Investment objective & strategy
As of April 29, 2025 · prospectusObjective. The Real Estate Fund (the Fund) seeks to provide capital appreciation by investing in companies that are involved in the real estate industry, including real estate investment trusts (REITs) (collectively, Real Estate Companies).
Strategy. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests substantially all (at least 80%) of its net assets in equity securities of Real Estate Companies that are traded in the United States and in derivatives, which primarily consist of futures contracts and options on securities, futures contracts, and stock indices. The Advisor employs a proprietary quantitative and qualitative methodology to identify Real Estate Companies in which to invest. The methodology utilizes screens based on price, liquidity, and tradability. The securities are then weighted using a proprietary modified capitalization weighting methodology. The portfolio may be further adjusted to comply with regulatory investment limitations or as determined appropriate by the Advisor.

The Advisor employs a proprietary quantitative and qualitative methodology to identify Real Estate Companies in which to invest. The methodology utilizes screens based on price, liquidity, and tradability. The securities are then weighted using a proprietary modified capitalization weighting methodology. The portfolio may be further adjusted to comply with regulatory investment limitations or as determined appropriate by the Advisor. The Fund may invest to a significant extent in the securities of Real Estate Companies that have small to mid-sized capitalizations. Real Estate Companies, which also include master limited partnerships, are primarily engaged in the ownership, construction, management, financing or sale of residential, commercial or industrial real estate. Real Estate Companies also may include companies whose products and services are related to the real estate industry, such as building supply manufacturers, mortgage lenders, or mortgage servicing companies, as well as companies that are significantly involved in multiple industries, including the real estate industry. The Fund also may purchase American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) to gain exposure to foreign Real Estate Companies and U.S. government securities. Investments in derivative instruments, such as futures and options, have the economic effect of creating financial leverage in the Funds portfolio because such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount the Fund has invested in those instruments. Financial leverage will magnify, sometimes significantly, the Funds exposure to any increase or decrease in prices associated with a particular reference asset resulting in increased volatility in the value of the Funds portfolio. The value of the Funds portfolio is likely to experience greater volatility over short-term periods. While such financial leverage has the potential to produce greater gains, it also may result in greater losses, which in some cases may cause the Fund to liquidate other portfolio investments at a loss to comply with limits on leverage imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940, satisfy margin or collateral requirements, or meet redemption requests. In an effort to ensure that the Fund is fully invested on a day-to-day basis, the Fund may conduct any necessary trading activity at or just prior to the close of the U.S. financial markets. As of March 31, 2025, the Fund has significant exposure to the Real Estate Sector, as that sector is defined by the Global Industry Classification Standard, a widely recognized industry classification methodology developed by MSCI, Inc. and Standard & Poors Financial Services LLC. Also, as of March 31, 2025, the Funds investments are concentrated (i.e., more than 25% of its assets) in securities issued by companies in the Specialized REITs Industry, a separate industry within the Real Estate Sector.
