Third Avenue Real Estate Value UCITS Named Best Global Real Estate Fund by LSEG Lipper

The 2024 Award Recognizes the Fund for Consistently Strong Risk-Adjusted Performance Relative to its Peers in the U.K., France, Switzerland, and Europe Region

The Awards Mark the Team’s Sixth Year Receiving a Lipper Award in the Global Real Estate Category

Third Avenue Management LLC (“the Firm” or “Third Avenue”) announced today that the Third Avenue Real Estate Value UCITS Class A1 Shares¹ (“the Real Estate Value Fund”) was named the Best Global Real Estate Fund Over Three Years at the 2024 LSEG Lipper Funds Awards in Europe, the U.K., Switzerland, and France.

The Lipper Fund Awards have been synonymous with strong risk-adjusted performance for more than three decades, and these awards were presented for the Real Estate Value Fund performance over the three-year period ended December 31, 2023² marking the sixth year the Third Avenue Real Estate team has been recognized by LSEG Lipper for excelling relative to its peers³.

“We are honored to be recognized by LSEG Lipper for providing the shareholders of the Third Avenue Real Estate Value UCITS Fund with sector-leading results,” said Ryan Dobratz, Co-Portfolio Manager of the Fund. “Receiving a Lipper Award for the sixth time is also a testament to the durability of Third Avenue’s distinctive real estate strategy and the robust process the team has developed over the past two decades.”

“The Real Estate Value Fund’s long-term results reflect Third Avenue’s unique approach to listed real estate investing,” added Jason Wolf, Co-Portfolio Manager of the Fund. “As we’ve done since 1998, we will continue to identify and invest in well-capitalized and well-managed companies that we believe trade at a discount to our estimate of net-asset value—irrespective of whether they are included in a benchmark. We believe this is the key to generating superior long-term results.”

Robert Jenkins, Global Head of Research, Investment & Wealth at LSEG Lipper noted, “We applaud the 2024 LSEG Lipper Fund Award winners such as Third Avenue Management for delivering outperformance and the accompanying comfort of consistency to investors’ portfolios through a cross-current of global market disruptions.”

The LSEG Lipper Fund Awards were presented for the Europe Region on March 6, 2024, for Switzerland on March 26, 2024, for France on April 19, 2024, and for the U.K. on April 24, 2024.
