I moved my 4 -5% Reit holdings from TAREX (Third Ave Real Estate) into TRREX last month in my Scottrade Roth. TAREX did not pay out regular dividends being more of a Reoc than a pure Reit fund. If I want to own Reits I want the divs so this fund seems a better fit for me. Anyway, this is my 1st TRP fund and I know some of you from other boards so I'll be stopping by.

Hello and thanks,

Dave

Welcome, Sir Dave

Happy weekend,

Dave,

I also want to welcome you to the T. Rowe Price Fund Family Forum.

I don't own T-Rex, but I do own some TAREX, which is conveniently available through my 401k.  I have my Real Estate allocation equally divided between TAREX and EGLRX, Alpine International Real Estate fund.  When I bought EGLRX a few years ago it seemed to do more zigging when the market was zagging.  I also owned it in a Roth before TAREX became available in the 401k.  Currently, EGLRX seems to be more correlated with Asian stocks.  It does have a health dose of RE from that part of the world.  Imagine that!  Anyway, I was thinking of selling EGLRX, and doubling TAREX to the 6% portfolio RE allocation.  TAREX has become more global in its holdings lately, so I don't think I need both funds anymore.

That's my story, and I'm sticking with it:^)

Hi Dave!

Nice move getting into TRREX when you did..

I keep a 5% allocation to TRREX come hell or high tide. I sell it off if it gets too much above my target and buy into it when it tanks. Works like a charm.

If I ever get nervous about it I place a call to my buddy helmut and he gives me a lesson on the merits of patience and the bonus that comes with rebalancing.

Thanks for the Royal Welcome Queen Hetty! And thanks for all the other "welcomes" as well.

Do we get into politics here?  : )
