Freddie Mac

Freddie Mac
USA
Common term for the Federal Home Loan and Mortgage Corporation. Freddie Mac was created in 1970 as a publicly traded corporation to compete with Fannie Mae. These entities 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.
