LIHTC Equity Market Update

May 20, 2015

L I H T C E q u i t y M a r k e t O v e r v i e w

The market demand for housing tax credit investments has never been stronger…..and there is no sign of that demand letting up at any point in the foreseeable future….and why should it? U.S. bank profits continue to expand The modest annual growth in the annual volume cap

is literally swamped by growth on the demand side LIHTC investment yields…even in their current “free

fall” state are still superior to most investment alternatives

Thanks to your friends the accountants… the financial statement reporting for LIHTC investments is vastly improved

There are no legislative threats to our biggest demand engine – the Community Reinvestment Act

I only see one dark cloud on the horizon….Tax Reform….and for those who say that this particular cloud will never burst….I would remind them that a certain amount of rain is inevitable……even in California

W h e r e w i l l t h e e q u i t y m a r k e t b e a t t h i s p o i n t i n 2 0 1 6 ?

The precise answer to this question is….I don’t have a clue...and don’t trust anyone that tells you they know the answer

What I do know is that demand will continue to be strong and so I would predict that everyone in this room that shows up for work everyday will have a job

My intuition is that the increase in tax credit pricing will taper off at some point….we will see interest rates rise and the market will start moving towards something that resembles equilibrium

I do not believe the GSE’s will return in their traditional roles

I believe we will see the beginning of LIHTC industry consolidation in 2015/2016

As far as tax reform is concerned? Same answer as above….I have no clue…. what I do know is that everyone that cares about the housing credit has a role to play in its preservation
