INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
A global equity fund that seeks to provide investors total returns – both capital appreciation and current income – associated with global real estate growth and development. The fund invests in a variety of publicly listed securities that derive the majority of their revenues through real estate and real estate-related activities.
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return through a combination of capital appreciation and current income.
The Fund pursues its objective by investing primarily in securities of companies located in the US or anywhere in the world engaged in or related to the property industry, or which own significant property assets. This may include investments in companies involved in the real estate business or property development, domiciled either inside or outside of the US, including REITs and issuers whose businesses, assets, products or services are related to the real estate sector. This may also include small capitalisation stocks. Small capitalisation stocks are defined as those whose market capitalisation, at the time of initial purchase, is less than the 12-month average of the maximum market capitalisation for the companies included in the Russell 2000 Index®. No more than 10% of the net asset value of the Fund may be invested in securities traded on any one developing market and the aggregate amount of the Fund which may be invested in securities traded on developing markets shall not exceed 20% of the net asset value of the Fund.
