WASHINGTON, D.C. – Fannie Mae (FNMA/OTC) priced its fifth Multifamily DUS^® REMIC in 2014 totaling $1.24 billion under its Fannie Mae Guaranteed Multifamily Structures (Fannie Mae GeMS^™) program on May 9, 2014. 

“There was huge demand for short floaters this month.  We created a floater off of a block of seasoned Fixed + 1^™ securities to meet some of that demand and also issued a 5-year fixed-rate bond,” said Josh Seiff, Fannie Mae Vice President of Multifamily Capital Markets.  “Investor response was very positive, we were several times oversubscribed. This was the first GeMS deal using this type of fixed/floater hybrid collateral. It was a great chance for us to use a creative structure to help match up supply from our portfolio with continued strong investor demand in the space.”
