The Fund is nondiversified for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, which means that the Fund may hold larger positions in fewer securities than other funds. The Funds subadviser actively manages the Fund using a combination of bottom-up analysis of factors affecting individual securities and top-down analysis of the real estate market. Using multiple valuation metrics, the subadviser seeks to identify issuers evidencing short-term dislocations between stock prices and fundamentals, and ultimately invest at below-market valuations in real estate companies that the subadviser believes will be strong long-term performers. In seeking a diversified exposure to all major real estate sectors, the subadvisers top-down analysis studies macroeconomic, private real estate, industry and regional trends to influence the Funds sector and geographic weightings. The subadviser may sell a security when it believes it has become overvalued or no longer offers an attractive risk/reward profile, relative fundamentals have deteriorated, or to take advantage of other opportunities the subadviser believes to be more attractive. The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities.
