About DCREX
The Dunham Real Estate Stock Fund is a diversified mutual fund focused on maximizing total return through a combination of capital appreciation and dividend income. Managed by specialists at American Assets Capital Advisers, LLC, the fund primarily invests in publicly traded securities related to the real estate sector, including Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), real estate operating companies, and firms involved in lodging, gaming, housing, land development, and real estate services. Its central objective is to provide long-term returns that outpace those of direct real estate ownership, but with potentially lower risk exposure compared to owning physical properties directly.
The fund’s portfolio is concentrated in leading real estate companies such as American Tower Corporation, Prologis, and Equinix, as well as select firms in infrastructure, hospitality, and specialized real estate. This sector-specific focus means performance can be more sensitive to real estate market trends, economic shifts, and interest rate changes compared to more diversified funds. The Dunham Real Estate Stock Fund serves investors seeking exposure to the real estate market through liquid, professionally managed equities rather than physical properties, making it a notable option in the real estate mutual fund category.
