This fund invests in international real estate stocks including real estate investment trusts—companies that own office buildings, hotels, and other real estate. REITs often perform differently from other stocks and bonds, so this fund may add diversification to a portfolio already made up of stocks and bonds. A key risk is the fund’s narrow scope; since it invests solely within the real estate industry, it may be more volatile than more broadly diversified stock funds. Because it invests in non-U.S. stocks, including those in developed and emerging markets, the fund can be subject to risks unique to international investing, such as currency risk. Investors may wish to consider this fund as a complement to an already diversified stock portfolio.
