Adelante U.S. Real Estate Securities Fund

 

Investment Objective

The Fund's objective is total return from a combination of dividend income and long-term growth. The Fund's investment objective may be changed without shareholder approval.


Principal Investment Strategy
The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing at least 85% of its assets in equity securities of companies principally engaged in the U.S. real estate industry. The Fund will provide shareholders 60 days' notice prior to any change to this policy.


Principal Risks

The principal risks of investing in the Fund are risks generally associated with investing in stocks and risks specific to investing in the real estate industry. Real estate investing involves special risks, including interest rate fluctuation, credit risk, liquidity risk and the impact of varied economic conditions on real estate values and occupancy rates. Some real estate securities, including REITs, have limited diversification and are, therefore, subject to risks inherent in operating and financing a limited number of projects, including greater market fluctuations.
