IDR Core Property Index Fund Ltd
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
June 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
Please find herein the summary of operations and audited financial statements of the IDR Core Property Index Fund LTD (“Index Fund”, “Fund” or “CPIF”) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. Over the trailing 1-year period, the net total return of the Fund was 27.96% compared to 28.53% for the National Council of Investment Fiduciaries Open End Diversified Core Equity Index (“NFI-ODCE X Index”). For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Fund’s 4.64% net total return was slightly above the NFI-ODCE X Index net total return of 4.62%. The Index Fund added exposure to eight new Component Funds during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 with eleven Component Fund investments. The Index Fund made one additional commitment for future funding during the June 30, 2022 quarter and intends to increase exposure to more targeted Component Funds in the coming quarters. One small Component Fund was removed from the NFI-ODCE X Index during the quarter while another Component Fund joined, which resulted in the total number of Component Funds in the index remaining unchanged.
Property market fundamentals in the U.S. remain relatively strong amidst a less than optimistic macroeconomic outlook. Second quarter real GDP declined -0.9% on a seasonally adjusted basis, the second consecutive quarter of economic contraction. Despite a slowdown in economic activity, the labor market has shown resilience and posted an increase of 2.8 million nonfarm payroll jobs on a seasonally adjusted basis year-to-date. Furthermore, the unemployment rate remains healthy at 3.6% at the end of June. The Federal Reserve increased its target rate by 75 basis points in June as they attempt to tame record high inflation. So far this year the 10-year Treasury yield has risen from 1.5% to as high as 3.5%. As recession fears mount, the S&P 500 posted -16.1% returns in the second quarter and -10.6% returns over the trailing year. In contrast, private real estate performance posted an uncorrelated and positive double-digit return over the trailing year as noted above. As it has done historically, private real estate has provided strong real returns during the current period of elevated inflation. As the costs associated with new real estate construction continue to rise given price surges in materials, labor and energy, new supply of real estate will likely remain limited and allow fundamentals to remain in balance.

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of IDR Core Property Index Fund Ltd. (the Company), including the schedule of investments, as of June 30, 2022, the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period from April 1, 2021 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2022, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in net assets and the financial highlights for year then ended and for the period from April 1, 2021 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of June 30, 2022, by correspondence with the underlying fund advisors. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

IDR Core Property Index Fund Ltd
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2022
1. Organization
IDR Core Property Index Fund Ltd was organized as a Maryland corporation (the “Company”) on April 11, 2019 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), that operates as a closed-end non-diversified, management investment company. The Company intends to elect to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and to qualify annually thereafter, as a “real estate investment trust” pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Sections 856 through 860 (a “REIT”). The Company is managed by IDR Investment Management, LLC (the “Manager”). The Company’s registration statement permits it to offer two classes of shares known as the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. The Company commenced investment operations on April 1, 2021 with the Class A Common Stock. As of June 30, 2022, no Class B Common Stock had been sold.
The Company’s investment objective is to employ an indexing investment approach that seeks to track the NCREIF Fund Index — Open End Diversified Core Equity X (the “NFI-ODCE X” or the “NFI-ODCE X Index”) on a net-of-fee basis while minimizing tracking error. The Company will pursue its investment objective by investing primarily in real estate investment vehicles that comprise the NFI-ODCE X Index (the “Eligible Component Funds”), actively managing allocations to such Eligible Component Funds to approximate the relative weighting of such Eligible Component Funds within the NFI-ODCE X Index, and investing in short-term temporary investments and cash equivalents on an interim basis pending investment in Eligible Component Funds. In accordance with the foregoing, pending investment in Eligible Component Funds, the Company may invest excess cash in cash equivalents, U.S. government securities or high-quality debt securities maturing in one year or less from the time of investment. The Company will attempt to replicate the target index by investing all, or substantially all, of its assets in the Eligible Component Funds that make up the NFI-ODCE X Index, holding each Eligible Component Fund in approximately the same proportion as its weighting in the NFI-ODCE X Index. The Company anticipates investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its total assets in Eligible Component Funds that comprise the NFI-ODCE X Index. There can be no assurance the Company will achieve its investment objective.
The NCREIF Fund Index — Open End Diversified Core Equity (the “NFI-ODCE”) is the first fund index promulgated by the National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries (“NCREIF”). The NFI-ODCE is an index of investment returns reporting on both a historical and current basis the results of open-end commingled funds pursuing a core real estate investment strategy, some of which have performance histories dating back to the 1970s.
The NFI-ODCE is currently comprised of twenty-six component funds (the “Component Funds”). These Component Funds are generally defined as funds which purchase the four main property types (office, retail, apartments and industrial) in the U.S. using less than 35% leverage. The NFI-ODCE performance is reported on a capitalization-weighted and equal-weighted basis and returns are reported gross and net of fees. Performance measurement and reporting is time-weighted. The Manager has signed a licensing agreement with NCREIF to also provide the NFI-ODCE X Index as a secondary index which tracks only “Eligible Component Funds” (i.e., only those Component Funds that are not considered “group trusts”) that rely on Internal Revenue Service’s Revenue Ruling 81-100, as modified, from time to time, by the Internal Revenue Service. Under the above Revenue Ruling, the only investors that are permitted to invest in such group trusts are U.S. public and private pension plans and individual retirement accounts. The NFI-ODCE X Index is designed to provide investors that are not able to access all Component Funds in the NFI-ODCE Index a more accurate index to benchmark their core holdings.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation and Use of Estimates
The Company is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-08. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP 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, as well as reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Valuation of Investments
The Board of Directors (“Board”) has established an Audit Committee to oversee the valuation of the Company’s investments on behalf of the Company. The Board has approved a valuation policy for the Company (the “Valuation Policy”). The Audit Committee recommends and the Board determines the fair value of the Company’s portfolio of assets on a quarterly basis in connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements and SEC reports as required by the 1940 Act. Among other factors, the Audit Committee and the Board may consider reports prepared by an independent valuation firm with respect to some or all of the Company’s portfolio assets when determining the value of the Company’s portfolio assets. All investments are recorded at fair value, as described in Note 5.
Investment Transactions, Interest and Dividends
Investment transactions are recorded on trade date. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on a specific identification basis and are included as net realized gain (loss) on investments in the accompanying statement of operations. The difference between the cost and the fair value of open investments is reflected as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, and any change in that amount from the prior period is reflected in the accompanying statement of operations. Interest income and expense is recognized under the accrual basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date.
Income from Investment Companies
Distributions received or receivable from investments in investment companies are evaluated by the Manager to determine if the distribution is income or a return of capital. Generally, income is not recorded unless the manager of the investment company has declared the distribution, there is cash available to make the distribution and there are accumulated earnings in excess of the amount recorded as income. Distributions classified as a return of capital are a reduction in the cost basis of the investment.
Amounts shown as expenses in the statement of operations and financial highlights include only those expenses charged directly to the Company and do not reflect management fees, advisory fees, performance fees or incentive allocations, brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred by investment companies in which the Company is invested. These amounts are included in net change in unrealized appreciation on investments in the accompanying statement of operations. Also, included in the net change in unrealized appreciation on underlying investments is the Company’s allocable share of realized and unrealized gains or losses from underlying investments held by the investment companies.
Organizational and Offering Costs
The Manager has agreed to advance the Company’s organizational costs and offering costs. Organizational costs are expensed as incurred and are subject to recoupment by the Manager in accordance with the Company’s organization and offering expense limitation agreement discussed in Note 4. Offering costs, which are also subject to the Company’s organization and offering expense limitation agreement and discussed in Note 4, are amortized to expense over twelve months on a straight-line basis and have been fully amortized as of June 30, 2022.
Organizational costs consist of the costs of forming the Company, drafting of bylaws, administration, custody and transfer agency agreements and legal services in connection with the initial meeting of directors. Offering costs consist of the costs of preparing, reviewing and filing with the SEC the Company’s registration statement, the costs of preparing, reviewing and filing of any associated marketing or similar materials, the costs associated with the printing, mailing or other distribution of the Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information and/or marketing materials, and the amounts of associated filing fees and legal fees associated with the offering.
As of June 30, 2022, $621,802 has been expensed subject to the Company’s organization and offering expense limitation agreement.
Federal Income Taxes
The Company intends to qualify as a “real estate investment trust“ pursuant to the Code. The Company will be organized and operated in such a manner as to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the applicable provisions of the Code.
The Company’s qualification as a REIT depends upon the continuing satisfaction by the Company of requirements of the Code relating to qualification for REIT status. Some of these requirements depend upon actual operating results, distribution levels, diversity of stock ownership, asset composition, source of income and record keeping. Accordingly, while the Company intends to continue to qualify to be taxed as a REIT, the actual results of the Company or of certain subsidiaries that are also REITs (“REIT Subsidiaries”) for any

June 30, 2022
particular year might not satisfy these requirements since the ability to satisfy such requirements depends on the operations of the underlying Eligible Component Funds over which the Company has no control. The Company will not monitor the REIT Subsidiaries’ compliance with the requirements for REIT qualification.
The Company recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Company’s tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for the open tax year ended December 31, 2021 or expected to be taken in the Company’s December 31, 2022 year-end tax returns. The Company identified its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal and Ohio where the Company makes significant investments; however, the Company is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.
Distributions to Shareholders
To the extent the Company has earnings available for distribution, it expects to distribute quarterly dividends. The specific tax characteristics of the Company’s distributions will be reported to shareholders after the end of the calendar year. The Company’s quarterly dividends, if any, will be authorized and determined by the Board.
The Company determines annually whether to distribute any net realized long-term capital gains in excess of net realized short-term capital losses (including capital loss carryover); however, it may distribute any excess annually to its shareholders.
The Company has adopted a tax year end of December 31. The exact amount of distributable income for each tax year can only be determined at the end of the Company’s tax year ended December 31. Under Section 19 of the Investment Company Act, the Company is required to indicate the sources of certain distributions to shareholders. The estimated distribution composition may vary from quarter to quarter because it may be materially impacted by future income, expenses and realized gains and losses on securities and fluctuations in the value of the currencies in which Company assets are denominated.
The Company, in order to qualify as a REIT, is required to distribute dividends, other than capital gain dividends, to the Company’s shareholders in an amount at least equal to (1) the sum of (a) 90% of the Company’s “real estate investment trust taxable income,” computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and the Company’s net capital gain, and (b) 90% of the Company’s net after-tax income, if any, from foreclosure property minus (2) the sum of certain items of non-cash income.
3. Principal Risks
Non-Diversified Status
The Company is a “non-diversified” management investment company. Thus, there are no percentage limitations imposed by the Investment Company Act on the Company’s assets that may be invested, directly or indirectly, in the securities of any one issuer. Consequently, if one or more securities are allocated a relatively large percentage of the Company’s assets, losses suffered by such securities could result in a higher reduction in the Company’s capital than if such capital had been more proportionately allocated among a larger number of securities. The Company may also be more susceptible to any single economic or regulatory occurrence than a diversified investment company.
Limited Liquidity
Stockholders (each, a “Stockholder” and collectively, the “Stockholders”) will have limited rights to redeem capital from the Company. As a result, a Stockholder that desires to liquidate his or her investment in the Company may be unable to do so within a given timeframe, if at all. Therefore, Stockholders must be prepared to bear the financial risks of an investment in shares of the Company for an indefinite period of time.
Credit Risk
Financial assets which potentially expose the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash and investments. The Company, at times, may maintain deposits with a single high-quality financial institution in amounts that are in excess of federally insured limits; however, the Company has not experienced, nor does it anticipate, incurring any losses in its cash accounts. Investments in other investment companies are subject to credit risk should those other investment companies be unable to fulfill their redemption obligations.

Market Risk
The Company invests in other investment companies which are subject to the terms of the respective investment companies’ agreements, private placement memoranda and other governing agreements. The Company’s investments in other investment companies are subject to the market and credit risks of investments held by those entities. The Company bears the risk of loss only to the extent of the cost of its respective investment in the other investment companies.
4. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Agreements with Related Parties
IDR Investment Management, LLC serves as the Company’s investment adviser. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay the Manager the Management Fee for services rendered under the Management Agreement. The Management Fee is payable quarterly in arrears. Management Fees for any partial quarter will be appropriately prorated and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the relevant quarter. The Management Fee will be calculated at an annual rate of 0.40% of the Company’s net assets at the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter. The Manager has agreed to waive 0.10% of its management fee that it would otherwise be entitled to under the Management Agreement during the first twenty-four months following the Company’s initial closing. As a result, the base management fee due under the Management Agreement will be 0.30% during such period through quarter ending March 31, 2023. For the year ended June 30, 2022, the Manager waived $20,522 of its management fee which is included in management fees waived and other expenses reimbursed in the statement of operations. The Manager will not be entitled to receive any other advisory fees (including any incentive fee) under the Management Agreement, other than the Management Fee.
The Manager has incurred and/or paid certain organizational and offering-related expenses (“O&O Expenses”) on behalf of the Company in connection with its formation and the private placement offering of shares of its Class A Common Stock, which amounts are reimbursable by the Company. The Manager and the Company have entered into an organization and offering expense limitation agreement (the “O&O Expense Limitation”) under which the Company shall only be required to reimburse the Manager for aggregate O&O Expenses incurred and/or paid on the Company’s behalf in an amount equal to 0.50% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised by the Company in connection with offer and sale of its shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Reimbursement Limit”) until all of the O&O Expenses incurred and/or paid by the Manager have been recovered; provided, that the reimbursement of any O&O Expenses in excess of the then current Reimbursement Limit shall be deferred until otherwise payable for a period of up to five (5) years following the date on which such O&O Expenses were originally incurred and/or paid by the Manager. For the year ended June 30, 2022, the amount of these potentially recoverable O&O expenses is $599,482 which is included in management fees waived and other expenses reimbursed in the statement of operations. At June 30, 2022, the total amount of these potentially recoverable O&O expenses is $1,443,240, which expire as follows:
June 30, 2026 | $ | 843,758 | ||
June 30, 2027 | 599,482 | |||
Total | $ | 1,443,240 |
The Manager and the Company have entered into an operational expense limitation agreement (the “Expense Limitation”) under which the Manager has agreed, during the calendar quarter commencing July 1, 2021 and ending September 30, 2021 and during the calendar quarter commencing October 1, 2021 and ending December 31, 2021 and during the calendar quarter commencing January 1, 2022 and ending March 31, 2022 and during the calendar quarter commencing April 1, 2022 and ending June 30, 2022 (each a “Limitation Period”), to absorb the ordinary operating expenses of the Company (excluding interest, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses of the Company) (“Operating Expenses”) that exceed 0.20%, 0.00%, 0.00% and 0.02% per quarter, respectively, of the Company’s net assets attributable to interests in the Company at the end of the Limitation Period.
For the year ended June 30, 2022, the Manager absorbed operational expenses totaling $696,433 which is included in management fees waived and other expenses reimbursed in the statement of operations. The Company agrees to carry forward for a period not to exceed three (3) years from the end of the Limitation Period (the “Subsequent Reimbursement Period”) any Operating Expenses in excess of the Expense Limitation incurred during the Limitation Period that are paid or assumed by the Manager (or an affiliate of the Manager) pursuant to this Agreement (“Excess Operating Expenses”) and to reimburse the Manager (or an affiliate of the Manager) in the amount of such Excess Operating Expenses as set forth herein. Such reimbursement will be made as promptly as possible, but only to the extent it does not cause the Operating Expenses for any calendar quarter subsequent to the Limitation Period (a “Subsequent Quarter”) to exceed the applicable limitation on the Company’s Operating Expenses set forth in any expense limitation agreement

5. Fair Value of Investments
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), defines fair value as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing the use of the most observable input when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset and liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity; unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
A financial instrument level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the fair value hierarchy, the hierarchy level is determined based on the lowest level input(s) that is (are) significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy that prioritize inputs to the valuation methods are as follows:
● | Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
● | Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. |
● | Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and deemed significant to the overall fair value measurement. This includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. |
Investments in other investment companies are valued at fair value based on the Company’s applicable percentage of ownership of the investment companies’ reported net assets as of the measurement date, which is a practical expedient for valuation and does not require these investments to be categorized within the fair value hierarchy as determined by the Manager. In determining fair value, the Manager utilizes valuations provided by the underlying investment companies. The underlying investment companies value securities, real estate and other financial instruments at fair value. The estimated fair values of certain investments of the underlying investment companies, which may include private placements, real estate and other securities for which prices are not readily available, are determined by the general partner or sponsor of the respective investment company and may not reflect amounts that could be realized upon immediate sale, nor amounts that ultimately may be realized. Accordingly, the estimated fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had ready market existed for these investments. The fair value of the Company’s investments in other investment

June 30, 2022
companies generally represents the amount the Company would expect to receive if it were to liquidate its investment in the other investment companies excluding any redemption charges that may apply. As of June 30, 2022, the fair value of investments valued by the Company using the net asset value (“NAV”) per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient for fair value is $27,909,105.
6. Federal Income Taxes
The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from the characterization for federal income tax purposes due to differences in the recognition of income, expense and gains or loss items for financial statement and tax purposes. Where appropriate, reclassifications between net asset accounts are made for such differences that are permanent in nature.
The Company’s tax year end is December 31, 2021. As such, the information in this section is as of the Company’s most recent tax year end.
The tax character of distributions paid for the tax year ended December 31, 2021 is as follows:
Distributions paid from: | Tax Year Ended | |||
Ordinary income | $ | 89,391 | ||
Long-term capital gains | — | |||
Total distributions paid | $ | 89,391 |
The cost of investments for federal income tax purposes is adjusted for items of taxable income allocated to the Company from the Investment Funds. The allocated taxable income is reported to the Company by the Investment Funds on Schedule K-1. The Company will not receive such Schedules K-1 for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the underlying Investment Funds’ year-end) until 2023; therefore, the tax basis of investments for 2022 activity will not be finalized by the Company until after December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2021 and adjusted for activity known by the Company through fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the tax cost, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation, and net unrealized are as follows:
Cost of investments | $ | 23,274,760 | ||
Gross unrealized appreciation | 4,634,345 | |||
Gross unrealized depreciation | — | |||
Net unrealized appreciation on investments | $ | 4,634,345 |
7. Private Placements and Repurchases of Common Shares
The Company intends to conduct one or more private offerings (each, a “Private Placement”) of its Common Shares from time to time in order raise capital to invest in accordance with its investment objective. The Company intends to conduct such Private Placements in conformity with Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, in order to permit the offer, issuance and sale of its Common Shares in connection therewith without registration under the Securities Act.
Eligible Investors
Common Shares will be offered only to eligible investors. This means that to purchase Common Shares of the Company, a prospective Stockholder will be required to certify that the Common Shares are being acquired by an “accredited investor”, as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. An “accredited investor” includes, among other investors, a natural person who has a net worth (or a joint net worth with that person’s spouse), excluding the value of such natural person’s primary residence, immediately prior to the time of purchase in excess of $1 million, or income in excess of $200,000 (or joint income with the investor’s spouse in excess of $300,000) in each of the two preceding years and has a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year, and certain legal entities with total assets exceeding $5 million. Existing Stockholders seeking to purchase additional Common Shares will be required to qualify as eligible investors at the time of the additional purchase. The Manager may from time to time impose stricter or less stringent eligibility requirements. Common Shares may not be purchased by nonresident aliens, foreign corporations, foreign partnerships, foreign trusts or foreign estates, all as defined in the Code.

IDR Core Property Index Fund Ltd
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
June 30, 2022
Investor Subscriptions and Capital Calls
The Company intends to accept subscriptions from investors in connection with each Private Placement, pursuant to which such investors will commit to purchase up to an aggregate dollar amount of the Common Shares from time to time in one or more draw-downs of capital by the Company. The Company will generally draw down capital from subscribing investors and issue Common Shares to such investors on a quarterly basis (each, a “Capital Call”), depending upon availability of investments in Eligible Component Funds and the overall weighting of the Company’s portfolio relative to the NFI-ODCE Index. A portion of the proceeds of such Capital Calls may also be used by the Company to pay expenses, including any fees or expenses payable to the Manager under the Management Agreement or Administration Agreement. The Company will provide subscribing investors with no less than five (5) business days’ prior written notice of a Capital Call prior to the date on which any such capital contribution is due. Such Common Shares will initially be issued at a purchase price equal to $10 per Common Share, and thereafter at a purchase price equal to the Company’s then current NAV per Common Share. As a result, the number of Common Shares investors will receive in connection with each Capital Call will vary depending upon the Company’s then current NAV per Common Share.
Share Repurchase Program and Redemption Shares
Beginning with the first calendar quarter following the one-year anniversary of the date that the Company conducts its initial closing and acceptance of subscriptions, and on a quarterly basis thereafter, the Company intends to offer to repurchase Common Shares on such terms as may be determined by its Board, in its sole discretion, unless, in the judgment of the Board, such repurchases would not be in the Company’s best interests or would violate applicable law (the “Share Repurchase Program”). The Company will conduct such repurchase offers in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 14E and Rule 13e-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and in reliance on Section 4(2) under the Securities Act, or Regulation D thereunder, the Securities Act and Section 23(c)(1) the 1940 Act. Any offer to repurchase shares will be conducted solely through tender offer materials delivered to each Stockholder and is not being made through this Registration Statement. In accordance with the requirements of Regulation M, the Company will not issue new Common Shares while a repurchase offer remains open.
The Company will limit the number of Common Shares to be repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program in any calendar year to 20% of the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding in the prior calendar year, or 5% in each quarter, though the actual number of Common Shares that the Company offers to repurchase may be less in light of the limitations noted below. While the Company may, at the discretion of the Board, use cash on hand, cash available from borrowings and cash from the sale of investments as of the end of the applicable quarter to repurchase Common Shares, given the illiquid nature of the Company’s investments, it generally expects to issue redeeming Stockholders shares of its Class B Common Stock (the “Redemption Shares”) on a one for one basis for each of its Common Shares repurchased in connection with the Share Repurchase Program. The Company expects to issue such Redemption Shares in connection with such repurchase offers in accordance with Section 4(2) under the Securities Act or Regulation D promulgated thereunder in order to permit the offer and issuance of such Redemption Shares without registration under the Securities Act.
Each Redemption Share will have the same NAV and be entitled to the same distributions as each of the Company’s Common Shares while outstanding. Such Redemption Shares will be redeemable at the Company’s discretion at their then current NAV per Redemption Share, and the Company will generally commit, in connection with each repurchase offer to use any available funds, either from new investor subscriptions or the disposition of the Company’s investments, to redeem such Redemption Shares within one year after their issuance. Pursuant to the Charter, the Company will redeem Redemption Shares in the order in which they were issued, provided, that to the extent the Company redeems less than the full number of Redemption Shares issued on a specific date, it will do so on a pro rata basis. The Company intends to treat the Redemption Shares as a “senior security” for purposes of the 1940 Act. As a result, the Company must generally have an asset coverage ratio of at least 200%, taking into account the aggregate repurchase obligation with respect to its outstanding Redemption Shares and any other senior securities it may have outstanding, which will limit the number of Redemption Shares the Company may have outstanding at any one time. In addition, in accordance with the 1940 Act, at any time the Company has Redemption Shares outstanding, two of the members of its Board will be designated as subject to election by the holders of such outstanding Redemption Shares, voting as a separate class. A majority of the outstanding voting securities of a company is defined under the 1940 Act as the lesser of: (a) 67% or more of such Company’s voting securities present at a meeting if more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of such company are present or represented by proxy, or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of such company.

June 30, 2022
In connection with its consideration of whether to offer to exchange Common Shares for Redemption Shares, the Board will consider any requests it has received from Stockholders. If the amount of repurchase requests exceeds the number of Common Shares the Company seeks to repurchase, the Company will repurchase or exchange such Common Shares on a pro rata basis. As a result, the Company may repurchase less than the full amount of Common Shares that a Stockholder requests to have repurchased. Further, the Company will not be obligated to repurchase Common Shares or redeem Redemption Shares issued in any repurchase offers if doing so would violate restrictions on distributions under applicable federal or Maryland law, including Section 2-311 of the Maryland General Corporation Law, prohibiting distributions that would cause the Company to fail to meet statutory tests of solvency. If the Company does not repurchase the full amount of a Stockholder’s shares that such Stockholder has requested to be repurchased, or the Board determines not to make repurchases of its Common Shares or to redeem any Redemption Shares issued in connection with prior repurchase offers, Stockholders may not be able to dispose of their Common Shares or Redemption Shares. In addition, any redemption of Redemption Shares issued in connection with repurchase offers will be subject in part to the Company’s available cash and compliance with the REIT qualification rules promulgated under the Code and the 1940 Act. The Company will not borrow funds to redeem Redemption Shares.
While the Company intends to conduct quarterly repurchases of its Common Shares as described above, the Company is not required to do so, and the Board may suspend or terminate the share repurchase program at any time. While it is unlikely to do so, the Company may also conduct repurchases of its Common Stock at other times outside the Share Repurchase Program if it determines that doing so would be in the best interests of the Company.
Redemption Shares are also subject to a number of further significant limitations which preclude redemption by the Company if such redemption (i) could cause the Company to fail to maintain its qualification as a REIT or as a “domestically controlled qualified investment entity” within the meaning of Section 897(h)(4)(B) of the Code, (ii) may cause the Company to be treated as a “pension-held REIT” within the meaning of Section 856(h)(3)(D) of the Code, or (iii) together with all other repurchase offers during any applicable fiscal quarter would require the Company to pay less than $250,000 in respect of such requests.
Default by a Subscribing Investor
All capital commitments by an investor to the Company are irrevocable. Upon any default by an investor to make a capital contribution when due that is not cured within five business days, such defaulting investor shall be deemed a “Defaulted Stockholder” and the Company may take any or all of the following actions, in the Company’s discretion: (i) cause the amount due to bear interest payable to the Company at a rate of the higher of (x) 12% per annum and (y) any default rate per annum that may be imposed by any Eligible Component Fund on the Company in connection with a default by the Company to make a capital contribution when due to such Eligible Component Fund that was caused by the default of the Defaulted Stockholder; (ii) cancel the Defaulted Stockholder’s remaining capital commitment in whole or in part; or (iii) acquire all of the Common Shares and/or Redemption Shares of the Defaulted Stockholder for a price equal to 70% of the then current NAV per share.
8. Investment Transactions
For the year ended June 30, 2022, total capital called by Investment Funds amounted to $14,554,900 and total capital distributions received from Investment Funds amounted to $70,898.
9. Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred. However, the Company expects the risk of loss to be remote.
10. Subsequent Events
In preparing these financial statements, management has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of the financial statements included herein. During this period, purchases of investments in private real estate funds equaled $1,750,000. There have been no other subsequent events that occurred during such period that would require disclosure or would be required to be recognized in the financial statements.

Item 7. | Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies. |
PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
IDR Core Property Index Fund Ltd has delegated its proxy voting responsibility to its investment adviser, IDR Investment Management, LLC (the “Adviser”). The proxy voting policies and procedures of the Adviser (these “Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures”) are set forth below. These Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures are reviewed periodically by the Adviser and the Company’s non-interested directors, and, accordingly, are subject to change. For purposes of these Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures described below, any capitalized terms not defined therein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Compliance Policies & Procedures Manual of the Adviser, currently in effect as of the date hereof.
Policy
In accordance with Rule 206(4)-6 under the Advisers Act, it is the policy of the Company to vote all proxies in respect of securities in client accounts (“Client Securities”) over which the Company has voting discretion in a manner consistent with best interests of the Company’s clients. Given the Company’s business of investing in private real estate funds (limited partnerships), proxy voting is often not applicable.
Responsibility
The CCO is responsible for ensuring adherence to the Company’s Proxy Voting Policy.
Procedures
The Company generally will monitor proposed corporate actions and proxy issues regarding Client Securities, and may take any of the following actions based on the best interests of our clients: (i) determine how to vote the proxies, (ii) abstain, or (iii) follow the recommendations of an independent proxy voting service in voting the proxies.
In general, the Company will determine how to vote proxies based on our reasonable judgment of the vote most likely to produce favorable financial results for our clients. Proxy votes generally will be cast in favor of proposals that maintain or strengthen the shared interests of shareholders and management, increase shareholder value, maintain or increase shareholder influence over the issuer’s board of directors and management and maintain or increase the rights of shareholders. Proxy votes generally will be cast against proposals having the opposite effect. However, the Company will consider both sides of each proxy issue.
Conflicts of Interest
Conflicts of interest between the Company or a principal of the Company and the Company’s clients in respect of a proxy issue conceivably may arise, for example, from personal or professional relationships with a company or with the directors, candidates for director, or senior executives of a company that is the issuer of Client Securities.
If the Compliance Officer determines that a material conflict of interest exists, the following procedures shall be followed:
· | The Company may abstain from voting; or |
· | The Company may follow the recommendations of an independent proxy voting service in voting the proxies. |
Disclosure
A summary of the Company’s Proxy Voting Policy will be included in the Company’s Disclosure Brochure. The full text of the Company’s Proxy Voting Policy will be provided to investors upon request.
Recordkeeping Requirements
The Company shall maintain the following records relating to this Policy:
· | A copy of the Policy as it may be amended from time to time. |
· | A copy of each proxy statement received by the Company in respect of Client Securities. This requirement may be satisfied by relying on a third party to make and retain, on the Company’s behalf, a copy of a proxy statement (provided that the Company has obtained an undertaking from the third party to provide a copy of the proxy statement promptly upon request), or the Company may rely on obtaining a copy of a proxy statement from the SEC’s EDGAR system. |
· | A record of each vote cast by the Company on behalf of a client. This requirement may be satisfied by relying on a third party to make and retain, on the Company’s behalf, a record of the vote cast (if the Company has obtained an undertaking from the third party to provide a copy of the record promptly upon request). |
· | A copy of any document created by the Company that was material to making a decision about how to vote proxies on behalf of a client or that memorializes the basis for that decision. |
· | A copy of each written investor request for information about how the Company voted proxies on behalf of the client, and a copy of any written response by the Company to any such (written or oral) investor request. |
All of the foregoing records shall be maintained and preserved in an easily accessible place for a period of not less than five years from the end of the fiscal year during which the last entry was made on such record, the first two years in the offices of the Company.
Item 8. | Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies. |
(a)(1) Identification of Portfolio Manager(s) or Management Team Members and Description of Role of Portfolio Manager(s) or Management Team Members
The following table provides biographical information about the members of the Adviser who are primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund as of June 30, 2022:
Name of Portfolio Manager | Title | Length of Time of Service to the Fund | Business Experience During the Past 5 Years |
Garrett E. Zdolshek | Chief Investment Officer | Chief Investment Officer since 2020 | Portfolio Manager at IDR Investment Management, LLC |
(a)(2) Other Accounts Managed by Portfolio Manager(s) and Potential Conflicts of Interest
As of June 30, 2022, Garrett E. Zdolshek, as the portfolio manager primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund, does not presently serve in a similar capacity for any other registered investment companies. In addition, while he has done so in the past and may do so again in the future, Garrett E. Zdolshek does not presently manage any other pooled investment vehicles or other accounts.
Conflicts of Interest
The Fund’s portfolio manager serves or may serve as an officer, director or principal of entities that operate in the same or related lines of business as the Fund or of investment funds managed by the Manager or affiliates of the Fund. Accordingly, they may have obligations to investors in those entities that may require him to devote time to services for other entities, which could interfere with the time available to provide services to the Fund. In addition, although other investment funds managed by the Manager may have different primary investment objectives than the Fund, they may from time to time invest in asset classes similar to those targeted by the Fund. The Manager is not restricted from raising an investment fund with investment objectives similar to the Fund’s. Furthermore, the Fund may not be given the opportunity to participate in certain investments made by such entities.
As a result of the arrangements described above, there may be times when the Fund’s portfolio manager has interests that differ from those of Stockholders, giving rise to a conflict of interest.
(a)(3) Compensation Structure of Portfolio Manager
None of the Fund’s investment personnel, including its portfolio manager, receives any direct compensation from the Fund in connection with the management of the Fund’s portfolio. Garrett E. Zdolshek, through his financial interests in the Manager, is entitled to a portion of any profits earned by the Manager, which includes any fees payable to the Manager under the terms of the Management Agreement, less expenses incurred by the Manager in performing its services under the Management Agreement.
The specific form of compensation of a portfolio manager may also include a variety of components and may vary from year to year based on a number of factors. In particular, a portfolio manager may also receive, all or some combination of a salary and a bonus.
Base compensation
Generally, when a portfolio manager receives base compensation, it is based on their individual seniority and their position within the firm.
Discretionary compensation
In addition to base compensation, a portfolio manager may receive discretionary compensation. Discretionary compensation may be based on individual seniority and contribution.
