I’m not confident, but I think mortgage funds are usually safer, so they probably wouldn’t be the answer here.

I’m leaning towards the real estate fund, but I recall that specialty funds often have higher risk-return profiles.

I remember studying that Canadian equity funds can be quite volatile, but I feel like specialty funds take on even more risk.

I think the specialty fund might offer the highest expected return because it focuses on niche markets, but I'm not entirely sure.
