Fannie Mae (FNMA) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Fannie Mae, formally known as the Federal National Mortgage Association, is a government-sponsored enterprise that supports liquidity and stability in the U.S. housing finance system. The company does not generally lend directly to homebuyers. Instead, it purchases qualifying residential mortgages from approved lenders, providing those institutions with funds to originate additional loans.

Fannie Mae finances its activities primarily by issuing debt and mortgage-backed securities. It also guarantees the timely payment of principal and interest on many mortgage-backed securities backed by the loans it purchases. Its business includes single-family and multifamily housing finance, with products and programs designed to support homeownership, affordable housing and rental housing markets across the United States.

Founded in 1938, Fannie Mae became a publicly traded company in 1968. Along with Freddie Mac, it was placed into conservatorship under the Federal Housing Finance Agency in 2008 during the U.S. housing and financial crisis. Fannie Mae remains headquartered in Washington, D.C., and operates under a federal charter while serving mortgage lenders, borrowers and housing providers throughout the United States.
