Performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Returns are historical and include change in share price and reinvestment of all distributions.

Periods greater than 12 months are annualized. Returns are historical and include change in share price and reinvestment of all distributions. The quarterly performance quoted does not reflect the deduction of the 2% fee charged on certain redemptions or exchanges within 60 days of purchase; if it did, performance would be lower.

Please consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the fund carefully before investing. A prospectus containing this and other information may be obtained by calling 1-800-330-7348 or clicking here. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.


The NAREIT Equity Index is an unmanaged, market capitalization weighted index of all publicly traded Equity REITs that have 75% or more of their gross invested book assets invested directly or indirectly in the equity ownership of real estate. The S&P 500 is an unmanaged index of 500 large capitalization companies representing a variety of industries. You cannot invest directly in an Index and Index performance does not reflect the deduction of any fees or expenses. Because of its concentration in real estate securities, the Fund is subject to special risk considerations described in the Fund's prospectus, which is available on this website.
