This fund may be a good choice if you are comfortable with a concentrated investment in real estate and want to tap the international markets. Due to the fund’s focus on real estate, it has a high risk profile and may be appropriate for investors with a long-term horizon. It is appropriate for both regular and retirement accounts.

As you would expect, the risks of the fund’s concentrated investment strategy are substantially greater than those of a more diversified approach. Changes in tax or zoning laws, overbuilding, environmental issues, changes in interest rates, the quality of property management in the case of REITs, and other factors could hurt the fund. Real estate is also affected by general economic conditions. When growth is slowing, demand for property decreases and prices may decline. Rising interest rates, which drive up mortgage and financing costs, can restrain construction and buying and selling activity, and may reduce the appeal of real estate investments. Also, since the fund can invest substantially in foreign securities, it will also be subject to the risks inherent in non-U.S. issues.
*Funds are placed in general risk/return categories based on their past performance or, for newer funds, the performance of the types of securities in which they invest. There is no assurance past trends will continue.
