Fannie Mae buys mortgages from lenders, holds some, and packages others into mortgage-backed securities (MBS) sold to investors to provide liquidity for new lending. It operates in the secondary mortgage market, where originated loans are sold to Fannie Mae, then either held or securitized into MBS and sold; it earns fees for guaranteeing timely payments and interest on held mortgages. It differentiates itself as a government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) with a long-standing role in promoting affordable housing and community initiatives. Its goal is to maintain stable, affordable access to housing by ensuring lenders have funds to offer mortgages and by securitizing debt to support the U.S. housing finance system.

Norway's sovereign wealth fund has proposed cutting government bonds from 70% to 50% of its benchmark, potentially selling $75-80 billion in US Treasuries. The fund wants greater exposure to agency mortgage-backed securities instead. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent suggested Norway could swap Treasuries for assets like Fannie Mae stock. However, Norway's proposal involves mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by Fannie Mae, not the company's shares. Fannie Mae reported $4 billion in net income for Q2, up from $3.7 billion in Q1. The government-sponsored enterprise remains under federal conservatorship since 2008. Analysts maintain a "hold" rating on Fannie Mae shares, with an average price target suggesting 54% upside. The company is scheduled to report Q3 results on 4 November, with analysts expecting earnings per share of $0.66.

Latest round of Fannie Mae senior staff layoffs has multifamily sector anxious. Multifamily lenders that work with Fannie Mae are reportedly worried about business continuity after the government-sponsored enterprise eliminated roughly a dozen staff last week. The staffing reductions included executives who dealt with multifamily loans and low-income housing tax credit investments, along with finance, regulatory and communications officials, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday. News of the departures has rattled some executives across the mortgage industry who worry they could impact Fannie Mae's ability to provide price stability in the mortgage market, the WSJ reported. Fannie Mae is overseen by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which is led by Bill Pulte, a longtime ally and booster of President Donald Trump who has worked to put his stamp on the GSEs, including Freddie Mac. A person familiar with the staffing moves said they were related to new technology solutions and increased efficiency inside the agency. "These positions have been planned to be transitioned out as part of redundant efforts as part of ongoing efficiencies," the person said. "We have no concerns about continuity of operations." The FHFA declined a request for comment on the layoffs. Some of the officials who were let go were notified Wednesday that their positions had been eliminated. "Technology is improving and providing opportunities for us to remove unnecessary processes and unfortunately at times personnel," Pulte posted to X after the WSJ story first published. Senior staff turnover has been high since Pulte took the helm at the FHFA. Less than a week after the Senate confirmed Pulte to the post, eight Fannie Mae board members left and were replaced by four Pulte appointees, with six departing Freddie Mac and being replaced by three new appointees. Pulte made himself chair of both boards in a move that Politico described at the time as highly unusual. One of those board members, an ally of Elon Musk and engineer at SpaceX named Christopher Stanley, resigned after less than two days on the job. Fannie Mae also swapped CEOs in October, when Priscilla Almodovar, who had been in the role since 2022, resigned and was replaced by then-Chief Operating Officer Peter Akwaboah. The senior staffing shake-ups have disproportionately affected women, who went from holding two-thirds of senior roles to less than half. In April, Pulte also ousted more than 100 staffers he accused of engaging in unethical conduct, most of whom were of Indian descent. In October, roughly a dozen of Fannie Mae's ethics staffers were fired without explanation. A group of 41 of employees ousted in April is suing the agency's CEO and the FHFA for defamation, alleging the employees were being improperly smeared.
Fannie Mae has reportedly cut at least 10 senior employees this week, including top leaders, according to The Wall Street Journal. Several officials were told on Wednesday their positions had been eliminated. The senior departures have raised industry concerns that Fannie Mae's ability to maintain stability in mortgage prices and market activity could be weakened. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac support the mortgage market by purchasing mortgages, packaging them for investors, and guaranteeing payments if borrowers default. The cuts come as Federal Housing Finance Agency director Bill Pulte pursues rapid changes at both government-sponsored enterprises. Pulte has removed directors and senior leaders, appointed himself chairman of both boards, and pushed for the companies to become publicly traded.
