The Real Estate Securities Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity investments in issuers related to the real estate industry, including REITs. The value of a REIT is affected by changes in the value of the properties owned by the REIT or securing mortgage loans held by the REIT. REITs and real estate companies are also subject to risks generally associated with investments in real estate including possible declines in the value of real estate, general and local economic conditions, environmental problems and changes in interest rates.

The Fund is subject to greater risk of loss as a result of adverse economic, business or other developments than if its investments were diversified across different industry sectors. Securities of issuers held by the Fund may lack sufficient market liquidity to enable the Fund to sell the securities at an advantageous time or without a substantial drop in price. Because the Fund invests in issuers related to the real estate industry, its net asset value may fluctuate substantially overtime and its performance may be substantially different from the returns of the broader stock market.

The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which may be more volatile and less liquid than investment in U.S. securities and will be subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and sudden economic or political developments. At times, the Fund may be unable to sell certain of its portfolio securities without a substantial drop in price, if at all.

The Fund may participate in the Initial Public Offering (IPO) market, and a portion of the Fund’s returns consequently may be attributable to its investment in IPOs. The market value of IPO shares may fluctuate considerably due to factors such as the absence of a prior public market, unseasoned trading, and the small number of shares available for trading and limited information about the issuer. When a fund’s asset base is small, IPOs may have a magnified impact on the fund’s performance. As a fund’s assets grow, it is probable that the effect of the fund’s investment in IPOs on its total returns may not be as significant, which could reduce the fund’s performance.

Holdings and allocations shown are unaudited, and may not be representative of current or future investments. Holdings and allocations may not include the Fund’s entire investment portfolio, which may change at any time. Fund holdings should not be relied on in making investment decisions and should not be construed as research or investment advice regarding particular securities.

The Net Asset Value (NAV) is the market value of one share of the Fund.

The Fund’s since inception performance begins at $10,000, assumes reinvestment of dividends and does not reflect sales charges.

Percentages may not sum to 100% due to rounding.

The Price to Earnings figure represents the Price to Funds From Operations (“FFO”) of the Fund. FFO is the most commonly accepted and reported measure of REIT operating performance and is equal to a REIT’s net income, excluding gains or losses from sales of property, and adding back real estate depreciation.

Correlation Measure - R-squared: Measures how closely the historical movement of a portfolio’s returns relates to a particular market index over a specified time period. Risk Measures - Standard Deviation: Measures the historical total risk of a portfolio by assessing the probable range within which a portfolio’s return could deviate from its average return over a defined historical period of time. Beta: Measures the historical market risk of a portoflio or the volatility of a portfolio relative to an underlying index over a defined historical period of time. Risk-Adjusted-Return Measure - Alpha: Measures how a portfolio has historically performed against its expected returns based on the beta figure.

The Dow Jones Wilshire Real Estate Securities Index is an unmanaged index of publicly traded REITs and real estate operating companies. The Index figures do not include any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an unmanaged index.
