Philosophy
- We believe that real estate assets are an important part of a diversified portfolio and can provide an attractive combination capital appreciation and current income.
- We view real estate securities as offering investors a cost-effective, liquid way to participate in the asset class.
- Aim to add value primarily through positive stock selection within each property type subsector.
- Our long-term perspective values companies with multi-year catalysts and produces low portfolio turnover.
Process
- Disciplined “relative value” approach combines the benefits of both quantitative and fundamental research.
- Quantitative analysis: compare REITs to their property subsector peers on the basis of valuation, cash flow growth, and financial leverage.
- Qualitative analysis: identify those REITs which offer the most attractive relative value and possess a catalyst to drive earnings and valuation.

| Term | QTR | YTD | 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years | Since Inception1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Real Estate SMA (Gross) | 15.54 | 14.59 | 34.28 | 3.99 | 6.40 | 8.94 | 10.00 |

The composite inception date is 12.31.2001. Performance is preliminary and is annualized for periods longer than one year. Net of fees performance returns are preliminary and are presented net of the investment management fees and trading expenses. Gross of fees performance returns reflect the deduction of trading costs: a client’s return will be reduced by the management fees and other expenses it may incur. Investment management fees are described in Sterling’s Form ADV 2A. Performance reflects the reinvestment of interest income and dividends and realized capital gains. The performance presented represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Performance is compared to an index: however, the volatility of an index varies greatly and investments cannot be made directly in an index. Market conditions vary from year to year and can result in a decline in market value due to material market or economic conditions. Sources: Bloomberg L.P.; Sterling Capital Management Analytics. Please refer to the GIPS Composite Report on the Fact Sheet linked above for additional disclosures. Net returns are calculated by deducting the highest applicable wrap fee of 3.00% annually from the gross composite return.

Fed Begins to Ease... Rates Rise?
Andy Richman's update on the November Federal Open Market Committee meeting.

- We have shared the qualities we seek in the companies we invest in and how we research their perceived competitive advantage, but what advantage can an investor have? - As investment timeframes have become more short term, we have found the long end of the equity yield curve is less competitive and may “yield” more opportunities. - The concept of the equity yield curve is helpful to visualize how patience can create value.

- One of the most common mental shortcuts is regression to the mean, or the idea that outcomes far from average will revert to average over time. - Where did the idea come from, is it true in every case, and can it create a greater understanding and yield profitable insights? - Finally, if there are advantaged companies that challenge this assumption as the economy has evolved, what valuations will the market typically award them?

U.S. Equity Market Performance Following the First Fed Funds Rate Cut
After two and a half years of battling elevated inflation with aggressive monetary policy tightening measures, the Federal Reserve (Fed) finally reduced the federal funds target rate range (fed funds rate) by 50 basis points during its September 2024 meeting. With recent inflation indicators seemingly within the Fed’s comfort zone, coupled with an increasing emphasis on supporting the labor market, we believe it’s highly likely that additional rate cuts are forthcoming.
