“Health Care REITs (17.8%) • We remain constructive on the multi-year outlook for senior housing. • We believe the sector is well positioned to benefit from a cyclical recovery and durable secular tailwinds. Operating fundamentals are improving, with rent growth and rising occupancy, while new supply remains constrained due to elevated construction costs and restrictive financing conditions. Longer term, demand should be supported by favorable demographic trends, including the aging of the baby boomer cohort and accelerating growth in the population aged 80 and over. Expense pressures, particularly labor- related, have largely moderated. We also see the potential for attractive, accretive acquisition opportunities, especially for Welltower Inc. given its cost of capital advantage. • The Fund maintains investments in Welltower, Janus Living, Inc., Ventas, Inc., and American Healthcare REIT, Inc.”
