The subadvisers approach to real estate investing is value-oriented based upon real estate fundamentals and assessments of management teams. The subadviser emphasizes both quantitative and qualitative investment analysis, and focuses on valuation relative to a companys underlying real estate assets as well as a companys on-going concern valuation. Through detailed company research that includes regular management visits, property tours and financial analysis, the subadviser analyzes the quality of real estate asset cash flows and sustainability and growth of company dividends. The subadviser also evaluates the companys strategy, managements track record, incentives and ability to create long term shareholder value. Approximately 10% of institutional quality commercial real estate is publicly traded, and the subadviser believes public real estate securities managers need a firm understanding of the other 90%the private real estate marketsto successfully add value. Decisions to sell portfolio securities are based on relative analysis which entails examination of a variety of factors. The decision to sell a security is based on the subadvisers assessment of relative risk adjusted return for the security.
