The in-kind fee owed to the trust’s adviser rose again, offering the clearest available read on an asset base that these disclosures otherwise leave unquantified.

August 6, 2026

Rithm Perpetual Life Residential Trust took in roughly $8.6 million of new equity through its continuous private offering on August 3, a step up from the approximately $7.1 million it placed a month earlier and a sign that subscription flow into the privately placed residential vehicle has picked up rather than plateaued.

The Maryland statutory trust sold 425,765.113 common shares, all of them Class J, for aggregate consideration of $8,619,400 under the Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506 exemptions of Regulation D. Embedded in that total was an upfront selling commission of $34,400 — a smaller absolute load than the trust carried in July, even though it raised more money.

The adviser fee is the real tell

The more informative number sits alongside the raise. On the same day, the trust issued 3,509.10 Class E common shares to Rithm Perpetual Life Residential Investor LLC, an affiliate of adviser RCM GA Manager LLC, settling a monthly management fee of $71,165.20 owed under the advisory agreement dated November 18, 2025. That fee has risen in each of the past three monthly cycles, from just under $56,000 in May. Because the fee accrues against the asset base, its steady climb is the clearest available read on growth at a trust that reports no interim net asset value in these disclosures.

Paying in shares rather than cash also keeps the obligation inside the capital structure, leaving subscription proceeds available for deployment instead of routing them straight back to the manager. A consistent division of labor has emerged between the two live classes:

• Class J absorbs all new cash subscriptions.
• Class E functions as the currency for adviser compensation.

The same split governed the trust’s July activity.

Distribution rate holds at $0.17

Separately, the trust declared its July distributions on July 31 at $0.1700 per share for both Class J and Class E, unchanged from June. Neither class carries an ongoing servicing fee, so gross and net amounts are identical — a reflection of the two circulating classes being the ones without trailing distribution costs. The payout goes to holders of record immediately following the close of business on July 31, scheduled for on or about August 20, in cash or reinvested for shareholders enrolled in the distribution reinvestment plan.

For allocators tracking the newer privately placed residential vehicles, the shape of this is steady accumulation rather than a step-change: monthly subscriptions in the single-digit millions, a flat distribution rate, and a fee base that has grown every month it has been reported. The sponsor behind the trust is Rithm Capital Corp., which also externally manages the listed Rithm Property Trust.
