Overview
The company operates a specialized investment fund focusing on the real estate sector, primarily within the United States. The fund's strategy centers on allocating a significant portion of its assets, at least 80%, to securities that are components of a specific underlying index related to residential apartments, manufactured homes, healthcare facilities, and self-storage sectors. These sectors are recognized for their potential in offering stable returns due to their essential nature and demand elasticity in the U.S. equity market. To enhance its portfolio and manage risk, the fund is permitted to invest up to 20% of its assets in derivatives such as futures, options, and swap contracts, as well as maintaining liquidity through cash and cash equivalents. This approach allows the fund to potentially hedge against market volatility and seek additional gains or protections beyond the direct holdings in real estate assets. It is important to note that the fund is non-diversified, meaning it may invest more of its assets in fewer issuers than a diversified fund.
