About JAREX
Easterly Global Real Estate Fund Class A is a globally focused mutual fund that seeks to achieve total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation. The fund primarily invests—at least 80% of its net assets—in securities of real estate and real estate-related companies, as well as in derivatives and instruments with economic exposure to the real estate sector. It stands out by maintaining significant investments across both U.S. and international markets, with a mandate that at least 40% of assets are allocated to issuers from at least three foreign countries, providing broad geographical diversification.
The portfolio is actively managed by an experienced team and typically holds around 50 to 63 positions, focusing on high-conviction selections across the global real estate universe. Notably, the fund includes holdings in real estate investment trusts (REITs), real estate operating companies, and entities with similar characteristics, touching sectors such as commercial, residential, and specialty real estate. Its strategy leverages a disciplined, fundamentally driven approach unconstrained by benchmarks, and may implement performance-enhancing overlays like dividend capture and covered call writing. Since its inception in 2009, the fund has played a key role for investors seeking diversified exposure to the global real estate market and the income potential of property-related securities.
