expectations continue to decline, we believe the total return potential and current dividend yield of approximately 7,0 % from U.S. REIT preferred securities is favorable both on an absolute and relative basis. With market volatility on the rise, we believe U.S. REIT preferred securities offer strong capital preservation characteristics which make the asset class defensive in times of uncertainty. We expect that the cash flows underlying the preferred security will grow in 2016, resulting in better balance sheets and better cash flow coverage ratios. For all the factors mentioned above, we are positive on the market for U.S. REIT preferred shares in 2016 and believe that a mid-to-high single digit current yield supported by growing cash flow will lead to an attractive total return for investors over the next 12 months.
