DWS RREEF Real Estate Securities Fund

Frequently Asked Questions About RRRAX

What does RRRAX invest in?

The DWS RREEF Real Estate Securities Fund predominantly allocates its capital to equity investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and companies operating within the broader real estate sector. A substantial portion of its holdings—specifically, at least 80% of its net assets, combined with any capital borrowed for investment purposes (as measured at the time of acquisition)—is committed to these particular security types. While primarily focused on real estate, the fund retains the flexibility to invest a segment of its portfolio in other kinds of securities. These supplementary investments might encompass short-term instruments, various debt obligations like bonds and notes, and even equity shares of companies whose core business is not principally within the real estate industry. It is important to note that this fund is classified as non-diversified.

RRRAX's YTM is published on the fund's factsheet on the issuer's website. It differs from the trailing-12-month yield because YTM reflects current bond prices rather than historical income paid.
