“We continue to be proud that Lipper recognizes our long-term performance that our Real Estate Value strategy has delivered,” said Third Avenue Management Chief Executive Officer, David Barse. “The strategy’s focus Real Estate Operating Companies (REOCs) over Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITS) is quite different than many of its peers and we congratulate The Team for being recognized for their differentiation and performance.”

Lipper scores for Consistent Return reflect funds’ historical risk-adjusted returns relative to funds in the same Lipper classification and include each fund’s expenses and reinvested distributions, but exclude sales charges. Consistent Return values are calculated with all eligible share classes for each eligible classification. The highest Lipper Leader for Consistent Return value within each eligible classification determines the fund classification winner over three, five or 10 years.
