Performance Table Narrative
The following table shows the Fund’s Retail Shares’ annual returns and long-term performance (before and after taxes) and the change in value of market indexes over various periods ended December 31, 2025. This table shows how the Fund’s performance compares to that of the MSCI US REIT Index, which is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is comprised of equity REITs, in which the Fund invests, and the S&P 500 Index, a broad-based securities index that reflects the overall U.S. equity market. The table also shows the average annual return of the Fund’s Institutional Shares and R6 Shares, but it does not show after‑tax returns.
After‑tax returns are calculated using the highest individual federal marginal income tax rate in effect at the time of each distribution and assumed sale, but they do not include the impact of state and local taxes.
Your actual after‑tax returns depend on your own tax situation and may differ from those shown. After‑tax returns reflect past tax effects and are not predictive of future tax effects. After‑tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund’s shares in a tax‑deferred account (including a 401(k) or IRA or Coverdell account), or to investors that are tax‑exempt.
Performance Table Uses Highest Federal Rate After‑tax returns are calculated using the highest individual federal marginal income tax rate in effect at the time of each distribution and assumed sale, but they do not include the impact of state and local taxes.
