Historically, the high ground has always proven advantageous. And in today's
unpredictable marketplace, the high ground may be attained through the
performance and advantages of REITs. In fact, REITS can be a welcome addition to
a diversified portfolio.
CGM Realty Fund invests in REITs and over the past three yeasrs, has
outperformed the NAREIT Equity REIT Index by 23% to return more than 113%.
Perhaps that's why a panel of CNBC experts recommended CGM Realty Fund as one of
the top four funds to invest in for 1998.*
Managed by Ken Heebner, CGM Realty Fund offers the potential for high current
income and long term capital appreciation along with the long term advantages of
real estate. Which, considering today's marketplace, is a pretty enviable
position to be in. Call now for more information and a prospectus. [A line
