How Many RA Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?
At $1.42 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 4,238 RA shares, about $50,686 at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $11.96. $1,000 a month takes about 8,475 shares, about $101,361. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.
Brookfield Real Assets Income (RA) pays $0.118 a share monthly, $1.42 a year, an 11.84% run-rate yield at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $11.96. It has made 121 distribution payments since 2016.
At today’s rate of $0.118 monthly and the last close of $11.96, this is what RA pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.118 | $0.12 | $1.42 |
| 100 shares | $11.80 | $11.80 | $141.60 |
| $10,000 invested (836.1 shares) | $98.66 | $98.66 | $1,183.95 |
| 4,238 shares ($500/mo) | $500.08 | $500.08 | $6,001.01 |
| 8,475 shares ($1,000/mo) | $1,000.05 | $1,000.05 | $12,000.60 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 RA shares reinvest into 0.99 new shares each payment, about 12.5 new shares a year at today’s price and rate, and each new share collects the next payment too. To DRIP one whole new share every payment you need about 102 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less. See the snowball over 10 to 30 years with RA’s own history in the RA DRIP calculator.
The payout is not the return. In the 12 months to Nov 11, 2026, RA paid $1.42 a share while its share price fell from $13.27 to $11.96. Distributions exceeded total return by $1.31 a share, so part of every payment above was your own money coming back.

RA Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- RA yields 11.84% today, at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $11.96.
- Its own 10-year median is 10.99%, so today’s yield is above its usual level.
Where today ranks in its own history is in the paid report
How it works. Each month-end over the last 10 years gives one yield: the regular payment then, times payments a year, over that day’s close. Specials are left out. 50 means today’s yield sits right at its usual level. A lower score means the yield is below its usual level, so the price is high against the payout. A higher score means the yield is above its usual level. On price alone a payer stays between 15 and 85. Steady raisers get a few points back. It reads the past, not the future.

RA vs Similar Dividend Funds (FLDGX, TBLD...)
Against the 10 dividend funds in Asset Management closest to RA in fund size, RA’s 11.84% run-rate yield is above the group’s middle yield of 4.98%. A higher yield than the group is not a bonus by itself: in income funds it often comes with a faster-falling share price, so read it next to the NAV trend and the rating.
