2) maximizing REIT Unit value through the ongoing management of Centurion Apartment REIT’s assets and through the future acquisition of additional multi-unit residential properties.

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs): are income-producing, diversified real estate investments. REITs have a history of providing steady income, long-term capital growth, lower volatility versus other asset classes (depending on the REIT) and may provide a hedge against inflation. All REITs operate like mutual funds. They are one of the most popular options to add the benefits of real estate investments into a portfolio for both institutional and individual investors.
If steady income, capital preservation and stable, moderate growth are key to an investment decision, consider a “Private” Apartment REIT for these and additional reasons outlined in the section below.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: This communication is for information purposes only and is not, and under no circumstances is to be construed as, an invitation to make an investment in Centurion Apartment REIT. Investing in the REIT Units involves significant risks. There is currently no secondary market through which the REIT Units may be sold and there can be no assurance that any such market will develop. A return on an investment in REIT Units of Centurion Apartment REIT is not comparable to the return on an investment in a fixed-income security. The recovery of an initial investment is at risk, and the anticipated return on such an investment is based on many performance assumptions. Although Centurion Apartment REIT intends to make regular distributions of its available cash to Unitholders, such distributions may be reduced or suspended. The actual amount distributed will depend on numerous factors, including Centurion Apartment REIT’s financial performance, debt covenants and obligations, interest rates, the occupancy rates of Centurion Apartment REIT’s properties, working capital requirements and future capital requirements. In addition, the market value of the REIT Units may decline if Centurion Apartment REIT is unable to meet its cash distribution targets in the future, and that decline may be material. It is important for an investor to consider the particular risk factors that may affect the industry in which it is investing and therefore the stability of the distributions that it receives. There can be no assurance that income tax laws and the treatment of mutual fund trusts will not be changed in a manner which adversely affects Centurion.PAST PERFORMANCE MAY NOT BE REPEATED. Investing in REIT Units can involve significant risks and the value of an investment may go down as well as up. There is no guarantee of performance. An investment in a REIT is not intended as a complete investment program and should only be made after consultation with independent investment and tax advisors. Only investors who do not require immediate liquidity of their investment should consider a potential purchase of Units. The risks involved in this type of investment may be greater than those normally associated with other types of investments. Please refer to the REIT Offering Memorandum for a further discussion of the risks of investing in a REIT.(1) The above chart is shown only to demonstrate the Manager’s track record and experience with managing apartments. The chart is a composite of the performance of CAPLP and Centurion Apartment REIT (the "REIT"). CAPLP was formed on 7 March 2006. The REIT was formed on 31 August 2009. It is important to note that there are a number of material differences between CAPLP and the REIT which include, but are not limited to: 1) CAPLP used higher degrees of leverage than the REIT intends to use which will, in general have the effect of lowering overall returns but also risk in the REIT relative to CAPLP; 2) CAPLP had a different business and operating strategy than the REIT. CAPLP was designed primarily as a capital growth vehicle and didn't distribute cash flow whereas the REIT is designed to be an income vehicle with modest long term growth; 3) CAPLP bought properties that generally needed higher degrees of capital investment than properties the REIT will likely buy and thus CAPLP may have had outsized opportunities for gains relative to opportunities the REIT may pursue in the future; 4) Because the REIT is designed as an income generating vehicle, the REIT will not be as aggressive in repositioning properties on as large a scale as may have been done in CAPLP; and 5) The Manager is targeting a more conservative risk profile with the REIT that it had done with a capital growth oriented vehicle like CAPLP and thus anticipates that the returns of the REIT will be lower than have been achieved by CAPLP. These differences and others will mean that the performance and risk characteristics of CAPLP and the REIT will be different and potentially materially different. Potential investors should not look upon the performance of CAPLP as indicative of potential performance of the REIT.Morningstar Research Inc. is an independent research firm.
