WASHINGTON, DC – Fannie Mae (FNMA/OTC) announced today that the company issued approximately $5.7 billion1 of multifamily MBS in the third quarter of 2013, backed by new multifamily loans delivered by its lenders.  Fannie Mae also resecuritized $1.7 billion of DUS® MBS through its Fannie Mae Guaranteed Multifamily Structures (Fannie Mae GeMSTM) program in the third quarter. 

“We have continued to supply consistent liquidity to the multifamily market, with issuance topping $21.5 billion so far this year,” said Manny Menendez, Senior Vice President of Multifamily Capital Markets & Pricing, Fannie Mae.  “Although higher rates and the annual summer slowdown combined to reduce DUS issuance in the third quarter, the Capital Markets desk kept the investor community involved with sales of seasoned collateral from our portfolio, including two GeMS deals.  Both deals included floating-rate tranches structured from fixed-rate collateral to help investors adjust to the rising rate environment.” 

The company’s DUS MBS securities provide market participants with highly predictable cash flows and call protection in defined maturities of five, seven and ten years.  Fannie Mae’s GeMS program consists of structured multifamily securities created from collateral specifically selected by Fannie Mae Capital Markets.  Features of Fannie Mae GeMS have included block size transactions, collateral diversity and pricing close to par through Fannie Mae’s multifamily REMICs (ACES®) and multifamily Mega securities. 

Highlights of Fannie Mae’s multifamily activity in the third quarter of 2013 include the following:

1)  MULTIFAMILY MBS BACKED BY NEW MULTIFAMILY ISSUANCE

New multifamily MBS business volumes in the third quarter of 2013 totaled approximately $5.7 billion.    

2)  FANNIE MAE STRUCTURED PRODUCTS ISSUANCE

Issuance of Fannie Mae GeMS securities created from collateral selected by Multifamily Capital Markets totaled $1.7 billion in the third quarter of 2013; this included two Fannie Mae GeMS REMIC transactions.  In addition, Wells Fargo sponsored the fourth non-GeMS ACES REMIC of 2013, backed by $414 million of its own DUS MBS.

3)  FANNIE MAE CAPITAL MARKETS SALES

Fannie Mae Capital Markets sold approximately $2.7 billion of multifamily mortgage securities from its portfolio in the second quarter of 2013.2
