Federal Home Loan Mortgage 

Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FMCCH) holds a prominent position in the United States' secondary mortgage market. The company primarily focuses on purchasing residential mortgage loans, encompassing both single-family homes and multi-unit properties, directly from the lenders who originated them. Additionally, it allocates capital into both mortgage loans and various securities linked to the mortgage sector. The corporation organizes its activities into two specialized divisions: 1. Single-family: This segment is dedicated to the acquisition, securitization, and backing of loans for individual residences. It actively manages the inherent credit risk of these mortgages, oversees its portfolio of mortgage-related investments, directs single-family securitization efforts, and manages its treasury functions. Its clientele is extensive, comprising mortgage banking companies, a spectrum of commercial, regional, and community banks, credit unions, housing finance agencies, savings institutions, and non-depository financial institutions. 2. Multifamily: This division concentrates on properties containing multiple dwellings. It engages in the procurement, disposition, securitization, and guarantee of multifamily loans and related securities. This includes issuing specific certificates (such as multifamily K and SB), guaranteeing other securitized offerings, developing various credit risk transfer solutions, and providing additional mortgage-related assurances. This segment serves a wide array of institutions, including banks and other deposit-taking organizations, insurance firms, asset managers, central banks, pension funds, state and local government entities, real estate investment trusts, brokers, dealers, and diverse lending institutions. The company was founded in 1970 and is based in McLean, Virginia.
