Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q2
The Fund seeks to obtain a favorable long-term total return through both capital appreciation and current income, by investing primarily in equity securities of companies principally engaged in or related to the real estate industry.
The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of real estate companies, including REITs that own property, mortgage REITs, homebuilders, real estate brokers, and related businesses such as building-supply manufacturers and mortgage servicers, using an active research process focused on cash flows, asset values, and management quality. The fund may also hold up to 15% in foreign real estate securities and up to 20% in non-real-estate equities and debt. Because the fund concentrates its investments in the real estate industry, performance depends on the selection and weighting of individual securities within that sector.

Portfolio growth profile
How much of the fund’s stock holdings are in fast-growing companies · as of 2026 Q2
Share of the fund’s equity (by value) in companies whose trailing five-year revenue — or net-income — growth ranks in the top 25% of U.S. public companies. Foreign and newly-listed holdings are excluded, so the figure covers only part of the book. From SEC filings — not investment advice. How we measure this.

Return profile
Total return as filed — price change plus distributions reinvested · trailing figures to Apr 2026
| Share class | 1-year | 3-year | 5-year | Vol | Worst fall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| +12.27% | +28.22% | +12.99% | 13.94% | -12.05% | |

| +12.17% | +27.78% | +12.35% | 13.91% | -12.08% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 1.69pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 0.34pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
May 2026 and Jun 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
