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.

  • Investment universe includes approximately 200 U.S. and 200 non-U.S companies 
  • 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

Fund Specific Risks

Salient Global Real Estate Fund

RISKS

There are risks involved with investing, including loss of principal. Past performance does not guarantee future results, share prices will fluctuate and you may have a gain or loss when you redeem shares.

Borrowing for investment purposes creates leverage, which can increase the risk and volatility of a fund.

Concentration in a particular industry will involve a greater degree of risk than a more diversified portfolio.

Debt securities are subject to interest rate risk. If interest rates increase, the value of debt securities generally declines. Debt securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates and more volatile than securities with shorter durations.

Derivative instruments involve risks different from those associated with investing directly in securities and may cause, among other things, increased volatility and transaction costs or a fund to lose more than the amount invested.

Investing in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) will subject a fund to substantially the same risks as those associated with the direct ownership of the securities or other property held by the ETFs.

Foreign securities, especially emerging or frontier markets, will involve additional risks including exchange rate fluctuations, social and political instability, less liquidity, greater volatility and less regulation.

Mortgage and asset-backed securities are debt instruments that are secured by interests in pools of mortgage loans or other financial instruments. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to, among other things, prepayment and extension risks.

Investing in the real estate industry or in real estate-related securities involves the risks associated with direct ownership of real estate which include, among other things, changes in economic conditions (e.g., interest rates), the macro real estate development market, government intervention (e.g., property taxes) or environmental disasters. These risks may also affect the value of equities that service the real estate sector.

Investing in smaller companies generally will present greater investment risks, including greater price volatility, greater sensitivity to changing economic conditions and less liquidity than investing in larger, more mature companies.
