RREEF AMERICA L.L.C.


RREEF America L.L.C. (“RREEF”), a Delaware limited liability company, is an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission since 1998. RREEF was part of the asset management division of Deutsche Bank AG, a publicly listed banking corporation organized under the laws of Germany. In March 2018, Deutsche Bank AG reorganized the asset management division into a separate financial services firm, DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA (“DWS KGaA”), a German partnership limited by shares. DWS KGaA is now a separate publicly listed financial services firm but remains an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG. RREEF is an indirect subsidiary of DWS KGaA. RREEF provides real estate investment and advisory services to funds and institutional clients on a discretionary and non-discretionary basis. RREEF has offered its products and services to clients across a range of asset classes and investing styles, since its formation in 1975. RREEF is part of the global investment management business of DWS KGaA and its affiliates (“DWS”). This brochure, including any brochure supplement, is intended for RREEF’s direct advisory clients. Investors in any RREEF-advised fund should rely on the fund’s prospectus or offering materials, and may therefore refer to this brochure, or any brochure supplement, for informational purposes only. Client-Imposed Investment Restrictions RREEF primarily manages real estate, real asset, and infrastructure securities portfolios on behalf of separately managed accounts of individual clients. RREEF works closely with these clients to understand their individual investment goals and objectives and recommends targeted investment strategies and vehicles. Subject to RREEF’s review, these clients may impose investment restrictions on RREEF’s investment strategies for their accounts. For direct real estate separately managed accounts, RREEF produces an Annual Strategic Investment Plan (the “Plan”) for each account. With respect to commingled funds (including registered investment companies) managed by RREEF, individual investors generally do not have an ability to impose restrictions on the management of such vehicles. Further, such fund offerings are not tailored to address the specific investment objectives or circumstances of any individual investor. Assets under Management As of December 31, 2018, RREEF had discretionary assets under management of $47,887,717,990 USD and non-discretionary assets under management of $5,014,094,283 USD. RREEF’s assets under management noted above differ from that reported in Item 5.F. of RREEF’s ADV Part 1 given the inclusion of the value of direct real estate investments within the totals. While these investments generally are not considered securities under the instructions to ADV Part 1, and therefore are not included within the Item 5.F. assets under management totals, they are considered to be “assets” for which RREEF provides investment advisory services and hence their value is included within investment advisory fee calculations. Investment Capabilities Products listed below may be managed by RREEF either directly or through sub-advisory relationships with affiliated and non-affiliated entities. See Item 10 for information regarding certain affiliated arrangements related to RREEF’s advisory business. RREEF’s policies and practices can vary by strategy and/or product type. RREEF’s advisory services can vary by strategy and/or product type and geographic location. RREEF America L.L.C.

Model Portfolios RREEF may provide model portfolio recommendations for a variety of investment styles to clients of RREEF and RREEF affiliates. Model portfolios may relate to the same investment strategies that are also offered or utilized through discretionary accounts. RREEF typically provides model portfolio recommendations on a nondiscretionary basis; i.e., model portfolio recipients are responsible for interposing their own judgment in deciding that the model portfolio recommendations are appropriate for their client accounts and for determining whether and which recommended securities transactions are to be executed on behalf of their clients. Unaffiliated model portfolio program sponsors execute securities transactions on behalf of their program clients. Non-U.S. Strategies/Other Arrangements RREEF offers a variety of non-U.S. strategies through its sub-advisory relationships with advisory affiliates located outside the United States. Apart from furnishing investment advice to clients, RREEF also provides various investment advisory, consulting, administrative and research support services to its affiliates, pursuant to intercompany agreements. RREEF may offer, and may negotiate fees with respect to, its investment advisory and research support services to other third-party fiduciaries, and may also render investment advice to specific accounts of such fiduciaries that contract with RREEF. To provide financial services in Australia, RREEF relies on an exemption from the requirement to hold an Australian financial services license under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). The Securities and Exchange Commission of the U.S. regulates RREEF under U.S. laws, which differ from Australian laws. Environmental, Social and Governance Issues RREEF portfolio management may incorporate considerations of environmental, social and governance issues (“ESG”) into both investment decisions and proxy voting decisions where the financial performance of a company in which RREEF invests on behalf of clients could be impacted, but also where the investment raises purely ethical concerns. Companies or states that contravene internationally accepted ethical principles, and in which RREEF is considering an investment, will be subject to heightened scrutiny. RREEF may also consider reputational impact to its parent or affiliates, or its clients, and in making investment decisions. RREEF may further consider how prospective clients might view these issues. Determinations regarding socially responsible investing are complex and should be made on a case-by-case basis, in accordance with investment mandates, and must always be made in the best interest of clients.
