    M* shows a manager change at the New Year, 2018-2019. Not long ago!
    "The fund is notable for what it doesn't own. The focus here is on traditional real estate, so the fund typically doesn't hold data center and infrastructure REITs, such as cell tower companies. The fund has historically tended to be light on healthcare REITs, owing to the long-term length of leases and specialized uses that potentially limit resale value. However, Jones has added to the portfolio's healthcare holdings, so that as of March 31, 2020, it was only slightly underweight in that area relative to the Wilshire US Real Estate Securities Index." I have owned TRREX, but not for long. I note the DISTRIBUTIONS have indeed been juicy.
  • In normal time REITs pay a healthy dividend plus stock appreciation. Through this year's pandemic, the drawdown of the REIT index was 35% in March as shopping malls and hotels were affected badly. The index is still in red but likely to recover after the vaccines are widely distributed to the general population.
