About STMMX

Its primary objective is to achieve total return by investing at least 80% of its assets in securities of real estate and real estate-related companies, including Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). The fund's portfolio is predominantly composed of U.S.-listed REITs and companies that own or manage income-generating properties such as apartment complexes, office buildings, hotels, healthcare facilities, and shopping centers. Notable holdings frequently include major REITs specializing in diverse property types, providing exposure to a broad cross-section of the real estate market. Sterling Capital Real Estate Fund A is designed to appeal to investors seeking access to the income and growth potential of the real estate sector through a diversified, professionally managed fund. It features a mid-blend investment style and maintains a moderate turnover rate, emphasizing long-term holdings.
