What’s the longest-standing investment in the world? Arguably real estate. Since the Middle Ages, real estate has successfully provided investors with a regular income and protected their wealth.
Today, real estate has become the foundation of many investment portfolios. Take the past 20 years: investors holding real estate equities have received higher returns than the broader stock market (see chart below), while spreading their portfolio risks.

Because all or a portion of the Fund are being invested in securities denominated in foreign currencies, the Fund’s exposure to foreign currencies and changes in the value of foreign currencies versus the base currency may result in reduced returns for the Fund, and the value of certain foreign currencies may be subject to a high degree of fluctuation.
The Fund’s assets may be concentrated in one or more particular sectors or industries. The Fund may be subject to the risk that economic, political or other conditions that have a negative effect on the relevant sectors or industries will negatively impact the Fund's performance to a greater extent than if the Fund’s assets were invested in a wider variety of sectors or industries.
For more information on risks, please see the “Risk Factors” section of the relevant Fund’s prospectus, available on www.vaneck.com.
