Fund Description
The fund was incepted in May 1996 and is managed by The Vanguard Group. The objective of this fund is to seek high level of dividend income, as well as long-term growth of capital. The fund invests primarily in shares of real estate investment trusts (REITs), which own properties such as apartments, office buildings, and shopping malls. These 'equity' REITs generate income from rentals or lease payments and offer the potential for growth from property appreciation and the potential for capital gains from the sale of properties. The fund owns all of the stocks in the Morgan Stanley REIT Index, a benchmark of U.S. property trusts that covers about two-thirds of the value of the entire U.S. REIT market. The fund distributes dividends quarterly in March, June, September and December. Capital gains, if any, are distributed annually in December.
