examination or audit. To the extent the "more likely than not" standard has been satisfied the benefits associated with a tax position is measured as the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. As required, the Fund has adopted FIN 48 effective June 29, 2007, and concluded that the effect is not material to its financial statements. Each of the tax years in the three year period ended December 31, 2007, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Note B

Advisory and Administration Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates

RMR Advisors has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its annual fee equal to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily managed assets from November 22, 2004 until November 22, 2009. The Fund incurred net advisory fees of $308,006 during the year ended December 31, 2007. The amount of fees waived by the Advisor was $128,336 for the year ended December 31, 2007.

providing administrative services. The Fund reimbursed RMR Advisors for $108,000 of subadministrative fees charged by State Street for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Each trustee who is not a director, officer or employee of RMR Advisors and who is not an "interested person" of the Fund as defined under the 1940 Act is considered to be a "disinterested trustee". Disinterested trustees are each paid by the Fund an annual fee plus fees for board and committee meetings. The Fund incurred $21,431 of trustee fees and expenses during the year ended December 31, 2007.

The Fund's board of trustees and separately the disinterested trustees authorized the Fund to make reimbursement payments to RMR Advisors for costs related to the Fund's compliance and internal audit programs.

Note D

Preferred Shares

In December 2004, the Fund issued 800 Series W auction preferred shares with a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share plus an amount equal to accumulated but unpaid distributions. On December 27, 2007, the Fund redeemed 80 preferred shares with a liquidation preference of $2,000,000. The preferred shares are senior to the Fund's common shares and rank on parity with any other class or series of preferred shares of the Fund as to the payment of periodic distributions, including distribution of assets upon liquidation. If the Fund does not timely cure a failure to (1) maintain asset coverage for the preferred shares as required by rating agencies, or (2) maintain asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, of at least 200%, the preferred shares will be subject to redemption in an amount equal to their liquidation preference plus accumulated but unpaid distributions. The holders of the preferred shares have voting rights equal to the holders of the Fund's common shares and generally vote together with the holders of the common shares as a single class. Holders of the preferred shares, voting as a separate class, also are entitled to elect two of the Fund's trustees. The Fund pays distributions on the preferred shares at a rate set at auctions held generally every seven days. Distributions are generally payable every seven days, on the first business day following the end of a distribution period. The preferred share distribution rate was 5.40% per annum as of December 31, 2007. On January 17, 2008, the Fund redeemed an additional 80 preferred shares with a liquidation preference of $2,000,000.

RMR Preferred Dividend Fund
December 31, 2007

To our shareholders,

In the pages that follow, you will find data summarizing our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2007, and our financial position as of December 31, 2007.

Relevant Market Conditions

Preferred Securities Market Overview. During 2007, the U.S. preferred securities market suffered one of the worst annual returns in years. Preferred securities issued by real estate investment trusts, or REITs, were especially negatively affected by the subprime mortgage crisis which began in early 2007. Several mortgage REITs with exposure to subprime mortgages filed for bankruptcy and the value of their preferred securities became essentially worthless after they stopped paying preferred dividends. Several commercial REITs also saw the price of their preferred securities decline in 2007.

The issuance of new preferred securities by non-REITs was strong throughout the year but intensified in the fourth quarter as financial institutions priced large deals in an effort to increase their equity capital. This issuance of highly rated and high dividend paying securities effective depressed the value of outstanding REIT preferred securities; and the issuance of new preferred securities by REITs declined significantly by mid-year because the terms had become very expensive for the issuers.

Fund Strategies, Techniques and Performance

Our primary investment objective is to provide our common shareholders high current income. Our secondary investment objective is capital appreciation. There can be no assurance that we will achieve our investment objectives.

During 2007 our total return on net asset value, or NAV (including NAV changes and assuming a hypothetical reinvestment of distributions at NAV), was negative 35.94%. During that same period, the total return for the Merrill Lynch REIT Preferred Index (an unmanaged index of REIT preferred stocks) was negative 13.0%. We believe this index is relevant to us because our investments as of December 31, 2007, excluding short term investments, included 70% REIT preferred stocks. The S&P 500 Index (an unmanaged index published as Standard and Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks) total return for 2007 was 5.5%.

In 2007, the Fund experienced a significant decline in NAV and income earned from its investments. The Fund's negative performance was primarily because of its concentrations in preferred securities issued by mortgage REITs, which significantly declined in value. Unless market conditions improve significantly, in the coming year the Fund may be forced to reduce its dividend payment rate to adjust for the decline in earnings. Under these circumstances, the Fund may also consider other actions to reduce expenses and enhance value for shareholders.

Recent Developments

As I am writing this letter, continued turmoil in the credit markets is becoming a concern for our Fund. In particular, the market for auction rate securities seems to be experiencing a liquidity crisis. Although we believe our Fund's $22.5 million of auction rate preferred securities are well protected by asset coverage, the spill over effect from other auction rate securities may make it more difficult for our Fund to remarket these securities. If this occurs, the dividend rates we pay on our preferred securities may increase or we may be forced to substitute our outstanding preferred shares with less attractive forms of leverage. Any increase in the cost of leverage or decrease in the amount of leverage could adversely impact our performance and may lead to a reduction in the dividend rate paid to common shareholders in the future.

Thank you for your continued support. For more information, please view our website at www.rmrfunds.com.

Sincerely,

Adam D. Portnoy

We paid a sales load and offering cost of $0.94 per share on 2,237,500 common shares sold to the public and no sales load or offering costs on 67,500 common shares sold to affiliates of RMR Advisors for $20 per share.
(c): Based on average shares outstanding.
(d): Amounts are net of expenses waived by RMR Advisors.
(e): As discussed in Note A (6) to the financial statements, a portion of the distributions we received on our investments are not included in investment income for financial reporting purposes.
(f): Amount is less than $.005/share.
(g): Total returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.
(h): Total return based on per share market price assumes the purchase of common shares at the market price on the first day and sales of common shares at the market price on the last day of the period indicated; dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed to be reinvested at market prices on the ex-dividend date. The total return based net asset value, or NAV, assumes the purchase of common shares at NAV on the first day and sales of common shares at NAV on the last day of the period indicated; distributions are assumed to be reinvested at NAV on the ex-dividend date. Results represent past performance and do not guarantee future results. Total return would have been lower if RMR Advisors had not contractually waived a portion of its investment advisory fee.
(i): Annualized.
(j): Asset coverage per share equals net assets attributable to common shares plus the liquidation preference of the preferred shares divided by the total number of preferred shares outstanding at the end of the period.

(6) Distributable Earnings

The Fund earns income, net of expenses, daily on its investments. It is the policy of the Fund to pay a stable distribution amount to common shareholders on a monthly basis and distributions to Fund shareholders are declared pursuant to this policy. On December 12, 2007, the Fund declared distributions of $0.15 per common share payable in January, February and March 2008. The Fund paid its January distribution on January 31, 2008. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund's distributions may consist of ordinary income (net investment income and short term capital gains), long term capital gains and return of capital. To the extent the Fund's net realized capital gains, if any, can be offset by capital loss carry forwards, it is the policy of the Fund not to distribute such gains. Distributions to preferred shareholders are determined as described in Note D.

	Year Ended December 31, 2007		Year ended December 31, 2006
Ordinary income	$	4,267,199	$	4,838,453

Gross unrealized appreciation		118,057
Gross unrealized depreciation		(14,131,558	)

Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation)	$	(14,013,501	)

(7) Concentration of Risk

Under normal market conditions, the Fund's investments will be concentrated in preferred securities issued by real estate investment trusts. The value of Fund shares may fluctuate more than the shares of a fund not concentrated in the real estate industry due to economic, legal, regulatory, technological or other developments affecting the United States real estate industry.

(8) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

tax provisions that have been taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Pursuant to FIN 48 the Fund can recognize a tax benefit only if it is "more likely than not" that a particular tax position will be sustained upon examination or audit. To the extent the "more likely than not" standard has been satisfied the benefits associated with a tax position is measured as the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. As required, the Fund has adopted FIN 48 effective June 29, 2007, and concluded that the effect is not material to its financial statements. Each of the tax years in the three year period ended December 31, 2007, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

In September 2006, FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements", or SFAS 157, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands required disclosures about fair value measurements. Management has evaluated the application of the Statement to the Fund and believes the impact will be limited to expanded financial statement disclosures.

(9) Common Shares

The Fund issued 33,350 and 23,877 common shares during the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, for a total consideration of $516,595 and $435,418 respectively, pursuant to its dividend reinvestment plan.

Note B

Advisory and Administration Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates

RMR Advisors has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its annual fee equal to 0.55% of the Fund's average daily managed assets from May 25, 2005 until May 24, 2010. The Fund incurred net advisory fees of $190,255 during the year ended December 31, 2007. The amount of fees waived by the Advisor was $348,801 for the year ended December 31, 2007.

RMR Advisors also performs administrative functions for the Fund pursuant to an administration agreement with the Fund. RMR Advisors has entered into a subadministration agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company, or State Street, to perform substantially all Fund accounting and other administrative services. Under the administration agreement, RMR Advisors is entitled to reimbursement of the cost of providing administrative services. The Fund reimbursed RMR Advisors for $108,007 of subadministrative fees charged by State Street for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Each trustee who is not a director, officer or employee of RMR Advisors and who is not an "interested person" of the Fund as defined under the 1940 Act is considered to be a "disinterested trustee". Disinterested trustees are each paid by the Fund an annual fee plus fees for board and committee meetings. The Fund incurred $21,431 of trustee fees and expenses during the year ended December 31, 2007.

Note D

The preferred shares are senior to the Fund's common shares and rank on parity with any other class or series of preferred shares of the Fund as to the payment of periodic distributions, including distribution of assets upon liquidation. If the Fund does not timely cure a failure to (1) maintain asset coverage for the preferred shares as required by rating agencies, or (2) maintain asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, of at least 200%, the preferred shares will be subject to redemption in an amount equal to their liquidation preference plus accumulated but unpaid distributions. The holders of the preferred shares have voting rights equal to the holders of the Fund's common shares and generally vote together with the holders of the common shares as a single class. Holders of the preferred shares, voting as a separate class, also are entitled to elect two of the Fund's trustees. The Fund pays distributions on the preferred shares at a rate set at auctions held generally every seven days. Distributions are generally payable every seven days, on the first business day following the end of a distribution period. The preferred share distribution rate was 5.40% per annum as of December 31, 2007.

RMR Asia Pacific Real Estate Fund
December 31, 2007

To our shareholders,

In the pages that follow, you will find data summarizing our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2007, and our financial position as of December 31, 2007.

Relevant Market Conditions

Real Estate Industry Fundamentals. In 2008, we expect commercial real estate fundamentals in the Asia Pacific region to remain healthy due to strong leasing demand. Office market vacancy rates are expected to remain low in Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo. Strong national income growth in all countries, except for Japan, should lead to growing retail sales and rising rents for retail property. The industrial real estate sector is expected to do well because logistics networks are developing in emerging countries. Residential real estate prices are expected to increase because of rising incomes and the urbanization process underway in China and India.

Economic growth in the coming year is expected to remain strong. The International Monetary Fund expects 8.6% GDP growth for developing Asia and 1.5% for Japan. Real estate companies in the region are generally conservatively financed. However, the credit tightening by lenders across the globe may slow the rate of growth for some real estate companies in 2008.

Real Estate Industry Technicals. We expect continued strong demand for real estate investments in the Asia Pacific region in the coming year. High personal savings rates and attractive real estate yields are expected to result in increasing stock values for real estate companies in the region, especially real estate companies that pay a regular dividend, such as real estate investment trusts, or REITs. With the exception of Australia, property yields in the region typically are 2-3% higher than long term government bond yields. The number of REITs in the region continues to grow, and several countries are currently considering initiating REIT legislation, including the Philippines, India and China.

Fund Strategies, Techniques and Performance

Our primary investment objective is capital appreciation. There can be no assurance that we will achieve our investment objective.

Although the Fund's primary investment objective is capital appreciation (rather than pay high income), it made two one time distributions to shareholders in 2007. In September and December, the Fund paid shareholders $1.52 per share and $4.45 per share, respectively. This combined $5.97 per share of distributions in 2007 represents a 30% return on investment based on the Fund's IPO price of $20.00 per share in May 2006.

During 2007, our total return on net asset value, or NAV, was 11.8%. During that same period, the total return for the EPRA NAREIT Asia Index (an unmanaged index of Asia Pacific real estate common stocks) was 11.6%. We believe this index is relevant to us because all our investments as of December 31, 2007, excluding short term investments, were in securities of real estate companies in countries covered by this index. The S&P 500 Index (an unmanaged index published as Standard and Poor's Composite Index of 500 common stocks) total return for the same period was 5.5%.

Thank you for your continued support. For more information, please view our website at www.rmrfunds.com.

Sincerely,

Adam D. Portnoy
President

RMR Asia Pacific Real Estate Fund
Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2007

Note A

(1) Organization

RMR Asia Pacific Real Estate Fund, or the Fund, was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on February 14, 2006, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, of the 1940 Act, as a non-diversified closed-end management investment company. The Fund had no operations prior to May 25, 2006, other than matters relating to the Fund's establishment and registration of the Fund's common shares under the Securities Act of 1933, and the sale of 5,000 common shares for $100,000 to RMR Advisors, Inc., or RMR Advisors. On May 25, 2006, the Fund sold 1,750,000 common shares in an initial public offering including 40,000 shares sold to affiliates of RMR Advisors. Proceeds to the Fund were $33,392,600 after deducting underwriting commission and $68,400 of offering expenses. There was no underwriting commission or offering expenses paid on shares sold to the affiliates of RMR Advisors.

(2) Use of Estimates

(3) Portfolio Valuation

Investment securities of the Fund are valued at the latest sales price reflected on the consolidated tape of the exchange that reflects the principal market for such securities whenever that price is readily available on that day; securities for which no sales were reported on that day, unless otherwise noted, are valued at the last available bid price on that day. Any of the Fund's securities which are not readily marketable, which are not traded or which have other characteristics of illiquidity are valued by the Fund at fair value as determined in good faith under the supervision of the Fund's board of trustees. Numerous factors may be considered when determining fair value of a security, including cost at date of purchase, type of security, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security and whether the issuer of the security being fair valued has other securities of the same type outstanding. Short term debt securities with less than 60 days until maturity may be valued at cost, which when combined with interest accrued, approximates market value.

Some foreign markets close before the close of customary trading sessions on the American Stock Exchange or AMEX (normally 4:00 p.m. eastern time). Occasionally, events occur after the principal foreign exchange on which the foreign securities trade has closed but before the AMEX closes and the Fund determines net asset value, or NAV, that could affect the value of the securities the Fund owns or cause their prices to be unreliable. If these events are expected to materially affect the Fund's NAV, the prices of such securities will be adjusted to reflect their estimated fair value as of the close of the AMEX, as determined in good faith under procedures established by the Fund's board of trustees.

(4) Securities Transactions and Investment Income

(5) Taxes

Some Asia Pacific governments may subject the Fund's investment income and securities sales to withholding or other taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2007, $127,583 of foreign taxes have been withheld from distributions to the Fund and has been recorded as a reduction of dividend income and $10,336 of foreign taxes have been withheld from the proceeds of sale of securities and recorded as a reduction of net realized gains on investments

(6) Distributable Earnings

The Fund earns income, net of expenses, daily on its investments. It is the policy of the Fund to make distributions of its income at least annually in amounts at least equal to the amount necessary to maintain its status as a registered investment company. On December 12, 2007, the Fund declared a special distribution of $4.45 per common share that was paid on January 31, 2008. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund's distributions may consist of ordinary income (net investment income and short term capital gains), long term capital gains and return of capital. To the extent the Fund's net realized capital gains, if any, can be offset by capital loss carry forwards, it is the policy of the Fund not to distribute such gains.

The tax character of distributions made by the Fund during the year ended December 31, 2007, is as follows:

	Year Ended December 31, 2007
Ordinary income	$	9,007,262
Net long term capital gains		1,470,088

	$	10,477,350

As of December 31, 2007, the components of distributable earnings on a federal income tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income	$	—
Accumulated capital and other losses		(1,626,006	)
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation)		4,105,216

Under current tax law, certain capital or net foreign currency losses and net passive foreign investment company mark to market losses realized after October 31 within the taxable year may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following tax year. For the tax year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund elected to defer net passive foreign investment company losses of $1,626,006 arising between November 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007.

The differences between the financial reporting basis and tax basis of accumulated capital and other losses and unrealized appreciation/depreciation are due to mark to market and adjustments to the Fund's investments in passive foreign investment companies and wash sales of portfolio investments.

The cost, gross unrealized appreciation and unrealized depreciation of the Fund's investments for federal income tax purposes as of December 31, 2007, are as follows:

Cost	$	39,385,491

Gross unrealized appreciation		6,211,825
Gross unrealized depreciation		(2,108,221	)

Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation)	$	4,103,604

(7) Concentration of Risk

Under normal market conditions, the Fund's investments will be concentrated in common shares, preferred shares and debt securities, including convertible preferred and debt securities, issued by Asia Pacific real estate companies and REITs. The value of Fund shares may fluctuate more than the shares of a fund not concentrated in the real estate industry or in the Asia Pacific region due to economic, legal, regulatory, technological or other developments affecting the Asia Pacific real estate industry and securities market.

(8) Foreign Securities Risk

As compared to U.S. securities, foreign securities may be issued by companies which provide less financial and other information, and which are subject to less developed and difficult to access legal systems, less stringent accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards or different governmental regulations. As compared to U.S. securities markets, foreign securities markets may have different settlement procedures, may have higher transaction costs, may be conducted in a less regulated manner, are generally smaller and may be less liquid and more volatile than securities markets in the U.S. The value of foreign securities may also decline or be unstable because of political, social or economic events or instability outside of the U.S.

(9) Foreign Currency Transactions

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated daily into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates on the respective transaction dates.

The Fund does not isolate the portion of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of investments. Such fluctuations are included in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions represents net foreign currency gain (loss) from forward currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gain (loss) realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities

transactions, and the difference between the amount of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's accounting records and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency appreciation/(depreciation) arises from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, as a result of changes in exchange rates.

(10) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements", or SFAS 157, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands required disclosures about fair value measurements. Management has evaluated the application of the Statement to the Fund and believes the impact will be limited to expanded financial statement disclosures.

Note B

Advisory, Subadvisory and Administration Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates

The Fund has an advisory agreement with RMR Advisors, to provide the Fund with a continuous investment program, oversee the subadvisor and generally manage the business affairs of the Fund in accordance with its investment objectives and policies. Pursuant to the agreement, RMR Advisors is compensated at an annual rate of 1% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

RMR Advisors has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its annual fee equal to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets from May 25, 2006 until May 25, 2011. The Fund incurred net advisory fees of $343,016 during the year ended December 31, 2007. The amount of fees waived by the Advisor was $114,339 for the year ended December 31, 2007.

RMR Advisors has entered into a subadvisory agreement with MacarthurCook Investment Managers Ltd., or MacarthurCook, to make day-to-day investment decisions and to generally manage the business affairs of the Fund in accordance with its investment objectives and policies. Pursuant to the agreement, RMR Advisors, and not the Fund, will pay the subadvisor a monthly fee equal to an annual rate of 0.375% of the Fund's average daily net assets. MacarthurCook has agreed to waive a portion of the fee payable by RMR Advisors such that until May 25, 2011, the fee payable will be equal to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

RMR Advisors also performs administrative functions for the Fund pursuant to an administration agreement with the Fund. RMR Advisors has entered into a subadministration agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company, or State Street, to perform substantially all Fund accounting and other administrative services. Under the administration agreement, RMR Advisors is entitled to reimbursement of the cost of providing administrative services. The Fund reimbursed RMR Advisors for $107,769 of subadministrative fees charged by State Street for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Each trustee who is not a director, officer or employee of RMR Advisors and who is not an "interested person" of the Fund as defined under the 1940 Act is considered to be a "disinterested trustee". Disinterested trustees are each paid by the Fund an annual fee plus fees for board and committee meetings. The Fund incurred $22,355 of trustee fees and expenses during the year ended December 31, 2007.

The Fund's board of trustees and separately the disinterested trustees authorized the Fund to make reimbursement payments to RMR Advisors for costs related to the Fund's compliance and internal audit programs. The Fund incurred $30,040 of compliance and internal audit expense during the year ended December 31, 2007. The Fund also participates in pooled insurance programs with RMR Advisors and other funds managed by RMR Advisors and makes payments of allocated portions of related premiums. The Fund incurred $22,261 of insurance expense during the year ended December 31, 2007.

Note C

Boston, Massachusetts
February 21, 2008

RMR Asia Real Estate Fund
December 31, 2007

To our shareholders,

In the pages that follow, you will find data summarizing our financial results for the period from May 25, 2007, the date we commenced operations, through December 31, 2007, and our financial position as of December 31, 2007.

Although the Fund has been in operation for only a short time, we have taken the steps to build what we believe will be a sound long term investment portfolio.

Relevant Market Conditions

Real Estate Industry Fundamentals. In 2008, we expect commercial real estate fundamentals in the Asian region to remain healthy due to strong leasing demand. Office market vacancy rates are expected to remain low in Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo. Strong national income growth in all countries, except for Japan, should lead to growing retail sales and rising rents for retail property. The industrial real estate sector is expected to do well because logistics networks are developing in emerging countries. Residential real estate prices are expected to increase because of rising incomes and the urbanization process underway in China and India.

Economic growth in the coming year is expected to remain strong throughout Asia. The International Monetary Fund expects 8.6% GDP growth for developing Asia and 1.5% for Japan. Real estate companies in the region are generally conservatively financed. However, credit tightening by lenders across the globe may slow the rate of growth for some real estate companies in the region in 2008.

Real Estate Industry Technicals. We expect continued strong demand for real estate investments in the Asia region in the coming year. High personal savings rates and attractive real estate yields are expected to lead to increasing stock values for real estate companies in the region, especially real estate companies that pay a regular dividend, such as real estate investment trusts, or REITs. Property yields in the region typically are 2-3% higher than long term government bond yields. The number of REITs in the region continues to grow, and several countries are considering initiating REIT legislation, including the Philippines, India and China.

Fund Strategies, Techniques and Performance

Our primary investment objective is capital appreciation. There can be no assurance that we will achieve our investment objective.

Although the Fund's primary investment objective is capital appreciation (rather than pay high income) and the Fund has operated for less than one year, it made a one time distribution of $0.35 per share to shareholders in December 2007. This distribution represents an annualized return on investment of about 3% based on the Fund's IPO price of $20.00 per share in May 2007.

During the period from May 25, 2007 through December 31, 2007, our total return on net asset value, or NAV, was negative 3.24%. During that same period, the total return for the EPRA NAREIT Asia Index (an unmanaged index of Asia Pacific real estate common stocks) was negative 1.3%. We believe this index is relevant to us because all our investments as of December 31, 2007, excluding short term investments, were in securities of real estate companies in countries covered by this index. The S&P 500 Index (an unmanaged index published as Standard and Poor's Composite Index of 500 common stocks) total return for the same period was negative 3.30%.

Thank you for your continued support. For more information, please view our website at www.rmrfunds.com.

Sincerely,

Adam D. Portnoy

RMR Asia Real Estate Fund
Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2007

Note A

(1) Organization

RMR Asia Real Estate Fund, or the Fund, was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on January 18, 2007, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act, as a non-diversified closed-end management investment company. The Fund had no operations prior to May 25, 2007, other than matters relating to the Fund's establishment, registration of the Fund's common shares under the Securities Act of 1933, and the sale of 5,000 common shares for $100,000 to RMR Advisors, Inc., or RMR Advisors. On May 25, 2007, the Fund sold 4,750,000 common shares in an initial public offering. Proceeds to the Fund were $90,535,000 after deducting underwriting commissions and $190,000 of offering expenses.

(2) Use of Estimates

(3) Portfolio Valuation

(4) Securities Transactions and Investment Income

(5) Taxes

Some Asian governments may subject the Fund's investment income and securities sales to withholding or other taxes. For the period ended December 31, 2007, $42,380 of foreign taxes has been withheld from distributions to the Fund and has been recorded as a reduction of dividend income.

(6) Distributable Earnings

The Fund earns income, net of expenses, daily on its investments. It is the policy of the Fund to make distributions of its income at least annually in amounts at least equal to the amount necessary to maintain its status as a registered investment company. On December 12, 2007, the Fund declared a special distribution of $0.35 per common share that was paid on January 31, 2008. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund's distributions may consist of ordinary income (net investment income and short term capital gains), long term capital gains and return of capital. To the extent the Fund's net realized capital gains, if any, can be offset by capital loss carry forwards, it is the policy of the Fund not to distribute such gains.

The tax character of distributions made by the Fund during the period ended December 31, 2007 was as follows:

		Period ended December 31, 2007
Ordinary income		$	1,664,250

As of December 31, 2007, the components of distributable earnings on a federal income tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income	$	—
Accumulated capital and other losses		(1,705,277	)
Net unrealized depreciation		(2,864,049	)

The differences between the financial reporting basis and tax basis of undistributed ordinary income and unrealized depreciation is due to the mark to market and adjustments to the Fund's investments in passive foreign investment companies.

100

As of December 31, 2007, the Fund had a net capital loss carry forward for federal income tax purposes of $831,685 all of which expires in the year 2015.

Under current tax law, certain capital net foreign currency losses and net passive foreign investment company mark to market losses realized after October 31 within the taxable year may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following tax year. For the tax period ended December 31, 2007, the Fund elected to defer net passive foreign investment company losses of $873,592 arising between November 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007.

The cost, gross unrealized appreciation and unrealized depreciation of the Fund's investments for federal income tax purposes as of December 31, 2007, are as follows:

Cost	$	90,582,853

Gross unrealized appreciation	$	9,490,802
Gross unrealized depreciation		(12,355,576	)

Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation)	$	(2,864,774	)

(7) Concentration of Risk

Under normal market conditions, the Fund's investments will be concentrated in common shares, preferred shares and debt securities, including convertible preferred and debt securities, issued by Asian real estate companies and REITs. The value of Fund shares may fluctuate more than the shares of a fund not concentrated in the real estate industry or in the Asian region due to economic, legal, regulatory, technological or other developments affecting the Asian real estate industry and securities market.

Disinterested trustees are each paid by the Fund an annual fee plus fees for board and committee meetings. The Fund incurred $16,129 of trustee fees and expenses during the period ended December 31, 2007.

The Fund's board of trustees and separately the disinterested trustees authorized the Fund to make reimbursement payments to RMR Advisors for costs related to the Fund's compliance and internal audit programs.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of RMR Asia Real Estate Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of RMR Asia Real Estate Fund (the "Fund"), including the portfolio of investments, as of December 31, 2007, and the related statements of operations, changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the period from May 25, 2007 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2007. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the RMR Asia Real Estate Fund at December 31, 2007, the results of its operations, changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the period from May 25, 2007 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

RMR Dividend Capture Fund
December 31, 2007

To our shareholders,

In the pages that follow, you will find data summarizing our financial results for the period from December 18, 2007, the date we commenced operations, through December 31, 2007, and our financial position as of December 31, 2007.

We welcome our new investors to the RMR Dividend Capture Fund. We are delighted to have you as shareholders. We are also very excited about this new Fund. We believe now is a good time to take advantage of the dislocation in the marketplace to buy real estate investment trusts, or REITs, and closed end funds at very attractive prices.

REITs are currently trading close to a 20% discount to estimated net asset value, or NAV, compared to historically trading at a 4% premium to estimated NAV. Closed end funds are also trading at deep discounts to NAV (in the range of 6-8%) compared to historically trading at a 3% discount. The Fund's focus will be to take advantage of these low valuations to deliver an attractive dividend yield and to realize the opportunity for capital appreciation as REITs and closed end funds eventually return to historical average trading levels.

We successfully launched the RMR Dividend Capture Fund on December 18, 2007 and by year-end we had 50% of the money raised in the IPO invested. The rest of the proceeds were invested in early January 2008.

Fund Strategies, Techniques and Performance

Our primary investment objective is to earn and pay to our common shareholders a high current dividend income by investing in REITs and closed end funds. Our secondary objective is capital appreciation. There can be no assurance that we will achieve our investment objectives.

During the period December 18, 2007, through December 31, 2007, our total return on NAV (including NAV changes and assuming a hypothetical reinvestment of distributions at NAV), was negative 2.2%. During that same period, the total return for the MSCI US REIT Total Return Index (an unmanaged index of REIT common stocks) was 1.8%. We believe this index is relevant to us because our investments, excluding short term investments, as of December 31, 2007, included 69% REIT common stocks. The S&P 500 Index (an unmanaged index published as Standard and Poor's Composite Index of 500 common stocks) total return for the year ended December 31, 2007 was 1.0%.

Recent Developments

As I am writing this letter, turmoil in the credit markets is becoming a concern for our Fund. Our business plan anticipates using leverage by using auction rate preferred securities to generate increased dividends for our common shareholders. At present, auction rate preferred securities are currently experiencing a liquidity crisis. We have issued $10 million of auction rate preferred securities which we believe are well protected by asset coverage. However, the spill over impact from auction rate securities issued by others may make it more

105

expensive for us to remarket our auction rate securities or cause us to substitute our preferred share with a less attractive form of leverage. If we are required to pay increased dividends or use less desirable leverage, the level of dividends which we previously anticipated paying common shareholders may decline.

Thank you for your continued support. For more information, please view our website at www.rmrfunds.com.

Sincerely,

Adam D. Portnoy
President

(6) Distributable Earnings

The Fund earns income, net of expenses, daily on its investments. The Fund intends to pay a stable distribution amount to common shareholders on a monthly basis and distributions to Fund shareholders will be declared pursuant to this policy. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund's distributions may consist of ordinary income (net investment income and short term capital gains), long term capital gains and return of capital. To the extent the Fund's net realized capital gains, if any, can be offset by capital loss carry-forwards, it is the policy of the Fund not to distribute such gains.

The Fund has substantial investments in real estate investment trusts, or REITs, which are generally not subject to federal income taxes. Distributions that the Fund receives from REITs can be classified as ordinary income, capital gain income or return of capital by the REITs that make these distributions to the Fund The Fund has excluded from its investment income the portions of the distributions received from REITs classified by those REITs as capital gain income and return of capital. The Fund has included in its "net realized gain on investments" that portion of the distributions received from REITs that is classified by those REITs as capital gain income. Similarly, the Fund has credited its "net change in unrealized appreciation on investments" with that portion of the distributions received from REITs that is classified by those REITs as return of capital. The classification of distributions received from the Fund's investments were as follows:

	Period Ended December 31, 2007
Ordinary income	$	239,389
Capital gain income		87,143
Return of capital		15,792

Total distributions received	$	342,324

As of December 31, 2007, the components of distributable earnings on a federal income tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income	$	251,150
Undistributed net long-term capital gains		87,143
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation)		(858,045	)

115

The cost of investments for federal income tax purposes, gross unrealized appreciation and unrealized depreciation as of December 31, 2007, are as follows:

Cost	$	27,454,345

Gross unrealized appreciation	$	24,405
Gross unrealized depreciation		(882,450	)

Net unrealized depreciation	$	(858,045	)

(7) Concentration of Risk

Under normal market conditions, the Fund's investments will be concentrated in income producing common shares, preferred shares and debt securities, including convertible preferred and debt securities, issued by real estate companies and REITs. The value of Fund shares may fluctuate more than the shares of a fund not concentrated in the real estate industry due to economic, legal, regulatory, technological or other developments affecting the United States real estate industry.

(8) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Note B

Advisory and Administration Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates

The Fund has an advisory agreement with RMR Advisors to provide the Fund with a continuous investment program, to make day-to-day investment decisions and to generally manage the business affairs of the Fund in accordance with its investment objectives and policies. Pursuant to the agreement, RMR Advisors is compensated at an annual rate of 1% of the Fund's average daily managed assets. Managed assets means the total assets of the Fund less liabilities other than any indebtedness entered into for purposes of leverage. For

116

purposes of calculating managed assets, the liquidation preference of preferred shares are not considered liabilities.

RMR Advisors, and not the Fund, paid, from its own assets, an incentive fee to RBC Capital Markets Corporation, or RBC, for acting as bookrunning manager in connection with the offering in an amount equal to $240,000. This fee was paid to RBC at the same time as the delivery of the common shares to the underwriters in the Fund's initial public offering.

RMR Advisors, and not the Fund, paid, from its own assets, Foreside Fund Services, LLC, or Foreside, a fee for its distribution assistance in an amount equal to $176,000. Foreside provided distribution assistance by rendering wholesale marketing and marketing consulting services to RMR Advisors and the underwriters in connection with the Fund's initial public offering.

RMR Advisors also performs administrative functions for the Fund pursuant to an administration agreement with the Fund. RMR Advisors has entered into a subadministration agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company, or State Street, to perform substantially all Fund accounting and other administrative services. Under the administration agreement, RMR Advisors is entitled to reimbursement of the cost of providing administrative services. The Fund reimbursed RMR Advisors for $7,500 of subadministrative fees charged by State Street for the period ended December 31, 2007.

Each trustee who is not a director, officer or employee of RMR Advisors and who is not an "interested person" of the Fund as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, is considered to be a "disinterested trustee". Disinterested trustees are each paid by the Fund an annual fee plus fees for board and committee meetings. The Fund incurred $1,750 of trustee fees and expenses during the period ended December 31, 2007.

The Fund's board of trustees and separately the disinterested trustees authorized the Fund to make reimbursement payments to RMR Advisors for costs related to the Fund's compliance and internal audit programs. The Fund incurred $0 of compliance and internal audit expense during the period ended December 31, 2007. The Fund also participates in pooled insurance programs with RMR Advisors and other funds managed by RMR Advisors and makes payments of allocated portions of related premiums. The Fund incurred $500 of insurance expense during the period ended December 31, 2007.

Note C

Securities Transactions

During the period ended December 31, 2007, there were purchases and sales transactions (excluding short term securities) of $21,271,875 and $740, respectively. Brokerage commissions on securities transactions amounted to $42,129 during the period ended December 31, 2007.

Note D

Subsequent Event (Preferred Shares)

The Fund issued 400 Series F preferred shares with liquidation preference of $25,000 per share on February 6, 2008. The preferred shares are senior to the Fund's common shares and rank on parity with any other class or series of preferred shares of the Fund as to the payment of periodic distributions, including distribution of

117

assets upon liquidation. If the Fund does not timely cure a failure to (1) maintain asset coverage for the preferred shares as required by rating agencies, or (2) maintain asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, of at least 200%, the preferred shares will be subject to redemption in an amount equal to their liquidation preference plus accumulated but unpaid distributions. The holders of the preferred shares have voting rights equal to the holders of the Fund's common shares and generally vote together with the holders of the common shares as a single class. Holders of the preferred shares, voting as a separate class, also are entitled to elect two of the Fund's trustees. The Fund pays distributions on the preferred shares at a rate set at auctions held generally every seven days. Distributions are generally payable every seven days, on the first business day following the end of a distribution period. The initial preferred share distribution rate was set at 4.00% per annum and payable on February 19, 2008.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders
of RMR Dividend Capture Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of RMR Dividend Capture Fund (the "Fund"), including the portfolio of investments, as of December 31, 2007, and the related statements of operations, changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the period from December 18, 2007 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2007. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the RMR Dividend Capture Fund at December 31, 2007, the results of its operations, changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the period from December 18, 2007 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

December 31, 2007 (unaudited)

For the purposes of the following, RMR Real Estate Fund (RMR), RMR Hospitality and Real Estate Fund (RHR), RMR F.I.R.E. Fund (RFR), RMR Preferred Dividend Fund (RDR), RMR Asia Pacific Real Estate Fund (RAP) and RMR Dividend Capture Fund (RCR) are each referred to as a "Trust" or collectively as the "Trusts".

Consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreements for RMR, RHR, RFR, RDR and RAP

RMR Advisors serves as the investment advisor to each of RMR, RHR, RFR, RDR and RAP and MacarthurCook Investment Managers Limited ("MacarthurCook") serves as the sub-advisor to RAP. On October 11, 2007, the boards of trustees (each a "board and collectively the "boards") of each Trust renewed these investment advisory agreements and investment sub-advisory agreement for a period of one year to expire on December 12, 2008.

Investment Advisory Agreements. In making their determination to renew each investment advisory agreement, each board, including the disinterested trustees, considered all of the factors described below.

Each board considered the benefits of retaining RMR Advisors as investment advisor. Each board's considerations included, among others: the nature, scope and quality of services that RMR Advisors has provided and is expected to provide; the advisory and other fees to be paid; the fact that RMR Advisors has agreed to waive a portion of its fees during the first five years of each of the Trust's existence in order to reduce the Trust's operating expenses; the quality and depth of personnel of RMR Advisors' organization; the capacity and future commitment of RMR Advisors to perform its duties; the financial condition and profitability of RMR Advisors; the experience and expertise of RMR Advisors as an investment advisor; the performance of each Trust as compared to similar funds; the level of fees paid to RMR Advisors as compared to similar funds; the potential for economies of scale; and any indirect benefits derived by RMR Advisors from its relationship with the Trusts.

Each board considered the level and depth of knowledge of RMR Advisors. In evaluating the quality of services provided by RMR Advisors, each board took into account its familiarity with RMR Advisors' management through board meetings, conversations and reports. Each board also took into account RMR Advisors' compliance policies and procedures. RMR Advisors' role in coordinating and supervising the other service providers for the Trusts was also considered. The board also discussed RMR Advisors' effectiveness in monitoring the performance of MacarthurCook with respect to RAP.

Each board compared the advisory fees and the total expense ratio of each Trust with various comparative fund data. In addition to considering each Trust's recent performance, each board noted it reviews on a quarterly basis, information about each Trust's performance result, portfolio composition and investment strategies.

120

Each board considered the potential economies of scale that may be realized by the Trusts if the assets of the fund complex grow, noting that shareholders potentially might benefit from lower operating expenses as a result of certain of the Trusts' fixed expenses being spread over an increasing amount of assets.

In considering the profitability of RMR Advisors, the board noted that RMR Advisors has waived a portion of its advisory fee since each Trust's inception in order to reduce such Trust's operating expenses. The board considered, among other data, the profitability of RMR Advisors' relationship with each Trust in terms of the total amount of annual advisory fees it received with respect to the Trust and whether RMR Advisors had the financial wherewithal to continue to provide a high level of services to the Trusts.

In considering the renewal of the investment advisory agreement, each board, including the disinterested trustees, did not identify any single factor as controlling. Based on each board's evaluation of all the factors that it deemed to be relevant, each board, including the disinterested trustees of each board, concluded that: RMR Advisors has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the investment advisory agreement for each Trust; RMR Advisors maintains an appropriate compliance program; performance of each Trust is reasonable in relation to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives; and the advisory fee rate for each Trust is fair and reasonable given the scope and quality of the services to be provided by RMR Advisors.

Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. In making its determination to approve the RAP investment sub-advisory agreement, the board, including the disinterested trustees, considered all of the factors described below.

The board considered the benefits to RAP shareholders of retaining MacarthurCook as investment sub-advisor. The board's considerations included, among others: the nature, scope and quality of services that MacarthurCook has provided and is expected to provide; the sub-advisory fees to be paid by RMR Advisors to MacarthurCook; the fact that MacarthurCook has agreed to waive a portion of its fee during the first five years of RAP's existence; the quality and depth of personnel of MacarthurCook's organization; the capacity and future commitment of MacarthurCook to perform its duties; and the experience and expertise of MacarthurCook as an investment sub-advisor.

The board considered the level and depth of knowledge of MacarthurCook, noting that MacarthurCook specialized in the area of real estate investment management. In evaluating the quality of services provided by MacarthurCook, the board took into account its familiarity with MacarthurCook's management through board meetings, conversations and reports. The board also took into account MacarthurCook's compliance policies and procedures.

The board compared the advisory expense which includes the sub-advisory fees and the total expense ratio of RAP with various comparative fund data. In addition to considering RAP's recent performance, the RAP board noted it receives on a quarterly basis, information about RAP's performance result, portfolio composition and investment strategies.

The board noted that sub-advisory fees under the investment sub-advisory agreement were paid by RMR Advisers and not by RAP and were the product of arm's-length negotiations between RMR Advisors and MacarthurCook. For these reasons, the profitability to MacarthurCook from its relationship with RAP was not a material factor in the board's deliberations. For similar reasons, the board did not consider the potential economies of scale in MacarthurCook's management of RAP to be a material factor in its consideration.

In considering the renewal of the investment sub-advisory agreement, the RAP board, including the disinterested trustees, did not identify any single factor as controlling. Based on the board's evaluation of all the factors that it deemed to be relevant, the board, including the disinterested trustees of the board, concluded that: MacarthurCook has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the

121

duties required of it under the investment sub-advisory agreement; MacarthurCook maintains an appropriate compliance program; performance of RAP is reasonable in comparison to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives; and the sub-advisory fee rate is fair and reasonable given the scope and quality of the services to be rendered by MacarthurCook.

Consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement for RCR

RMR Advisors serves as the investment advisor to RCR. On July 12, 2007, the RCR board of trustees (the "board") entered into an investment advisory agreement for a period of two years to expire on July 11, 2009.

Investment Advisory Agreement. In making its determination to approve the RCR investment advisory agreement, the board, including the disinterested trustees, considered all of the factors described below.

The board's considerations included, among others: the nature, scope and quality of services that RMR Advisors was expected to provide to RCR; the advisory and other fees to be paid; the quality and depth of personnel of RMR Advisors' organization; the capacity and future commitment of RMR Advisors to perform its duties; the financial condition and anticipated profitability of RMR Advisors; the experience and expertise of RMR Advisors as an investment advisor; the level of fees to be paid to RMR Advisors as compared to similar funds; the potential for economies of scale; and any indirect benefits expected to be derived by RMR Advisors' relationship with RCR.

The board considered the level and depth of knowledge of RMR Advisors. In evaluating the quality of services to be provided by RMR Advisors, the board took into account its familiarity with RMR Advisors' management through board meetings, conversations and reports of other funds managed by RMR Advisors. The board also considered the historical performance of the other funds managed by RMR Advisors. The board also took into account RMR Advisors' compliance policies and procedures.

The board compared the proposed advisory fees and the estimated total expense ratio of RCR with various comparative fund data. The board considered RCR's investment objective. The board also considered the RCR's model portfolio composition and investment strategy. RMR Advisors' role in coordinating and supervising the service providers for other funds was also considered.

The board considered the potential economies of scale that may be realized if the assets of the fund complex grow, noting that shareholders potentially might benefit from lower operating expenses as a result of certain of the Fund complex's expenses being spread over an increasing amount of assets.

The board reviewed the anticipated profitability of RMR Advisors' relationship with RCR in terms of the total amount of advisory fees it would receive with respect to RCR and whether RMR Advisors had the financial wherewithal to provide a high level of services to RCR.

In considering the approval of the investment advisory agreement, the board, including the disinterested trustees, did not identify any single factor as controlling. Based on the board's evaluation of all the factors that it deemed to be relevant, the board, including the disinterested trustees of the board, concluded that: RMR Advisors has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the investment advisory agreement for the Fund; RMR Advisors maintains an appropriate compliance program; and the proposed advisory fee rate is fair and reasonable given the scope and quality of the services to be rendered by RMR Advisors.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan (unaudited)

The board of trustees of each of RMR Real Estate Fund, RMR Hospitality and Real Estate Fund, RMR F.I.R.E. Fund, RMR Preferred Dividend Fund, RMR Asia Pacific Real Estate Fund, RMR Asia Real Estate Fund and RMR Dividend Capture Fund, each a Massachusetts business trust (each a "Fund" and collectively "the Funds"), have adopted a Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan (each, a "Plan"), sometimes referred to as an opt-out plan. You will have all your cash distributions invested in common shares automatically unless you elect to receive cash. As part of each Plan, you will have the opportunity to purchase additional common shares by submitting a cash payment for the purchase of such shares (the "Cash Purchase Option"). Your cash payment, if any, for the additional shares may not exceed $10,000 per quarter, per Plan and must be for a minimum of $100 per quarter. Wells Fargo Bank N.A. is the plan agent and paying agent for each plan. The plan agent will receive your distributions and additional cash payments under the Cash Purchase Option and either purchase common shares in the open market for your account or directly from the applicable Fund. If you elect not to participate in a Plan, you will receive all cash distributions in cash paid by check mailed to you (or, generally, if your shares are held in street name, to your broker) by the paying agent.

The number of common shares of each Fund you will receive if you do not opt out of a Plan will be determined as follows:

(1): If, on a distribution payment date for a Fund, the market price per common share plus estimated per share brokerage commissions applicable to an open market purchase of common shares is below the net asset value per common share on that payment date, the plan agent will receive the distribution in cash and, together with your additional cash payments, if any, will purchase common shares of that Fund in the open market, on the AMEX or elsewhere, for your account prior to the next ex-dividend date (or 60 days after the distribution payment date, which ever is sooner, in the case of RMR Asia Pacific Real Estate Fund, RMR Asia Real estate Fund and RMR Dividend Capture Fund). It is possible that the market price for a Fund's common shares may increase before the plan agent has completed its purchases. Therefore, the average purchase price per share paid by the plan agent may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the purchase of fewer shares than if the distribution had been paid to you in common shares newly issued by a Fund. In the event it appears that the plan agent will not be able to complete the open market purchases prior to the next ex-dividend date (or 60 days after the distribution payment date, which ever is sooner, in the case of RMR Asia Pacific Real Estate Fund, RMR Asia Real estate Fund and RMR Dividend Capture Fund), each Fund will determine whether to issue the remaining shares at the greater of (i) net asset value per common share at the time of purchase or (ii) 100% of the per common share market price at the time of purchase. Interest will not be paid on any uninvested amounts.
(2): If, on the distribution payment date for a Fund, the market price per common share plus estimated per share brokerage commissions applicable to an open market purchase of common shares is at or above the net asset value per common share on that payment date, the appropriate Fund will issue new shares for

126

your account, at a price equal to the greater of (i) net asset value per common share on that payment date or (ii) 95% of the per common share market price on that payment date.

(3): The plan agent maintains all shareholder accounts in each Plan (including all shares purchased under the Cash Purchase Option) and provides written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information you may need for tax records. Common shares in your account will be held by the Plan agent in non-certificated form. Any proxy you receive will include all common shares you have received or purchased under a Plan.

You may withdraw from any Plan at any time by giving written notice to the plan agent. If you withdraw or a Plan is terminated, the plan agent will transfer the shares in your account to you (which may include a cash payment for any fraction of a share in your account). If you wish, the plan agent will sell your shares and send you the proceeds, minus brokerage commissions to be paid by you.

The Plan agent is not authorized to make any purchases of shares for your account if doing so will result in your owning shares in excess of 9.8% of the total shares outstanding in each Fund. Dividends or cash purchase option payments which may result in such prohibited transactions will be paid to you in cash.

The plan agent's administrative fees will be paid by the Funds. There will be no brokerage commission charged with respect to common shares issued directly by any Fund. Each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred by the plan agent when it makes open market purchases of a Fund's shares pursuant to a Plan including the Cash Purchase Option.

Any Fund may amend or terminate its Plan or the Cash Purchase Option if its board of trustees determines the change is appropriate. However, no additional charges will be imposed upon participants by amendment to a Plan except after prior notice to participants.

Participation in a Plan will not relieve you of any federal, state or local income tax that may be payable (or required to be withheld) as a result of distributions you receive which are credited to your account under a Plan rather than paid in cash. Automatic reinvestment of distributions in a Fund's common shares will not relieve you of tax obligations arising from your receipt of that Fund's distributions even though you do not receive any cash.

All correspondence* about any Plan should be directed to Wells Fargo Shareowner Services, P.O. Box 64856, St. Paul, MN 55164-0856 or by telephone at 1-866-877-6331 and by overnight mail to Wells Fargo Bank N.A., 161 North Concord Exchange, South St. Paul, MN 55075.

*: Shareholders who hold shares of a Fund in "street name", that is, through a broker, financial advisor or other intermediary should not contract the Administrator with Plan correspondence, opt-out cash purchase option or other requests. If you own your shares in street name, you must instead contact your broker, financial advisor or intermediary.

Attached to this Form N-CSR as Exhibit 12(c) is a copy of the proxy voting policies and procedures for the registrant.

Item 8. Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

The registrant's portfolio managers are:

•: Craig Dunstan: Mr. Dunstan is and has been a portfolio manager of RMR Asia Pacific Real Estate Fund since its inception in 2006 and RMR Asia Estate Fund since its inception in 2007. Mr. Dunstan is and has been the Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer of MacarthurCook Investment Managers Ltd., the Fund's subadvisor, since its inception in 2002. Prior to joining the subadvisor, Mr. Dunstan was the General Manager of Financial Services and Chief Investment Officer of Australian Unity, a company in the investment management and insurance businesses.
•: Craig Turnbull. Mr. Turnbull has been a portfolio manager of RMR Asia Pacific Real Estate Fund since its inception in 2006 and RMR Asia Estate Fund since its inception in 2007. Mr. Turnbull is the Head of Real Estate Securities of MacarthurCook Investment Managers Ltd., the Fund's subadvisor, since 2005. From 2001 until 2005, Mr. Turnbull was Investment Director of Vertex Capital, a company in the hedge fund investment management business.

As Chief Investment Officer for MacarthurCook, Mr. Dunstan oversees portfolio management of all MacarthurCook Funds. As Head of Real Estate Securities for MacarthurCook, Mr. Turnbull also is responsible for portfolio management of the MacarthurCook Property Securities Fund, Advance Property Securities Fund, the MacarthurCook Diversified Property Income Fund and the Asian Real Estate Securities Fund. Mr. Turnbull manages no other pooled investment vehicles or accounts as of December 31, 2007 however Mr. Dunstan, as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of MacarthurCook Limited (which is the parent company of MacarthurCook Investments Managers Limited), is responsible for overseeing the management of other funds.

The registrant's portfolio managers oversee an aggregate of $1.34 billion (USD) of assets as of December 31, 2007.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST: Actual or potential conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager has management responsibilities with respect to more than one fund. For example, a portfolio manager may identify a limited investment opportunity that may be appropriate for the Fund as well as for the other funds he manages. A conflict of interest also might arise where a portfolio manager has a larger personal investment in one fund than in another. A portfolio manager may purchase a particular security for one or more funds while selling the security for one or more other funds; this could have a detrimental effect on the price or volume of the securities purchased or sold by a fund. A portfolio manager might devote unequal time and attention to the funds he manages. The Subadvisor believes that the risk of a material conflict of interest developing is limited because (i) the funds are generally managed in a similar fashion, (ii) the Subadvisor has adopted policies requiring the equitable allocation of trade orders for a particular security among participating funds, and (iii) the subadvisory fee and portfolio managers' compensation are not affected by the amount of time required to manage each fund. As a result, the Subadvisor does not believe that any of these potential sources of conflicts of interest will affect the portfolio managers' professional judgment in managing the funds.

COMPENSATION: Mr. Craig Dunstan is the founder and a minority shareholder (7%) in MacarthurCook Limited, which is the parent of the Fund's subadvisor. He is paid based upon an employment agreement negotiated between himself and the remuneration committee of the board of directors of MacarthurCook Limited. The members of that committee consist of Mr. Richard Haddock and Mr. Hugh Gurner, who are also directors of MacarthurCook Limited and the Fund's sub-Advisor. Compensation of Messrs. Dunstan and Turnbull includes base salary, annual cash bonus and share options in MacarthurCook Limited. The level of compensation is not based upon a formula with reference to fund performance or the value of fund assets; however these factors, among others, may be considered in determining compensation and, in particular, the cash bonus paid by MacarthurCook Limited at the end of each financial year. Other factors which may be considered in setting the compensation of the portfolio manager are their historical levels of compensation and levels of

compensation paid for similar services or to persons with similar responsibilities in the market. Mr. Turnbull devotes a substantial majority of his business time providing services as a portfolio manager of the Fund and other funds managed by affiliates of MacarthurCook Limited. He also dedicates some of his business time to providing services to affiliates of the Subadvisor, but does not receive compensation for providing those services above the compensation paid by MacarthurCook Limited.
