Fannie Mae

Fannie Mae
USA
Common term for the Federal National Mortgage Association. Fannie Mae was created by the federal government in 1938 to create a secondary market for mortgages by buying mortgages from lenders and was later converted into a publicly traded corporation. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac buy mortgage loans from originators and then securitize (securitization) them to sell to investors as mortgage-backed securities (MBSs). They also earn profits for their shareholders by purchasing MBSs issued by other institutions.
