S&P 500 Total Return Index | | 1.96% |
| * | Date of organization was February 5, 2013. The Fund commenced operations on July 1, 2016. |
The Barclays Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index which represents the U.S. investment-grade fixed-rate bond market (including government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities and asset-backed securities). Investors cannot invest directly in an index or benchmark.
The S&P 500 Total Return Index is an unmanaged market capitalization-weighted index which is comprised of 500 of the largest U.S. domiciled companies and includes the reinvestment of all dividends. Investors cannot invest directly in an index or benchmark.
Past performance is not predictive of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate. An investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Total return is calculated assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The Fund’s estimated total gross annual operating expenses, per its prospectus dated September 1, 2016, including underlying funds, are 1.00%. The chart does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may have to pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of the Fund shares.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) |
October 31, 2016 |
PREDEX (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a closed-end management investment company. The Fund is non-diversified, engages in a continuous offering of shares and operates as an interval fund that offers to make quarterly repurchases of shares at net asset value. The Fund’s investment advisor is PREDEX Capital Management, LLC (the “Advisor”).
The investment objective of the Fund is to seek consistent current income while secondarily seeking long-term capital appreciation with moderate volatility.
The Fund was organized as a statutory trust on February 5, 2013 (date of organization), under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Advisor purchased the initial shares at $10.00 per share on June 7, 2013. Prior to offering shares to the public, the share price has been changed to $25.00 per share as stated in the Prospectus and the number of shares issued to the Advisor has been reduced to 4,000. The Fund commenced investment operations on July 1, 2016.
| (2) | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Fund follows the specialized accounting and reporting requirements under GAAP that are applicable to investment companies. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation – The Fund may use fair valuation procedures to value a substantial portion of its assets. The Fund may use the fair value of a security to calculate its net asset value (“NAV”) when, for example, (1) a portfolio security is not traded in a public market or the principal market in which the security trades is closed, (2) trading in a portfolio security is suspended and not resumed prior to the normal market close, (3) a portfolio security is not traded in significant volume for a substantial period, or (4) the Advisor determines that the quotation or price for a portfolio security provided by a broker-dealer or independent pricing service is inaccurate.
Valuation of Real Estate Investment Trusts – The Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in Private Investment Funds (“Private Funds”). The Private Funds measure their real estate investments at fair value, and report a NAV per share on a calendar quarter basis. The Fund estimates the fair value of each Private Fund by adjusting the most recent NAV for each Private Fund by the change in a proprietary benchmark that the Fund has deemed to be representative of the entire Private Fund market.
Fair Value Measurements – The “fair value” of securities may be difficult to determine and thus judgment plays a greater role in the valuation process. The fair valuation methodology may include or consider the following guidelines, as appropriate: (1) evaluation of all relevant factors, including but not limited to, pricing history, current market level, supply and demand of the respective security; (2) comparison to the values and current pricing of securities that have comparable characteristics; (3) knowledge of historical market information with respect to the security; (4) other factors relevant to the security which would include, but not be limited to, duration, yield, fundamental analytical data, the Treasury yield curve, and credit quality.
PREDEX |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued) |
October 31, 2016 |
The values assigned to fair valued investments will be based on available information and will not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized, since such amounts depend on future developments inherent in long-term investments. Changes in the fair valuation of portfolio securities may be less frequent and of greater magnitude than changes in the price of portfolio securities valued at their last sale price, by an independent pricing service, or based on market quotations. Imprecision in estimating fair value can also impact the amount of unrealized appreciation or depreciation recorded for a particular portfolio security and differences in the assumptions used could result in a different determination of fair value, and those differences could be material.
The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following tables summarize the inputs used as of October 31, 2016 for the Fund’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value:
Investments in Securities at Value* | | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | Total | |
Real Estate Investment Trusts | | $ | 1,002,660 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 5,081,980 | | | $ | 6,084,640 | |

| * | Refer to the Portfolio of Investments for industry classifications. |
There were no transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 during the period.
It is the Fund’s policy to record transfers into or out of any Level at the end of the reporting period.

Security Transactions and Investment Income – Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Cost is determined and gains and losses are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Purchase discounts and premiums on securities are accreted and amortized over the life of the respective securities.
Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to qualify as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and, if so qualified, will not be liable for federal income taxes to the extent earnings are distributed to shareholders on a timely basis. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.
As of October 31, 2016 the Fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition or disclosure. The Fund’s federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years after filing.
Distributions to Shareholders – Distributions from investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Indemnification – The Fund indemnifies its officers and trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund expects the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.
| (3) | ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS |
Advisory Fees – Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Trust, with respect to the Fund (the “Advisory Agreement”), investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by the Advisor. Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor receives monthly fees calculated at an annual rate of 0.55%

of the average daily net assets of the Fund. For the six months ended October 31, 2016, the Advisor earned advisory fees of $22,930.
The Advisor, pursuant to an Expense Limitation Agreement (the “Agreement”) has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or absorb expenses of the Fund at least until the August 31, 2017 so that Net Annual Operating Expenses (including organizational and offering expenses, but excluding taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) will not exceed 1.20% per annum of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The Agreement allows the Advisor to recover amounts previously reimbursed for operating expenses to the Fund to the extent that the Fund’s expense ratio falls below the above indicated expense limitation. The amount that can be recovered will be limited to the difference between the actual expense ratio and the amount of the expense limitation. Under the Agreement, the Advisor can only recover such amounts for a period of up to three fiscal years subsequent to the fiscal year fees were waived or reimbursed by the Advisor. As of October 31, 2016, the amount recoverable by the Advisor under the Agreement was $89,523. $30,009, $2,253 and $57,261 are subject to recapture by April 30, 2017, April 30, 2018, and April 30, 2019, respectively.
Northern Lights Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) is serving as the Fund’s principal underwriter and acts as the distributor of the Fund’s shares on a best efforts basis, subject to various conditions.
In addition, certain affiliates of the Distributor provide services to the Fund as follows:
Gemini Fund Services, LLC (“GFS”) – GFS, an affiliate of the Distributor, provides administration, fund accounting, and transfer agent services to the Trust. Pursuant to a separate servicing agreement with GFS, the Fund pays GFS customary fees for providing administration, fund accounting and transfer agency services to the Fund. Certain officers of the Fund are also officers of GFS, and are not paid any fees directly by the Fund for servicing in such capacities.
Northern Lights Compliance Services, LLC (“NLCS”) – NLCS, an affiliate of GFS and the Distributor, provides a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund, as well as related compliance services, pursuant to a consulting agreement between NLCS and the Fund.

Pursuant to Rule 23c-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Fund offers shareholders on a quarterly basis the option of redeeming shares, at net asset value, of no less than 5% and no more than 25% of the shares outstanding. There is no guarantee that shareholders will be able to sell all of the shares they desire in a quarterly repurchase offer, although each shareholder will have the right to require the Fund to purchase up to and including 5% of such shareholder’s shares in each quarterly repurchase. Liquidity will be provided to shareholders only through the Fund’s quarterly repurchases.
During the six months ended October 31, 2016, the Fund completed two quarterly repurchase offers. In those offers, the Fund offered to repurchase up to 5% (and an additional 2% at the Fund’s discretion) of the number of its outstanding shares as of the Repurchase Pricing Dates.

You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
Hypothetical Examples for Comparison Purposes: The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs which may be applicable to your account. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| Beginning | Ending | | |
| Account | Account Value | Expense | Expenses Paid |
| Value* | (10/31/16) | Ratio | During the Period* |
Actual | $1,000.00 | $1,005.20 | 1.20% | $ 4.05 |
Hypothetical | $1,000.00 | $1,019.16 | 1.20% | $ 6.11 |
(5% return before expenses) | | | | |
| * | “Actual” expense information for the Fund is for the period from July 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016. Actual expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized net expense ratio multiplied by 123/365 (to reflect the period from July 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016). “Hypothetical” expense information for the Fund is presented on the basis of the full one-half year period to enable comparison to other funds. It is based on assuming the same net expense ratio and average account value over the period, but it is multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the full half-year period). |
