AFL - CIO Housing Investment Trust 13 • Strong market momentum and optimism leading into 2018. However, inflation continues to remain below FOMC target. Global central bank tightening and end of QE could slow or end stock market rally. Geopolitical risks continue to remain at elevated levels. • Yield curve should continue to flatten and possibly invert with Fed tightening and low inflation. • In this environment, the HIT will continue to manage its portfolio to provide higher income and less credit risk than its benchmark • High credit quality government/agency multifamily MBS offer relative value, with higher yields and lower credit risk than many other fixed - income investment alternatives . • HIT’s investment structure is designed to provide more stable cash flows and safety than many other investments.

 
 

AFL - CIO Housing Investment Trust 14 • HIT’s focus on multifamily securities should continue to provide opportunities to earn superior yield, put union members to work, create affordable housing for working families and spur economic development across the nation. • The HIT is well - positioned to participate in large high - impact development projects with more than $6 billion in net assets. • Outlook is for continued asset growth based on HIT’s long track record of competitive returns and ability to create jobs and stimulate local economies. • Strong demand for rental and affordable housing is expected for many years. This should help build the HIT’s pipeline of investments to execute its strategy.
