Global Property Securities Fund - D2 Class Inc Units (HKD)
Important Notes
- The Fund shall invest no less than 80% of the assets of the Fund in real estate investment trusts ("REITs") and common equity securities issued by non-REIT real estate companies in the United States and REITs, common equity securities issued by non-REIT real estate companies and similar structures in other areas of the world.
- Risks associated with investing in the securities of companies in the real estate industry include the following: declines in the value of real estate, risks related to general and local economic, political and market conditions, overbidding and increased competition, increases in property taxes and operating expenses, changes in zoning laws, casualty or condemnation losses, defaults on mortgage payments, variations in rental income, changes in neighbourhood values, vacancy rates, the appeal of properties to tenants and increases in interest rates.
- Investment involves risk. There is no assurance on investment returns and you may not get back the amount originally invested.
- The investment decision is yours but you should not invest in this Fund unless the intermediary who sells it to you has advised you that it is suitable for you and explained how it is consistent with your investment objectives.
- You should not invest solely in reliance on this website alone. You should read the Summary Prospectus and the relevant Supplement(s) before investing including the Special Investment Considerations and Risks section of the Summary Prospectus.
- In relation to D2 Class Income Units of the Fund, the dividends which may be distributed by such class of units may be paid effectively out of the capital of the Fund (i.e. making the distribution from gross income while charging all or part of the Fund's fees and expenses to capital), resulting in an increase in distributable income for the payment of dividends by the Fund and an immediate reduction of the net asset value per unit of the Fund. Payment of dividends effectively out of capital amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor's original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Dividend is not guaranteed.
Outperformance During Different Economic Cycles
With better downside protection, US REITs were still able to deliver positive returns in late cycles.
Solid Long-Term Performance
Global REITs have attractive total returns vs equities and bond over the past years.
Diversification
REITs have behaved more like private real estate and less like stocks over the long term. Low long-term correlations provide important diversification to a portfolio of equities.
Durable And Steady Income Potential
Over the last decade, Global REITs have had an average annual dividend growth rate of 5.6%. Predictable, resilient income can be a buoy to help keep portfolios afloat in turbulent waters. REITs can provide such income and importantly, those dividends have consistently grown over cycles.
Total Return Enhancement
Global REITs have outperformed all major asset classes since the turn of the century.

The asset size of the fund grew exponentially since launch in 2007.
Consistent & Tested Leadership

1. The 3 Years Annualized Volatility shows the risk of a fund and is calculated as an annualized standard deviation based on the monthly rates of return of the fund over the past three years. However, no data will be displayed if the period between the reporting date of the website and the inception date for the fund is less than 3 years.
2. The ongoing charges are expressed as a percentage of the sum of expenses over the average net asset value of the unit class for the 12-month period ended 30 September 2022, and this figure may vary from year to year.
