This pursuit of yield has contributed to the opportunity to own select gaming companies across the Funds. In the U.S., Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ:WYNN), which we own in the Partners, Small-Cap and Global Funds, trades at 9.5x projected EBITDA and has a dividend yield of 2.1%. Its comparable peer, Las Vegas Sands, has a dividend yield of over 5% and trades at 15.0x EBITDA. Similarly, in Macau, Melco Crown, the operating business for the casinos we own in the International and Global Funds through Melco International, has a dividend yield of 0.5% and is dramatically cheaper at 9.2x EBITDA than its competitor, Sands China, which has a 5.9% dividend yield and trades at 15.6x EBITDA.
