Brookfield Real Assets Income Fund Inc.

This Proxy Statement is furnished to the holders of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Shares”), of Brookfield Real Assets Income Fund Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Fund”), to solicit proxies to be exercised at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Meeting”) of the Fund to be held on Thursday, May 21, 2026 at 8:30 a.m., Eastern Time (and at any adjournment or postponements thereof) for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. This Proxy Statement and the accompanying form of proxy is first being sent to stockholders on or about April 13, 2026.

The Meeting will be held solely on the internet by virtual means. You will not be able to attend the Meeting in person.

The persons named as proxy holders on the proxy card will vote in accordance with your instructions and, unless specified to the contrary, will vote “FOR” the election of the Class I Director nominees. The close of business on April 10, 2026, has been fixed as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting. Each outstanding full share of common stock of the Fund is entitled to one vote for as many individuals as there are directors to be elected at the Meeting. Votes may not be cumulated. At the close of business on the Record Date, the Fund had 55,254,696 Shares outstanding.

Under the Bylaws of the Fund, the presence in person or by proxy of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast constitutes a quorum. In the event that a quorum is not present at the Meeting or otherwise, the chairperson of the Meeting has the power to adjourn the Meeting from time to time, to a date not more than 120 days after the Record Date without notice other than announcement at the Meeting.

For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for transacting business at the Meeting, an abstention is always counted as present and entitled to vote because presence (either in person or by proxy) and entitlement to vote are necessary to the act of abstaining. With respect to the counting of votes, an abstention is not a vote cast. If the vote required is a majority or other percentage of all the votes entitled to be cast, the effect of an abstention will be the same as a vote against the proposal. “Broker non-votes” (i.e., proxies from brokers or nominees indicating that such persons have not received instructions from the beneficial owner or other persons entitled to vote Shares on a particular matter with respect to which the brokers or nominees do not have discretionary power), if any, will be treated as Shares that are present for quorum purposes but not “entitled to vote.” A broker non-vote is a vote that is not cast on a non-routine matter by a broker that is present (either in person or by proxy) at a meeting at which there is at least one routine matter on the proxy card (otherwise the broker does not have the authority to vote on anything and does not ordinarily send in a proxy). If the broker votes on a routine matter but does not vote on a non-routine item on the proxy, then the Shares held in “street name” (that is, through a broker, bank or other nominee) are present for quorum purposes and the effect of not voting on the non-routine matter depends upon whether the vote requirement for that proposal is based upon a proportion of the votes cast (no effect) or a proportion of the votes entitled to be cast (effect of a vote against). Proposal 1 is a routine matter. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes “AGAINST” Proposal 1. Since banks and brokers will have discretionary authority to vote Shares in the absence of voting instructions from stockholders with respect to Proposal 1, we expect that there will be no broker non-votes with respect to Proposal 1.

Stockholders who execute proxies retain the right to revoke them by: (a) written notice received by the Secretary of the Fund at any time before that proxy is exercised; (b) signing a proxy bearing a later date; or (c) attending the Meeting and voting in person (attendance at the Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a properly executed proxy). If you hold your Shares in “street name,” you should instruct your broker or nominee how to vote your Shares by following the voting instructions provided by your broker or nominee.

In order to participate in and vote your Shares at the Meeting, stockholders as of the Record Date need to register for the Meeting.

If you are a registered holder, and wish to attend and vote at the Meeting, you must:

• Send an email including your full name and address to the Fund’s proxy solicitor, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (“Equiniti”), at attendameeting@equiniti.com with “Brookfield Real Assets Income Fund Inc. virtual meeting” in the subject line. After receiving this information, Equiniti will then email you the virtual meeting access information and instructions for voting during the Meeting. You will need the control number found on your proxy card as part of the registration process.

If your Shares are registered in the name of your broker, bank, or other nominee, you are the “beneficial owner” of those Shares and those Shares are considered as held in “street name.” If you hold your Shares in “street name” and wish to attend and vote at the Meeting, you must:

• Obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee reflecting the Fund’s name, the number of Shares you held as of the Record Date, as well as your name and address.

If you wish to vote your Shares electronically at the Meeting, please follow the instructions provided by Equiniti in its confirmation email. On the day of the Meeting, we encourage you to access the Meeting prior to start time leaving ample time to check in.
