In the event that such investment management fees and other fees were deducted, the performance of an account would be lower. For example, if an account appreciated by 10% a year for five years, the total annualized return for five years prior to deducting fees at the end of the five-year period would be 10%. If total account fees were 0.10% for each of the five years, the total annualized return of the account for five years at the end of the five-year period would be 9.89%. An investment in real estate involves a high degree of risk, including possible loss of principal amount invested, and is suitable only for sophisticated investors who can bear such losses.
