About KIFYX

Westwood Real Estate Income Fund is an open-end mutual fund that primarily invests in securities issued by companies within the real estate sector, such as real estate investment trusts (REITs) and master limited partnerships. The fund's main objective is to deliver high current income combined with the potential for modest long-term capital growth. To achieve this, it generally allocates at least 80% of its net assets to real estate-related securities, selecting investments across companies of any market capitalization and varying credit qualities, including high-yield or so-called "junk" bonds. Notable features include the use of option strategies, such as writing call options and purchasing put options, which are intended to enhance income, manage volatility, or control market risk. The fund adheres to a value-oriented investment approach, emphasizing the underlying cash flow and financial strength of target issuers. Westwood Real Estate Income Fund plays an important role for income-focused investors seeking diversified exposure to the real estate sector, aiming to produce steady income streams while offering some growth potential over time.
