- Easterly Global Real Estate Fund Class A (JAREX) is an open-end equity mutual fund launched and managed by Easterly Investment Partners LLC as part of the James Alpha Funds Trust, seeking total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in global real estate and real estate-related securities. The fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in publicly traded real estate investment trusts (REITs), real estate operating companies, and other issuers or investments providing exposure to real estate sectors worldwide, including through derivatives such as options; it also allocates at least 40% of its net assets to securities of issuers in at least three foreign countries, targeting a diversified portfolio across market capitalizations with fundamental stock selection, dividend capture overlays, and covered call writing. Key holdings include American Homes 4 Rent, Catena AB, Tritax Big Box REIT Plc, and Equity LifeStyle Properties Inc., with significant exposure to real estate (85.16% of the portfolio), the United States (45.44%), the United Kingdom (10.72%), and the Eurozone (10.16%). Launched on October 26, 2009, and domiciled in the United States, the fund is managed by Andrew Duffy, CFA, Co-Founder, Managing Partner, Chief Investment Officer, and Senior Portfolio Manager of Ranger Global Real Estate Advisors, with total net assets of approximately $266.48 million and a share class size of $38.14 million as of late 2025. It maintains a net expense ratio of 1.46%, a front-end load of 5.75%, a minimum initial investment of $2,500, and daily pricing, available for sale in the United States. The fund operates globally, with geographic diversification across developed markets in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. In November 2024, James Alpha Advisors, associated with the fund's platform, entered into a strategic partnership with Easterly, under which Easterly acquired a minority equity interest to accelerate growth and expand offerings including the flagship global real estate strategy. Easterly Funds has pursued broader platform expansion through additional partnerships, such as with Harrison Street for alternative real assets in 2024 and hires in private markets sales leadership, alongside operational integrations like the acquisition of the ROC Municipals team in October 2024. These initiatives reflect Easterly's focus on scaling its mutual fund platform, which includes differentiated strategies managed by boutique teams.
