© 2024 Morningstar. All Rights Reserved. The information contained herein: (1) is proprietary to Morningstar and/or its content providers; (2) may not be copied or distributed; and (3) is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. Neither Morningstar nor its content providers are responsible for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

The Morningstar Rating™ for funds or “star rating”, is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product’s monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The Morningstar Rating does not include any adjustment for sales loads. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics.

Morningstar Rating is for the I share class only; other classes may have different performance characteristics.

Latest Perspectives

Q1 2024 Global Real Estate Commentary

Global real estate stocks posted losses in the first quarter of 2024, as multiple exogenous factors weighed on the capital markets (e.g., central banks slowing the pace of monetary policy tightening, the war in Ukraine, China’s muted recovery, the looming risk of a U.S. government shut-down and the growing tension in the Middle East). Notwithstanding this host of geopolitical and macroeconomic concerns, investors instead focused on the prospect of a transition from central bank tightening to easing along with an expectation that a “soft landing” appeared increasingly likely.

Q4 2023 Global Real Estate Commentary

Despite the lingering macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical stress capturing headlines, our outlook for the global real estate market is increasingly constructive. Real estate fundamentals and earnings growth in most property sectors remain healthy amidst an environment characterized by low supply paired with high construction costs.
