4 Since Inception Net Return covers the period beginning October 2019 to March 2021 (the “Private Fund Period”) and the period beginning April 2021 to present (the “Registered Fund Period”) and is calculated based on formulas specified by SEC guidelines (Form N-1A) and AIMR Performance Presentation. For the Private Fund Period, the Adviser replicated periodic NAV based on historical fund information, as NAV was not a component of the Fund’s performance reporting during that time. Since Inception Net Return is shownon both a cumulative and annualized basis. The annualized Since Inception Net Return is the cumulative Since Inception Net Return divided by the number of years the Fund has been in existence, dating back to the commencement of the Private Fund Period. As ofSeptember 28, 2022, the Fund converted to a registered closed-end interval fund in accordance with Rule 23c-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund commenced investment operations as a registered closedendtender fund on April 16, 2021, after the conversion from a limited partnership private fund exempt from registration under the 1940 Act, Forum Integrated Income Fund I, L.P., which commenced operations on October 24, 2019, (the “Private Fund”). Informationportrayed prior to April 16, 2021, reflects the Private Fund. The Private Fund was not registered under the 1940 Act, and therefore was not subject to certain restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act on registered investment companies and by the Internal Revenue Codeof 1986 on regulated investment companies. If the Private Fund had been registered under the 1940 Act, the Private Fund’s performance may have been adversely affected. Furthermore, the fees and expenses of the Private Fund were substantially different from theFund’s fees and expenses. The fees and expenses of the Fund in the tender fund structure differ from the fees and expenses of the interval fund structure.
5 Limited liquidity, the Fund currently expects to offer to repurchase up to 5% of the Fund’s outstanding shares at net asset value, reduced by any applicable repurchase fee, subject to the approval of the Fund’s board of trustees.

IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES

The materials are intended for informational purposes only and are subject to change. This is not provided as investment advice or a recommendation to you. Such an offer to sell or solicitation to buy an interest in the Fund may be made only by the delivery of the Fund’s prospectus. In the event that these materials and the prospectus are in conflict, the prospectus terms shall control. Please review the prospectus fully and consult with your legal, financial, and tax counsel, as appropriate. Any product or service referred to herein may not be suitable for all persons.

Past performance is no guarantee of future returns. The Fund’s performance can be volatile, and the investment involves a high degree of risk.

Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses carefully before investing. Investors should read the prospectus and summary of additional information carefully with this and other information about the Fund. For additional information, please call 888-267-1456 or email InvestorRelations@forumcapadvisors.com.

Investing in the Fund involves risks, including the risk that an investor may receive little or no return on his, her or its investment or that an investor may lose part or all of such investment. Therefore, investors should consider carefully the following principal risks before investing in the Fund. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its performance or investment objectives or achieve any target distribution yield. Shareholders may lose some or all of their invested capital, and prospective investors should not purchase the Fund’s shares unless they can readily bear the consequence of such loss. Limited liquidity is provided to shareholders only through the Fund’s quarterly repurchase offers. There is no guarantee that shareholders will be able to sell all of the shares they desire in a quarterly repurchase offer. The Fund’s investments are also subject to liquidity risk. Funds with principal investment strategies that involve securities with substantial credit risk tend to have a relatively higher exposure to liquidity risk.

As a non-diversified investment company, the Fund may invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of one or more issuers. The Fund may therefore be more susceptible than a diversified fund to being adversely affected by events impacting a single borrower, geographic location, security, or investment type. The Fund’s investments in real estate debt are expected to be secured by commercial real estate assets. The Fund’s concentration in the real estate sector may increase the volatility of the Fund’s returns and may also expose the Fund to the risk of economic downturns in this sector to a greater extent than if its portfolio also included investments in other sectors. Further, there is no limit regarding the amount of Fund assets that may be invested in any single geographic area within the United States. To the extent the Fund concentrates its investments in a limited number of assets or geographic areas, the Fund will be subject to certain risks relating to concentrated investments.

Commercial real estate debt instruments (e.g., mortgages, mezzanine loans and preferred equity) that are secured by commercial property are subject to risks of delinquency and foreclosure and risks of loss that are greater than similar risks associated with loans made on the security of single-family residential properties. The Fund expects to invest a portion of its assets in pools or tranches of commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS)*. In a rising interest rate environment, the value of CMBS may be adversely affected when payments on underlying mortgages do not occur as anticipated, resulting in the extension of the security’s effective maturity and the related increase in interest rate sensitivity of a longer-term instrument. Subordinate CMBS are also subject to greater credit risk than those CMBS that are more highly rated. Mortgage loans on commercial properties generally lack standardized terms, which may complicate their structure and increase due diligence costs. Commercial mortgage loans also tend to have shorter maturities than single-family residential mortgage loans and are generally not fully amortizing, which means that they have a significant principal balance or “balloon” payment due on maturity.

Certain transactions the fund utilize may give rise to a form of leverage through either (a) additional market exposure or (b) borrowing capital in an attempt to increase investment return. The use of such transactions includes certain leverage-related risks, including potential for higher volatility, greater decline of the fund’s net asset value and fluctuations of dividends and distributions paid by the fund.
