Objective and strategy
The investment seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation. The fund is an actively managed ETF that seeks to provide exposure to a broad portfolio of sustainable real estate companies. It invests in the securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies with a focus on REITs or other pooled investment vehicles or companies that manage a portfolio of income producing real estate or real estate-related loans and that the advisor considers to be similar to REITs because of the way they are treated by tax authorities or because of the way they are required to conduct their business.
