Fannie Mae operates in the U.S. housing finance market, focusing on making housing more affordable for homeowners, homebuyers, and renters. The company achieves this by purchasing mortgages from lenders, which provides these lenders with the cash flow needed to offer more loans. Fannie Mae's business model includes holding some of these mortgages in its portfolio and packaging others into mortgage-backed securities (MBS) that are sold to investors. This process helps to distribute risk and inject capital back into the housing market, ensuring that lenders can continue to provide new mortgages. Fannie Mae generates revenue through fees for guaranteeing MBS payments and from interest on its mortgage portfolio. The company aims to maintain the stability and affordability of the housing market while also engaging in community service and promoting diversity and inclusion within its workforce.
