                Fund Description
            
The fund was incepted in December 1997 and is managed by ABN AMRO Asset Management. The fund seeks total return through a combination of growth and income. The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in real estate investment trusts (REITs) and common stocks and other equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies principally engaged in the real estate sector. The fund manager does not invest in real estate directly. In selecting securities for the fund, the portfolio manager analyzes long-term trends in property types and geographic regions. The fund offers dividends and capital gains, if any, at different interval.
