Investment Objective
The fund seeks to obtain a favorable long-term total return through both capital appreciation and current income, by investing primarily in equity and fixed-income securities of companies principally engaged in or related to the real estate industry.
Portfolio Strategy
The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in the equity and fixed-income securities of companies that are principally engaged in or related to the real estate industry ("real estate securities"), including those that own significant real estate assets, such as real estate investment trusts ("REITs"). The fund does not invest directly in real estate. The fund concentrates its investments in the real estate industry. The fund is actively managed using a research-oriented process with a focus on cash flows, asset values and our belief of management's ability to increase shareholder value.
