The Fund offers exposure to the REIT market utilizing a quality and relative value style with a fundamental security analysis approach designed to identify the most attractive investment candidates. The Fund's tends to favor REITs that own higher quality assets, have strong management teams, and which offer attractive relative value. and generally, shuns deep value stocks that own lower quality assets or expensive, high-growth, momentum stocks. Duff & Phelps believes the value of a REIT extends beyond the value of the underlying real estate and that through fundamental research, it can uncover and exploit inefficiencies in the market. The real estate securities in which the Fund primarily invest include equity interests, preferred securities or debt obligations issued by REIT. The broad real estate industry includes owner/operators of commercial real estate as well as land developers, homebuilders and timberland companies. Duff & Phelps focuses its investment efforts on owner/operators of commercial real estate as those companies have historically generated more consistent, reliable cash flows than the more speculative areas of the sector. |
