Salient Global Real Estate Fund
Overview
Overview
The fund seeks total return by targeting a globally diversified portfolio of real estate investment trusts (REITs) and real estate companies across sectors and developed economies. The strategy’s bottom-up, value-oriented approach to stock selection emphasizes superior property location and quality, strong prospects for appreciation in property rents and values, and managements teams’ track records for adding value.
Three Things to Know
- The fund seeks global investment opportunities in real estate companies that we believe have clear, enduring investment value in both international and U.S. markets—places that are centers of global trade, learning and innovation as well as magnets for commerce and population growth
- The experienced team, led by Joel Beam, conducts exhaustive property and company analysis in their actively managed investment process, adjusting the portfolio to reflect changing market fundamentals through sector and geographic rotation
- The strategy’s focus on global REITs and real estate operating companies can complement a portfolio’s global equity or domestic-focused real estate holdings
Process
Objective: The fund seeks total return from both capital appreciation and current income.
- The bottom-up, value-oriented investment approach continuously evaluates investment opportunities by reconciling discounted cash flows and net asset values using conservative cap rate and growth assumptions
- Extensive internal research by the investment team leverages a network of trusted third-party knowledge
- The team constructs concentrated portfolios comprised of high-conviction, benchmark-agnostic investments that are prudently underwritten and actively monitored

The performance quoted represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and current performance may be lower or higher than the data quoted. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained on this website. Investment performance reflects fee waivers in effect. In the absence of fee waivers, total return would be lower. Total return is based on NAV, assuming reinvestment of all distributions.
