Stockholder servicing fees only apply to Class S, Class T, Class D and Class M shares. For purposes of NAV, we recognize the stockholder servicing fee as a reduction of NAV on a daily basis as such fee is accrued. Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we accrue future stockholder servicing fees in an amount equal to our best estimate of fees payable to the dealer manager at the time such shares are sold. As of March 31, 2025, we accrued under GAAP $94,854 of stockholder servicing fees payable to the dealer manager. As a result, the estimated liability for the future stockholder servicing fees, which are accrued at the time each share is sold, will have no effect on the NAV of any class. The dealer manager does not retain any of these stockholder servicing fees, all of which are retained by, or reallowed (paid) to, participating broker-dealers.

Market Update
The Treasury yield curve steepened in March as markets attempted to gauge Fed policymakers’ reaction to slowing economic growth and rising inflation. The policy-sensitive 2-year Treasury yield fell -10 bps, to 3.89%, while the 10-year Treasury ended the month unchanged at 4.21%. Against this backdrop, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index was flat (+0.04%) in March. Amid significant interest rate volatility over the last five years, however, the Agg has generated a negative return (-0.4%).

​
 
CRE deal activity and pricing continued to rebound in February.
•
Following an extended, 18-month slump, deal volumes have shown meaningful year-over-year gains in four of the past six months.1
​
•
The RCA CPPI National All-Property Index returned 1.3% in February, compared to 0.30% in January, which was the Index’s first positive return since October 2022.1 February’s price gains were driven by growth in the retail and industrial sectors coupled with moderating declines in other property types.1
​
Against this backdrop, market participants expressed growing confidence that an improving balance between supply and demand will support CRE fundamentals.
•
The CREFC CRE Sentiment Index, a quarterly survey tracking shifts in CRE market conditions, has steadily improved from its nadir in Q3 2022, reaching an eight-year high by Q4 2024. CMBS spreads remain tight by historical standard, though they edged modestly higher in March amid heightened policy uncertainty.
​
Fundamentals across most property types showed improvement during Q4 2024.
•
Net operating income growth moved notably higher within the industrial and retail sectors while occupancy rates remain healthy across all property types outside of office.1
​
•
Meanwhile, completions in the multifamily and industrial sectors will plunge this year as higher rates depleted the new construction pipeline. Supply growth in the retail and office sectors remains essentially nonexistent.
​
We believe the lack of new supply, combined with a strong demand for space, will promote a meaningful improvement in rent growth across most sectors and allow property owners the opportunity to drive strong income growth once again.
Performance Update
We generated positive total returns across all share classes in March driven by distributions paid during the month and appreciation of approximately $0.01 per share in our NAV.
We have delivered 60 consecutive months of positive total returns across varying macroeconomic conditions and financial markets including a highly volatile rate environment. The current annualized distribution rate is 7.67% for Class I shares, 7.15% for Class D shares, 7.13% for Class M shares, 6.54% for Class S shares and 6.61% for Class T shares, based on the May 1, 2025 transaction price.
•
The tax equivalent distribution rate is 8.57% for Class I shares, 7.99% for Class D shares, 7.97% for Class M shares, 7.31% for Class S shares and 7.39% for Class T shares, based on the May 1, 2025 transaction price.2
​
We offer a high level of excess income over short-term rates on a nominal and real basis.
•
Based on the Class I share, our annualized distribution rate of 7.67% is 337 basis points above 3-month Treasury bills (T-bills) on a nominal and real yield basis.3
​
•
Our tax-equivalent annualized distribution rate is 427bps over 3-month T-bills, or 3.2x higher compared to T-bills when comparing real yields/distribution rates.

Tax-equivalent distribution rate reflects the distribution rate required under the prior tax law in order for an investor to receive the same after-tax income under the new tax law. For example, a REIT’s annualized distribution rate would need to be 8.57% under the prior tax law in order for investors to receive the same amount of after-tax income as a REIT with an annualized distribution rate of 7.67% under the new tax law. The distribution rates quoted assume a 37% tax bracket. Certain provisions of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017 are set to expire at the end of 2025.

As a senior lender, our loans have first claim on rental income ahead of equity holders and are last to absorb losses if property values decline. We believe this seniority is especially important during market pullbacks. While recent market volatility has negatively impacted the public markets, approximately 85% of our portfolio is comprised of private senior loans that are held to maturity at amortized cost, subject to impairment. Therefore, our NAV is primarily determined on fundamental value rather than market sentiment.
Investment Highlights
We purchased a $31.6 million senior loan from a commercial bank seeking to rebalance its CRE holdings. The loan is collateralized by two mid-rise multifamily properties with ground-floor retail space in upper Manhattan. The property is located near The City College of New York and Columbia University, providing consistent demand for student housing, among other drivers.
Portfolio Highlights
As of March 31, 2025, the portfolio was weighted to multifamily (52%), followed by hospitality (15%) and industrial (10%).
•
The portfolio’s allocation reflects our view that these sectors are well-positioned to benefit from long-term structural trends such as the record-high cost of homeownership (multifamily), strong demand for business and leisure travel (hospitality), and continued demand for technologically advanced warehouse space (industrial).
​
Assets on nonaccrual represented 3.00% of the portfolio as of March 31, 2025.
We believe our portfolio is well-positioned to deliver an attractive, high level of income and preserve capital driven by the:
•
Debt-focused nature of our strategy, as we believe forward returns in commercial real estate will largely be driven by income generation and property cash flows compared to price appreciation.
​
•
Relative level of income above cash yields.   While our distribution rate is influenced by the level and direction of short-term rates, we take a long-term approach to setting our distributions. Our distribution policy considers the forward secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) curve, our borrowings, the pace of our capital raise, the expected timing of potential new originations as well as paydowns and prepayments, among other factors. Our distributions have not historically adjusted in lockstep with changes in interest rates.
​
•
Available liquidity for new investments.   While many traditional lenders and peers are constrained in making new loans, we have maintained a strong liquidity profile which, when combined with proceeds from our continuous offering, and the natural turnover of the portfolio due to repayments, allows us to remain a capital provider.
​
•
Continued strong performance of portfolio.   We have generated positive total returns in 85 out of 87 months; our largest monthly drawdown was just -0.27% in March 2020.
​
•
High level of equity cushion beneath our loans.   As a senior lender, the loans in our portfolio receive priority. They are first to be paid from rental income and are last to absorb losses if property values decline.
​
•
Deep experience of FS Investments and Rialto managing through CRE market cycles.   We continue to monitor the portfolio and are proactively engaged with our borrowers. We remain focused on reducing the modest level of loans on nonaccrual in the portfolio and maximizing shareholder value for the select number of foreclosed properties.
​
•
Geographically diversified composition of our $9 billion portfolio, weighted to multifamily properties.
​
•
The long-term nature of our borrowings, as approximately 87% of our borrowings are financed through match-term, non-mark-to-market facilities, which help reduce the portfolio’s volatility amid a changing rate environment, manage risk and drive returns.
