About Us

RMR Mortgage Trust (Nasdaq: RMRM), formerly known as RMR Real Estate Income Fund, has historically operated as a closed end investment company advised by RMR Advisors LLC. RMR Advisors LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of The RMR Group LLC. As of September 30, 2020, The RMR Group LLC had approximately $32 billion of total assets under management.

On April 16, 2020, shareholders approved a change in RMRM’s business from a registered investment company to a commercial mortgage REIT and amended RMRM’s fundamental investment policies and restrictions to permit RMRM to pursue its new business (the “Business Change Plan”). Among other investment policy changes, RMRM’s fundamental investment objectives of earning and paying a high level of current income to common shareholders, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective, have been replaced with a non-fundamental primary objective to balance capital preservation with generating attractive risk adjusted returns. RMRM has begun the process of realigning its portfolio so that it is no longer an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and has filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a Deregistration Order. RMRM intends to sell its existing investments and transition its portfolio into commercial mortgages as opportunities within its new business mandate arise and subject to applicable compliance requirements and other business considerations. After deregistration, the Board of Trustees anticipates RMRM will terminate its existing investment advisory agreement and enter into a new management agreement with its investment adviser or an affiliate of the investment adviser to provide day-to-day management.

Manager & Platform

RMRM’s investment adviser, RMR Advisors LLC, is an SEC registered investment adviser founded in 2002 and a wholly owned subsidiary of The RMR Group LLC, an alternative asset manager founded in 1986 to manage commercial real estate companies and related businesses. As of June 30, 2020, RMR Advisors had approximately $277 million of assets under management.

After RMRM receives the Deregistration Order, the Board anticipates that RMRM will enter into a new management agreement with its investment adviser or an affiliate of its investment adviser, who would continue to provide the day-to-day management of RMRM’s operations, subject to the oversight and direction of the Board.

RMR Advisors' Leadership

RMR Advisors LLC and its affiliates have significant experience and expertise in managing REITs and in investing in commercial properties that have values up to $75.0 million. An affiliate of the investment adviser currently manages a mortgage REIT, and RMRM expects that the same personnel that conduct the business of that mortgage REIT would conduct RMRM’s business as a commercial mortgage REIT.
