Item 1. Security and Issuer

         This statement on Schedule 13D relates to shares of common stock of AEW Real Estate Income Fund (Issuer). The principle executive office of the issuer is located at 399 Boylston Street, Boston, MA 02116.


Item 2. Identity and Background.


(a)

Name:  Stevenson Capital Management, Inc.


(b)

Residence or business address:  19925 Stevens Creek Blvd
Cupertino, CA 95014


(c)

Present Principal Occupation or Employment:  The principal business of Stevenson Capital Management is that of a registered investment advisor.


(d)

(e)

Court or Administrative Proceedings:  None of the reporting persons has, during the last 5 years, been a party to a civil proceeding or judicial body, or subject to a judgment or a decree enjoining future violations, or mandates.


(f)

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration:

         Purchased on behalf of clients 361,900 shares reported herein by the reporting persons were acquired at an aggregate price of approximately 18.19 (including commissions) using its investment capital in the ordinary course of business.


Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

         Stevenson Capital Management Inc.(SCM) bought RIF to own the underlying asset category and to take advantage of the issuer's expertise in the asset category. Also, the discount to NAV (with its potential to be reduced or eliminated) was an attraction of the transaction. SCM, Inc. intends to continue buying the security as long as it trades at a substantial discount to NAV. If the discount persists SCM, Inc. will urge management to take whatever steps are necessary to reduce or eliminate the discount to NAV. This would include liquidating, open ending or any other step that would benefit shareholders. If a change in the present board would be necessary, SCM, Inc. would propose such a change. Selling securities to eliminate the leverage and pay capital gain distributions would benefit shareholders and will be recommended. A tender offer of a certain percentage of shares at NAV on a regular basis would be a proposal that SCM, Inc. may make. SCM, Inc. realizes that some of its proposals would require a vote under section 13 of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
