Rowe Price Real Estate has long been a top choice for fund investors seeking real estate exposure, earning it a Morningstar Analyst Rating of Gold. It has one of the most consistently solid long-term records in the real estate Morningstar Category; as of July 2015, its returns ranked near the top of the category since its 1997 inception. While it has seldom been among the best performers in any given year, it has mostly avoided big losses and has managed to outpace its peers in a wide variety of market conditions. Investors have a single manager to thank for this impressive record: David Lee, who has been in charge since the fund launched. He employs a strategy that’s grounded in fundamentals and focused on the long term, thus accounting for the portfolio’s low annual turnover (typically around 10%). Lee and his team look for REITs and real estate operating companies with good long-term growth prospects and talented management teams that are trading below the net asset value of their underlying real estate assets. Lee puts a lot of emphasis on the quality of those

underlying assets, with location being a primary consideration. That’s why the fund has long been underweight relative to its peers in health-care REITs, which often feature properties in unattractive locations. The fund also doesn’t own data-center REITs, which have been hot recently for their role in cloud computing, but which tend to have similarly poor locations. The lack of health-care REITs hurt the fund in the brutal 2007-08 downturn, but for the most part, Lee’s long-term, quality-focused strategy is well-suited to down markets. The fund ranked in the category’s top quartile in 2013 and the first half of 2015, two periods when REITs took a beating in anticipation of rising interest rates. But it has also performed well in bull markets for REITs, easily beating its category peers in 2009 and 2010, and edging past them in 2012 and 2014 with gains of 17% and 30%. Recent turnover on the analyst staff bears watching, but overall this is an excellent fund, with low expenses adding to its numerous other pluses.
