1. ORGANIZATION
Apollo Diversified Real Estate Fund (the "Fund") is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund engages in a continuous offering of shares and operates as an interval fund that offers quarterly repurchases of shares at Net Asset Value (“NAV”). The Fund was organized as a statutory trust on November 5, 2013, under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Fund commenced operations on June 30, 2014 and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares with no par value. The Fund’s investment adviser is Apollo Real Estate Fund Adviser, LLC (the "Adviser"), a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”) and an affiliate of Apollo Global Management, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries ("Apollo"). The investment objective of the Fund is to generate a return comprised of both current income and capital appreciation with moderate volatility and low correlation to the broader markets. The Fund pursues its investment objective by strategically investing across private institutional real estate investment funds as well as a diversified set of public real estate securities.
The Fund currently offers Class A, Class C, Class I, Class M and Class L shares. Class A shares commenced operations on June 30, 2014, Class C and Class I shares commenced operations on August 10, 2015, Class M shares commenced operations on November 17, 2016 and Class L shares commenced operations on April 25, 2017. The sales load payable by each investor depends on the amount invested, and the class of shares invested into, by such investor in the Fund. Class A and Class L shares are offered subject to a maximum sales charge of 5.75% and 4.25%, respectively, of their offering price. Class C, Class I and Class M shares are offered at net asset value. Class C shares may be subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge on shares redeemed during the first 365 days after their purchase. Each class represents an interest in the same assets of the Fund and classes are identical except for differences in their sales charge structures and ongoing service and distribution charges. All classes of shares have equal voting privileges except that each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its service and/or distribution plans. The Fund's income, expenses (other than class specific service and distribution fees) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated proportionately each day based upon the relative net assets of each class.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Fund is considered an investment company following accounting and reporting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 – Financial Services – 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.
Determination of the Fund’s Net Asset Value – The net asset value per share for the Fund is determined following the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, on each day the NYSE is open for trading. Each of the Fund’s share classes will be offered at net asset value plus the applicable sales load, if any. The Fund’s net asset value per share is calculated, on a class-specific basis, by dividing the value of the Fund’s net assets by the total number of shares outstanding. The Fund’s net asset value per share is calculated, on a class specific basis, by dividing the value of the Fund’s total assets (the value of the securities the Fund holds plus cash or other assets, including interest accrued but not yet received), less accrued expenses and other liabilities of the Fund, by the total number of shares outstanding.
Valuation of the Fund's Portfolio – The Board has adopted procedures pursuant to which the Fund will value its investments (the “Valuation Policy and Procedures”). In accordance with the Valuation Policy and Procedures, the Fund’s portfolio investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available or are deemed to be unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. As permitted by Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Adviser as the Fund’s valuation designee (“Valuation Designee”) to perform fair value determinations relating to all portfolio investments. The Adviser carries out its designated responsibilities as Valuation Designee through various teams pursuant to the Valuation Policy and Procedures which govern the Valuation Designee’s selection and application of methodologies and independent pricing services for determining and calculating the fair value of portfolio investments. The Valuation Designee will fair value portfolio investments utilizing inputs from various external and internal sources including, but not limited to, independent pricing services, dealer quotation reporting systems, independent third-party valuation firms and proprietary information. When determining the fair value of an investment, one or more fair value methodologies may be used. Fair value determinations will be based upon all available factors that the Valuation Designee deems relevant at the time of the determination. Fair valuation involves subjective judgments, and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may differ materially from the value that could be realized upon the sale of the security.
Valuation of Public Securities – The Fund’s portfolio investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of official exchange (e.g., NYSE or NASDAQ) closing prices or the last reported sales prices. Portfolio investments listed on more than one exchange will generally be valued at the last quoted sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Portfolio investments traded on a foreign exchange are valued as of the close of the NYSE at the closing price of such investments in their principal trading market but may be fair valued if subsequent events occurring before the computation of net asset value have materially affected the value of the securities. Trading may take place in foreign investments held by the Fund at times when the Fund is not open for business. To the extent certain of the Fund’s portfolio investments are traded in the over- the- counter market, such investments are valued on the basis of quotations obtained from independent pricing services. If such quotations are not readily available or become unreliable, the Valuation Designee may recommend valuation through other means.
Valuation of Private Investment Funds – The Fund’s allocation to Private Investment Funds generally includes open-end private investment funds that elect to be treated as REITs for tax purposes. The Private Investment Funds generally include private funds investing in real estate assets (“Private Equity Funds”) and private funds investing in debt instruments secured or otherwise supported by real estate assets (“Private Debt Funds”). The sponsors or agents of the Private Investment Funds measure their investment assets at fair value and report a NAV per share no less frequently than quarterly (“Sponsor NAV”). The Private Investment Funds have generally adopted valuation practices consistent with the valuation standards and techniques established by professional industry associations that advise the institutional real estate investment community. Such valuation standards seek general application of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) fair value standards, uniform appraisal standards and the engagement of independent valuation advisory firms.
The valuations of the Private Investment Funds have a considerable impact on the Fund’s NAV as a significant portion of the Fund’s assets are invested in Private Investment Funds. Market and dealer quotations are generally not readily available for the Private Investment Funds in which the Fund invests, and as such, the Fund utilizes Sponsor NAVs or other valuation methodologies when determining the fair value of the Private Investment Funds. The Fund may also use a third-party valuation specialist to assist in determining fair value of the Private Investment Funds held in the Fund’s portfolio.
ASC 820 allows the Fund, as a practical expedient, to estimate the fair value of the Private Investment Funds by using the NAV per share of each respective investment as of the Fund’s measurement date. Under ASC 820, investments utilizing the practical expedient are not to be categorized in the fair value hierarchy described below and included in the Fund’s financial statements but rather, the number of investments measured using the NAV practical expedient is disclosed to permit reconciliation of the fair value of investments in the hierarchy to the corresponding line items in the Fund’s balance sheet.
Private Equity Funds. The Private Equity Funds produce Sponsor NAVs no less frequently than quarterly. Such Sponsor NAVs are reviewed by the Adviser upon receipt and subsequently applied to the Fund’s NAV following consultation with the Private Equity Fund sponsor, if necessary. In between receipt of Sponsor NAVs, where applicable, the value of each Private Equity Fund is adjusted daily by the change in a proprietary index (the “Index”) that the Fund’s Board has deemed representative of the private equity real estate market. This process is applied daily to each respective Private Equity Fund until the receipt of the next Sponsor NAV. Certain of the Private Equity Funds may provide the Adviser with a daily valuation and in such instances the Index is not applied. The Index seeks to reflect market conditions of the broader private equity real estate market in an effort to ensure any such changes in market conditions are reflected in the NAV of the Fund. The Index is comprised of private real estate investment funds (“Index Constituents”) that produce a daily NAV and generally hold institutional quality assets. The Index is monitored by the Adviser on a regular basis, and the Adviser will consult with the Valuation Committee if monitoring suggests a modification to the Index Constituents or other change(s) to the Index to better reflect market conditions. Further, in the event that a Sponsor NAV is not provided by a Private Equity Fund following the conclusion of such Private Equity Fund’s valuation period, the Adviser shall inform the Valuation Committee and a meeting may be called to determine fair value.
Private Debt Funds. The Private Debt Funds produce Sponsor NAVs no less frequently than quarterly. Such Sponsor NAVs are reviewed by the Adviser upon receipt and subsequently applied to the Fund’s NAV following consultation with the Private Debt Fund sponsor, if necessary. The Fund will, in certain cases, accrue income on a daily basis for each Private Debt Fund based on the prior period’s distribution rate and/or guidance provided by each respective Private Debt Fund sponsor. In the event that a Sponsor NAV is not provided by a Private Debt Fund following the conclusion of such Private Debt Fund’s valuation period, or if the Adviser becomes aware of an event warranting an update to a Private Debt Fund valuation, the Adviser shall inform the Valuation Committee and a meeting may be called to determine fair value.
Fair Value Measurements – A three-tier hierarchy has been established to classify fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on the best information available. In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Fund discloses fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value:
Level 1 – | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date; |
| |
Level 2 – | Quoted prices which are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability at the measurement date; and |
| |
Level 3 – | Significant unobservable prices or inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. |
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.
An investment level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input, individually or in the aggregate, that is significant to fair value measurement. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. The valuation techniques used by the Fund to measure fair value during the period ended June 30, 2024 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. For the period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund did not use unobservable inputs (Level 3) when determining fair value. The following is a summary of the fair valuations according to the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2024:
Investments in Securities at Value | | Level 1 – Quoted Prices | | | Level 2 – Other Significant Observable Inputs | | | Level 3 – Significant Unobservable Inputs | | | Total | |
Real Estate Investment Trusts | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Private Investment Funds (Measured at net asset value)(a) | | $ | – | | | $ | – | | | $ | – | | | $ | 3,083,470,819 | |
Publicly Traded Securities | | | 1,697,172,348 | | | | – | | | | – | | | | 1,697,172,348 | |
Preferred Stocks | | | 113,696,513 | | | | – | | | | – | | | | 113,696,513 | |
Short Term Investment | | | 11,064,323 | | | | – | | | | – | | | | 11,064,323 | |
Total | | $ | 1,821,933,184 | | | $ | – | | | $ | – | | | $ | 4,905,404,003 | |
| (a) | In accordance with Subtopic 820-10, certain investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Schedule of Investments. |
The carrying and fair value of the Fund's debt obligation as of June 30, 2024 for which the Fund has determined would be categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy was $509,900,000.
Investment Transactions – Investment security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on a specific identification basis. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the security received.
Unfunded Commitments – Typically, when the Fund invests in a Private Investment Fund, the Fund makes a commitment to invest a specified amount of capital in the applicable Private Investment Fund. The capital commitment may be drawn by the general partner of the Private Investment Fund either all at once or through a series of capital calls at the discretion of the general partner. Thus, an Unfunded Commitment represents the portion of the Fund’s overall capital commitment to a particular Private Investment Fund that has not yet been called by the general partner of the Private Investment Fund. Unfunded Commitments may subject the Fund to certain risks. For example, the Fund may be required to: liquidate other portfolio investments, potentially at inopportune times, in order to obtain the cash needed to satisfy its obligations with respect to a capital call; borrow under a line of credit which may result in additional expenses to the Fund; or, to the extent a buyer can be identified and subject to the provisions of the limited partnership agreement of the relevant Private Investment Fund, seek to sell/assign the interest subject to the capital call to a third party thereby eliminating the obligation. In addition, should the Fund be unable to satisfy its commitment obligation on a timely basis and defaults on a called capital commitment, the underlying Private Investment Fund, pursuant to its limited partnership agreement, typically has a number of potential remedies, including, by way of illustration, a reallocation of the Fund's defaulted commitment amount to other limited partners, a reallocation of a portion of the Fund's existing interest to the other limited partners as a penalty for the default, or the general partner of underlying Private Investment Fund could sue the Fund for breach of contract. As of June 30, 2024, the Fund had total Unfunded Commitments in the amount of $85,000,000.
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 and 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, based on industry experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.
