U.S. Real Estate Securities employs both top-down and bottom-up components and is comprised of equity securities issued by real estate investment trusts (REITs) and companies engaged in the real estate industry.

We believe:

  • Economic, property sector and fundamental security factors are important forces in determining REIT security pricing.
  • Continuous access to information can create a sustainable competitive advantage.
  • Successful public real estate investment requires intensive real estate and securities analysis.
  • Dynamic market environment demands a flexible investment process.
