BEFORE YOU INVEST

Before considering an investment in the Fund, you should understand that you could lose money.


Investments in REITs involve risks associated with direct ownership of real estate, including decline in property values, extended vacancies, increases in property taxes and changes in interest rates. Investments in the real estate sector have many of the same risks as direct ownership of real estate, including the risk that the value of real estate could decline due to a variety of factors that affect the real estate market generally.


Small and mid-cap stocks are often more volatile than large-cap stocks.  Smaller companies generally face higher risks due to their limited product lines, markets and financial markets.


Because the Fund concentrates its investments in securities issued by companies principally engaged in the real estate industry, the Fund may be subject to greater risks and market fluctuations than a fund whose portfolio has exposure to a broader range of industries.  

Other risks of the fund include: Private Placement and Restricted Securities Risk. Convertible Securities Risk and Initial Public Offering Risk.


MSCI U.S. REIT Index is a free float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index that is comprised of equity REITS that are included in the MSCI U.S. Investable Market 2500 Index (with the exception of specialty equity REITS) that do not generate majority of their revenue and income from real estate rental and leasing obligations. The index represents approximately 85% of the U.S. REIT universe.


An investment cannot be made directly into an index. 


Price to FFO is the REIT equivalent of a security’s Price-to-Earnings ratio and is used to measure operating performance, which encompasses a REIT’s net income, excluding gains or losses from sales of property, and adding back real estate depreciation.


Alpha measures a fund's risk-adjusted performance and is expressed as an annualized percentage.


Beta is a measure of historical volatility relative to an appropriate index (benchmark) based on its investment objective. A beta greater than 1.00 indicates volatility greater than the benchmark's. 


R-Squared measures the percentage of a fund's movements that result from movements in the index.


Sharpe Ratio shown is calculated for the past 36-month period by dividing annualized excess returns by annualized standard deviation.


Information Ratio measures the returns above the returns of a benchmark to the volatility of those returns. 


Tracking Error measures the difference between the return fluctuations of a portfolio and the benchmark. 


Annual Turnover Rate is as of the most recent annual shareholder report.

The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or "star rating", is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance (this does not include the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees). The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods.
