Frequently Asked Questions About PRRSX

What does PRRSX invest in?

The fund strives to meet its financial goals primarily through investments in derivative instruments that track real estate performance. These real estate-linked positions are underpinned by a diverse portfolio of fixed income assets, notably including inflation-indexed securities. The fund's definition of "Fixed Income Instruments" is broad, covering bonds, debt securities, and similar financial tools issued by a wide array of public and private sector entities, operating both within and outside the United States. While up to 30% of the fund's total assets can be held in securities denominated in foreign currencies, it has greater latitude to invest in U.S. dollar-denominated instruments issued by international entities, potentially exceeding that 30% threshold for such holdings.
