Product overview


Sentry Select Global Real Estate Fund was created to capitalize on attractive investment opportunities in the global real estate market. It seeks to benefit from stable income from real estate issuers in mature real estate markets and opportunities for capital appreciation from emerging markets with faster-growing economies. The Fund offers Listed Units and Class F units.

Investors may benefit in several key ways;

  • Income from real estate issuers in mature real estate markets
  • Opportunities for capital appreciation from emerging markets with faster-growing economies
  • Additional return potential through warrants, exercisable on or before October 31, 2009
  • Conversion to an open-end mutual fund after two years (February 1, 2010)

The Fund meets the needs of investors seeking to enhance portfolio diversification. As an asset class with a low correlation to stocks and bonds, real estate securities can provide increased return potential and diversification within a well-balanced portfolio.
