About DAREX
Dunham Real Estate Stock Fund Class A is a mutual fund focused on delivering total return through both capital appreciation and dividends, primarily by investing in income-producing equity securities of real estate companies. The fund typically allocates at least 80% of its assets to real estate-related equities, including real estate investment trusts (REITs), and can invest in companies with significant exposure to real estate operations, development, or ownership. Its portfolio generally emphasizes U.S. companies but may also include firms from international and emerging markets.
As a non-diversified fund, Dunham Real Estate Stock Fund Class A has the flexibility to concentrate assets in select issuers, potentially resulting in higher risk and return characteristics compared to more diversified funds. The fund's holdings span various segments of the real estate sector, such as infrastructure, commercial property, industrial assets, and specialized REITs. Top holdings commonly include major real estate and infrastructure players. This fund plays a specialized role in the financial markets by granting investors exposure to the real estate sector, aiming to outperform direct real estate ownership over the long term with comparatively lower risk, while providing periodic income through dividend distributions.
