Its portfolio primarily comprises U.S. real estate securities, yet it maintains the flexibility to capitalize on compelling international real estate opportunities. Building upon the success of our flagship REIT mutual funds, BYRE stands apart with a deliberate focus on higher tracking error and elevated income objectives.
