outstanding loans has decreased to 4.3% as of September 30, 2015. We have no debt maturities until October 2016, giving us a portfolio-wide weighted average remaining loan term of 6.5 years. Generally, using moderate leverage is a strategic way to extend our investment capacity and further diversify our portfolio. We plan on maintaining the 30-50% Company leverage ratio range, which should ensure our balance sheet is healthy while allowing us to take advantage of the current low interest rate environment. Acquisition Activity Occupancy Enhancing the operational performance of our properties continues to be one of the key priorities of our asset management team. At quarter end, our total portfolio occupancy was stable at 97% at the end of the quarter. Looking at each operating segment, which we define as our primary property types, our apartment occupancy remained 2 Quarterly Report | September 30, 2015 Distributions On February 6, May 1, August 7 and November 6 we paid gross distributions of $0.12 per share related to the fourth quarter of 2014 and first, second and third quarters of 2015. Our current quarterly distribution provides an annualized distribution to our stockholders of 48 cents per share. On November 5, 2015, our board of directors approved a gross distribution for the fourth quarter of 2015 of $0.12 per share to stockholders of record as of December 30, 2015, payable on or around February 5, 2016. Gross distributions will be reduced by share class-specific fees. Share Value The NAV per share of our Class M, Class A, Class M-I and Class A-I shares as of September 30 was between $11.08 and $11.11 per share. We generally see an upward trend in our NAV throughout the quarter as we accrue our portfolio income, and then we see a comparable reduction in our NAV for the accrual of that dividend payment once we reach our record date. Our property investment portfolio is externally appraised by our independent valuation advisor, Real Estate Research Corporation. Our daily share values are posted on our website (www.jllipt.com) and are available via our stockholder services customer support line at 855.652.0277. Investment Returns The combination of share appreciation and distributions for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 generated a net total return of 4.01% and 3.86% for Class M and A shares, respectively. The total return was comprised of a cash return of 1.01% and 0.86% and an appreciation return of 2.97% and 2.97% for Class M and Class A shares, respectively. PORTFOLIO UPDATE In the third quarter we continued to add value to our portfolio through active asset management. Particularly noteworthy accomplishments include closing on three new acquisitions, declaring our sixteenth consecutive quarterly dividend and executing a lease extension with a major office tenant. Leasing Activity During September we signed Amazon to an expansion and extension of their lease at Monument IV at Worldgate. The lease amendment increases their occupancy in the building by approximately 83,000 square feet and keeps Monument IV 100% leased through 2027. Our weighted average lease duration at September 30, 2015 was 6.8 years, a slight increase compared to the prior quarter. The acquisition of Whitestone Market, located near Austin, TX, increased our portfolio’s weighted average lease duration. This retail property has an average remaining lease term of approximately 14 years with limited near term roll. Financing Activity We ended the quarter at a new record low Company loan-to- value ratio of 36%.

3 stable at 95% this quarter. We experienced strong leasing results at two of our student housing properties. Campus Lodge Tampa and The Edge at Lafayette increased occupancy by 8% and 4%, respectively, compared to the prior year. Our industrial occupancy decreased slightly to 99% this quarter, due to the acquisition of O’Hare Industrial Portfolio which is 92% leased. Our overall office occupancy remained steady at 93%. Our retail occupancy was stable at 97% this quarter, in line with the prior year. In all cases, our segment occupancies compare well with national averages of 96% for apartments, 94% for industrial, 87% for office and 94% for retail. Disposition Strategy We had no dispositions in the third quarter and we anticipate holding most of our properties for an extended period. We may determine to sell a property before the end of its anticipated hold period due to changes in market conditions. We continually monitor each investment within the portfolio and the overall portfolio composition for appropriateness in meeting our investment objectives. Outlook Investment performance is the most relevant measure of success for an investment manager; however, an investment manager’s success in attracting capital is a critical barometer of the market’s receptivity to and confidence in a manager’s offerings. Since 2012 investors and their financial advisors have chosen to allocate approximately $650 million to JLL Income Property Trust – an endorsement that is both energizing and humbling. In keeping with the investment objectives we outlined for investors three years ago we have deployed that capital across three principal strategies: first, acquiring new properties to grow and diversify our portfolio; second, repaying or refinancing debt to reduce our leverage and financing costs and to extend our debt maturities; and third, repurchasing our shares from stockholders who desire to invest elsewhere. In the last three years we’ve acquired 25 new properties, investing approximately $630 million and growing our initial portfolio from 33 properties to a far more diversified portfolio of 37 properties. We also repaid or refinanced over $240 million in higher interest rate and loan-to-value mortgages and at a company level reduced our overall leverage ratio from 69% to its current record low level of 36%. And pertaining to our third priority, we have repurchased more than $130 million of our shares, returning capital to stockholders who desired liquidity or chose to reduce their allocations to core real estate. We also disposed of 21 properties for an excess of $300 million – all closing within a very narrow range of 1% of their most recent independently determined valuations – which we believe should provide investors with confidence in our appraisal-based, daily determined NAV. We now own 37 different properties in our portfolio, comprised of 18 industrial warehouses, 6 grocery anchored retail centers, 6 office buildings, 5 apartment complexes and 2 parking garages. We declared our sixteenth consecutive quarterly dividend to our stockholders beginning with the first quarter 2012. We continue to offer to our investors stable dividend payments fully covered by cash flow from operations and at one of the highest dividend coverage ratios in the non-listed REIT industry. Offering an attractive level of current income for distribution to our stockholders is one of our primary investment objectives. Lastly, we remain the preferred daily NAV core real estate offering in the marketplace, attracting nearly as much capital as all of our competitors combined. We have also significantly expanded our distribution partnerships, which now span ten different wealth management platforms representing wirehouses, private trust banks, RIAs and major national independent broker dealers.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results The Company is advised by LaSalle Investment Management, Inc. (“LaSalle”). Notes The returns shown in this document are intended to represent investment results for the Company for the period stated and are not predictive of future results. The returns have been prepared using unaudited data and valuations of the underlying investments in the Company’s portfolio, which are done or reviewed by our independent valuation advisor. Valuations based upon unaudited or estimated reports from the underlying investments may be subject to later adjustments or revisions. The returns are net of all management fees (e.g. the Fixed and Variable Management Fee) and Company expenses (e.g. administration, organization, legal and accounting fees, and transaction expenses) and include capital gains and other earnings. Strategies undertaken by the Company are not intended to track any index and information on indices is provided for illustrative purposes only. Nothing herein should be construed as a solicitation of clients, or as an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to invest in the Company. Such investments may be offered only pursuant to an offering memorandum. Certain information herein has been obtained from public and third party sources and, although believed to be reliable, has not been independently verified and its accuracy, completeness or fairness cannot be guaranteed. Important Risk Disclosure Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) involve a significant degree of risk and should be regarded as speculative. They are only made available to qualified investors under the terms of the offering memorandum. The securities of issuers that are principally engaged in the real estate sector may be subject to risks similar to those associated with the direct ownership of real estate. These include: declines in real estate values, defaults by mortgagors or other borrowers and tenants, increases in property taxes and operating expenses, overbuilding, fluctuations in rental income, changes in interest rates, possible lack of availability of mortgage funds or financing, extended vacancies of properties, changes in tax and regulatory requirements (including zoning laws and environmental restrictions), losses due to costs resulting from the clean-up of environmental problems, liability to third parties for damages resulting from environmental problems, and casualty or condemnation losses. In addition, the performance of the local economy in each of the regions in which real estate is located affects occupancy, market rental rates and expenses and, consequently, has an impact on the income from such properties and their underlying values. No investment strategy or risk management technique can guarantee return or eliminate risk in any market environment. Holdings may be highly leveraged and, therefore, more sensitive to adverse business or financial developments. These investments are long-term and unlikely to produce realized income for investors for a number of years. Interests in these investments are not transferable. The holding may be illiquid—very thinly traded or assets for which no market exists. These investments may use leverage, which even on a short-term basis can magnify increases or decreases in the value of the investment. The business of identifying these investment opportunities is competitive. In addition, high fees and expenses may offset the Company’s profits. For complete disclosure of risks related to the Company, please see our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, also filed with the SEC.
