Strategy. Under normal market conditions, the Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets (net assets plus the amount of any borrowings made for investment purposes) in equity securities issued by real estate companies operating in the United States, including real estate investment trusts (REITs). Real estate equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, other equity securities issued by real estate companies, including REITs and similar REIT-like entities. A real estate company is one that (i) derives at least 50% of its revenue from the ownership, construction, financing, management or sale of commercial, industrial or residential real estate and land; or (ii) has at least 50% of its assets invested in real estate.

A real estate company is one that (i) derives at least 50% of its revenue from the ownership, construction, financing, management or sale of commercial, industrial or residential real estate and land; or (ii) has at least 50% of its assets invested in real estate. REITs are companies that own interests in real estate or in real estate related loans or other interests, and their revenue primarily consists of rent derived from owned, income producing real estate properties and capital gains from the sale of such properties. The Fund may invest without limit in shares of REITs. A REIT in the U.S. is generally not taxed on income distributed to shareholders so long as it meets certain tax related requirements, including the requirement that it distribute substantially all of its taxable income to such shareholders (other than net capital gains for each taxable year). REIT-like entities are organized outside of the U.S. and have operations and receive tax treatment in their respective countries similar to that of U.S. REITs. The Fund may invest in real estate companies of any market capitalization. Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc., the Funds sub-adviser (Sub-Adviser) uses a bottom-up strategy, relative value investment process when selecting publicly traded real estate securities. To guide the portfolio construction process, the Sub-Adviser uses a proprietary valuation model that quantifies relative valuation of real estate securities based on price-to-net asset value (NAV), cash flow multiple/growth ratios, and a dividend discount model (DDM). The Sub-Adviser incorporates both quantitative and qualitative analysis in their NAV, cash flow, growth and DDM estimates. The company research process includes an evaluation of the commercial real estate supply and demand dynamics, management, strategy, property quality, financial strength and corporate structure. Judgments with respect to risk control, geographic and property sector diversification, liquidity and other factors are considered along with the models output and drive the Sub-Advisers investment decisions. The Fund may also invest in securities of foreign issuers that meet the same criteria for investment as domestic companies, including investments in American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), and European Depositary Receipts (EDRs). The Fund has the ability to invest in other investment companies, such as exchange-traded funds, money market funds, unit investment trusts and open-end and closed-end funds, including affiliated investment companies. The Fund is a non-diversified fund, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), and may invest more of its assets in fewer issuers than diversified mutual funds.
