10 Both U.S. and major global economies will continue to experience slow growth Continued low inflation – U.S. and global Both the U.S. Treasuries and sovereign bonds will be underpinned by accommodative central bank polices in all the major economies Consumer and housing fundamentals remain at historically attractive levels We expect moderate and ongoing volatility in the near-term Macroeconomic Outlook The global recovery remains intact, albeit fragile, despite a tumultuous first quarter and Brexit.

11 Lower rated CMBS spreads remain wide and have also lagged the recovery in credit We believe that junior CMBS spreads will tighten over the next year Residential Whole-loans continue to perform in line with our expectations We expect to opportunistically increase our exposure to this sector Agency mortgages continue to be supported by strong global demand, given their attractive spread over sovereign debt We expect Agency spreads to widen slightly in the short term, but tighten over a longer term Legacy Non-Agency RMBS spreads continue to tighten We see fewer attractive opportunities in this sector Credit risk transfer spreads remain wide and have lagged the broader recovery in the credit sensitive sectors We see attractive opportunities in GSE credit risk transfer securities Portfolio View Agency RMBS and the credit sensitive mortgage sectors, having rebounded from depressed levels, are expected to offer attractive returns.
