Past performance does not predict future returns. Morningstar Direct, Bloomberg, NCREIF, 20-year period ending December 31, 2023.

Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against a loss in a declining market. Indices are meant to illustrate general market performance. Comparisons shown are for informational purposes only, do not represent specific investments and are not a portfolio allocation recommendation. Correlation measures how one investment performs in relation to another, with a coefficient of +1 being a perfect, positive correlation and a coefficient of -1 being a perfect, negative correlation. When two asset classes have a correlation of +1, they will both move up or down by the same amount in the same direction. Conversely, a correlation of -1 indicates that when one asset class moves up or down, the other moves in the opposite direction by the same amount. In general, asset classes with a correlation of less than 0.70 or greater than -0.70 are considered to have relatively low correlation. Private Real Estate is represented by the NFI-ODCE Index.

An investment in a yield-oriented US Core+ Strategy for Income-focused individual investors (the “Strategy”) has material differences from a direct investment in real estate, including related to fees and expenses, liquidity and tax treatment. The Strategy’s share price is subject to less volatility because its per share NAV is based on the value of real estate assets it owns (which may fluctuate and may be worth less than initial price) and is not subject to mark et pricing forces as is the price of the indices presented. The Strategy shares are significantly less liquid than public REITs and may fluctuate.
