New York, NY – March 14, 2025 – Third Avenue Management LLC (“Third Avenue”) announced today that the Third Avenue Real Estate Value Fund (“the Real Estate Value Fund” or “the Fund”)¹ was named the Best Global Real Estate Fund Over Three Years and the Best Global Real Estate Fund Over Five Years at the 2025 LSEG Lipper Funds Awards in the United States.
The Lipper Fund Awards have been synonymous with strong risk-adjusted performance for more than three decades and focus the investment world on top-performing funds. The 2025 Awards were presented for the Real Estate Value Fund’s performance over the three-year and five-year period ended December 31, 2024² and mark the seventh time the Third Avenue Real Estate team has been recognized by LSEG Lipper in the Best Global Real Estate Fund category³.
"We are honored to receive recognition from LSEG Lipper for delivering sector-leading results to the investors in the Third Avenue Real Estate Value Fund," said Ryan Dobratz, Co-Portfolio Manager of the Fund. “Receiving a Lipper Award for the seventh time is also a testament to the durability of Third Avenue’s Real Estate strategy and the robust process we have developed over two decades.”
The Real Estate Value Fund, a United States-based mutual fund, has sought out value-oriented opportunities in listed real estate for more than 25 years. During that span, the Fund has also offered exposure to not only real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), but real estate operating companies (“REOCs”) involved with commercial, residential, and real estate services globally.
“The Fund’s long-term results reflect Third Avenue’s unique approach to listed real estate,” 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 enterprises that trade at a discount to our estimate of net-asset value—irrespective of whether they are included in a benchmark. We believe such a combination is the key to generating superior long-term results.”
Otto Christian Kober, Head of Lipper Research, LSEG Data & Analytics noted, “There is no way to have foreseen the range of fundamental and non-financial factors that impacted the markets these past few years. We applaud the 2025 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 to the United States winners in New York City on March 13, 2025.
