Nomura Real Estate Securities Fund Class A IRSAX Strategy

The investment seeks to provide total return through capital appreciation and current income. The fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in the securities of companies in the real estate or real estate-related industries (80% policy). The fund’s investment strategy utilizes a three-step bottom-up approach (researching individual issuers) with a strong focus on quality, risk and a valuation-based stock selection methodology, supported by a top-down (assessing the market environment) overlay as a check and a balance.
