abrdn Global Real Estate Fund Institutional S Accumulation

OBJECTIVES AND INVESTMENT POLICY Investment Objective To generate income and some growth over the long term (5 years or more) by investing in global commercial property markets. Performance Target: To generate a return of 5% per annum over rolling three year periods, after charges. There is no certainty or promise that the Performance Target will be achieved. Investment Policy Portfolio Securities - The fund invests at least 80% in global commercial property and property-related equities (company shares) with the potential for up to 100% to be held in commercial property at any time. - The fund may also invest indirectly in commercial property through investment vehicles such as companies both listed and not listed on a stock exchange or funds (including those managed by abrdn). - The fund may also invest in cash and assets that can be turned into cash quickly. Management Process - The management team use their discretion (active management) to identify investments that are expected to benefit from changes in property prices and property improvements. They will maintain a diverse asset mix at country and sector level. - The fund will not hold more than 35% of its assets in emerging market countries. - Non-sterling denominated assets will typically be hedged back to sterling to reduce exposure to currency rate movements. - Please note: Selling property can be a lengthy process so investors in the fund should be aware that, in certain circumstances, they may not be able to sell their investment when they want to. Derivatives and Techniques - The fund may use derivatives to reduce risk, reduce cost and/or generate additional income or growth consistent with the risk profile of the fund. - Derivatives are linked to the value of other assets. In other words, they derive their price from one or more underlying asset. - Where derivatives are used, this would typically be to maintain allocations following a significant inflow into the fund or to manage currency risk. Investors in the fund may buy and sell shares on any dealing day (as defined in the Prospectus). If you invest in income shares, income from investments in the fund will be paid out to you. If you invest in accumulation shares, income will be added to the value of your shares. Recommendation: the fund may not be appropriate for investors who plan to withdraw their money within five years. Investors should satisfy themselves that their attitude to risk aligns with the risk profile of this fund before investing.
