Important information

Investments entail risks, the value of investments can go down as well as up and investors should be aware they might not get back the full value invested.

Individual securities mentioned are intended as examples only and are not to be taken as advice nor are they intended as a recommendation to buy or sell any investment or interest.

Investment risks

Real estate investments should be viewed as long-term investments with limited liquidity and are suitable only for investors who can afford to risk the loss of all or substantially all of such investment. Risks of investing in real estate investments include but are not limited to fluctuations in lease occupancy rates and operating expenses, variations in rental schedules, which in turn may be adversely affected by local, state, national or international economic conditions. Such conditions may be impacted by the supply and demand for real estate properties, zoning laws, rent control laws, real property taxes, the availability and costs of financing and environmental laws.

Furthermore, investments in real estate are also impacted by market disruptions caused by regional concerns, political upheaval, sovereign debt crises and uninsured losses (generally from catastrophic events such as earthquakes, floods and wars). Investments in real estate related securities, such as asset-backed or mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment and extension risks.

The manager’s portfolio selection strategy may not be solely based on ESG considerations, and therefore the issuers in which the funds invest may not be considered ESG-focused companies. Integrating ESG considerations into the investment process is not a guarantee that better performance will be achieved.
