CBRE Global Real Estate Income Fund operates as a closed-end fund that provides global exposure to a diverse range of real estate securities. The fund provides a high dividend yield of 14.6% while issuing payouts on a monthly basis. The fund's aggressive dividend payout has translated to continuous NAV erosion as earnings cannot keep up.
