Attention Investors: Brookfield Real Assets Income Fund Inc. Unveils Q1 2026 Distribution Plan – But Here’s What You Need to Know
NEW YORK, Dec. 26, 2025 – In a move that’s sure to spark interest among income-focused investors, Brookfield Real Assets Income Fund Inc. (NYSE: RA) has just announced its quarterly distribution schedule for the first three months of 2026. But here’s where it gets intriguing: the Fund’s Board of Directors has declared consistent monthly payouts of $0.1180 per share for January, February, and March 2026. Here’s the breakdown:
Q1 2026 Distribution Schedule at a Glance
| Month | Record Date | Ex-Dividend Date | Payable Date | Amount per Share |
|-------------|-------------------|------------------|------------------|------------------|
| January 2026 | January 8, 2026 | January 8, 2026 | January 22, 2026 | $0.1180 |
| February 2026| February 5, 2026 | February 5, 2026 | February 19, 2026| $0.1180 |
| March 2026 | March 12, 2026 | March 12, 2026 | March 26, 2026 | $0.1180 |
And this is the part most people miss: Shares purchased on or after the ex-dividend dates won’t qualify for these distributions. It’s a critical detail for anyone looking to maximize their income potential. Additionally, these payouts may include a mix of net investment income, capital gains, and/or return of capital. Controversial point alert: While a return of capital might seem like a red flag, it doesn’t necessarily reflect poor performance. It’s a common practice in certain funds, but it’s crucial not to confuse it with ‘yield’ or ‘income.’ For a deeper dive, the Fund’s Section 19a-1 Notice is available at Brookfield’s website.
Tax implications are another layer to consider. While it’s anticipated that a portion of the 2026 distributions will be treated as a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the final determination won’t be made until early 2026. Investors will receive this information via Form 1099-DIV. Thought-provoking question: How do you weigh the benefits of consistent distributions against the complexities of their tax treatment?
