While the fund's management anticipates a predominant focus on equity Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), it retains the flexibility to allocate capital across all three types of REITs. Up to 15% of the fund's entire portfolio may be invested in equity securities issued by non-U.S. companies and denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
