  Investment Objective & Strategy  
The investment seeks to provide a high level of income and moderate long-term capital appreciation by tracking the performance of the MSCI US Investable Market Real Estate 25/50 Index.
The advisor attempts to replicate the index by investing all, or substantially all, of its assets in the stocks that make up the index, holding each stock in approximately the same proportion as its weighting in the index. The index measures the performance of publicly traded equity REITs and other real estate-related investments. The index is made up of stocks of large, mid-size, and small U.S. companies within the real estate sector. The fund is non-diversified.
  Morningstar Category: Real Estate
Real estate portfolios invest primarily in real estate investment trusts of various types. REITs are companies that develop and manage real estate properties. There are several different types of REITs, including apartment, factory-outlet, health-care, hotel, industrial, mortgage, office, and shopping center REITs. Some portfolios in this category also invest in real estate operating companies. 
  Investment Risks
Sector Funds: Funds that invest exclusively in one sector or industry involve risks due to the lack of industry diversification and expose the investor to increased industry-specific risks.
Non-Diversified Funds: Funds that invest more of their assets in a single issuer involve additional risks, including share price fluctuations, because of the increased concentration of investments.
