Investment Management Economic Environment and Outlook x The Pandemic, Inflation and the Invasion of Ukraine are major factor s in the global economy . ▪ Growth in the fourth quarter picked up posting a 7 . 0 % GDP increase despite the Omicron variant . Labor market continues to improve with wages rising as unemployment falls . Supply chain issues remain a challenge driving cost and prices higher as aggregate demand continues to expand . ▪ Inflation pressures continue to mount and exceed the FOMC’s target potentially weighing on future economic growth . ▪ The invasion of Ukraine adds to the geopolitical risk and volatility of asset prices . Commodity prices primarily in energy, oil and building materials continue to rise . ▪ Gasoline prices hit a record high in early March acting as a tax on consumer spending which could lead to a decline in consumer confidence . x Federal Reserve sternly addressing unwarranted price inflation above goals . ▪ Fed officials approved a plan in December to more quickly taper their bond - buying program to end it by mid - March instead of June . ▪ Evidence of tighter labor markets and high inflation has provided new urgency for the Fed to act sooner than originally forecasted with faster pace of rate hikes combined with a reduction in their balance sheet . ▪ Shifts in monetary policy responding to changes in the Fed outlook could add to risk market volatility as many global central banks begin tightening or signal an earlier start . x Affordable and workforce housing continues to be a top priority of the Biden administration which has directed the FHFA to increase GSE mission - related financing to 50 % of purchase caps with 25 % of the loan volume directed toward properties/units with less than 60 % AMI . x HIT should be well - positioned to generate competitive risk adjusted returns and provide financing for impact investments . 24
