From Barron's 6-04-07:
"Seven Fat Years. That's what investors in U.S. real-estate investment trusts enjoyed through 2006, as REITs perennially outpaced the broad stock market.
Given the state of the U.S. housing market and the concern about the subprime-mortgage morass, this unhappy trend is likely to continue. So, where's the best place for individual U.S. real-estate investors now? Probably abroad, especially if the dollar's weakness persists."

KIRAX
Forward Internati - $14.41
- +0.70%
- $N/A
From Barron's 6-4-07: "KIRAX has returned 32% since its inception 13 months ago. Through May 30, it was up 6.7% this year, well above many peers. While the fund is young, Kensington itself has a solid history as a real-estate-investment manager. KIRAX currently has $248 million in assets under management; it's at a point in its growth where it has a bit of heft but also some agility. The fund buys companies with institutional-quality assets and active managements in markets as diverse as the U.K."

EGLRX
Alpine Internatio - $20.82
- +2.11%
- $N/A
From Barron's 6-4-07: "EGLRX has an easily crossed minimum-investment threshold of $1,000. It has returned an average of just under 28% over the past five years. This year, through May, the $1.58 billion fund was up 13.7%. Manager Sam Lieber likes private-equity-type investments, as well as stocks."

IRFAX
Cohen Steers Inte - $9.67
- +2.22%
- $N/A
From Barron's 6-4-07: "The biggest name in the real-estate mutal fund has performed solidly in its short two-year life, with a 7.14% return year-to-date and a 2006 total return of 43.9% (the fund's front load is 4.5%). Like Alpine, the price of admission is just $1,000. Unlike Alpine, the $3.8 billion fund favors blue-chip realty stocks in Europe, Australia and Asia."

IGLAX
Ing Global Real E - $13.47
- +1.05%
- $N/A
From Barron's 6-4-07: "IGLAX has $1.46 billion in net assets. It returned 5.33% this year through May, while offering a 4.01% yield. Its five-year average return is 25.2%. (Its front load is 5.75%.) The fund's hallmark is consistency: Its three-year return is 29.8%. IGLAX -- which has an entry point of $1,000 -- invests primarily in international blue-chips, from U.S. majors like Simon Property (SPG) to Japanese giants like Mitsui Fudosan (8801.Japan) -- a good foundation to build on."
