TO OUR INVESTORS  

During much of 2023, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) continued hiking interest rates in its ongoing effort to bring down persistently high inflation. By the latter part of the year, rates had reached their highest level in years, broadly hurting the value of rate-sensitive fixed income investments. However, the Fed’s pausing of its rate hike program and market expectations of a pivot to rate cuts in 2024 helped fixed income markets rally in the fourth quarter. The HIT’s return for 2023 was 5.51% gross of fees and 5.17% net of fees compared to 5.53% for its benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index^* (Bloomberg Aggregate or Benchmark).¹ The HIT ended 2023 with a yield-to-worst of 5.36%, an advantage of 82 basis points over the Benchmark, which we expect will be a positive harbinger going into 2024.²

The HIT continues to increase its impact investing and committed to 15 projects in 2023, despite the challenges posed by higher rates in the earlier part of the year. Currently, the HIT has 40 projects under construction nationwide, which are expected to generate an estimated $6.2 billion of economic activity and create or rehabilitate 6,534 housing units. Looking forward to 2024, the HIT will seek to secure more investments that finance new housing development as we expect the demand for additional housing, particularly affordable housing, will continue to grow. Despite 2023’s difficult interest rate environment, the HIT was able to provide financing for 15 projects without sacrificing credit quality: 92% of the portfolio was guaranteed by the government,

a Government-Sponsored Enterprise or a state housing finance agency. We believe that the HIT’s ability to provide flexible and creative financing to housing projects, as well as the return of longer-term interest rates to levels seen at the start of 2023, should allow it to be an attractive financing source as borrowers may confront challenges in the coming year.

Continuing its strategy of maintaining a high credit quality portfolio with a very attractive yield, the HIT persists in seeking competitive returns for its investors while building much-needed housing in communities across the U.S. The HIT also strives to do more as a record number of renters were cost-burdened and home purchase affordability in 99% of counties was worse than its historical average in 2023. We believe that the HIT’s commitment to constantly improving operations allows the HIT to help fill financing gaps that could lead to more attractive investments, jobs and housing. The growth of the HIT, lower operating expenses and the large volume of impact investments made in the past four years have strengthened the HIT’s position. We believe the HIT’s higher yield and its impact investments will bring value to its investors and partners.

MESSAGE FROM THE AFL-CIO PRESIDENT  

“Over the course of 2023, the HIT proved that a long-established union-friendly investment strategy really is a model for modern, impactful investments.”

During 2023, the HIT remained true to its guiding principle to create additional employment for the construction trades and help address America’s tremendous unmet housing need. By all measures, it succeeded: investing $357.2 million in 15 projects nationwide in 2023, with $1.9 billion in total development costs, creating or rehabilitating 2,873 housing units (45% affordable), and generating an estimated 13,554 jobs across communities.

The history of the American labor movement is woven through the very streets and neighborhoods in which the HIT invests; and while every city is distinct, the HIT’s investments are uniformly aligned with creating local opportunities. By seeking to generate competitive returns for investors while promoting the creation of union jobs, affordable housing and sustainable development, the HIT responded to some of the most critical challenges Americans face. Then, by engaging and educating

stakeholders in key markets, the HIT put the power of union capital center stage and encouraged others to join its efforts. In short, over the course of 2023, the HIT proved that a long-established union-friendly investment strategy really is a model for modern, impactful investments.

I welcome another year working alongside the HIT and the labor movement as we forge solutions, weather change, and create real opportunity for union members nationwide.

In Solidarity,

Elizabeth H. Shuler

President, AFL-CIO; Trustee, AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

(unaudited)

2023 OVERVIEW The AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust (HIT) continued to put labor’s capital to work through high credit-quality multifamily investments in 2023, a year with continuing restrictive monetary policy as the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) raised the Federal Funds Rate by 100 basis points (bps) after raising it by 400 bps the prior year.1 The HIT committed $357.2 million to finance the construction, substantial rehabilitation or affordability preservation of 15 projects during the year.2 These investments, with a total development cost of $1.9 billion, are expected to generate approximately 5,726 union construction jobs and an estimated $2.8 billion in economic impacts.3 Fixed income strategies rebounded from a difficult 2022 by generating positive returns in 2023; and the HIT performed in-line with its benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index* (Bloomberg Aggregate or Benchmark). The HIT ended 2023 with a yield-to-worst of 5.36%, 82 bps higher than the Benchmark, and we believe this yield advantage reflects the relative value of the HIT’s portfolio.4 2023 RETURNS For 2023, the HIT generated a gross return of 5.51% and net return of 5.17%, compared to the Benchmark’s 5.53% return. The HIT narrowly trailed the Benchmark despite a structural underweight to corporate	credit, the best performing sector in investment grade fixed income for 2023. The HIT delivered competitive returns as the portfolio yield continued to rise alongside interest rates. PERFORMANCE ATTRIBUTION SUMMARY Total returns for investment grade fixed income strategies were positive for 2023 as interest rates fell from their highs in the fourth quarter. The 10-year U.S. Treasury closed the year with a yield of 3.88%, which was exactly the same as the yield at the end of the previous year. Interest rates fluctuated greatly throughout the year, reaching their highest levels in 15 years in October before closing the year over 100 bps lower. By adding higher coupon assets into its portfolio, the HIT was able to generate a meaningful income return of 3.88%, a 63-bp advantage to the Benchmark. In this volatile rate environment, the HIT delivered competitive returns that narrowly underperformed the Benchmark by 2 bps on a gross of fees basis despite not holding any corporate credit, which was the best performing sector for the year in investment grade fixed income on both an excess and total return basis, by a wide margin. The HIT’s relative performance for 2023 benefitted from the HIT’s overweight to conventional agency multifamily mortgage-backed securities, overweight to adjustable-rate investments, and underweight to U.S. Treasuries, which
Relative Returns As of December 31, 2023, periods over one year are annualized	Comparison of a $50,000 Investment in the HIT and Bloomberg Aggregate (10 Years)

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Economic and market conditions change, and both will cause investment return, principal value, and yield to fluctuate so that a participant’s units, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at www.aflcio-hit. com. Gross performance figures do not reflect the deduction of HIT expenses. Net performance figures reflect the deduction of HIT expenses and are the performance figures investors experience in the HIT. Information about HIT expenses can be found on page 1 of the HIT’s current prospectus. The Bloomberg Aggregate is an unmanaged index and is not available for direct investment, although certain funds attempt to replicate this index. Returns for the index would be lower if they reflected the actual trading costs or expenses associated with management of an actual portfolio.

was the worst performing asset class in the Benchmark on an excess and total return basis. In addition to the HIT’s lack of corporate bonds, the HIT’s underweight to the lower credit quality sectors of the investment grade universe hindered relative returns.

2023 MARKET OVERVIEW

The U.S. economy continued to expand in 2023, backed by strong consumer spending, steady job growth and growing real wages. Despite a slight softening in the fourth quarter, the U.S. labor market ended 2023 with an unemployment rate of only 3.7%.⁵ Following its peak in the summer of 2022, inflation demonstrated a persistent downward trend for the year, although it remains well above the Federal Reserve’s long run 2% target. Shelter prices, however, remained elevated throughout 2023, fueled by high home prices and rents.

To address heightened inflation, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) hiked the Federal Funds rate 100 bps during the first seven months of the year.⁶ The Fed did not change interest rates for the rest of the year to assess the lagged impact of its increasingly restrictive monetary policy.

Housing affordability continued to erode in 2023 due to elevated mortgage rates and home prices. Median-priced single-family homes and condos were less affordable in 2023 compared to historical averages in 99% of counties around the nation.⁷ While the national apartment vacancy rate rose half a percentage point and rents softened from record highs, the average American renter remains cost burdened. The share of American household income needed to rent an average-priced apartment crossed the rent-burdening 30% threshold in 2023 for the first time in nearly 25 years of tracking.⁸

HIT’S MULTIFAMILY INVESTMENTS  

The HIT committed $357.2 million in financing across 15 investments in 2023, which will generate, rehabilitate or preserve 2,873 housing units, of which approximately 45% will be affordable.⁹ These projects have development costs totaling over $1.9 billion, marking the highest in the HIT’s nearly 40-year history. These investments are expected to contribute positively to the HIT’s portfolio’s yield while generating approximately 5,726 union construction jobs and an estimated $2.8 billion in economic impacts, revitalizing communities across the U.S. as spending on these projects circulate through local economies.¹⁰

In 2023, the HIT continued to utilize its varied financing products, primarily utilizing its Federal Housing Administration (FHA)-insured construction and permanent lending program, and its direct and bridge lending authorities. The HIT committed to three direct loans in 2023, including 400 Lake Shore, a mixed-income, 72-story housing project located at the intersection of the Chicago River and Lake Michigan, which will redefine the Chicago skyline.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

  “As the housing shortage and housing costs continue to rise, the HIT is doing its part to grow, rehabilitate and maintain the supply across the U.S. In 2023, the HIT provided financing for 2,873 units of housing, with 1,290 of those affordable.”  Chris Coleman President and CEO, Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity; Chair of the Board, AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust

The HIT continued to be very active in some of its key markets during 2023. In addition to 400 Lake Shore, the HIT closed on six Chicago developments, which will create 652 units of housing, of which approximately 96% will be affordable. Additionally, the HIT committed to provide financing for projects in Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania; and to preserve affordability in New York City.

At year-end, 40 projects receiving HIT financing were under construction. These projects are providing significant economic benefits and positively impacting communities in 19 cities across 10 states. With a positive outlook on interest rates heading into 2024, the HIT is tracking an extensive pipeline of projects and continues to work with its numerous lending partners to finance affordable, workforce, and market rate housing developments.

LOOKING AHEAD 

The U.S. economy is expected to slow in the coming months as the lagged effects of higher interest rates and a slowing labor market could weigh on consumer spending. Ongoing turmoil in the Middle East, including the unrest in the Red Sea, could impact supply chains and cause oil prices to rise. Higher oil and gas prices act as a tax on consumers, who are already experiencing strained budgets from still elevated inflation.

Disinflation, as well as the slower job growth in the fourth quarter, has raised market expectations for more cuts in short-term rates in 2024. Currently, the Fed is forecasting three quarter-point rate cuts by the end of 2024, with the Federal Funds Effective Rate futures market predicting a much more aggressive policy of at least six quarter-point cuts by the end of 2024.

Additionally, there continues to be a high degree of political uncertainty going into the new year. The latest budget agreement, passed in mid-January, is just a stopgap measure that now pushes the possibility of a government shutdown into March 2024.

Single family home prices remain near record highs and are expected to be out of reach for many in 2024, so multifamily rental housing should continue to be in high demand. At the same time, a record number of renters are cost burdened, demonstrating the critical need for more affordable housing in the U.S. The HIT has a proven track record of investing in affordable and market rate housing, often using flexible financing tools that can create a competitive advantage. In times of heightened market uncertainty, the HIT’s portfolio continues to offer an attractive yield advantage, liquidity, diversification from corporate credit, and defensive positioning relative to other core fixed income managers.

Expense Example

Participants in the HIT incur ongoing expenses related to the management and distribution activities of the HIT, as well as certain other expenses. The expense example in the table above is intended to help participants understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the HIT and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period, July 1, 2023, and held for the entire period ended December 31, 2023.

Actual Expenses The first line of the table above provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. Participants may use the information in this line, together with the amount they invested, to estimate the expenses that they paid over the period. Simply divide the account value by $1,000 (for example, an $800,000 account value divided by $1,000=$800), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Six-Month Period Ended December 31, 2023” to estimate the expenses paid on a particular account during this period.

Hypothetical Expenses (for Comparison Purposes Only): The second line of the table above provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the HIT’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the HIT’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses a participant paid for the period. Participants may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the HIT and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other mutual funds.

Please note that this example is useful in comparing funds’ ongoing costs only. It does not include any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. The HIT does not have such transactional costs, but many other funds do.

Availability of Quarterly Portfolio Schedule 

In addition to disclosure in its Annual and Semi-Annual Reports to Participants, the HIT also files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to its reports on Form N-PORT. The HIT’s Forms N-PORT are available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

Participants may also obtain copies of the information on HIT’s Form N-PORT, without charge, upon request, by calling the HIT at 202-331-8055.

Proxy Voting 

Except for its interest in its wholly owned subsidiary, HIT Advisers LLC, and shares in mutual funds holding short-term or overnight cash, if applicable, the HIT invests exclusively in nonvoting securities and has not deemed it necessary to adopt policies and procedures for the voting of portfolio securities. The HIT has reported information regarding how it voted in matters related to its subsidiary in its most recent filing with the SEC on Form N-PX. This filing is available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec. gov. Participants may also obtain a copy of the HIT’s report on Form N-PX, without charge, upon request, by calling the HIT at 202-331-8055.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Trustees and Participants of American Federation of Labor and Congress of

Industrial Organizations Housing Investment Trust:

Opinion on the Financial Statements 

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations Housing Investment Trust (the “Trust”), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of December 31, 2023, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Trust at December 31, 2023, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Trust’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian and counterparties. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the HIT’s auditor since 2002.

1 Federally tax-exempt bonds collateralized by Ginnie Mae securities.

2 Construction interest rates are the rates charged to the borrower during the construction phase of the project. The permanent interest rates are charged to the borrower during the amortization period of the loan, unless the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development requires that such rates be charged earlier.

3 The HIT may make commitments, including forward commitments, in securities or loans that fund over time on a draw basis or fund at a single point in time. Generally, GNMA construction securities fund over a 12-to-24 month period. Funding periods for State Housing Agency construction securities and Direct Loans vary by project, but generally fund over a one-to-48 month period. Forward commitments generally settle within 12 months of the original commitment date. At period end, unfunded commitments totaled $519.6 million for which unrealized losses of $38.9 million are included in the related Value column of the Schedule of Portfolio Investments for such commitments.

4 For floating and variable rate securities the rate indicated is for the period end. With respect to these securities, the schedule also includes the reference rate and spread in basis points.

5 Securities exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 and were privately placed directly by a state housing agency (a not-for-profit public agency) with the HIT. The securities are backed by mortgages and are general obligations of the state housing agency, and therefore secured by the full faith and credit of said agency. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. These securities are considered liquid, under procedures established by and under the general supervision of the HIT’s Board of Trustees.

6 Date reflects the stated maturity date of the bond. However, the bond is subject to a mandatory tender for purchase in December 2027, which may be extended to December 2028 under certain conditions.

7 Loans insured by Ambac Assurance Corporation, are additionally backed by a repurchase option from the mortgagee for the benefit of the HIT. The repurchase price is defined as the unpaid principal balance of the loan plus all accrued unpaid interest due through the remittance date. The repurchase option can be exercised by the HIT in the event of a payment failure by Ambac Assurance Corporation.

8 The HIT has a participation interest in HIT Advisers, a Delaware limited liability company. HIT Advisers is a New York based adviser currently exempt from investment adviser registration in New York. The investment in HIT Advisers is valued by the HIT’s valuation committee in accordance with the fair value procedures adopted by the HIT’s Board of Trustees, and approximates carrying value of HIT Advisers and its subsidiary on a consolidated basis. The participation interest is not registered under the federal securities laws.

9 Rate indicated is the effective yield at the time of purchase.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) Housing Investment Trust (HIT) is a common law trust created under the laws of the District of Columbia and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (Investment Company Act), as a no-load, open-end investment company. The HIT has obtained certain exemptions from the requirements of the Investment Company Act that are described in the HIT’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. Participation in the HIT is limited to eligible pension plans, state public funds and labor organizations, including health and welfare, general, voluntary employees’ benefit associations and other funds that have beneficiaries who are represented by labor organizations. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the HIT in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. The HIT follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services—Investment Companies.

Investment Valuation

Net asset value per share (NAV) is determined as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m.) of the New York Stock Exchange on the last business day of each calendar month. The HIT’s Board of Trustees is responsible for the valuation process. The HIT’s Board of Trustees has designated the officers of the HIT that comprise the HIT’s Valuation Committee as the “valuation designee” to perform fair valuations of the HIT’s investments pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act. The Valuation Committee, in accordance with the policies and procedures approved by the HIT’s Board of Trustees, is also responsible for evaluating the effectiveness of the HIT’s pricing policies, determining the reliability of third-party pricing information and reporting to the Board of Trustees on valuation matters, including fair value determinations. Following is a description of the valuation methods and inputs applied to the HIT’s major categories of assets. The majority of the HIT’s assets are valued using evaluated prices provided by independent third-party pricing services that are approved by the Board of Trustees. Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued through exchange determined market pricing. For U.S. Treasury securities, independent pricing services generally base evaluated prices on actual transactions as well as dealer-supplied market information. For State Housing Finance Agency securities, independent pricing services generally base evaluated prices using models that utilize trading spreads, new issue scales, verified bid information and credit ratings. For commercial mortgage-backed securities, independent pricing services generally base evaluated prices on cash flow models that take into consideration benchmark yields and utilize available trade information, dealer quotes and market color.

For U.S. agency and government-sponsored enterprise securities, including single family and multifamily mortgage-backed securities, construction mortgage securities and loans and collateralized mortgage obligations, independent pricing services generally base evaluated prices on an active TBA (to-be-announced) market for mortgage pools, discounted cash flow models, or option-adjusted spread models. Independent pricing services examine reference data and use observable inputs such as issue name, issue size, ratings, maturity, call type and spread/benchmark yields, as well as dealer-supplied market information. The discounted cash flow or option-adjusted spread models utilize inputs from matrix pricing, which consider observable market-based discount and prepayment rates, attributes of the collateral, and yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type.

Investments in registered open-end investment management companies are valued based upon the NAV of such investments.

When the HIT finances the construction and permanent securities or participation interests, value is determined based upon the total amount, funded and/or unfunded, of the commitment.

Portfolio investments for which market quotations or independent third-party provider evaluated prices are deemed unreliable or not available are valued at their fair value determined in good faith by the HIT’s Valuation Committee, as valuation designee, pursuant to procedures approved by the HIT’s Board of Trustees. In determining fair market value, the Valuation Committee will employ a valuation method that it believes reflects fair value for that asset, which may include the use of an independent valuation consultant or the utilization of a discounted cash flow model based on broker and/or other market inputs. The frequency with which these fair value procedures may be used cannot be predicted. However, on December 31, 2023 the Valuation Committee fair valued less than 0.01% of the HIT’s net assets utilizing internally derived unobservable inputs.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

Short-term investments acquired with a stated maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value.

The HIT holds a 100% ownership interest, either directly or indirectly in HIT Advisers LLC (HIT Advisers). HIT Advisers is valued at its fair value determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures approved by the HIT’s Board of Trustees, which approximates its respective carrying value.

2023 ANNUAL REPORT 25

Notes to Financial Statements

GAAP establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. The HIT classifies its assets and liabilities into three levels based on the method used to value the assets or liabilities. Level 1 values are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 values are based on significant observable market inputs, such as quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and quoted prices in inactive markets. Level 3 values are based on significant unobservable inputs that reflect the HIT’s determination of assumptions that market participants might reasonably use in valuing the securities.

The following table presents the HIT’s valuation levels as of December 31, 2023:

	Investment Securities

* Net change in unrealized gain (loss) attributable to Level 3 securities held at December 31, 2023 totaled $5,741,000 and is included on the accompanying Statement of Operations.

Transfers into Level 3 category occur when unobservable inputs, such as the HIT’s best estimate of what a market participant would use to determine a fair value price, become more significant to the fair value measurement. For the year ended December 31, 2023, there was one asset transferred from Level 2 into Level 3 to reflect an option of prepayment based on non-public information.

Level 3 securities primarily consist of Direct Loans and one Ginnie Mae Construction Security which were valued using evaluated prices provided by an independent, third-party pricing service as of December 31, 2023 employing a discounted cash flow model. Weighted average lives for the loans

ranged from 0.09 to 4.14 years. Unobservable inputs include spreads to relevant U.S. Treasuries ranging from 168 to 390 basis points. For the Ginnie Mae Construction Security, weighted average life was 3.34 years. A change in unobservable inputs may impact the value of the loans or securities.

Use of Estimates 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal Income Taxes 

The HIT’s policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Internal Revenue Code), that are applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income to its participants. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

Tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the HIT’s tax returns are evaluated to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed for all open years the HIT’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the HIT’s financial statements.

The HIT files U.S. federal, state and local tax returns as required. The HIT’s tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return but could be longer in certain circumstances.

Distributions to Participants 

At the end of each calendar month, a pro-rata distribution is made to participants of the net investment income earned during the month. This pro-rata distribution is based on the participant’s number of units held as of the immediately preceding month-end and excludes realized gains (losses) which are distributed at year-end. Participants redeeming their investments are paid their pro-rata share of undistributed net income accrued through the month-end of the month in which they redeem. The HIT offers a reinvestment plan that permits current participants to automatically reinvest their distributions of income and capital gains, if any, into the HIT’s units of participation. Total reinvestment was approximately 93% of distributed income for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Investment Transactions and Income 

For financial reporting purposes, security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of amortized cost. Realized gains (losses) on paydowns of mortgage- and asset-backed securities are classified as interest income.

Interest income is accrued as earned. Premiums, purchase discounts, and loan origination discounts, including related direct costs, are amortized as adjustments to the related loan’s yield over the contractual life of the loan using the effective interest method. In connection with the prepayment of a loan or security, any remaining unamortized amounts are recognized into income as a gain or loss and, depending upon the terms of the loan, there may be additional income that is earned based upon the prepayment and recognized in the period of the prepayment.

12b-1 Plan of Distribution 

The HIT’s Board of Trustees has approved a Plan of Distribution under Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act to pay for marketing and sales promotion expenses incurred in connection with the offer and sale of units and related distribution activities (12b-1 expenses). For the year ended December 31, 2023, the HIT was authorized to pay 12b-1 expenses in an annual amount up to $600,000 or 0.05% of its average net assets on an annualized basis per fiscal year, whichever was greater. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the HIT incurred approximately $1,091,000, or 0.02% of its average monthly net assets on an annualized basis, in 12b-1 expenses.

2023 ANNUAL REPORT 27

Notes to Financial Statements

Note 2. Investment Risk

Interest Rate Risk 

As with any fixed income investment, the market value of the HIT’s investments will generally fall at times when market interest rates rise. Rising interest rates may also reduce prepayment rates, causing the average life of the HIT’s investments to increase. This could in turn further reduce the value of the HIT’s portfolio.

Prepayment and Extension Risk 

The HIT invests in certain fixed income securities whose value is derived from an underlying pool of mortgage loans that are subject to prepayment and extension risk.

Prepayment risk is the risk that a security will pay more quickly than its assumed payment rate, shortening its expected average life. In such an event, the HIT may be required to reinvest the proceeds of such prepayments in other investments bearing lower interest rates. The majority of the HIT’s securities backed by loans for multifamily projects include restrictions on prepayments for specified periods to mitigate this risk or include prepayment penalties to compensate the HIT. Prepayment penalties, when received, are included in realized gains.

Extension risk is the risk that a security will pay more slowly than its assumed payment rate, extending its expected average life. When this occurs, the HIT’s ability to reinvest principal repayments in higher returning investments may be limited.

These two risks may increase the sensitivity of the HIT’s portfolio to fluctuations in interest rates and negatively affect the value of the HIT’s portfolio.

Credit Risk 

A majority of HIT’s investments have a form of credit enhancement to protect against losses in the event of a default. However, in the event of a default of an underlying mortgage loan where the investment does not have credit enhancement or that an entity providing credit enhancement for an investment fails to meet its obligations under the credit enhancement, the HIT would be subject to the risks that apply to real estate investments generally with respect to that investment. Certain real estate risks include construction failure, loan non-repayment, foreclosure, and environmental and litigation risk.

Futures Contracts 

A futures contract is a standardized, exchange-traded agreement to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying asset at a specified price on a specified day or days in the future. The HIT may use U.S. Treasury futures contracts to manage the interest rate risk of the HIT portfolio. Upon entering into a futures contract, the HIT is required to deposit either cash or securities (Initial Margin) with a clearing broker. Non-cash collateral pledged by the HIT, if any, is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments, and cash collateral, if any, is held in a segregated account with the broker, which is reflected as Cash collateral held with broker in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Positions taken in the futures market are not normally held to maturity but are instead liquidated through offsetting transactions which may result in a profit or a loss. While the HIT will usually liquidate futures contracts in this manner, the HIT may instead make or take delivery of the underlying asset whenever it appears economically advantageous for the HIT to do so.

The HIT may invest up to 5% of its net assets, measured using notional value, in U.S. Treasury futures contracts for duration management purposes. Investments in U.S. Treasury futures contracts may add leverage because the HIT would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the futures contracts. Investments in derivatives can increase the volatility of the HIT’s NAV and may expose it to significant additional costs. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in more traditional securities and instruments. There is no guarantee that the use of derivatives will achieve their intended result.

Any open futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments, which reflects unrealized cumulative appreciation (depreciation). The notional amount at value reflects each contract’s exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. The period end variation margin is reflected as Variation margin due from broker in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and the net cumulative appreciation (depreciation) is included in Net realized and change in unrealized gains (losses) on futures in the Statement of Operations. The average month-end notional amount of short and long futures contracts held was $7.4 million and $58.6 million, respectively, for the period ended December 31, 2023.

Market Risk 

The value of securities held by the HIT may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic, political or regulatory conditions, inflation, changes in interest rates, adverse investor sentiment and other global market developments and disruptions, including those arising out of geopolitical events (such as war), health emergencies (such as pandemics), natural disasters, terrorism, supply chain disruptions, sanctions and government or quasi-government actions. It Is difficult to predict when events affecting the U.S or global financial markets may occur.

Note 4. Leases 

The HIT leases certain real estate properties for office space which are classified as operating leases. The HIT also leases equipment which is classified as a financing lease. The leases are included in right-of-use (ROU) assets on the HIT’s statement of assets and liabilities. ROU assets represent the HIT’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease obligations represent the HIT’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and obligations are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the HIT’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the HIT uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date of the lease in determining the present value of lease payments. The HIT determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The HIT’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the HIT will exercise that option. Lease expense and amortization expense are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Note 5. Commitments 

The HIT may make commitments, including forward commitments, in securities or loans that fund over time on a draw basis or fund at a single point in time. The HIT agrees to an interest rate and purchase price for these securities or loans when the commitment to purchase is originated.

Certain assets of the HIT are invested in liquid investments until they are required to fund these purchase commitments. As of December 31, 2023, the HIT had outstanding unfunded purchase commitments of approximately $519.6 million. The HIT maintains a sufficient level of liquid securities of no less than the total of the outstanding unfunded purchase commitments. As of December 31, 2023, the value of liquid securities, less short-term investments, maintained in a custodial trading account was approximately $6.2 billion.

Note 6. Investment Transactions 

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities and U.S. Treasury securities, for the year ended December 31, 2023, were $1.0 billion and $187.7 million, respectively.

Note 7. Income Taxes 

No provision for federal income taxes is required since the HIT intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute to shareholders all of its taxable income and gains. Federal income tax regulations differ from GAAP; therefore, distributions determined in accordance with tax regulations may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records were adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character.

The tax character of distributions paid during 2023 and 2022 were as follows:

(dollars in thousands)	2023	2022
Ordinary Investment Income	$ 215,874	$ 160,154
Total Distributions Paid to Participants or Reinvested	$ 215,874	$ 160,154

Notes to Financial Statements

continued

As of December 31, 2023, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

(dollars in thousands)	2023
Accumulated Capital Loss Carryforward	$	(98,006	)
Unrealized Depreciation		(795,490	)
Undistributed Ordinary Income		3,603
Other Temporary Differences		(5,043)
Total Accumulated Losses	$	(894,936	)

During 2023, the HIT accumulated a capital loss carryforward of $98,006,000, consisting of $13,571,000 short-term and $84,435,000 long-term capital losses, which may be used to offset future capital gains for an unlimited period.

The differences between book basis and tax basis components are primarily attributed to wash sales, recognition for tax purposes of unrealized gains (losses) on certain derivative instruments and the tax treatment of deferred compensation plans, accrued expenses and depreciation. For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. These reclassifications are primarily due to the different book and tax treatment of meals and entertainment and insurance premiums paid. Results of operations and net assets are not affected by these reclassifications.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the HIT recorded the following permanent reclassifications:

(dollars in thousands)	2023
Distributable earnings (accumulated losses)	$	313
Amount Invested and Reinvested by Current Participants	$	(313	)

At December 31, 2023, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $7,337,371,000. Net unrealized loss aggregated $795,490,000 at period-end, of which $24,815,000 related to appreciated investments and $820,305,000 related to depreciated investments.

Note 8. Retirement and Deferred Compensation Plans 

The HIT participates in the AFL-CIO Staff Retirement Plan (Plan), which is a multiemployer defined benefit pension plan, under the terms of a collective bargaining agreement. The Plan covers substantially all employees, including non-bargaining unit employees. The risks of participating in a multiemployer plan are different from a single-employer plan in the following aspects:

a. Assets contributed to a multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers.

b. If a participating employer stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers based on their level of contributions to the plan.

c. If the HIT chooses to stop participating in its multiemployer plan, the HIT may be required to pay the plan an amount based on the HIT’s share of the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability.

The HIT’s participation in the Plan for the year ended December 31, 2023, is outlined in the table below. The “EIN/Pension Plan Number” line provides the Employer Identification Number (EIN) and the three-digit plan number. The most recent Pension Protection Act (PPA) zone status available as of December 31, 2023 is for the 2021 Plan year ended at June 30, 2022. The zone status is based on information that the HIT received from the Plan and is certified by the Plan’s actuary. Among other factors, plans in the red zone are generally less than 65% funded, plans in the yellow zone are less than 80% funded, and plans in the green zone are at least 80% funded. The “FIP/RP Status Pending/Implemented” line indicates whether a financial improvement plan (FIP) or a rehabilitation plan (RP) is either pending or has been implemented. The HIT was listed in the Plan’s Form 5500 as providing more than 5% of the total contributions for the following plan year:

Pension Fund: AFL-CIO Staff Retirement Plan (dollars in thousands)

EIN/Pension Plan Number	53-0228172 / 001
2022 Plan Year PPA Zone Status	Green
FIP/RP Status Pending/ Implemented	No
2023 Contributions1	$2,127
2023 Contribution Rate	24%
Surcharge Imposed	No
Expiration Date of Collective Bargaining Agreement	04/01/2024

1. Included in salaries and fringe benefits expense line items on the Statement of Operations.

The HIT was listed in the Plan’s Form 5500 as providing more than 5% of the total contributions for the following plan year:

	Year Contributions to Plan Exceeded
Pension Fund	5 Percent of Total Contributions
AFL-CIO Staff Retirement Plan	20211

1. The 2021 plan year ended at June 30, 2022.

At the date the HIT financial statements were issued, the Plan’s Form 5500 was not available for the plan year ended June 30, 2023.

The HIT also sponsors a deferred compensation plan, referred to as a 401(k) plan, covering all employees. This plan permits employees to defer the lesser of 100% of their total compensation or the applicable Internal Revenue Service limit. During 2023, the HIT matched dollar for dollar the first $6,400 of each employee’s contributions. The HIT’s 401(k) contribution of approximately $254,600 was included in the salaries and fringe benefits expense line items on the Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Note 9. Contract Obligations 

In the ordinary course of business, the HIT enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The HIT’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the HIT has not had any prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be low.

Note 10. Subsequent Events 

The HIT evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were available for issue and determined there were no additional material events that would require adjustment to or disclosure in the HIT’s financial statements.
