Freddie Mac’s mortgage securities are not rated. They carry an implied AAA rating because market participants consider Freddie Mac’s guarantee of timely payment and selection criteria of mortgages backing the securities as providing top credit quality. The rating agencies do provide ratings for other Freddie Mac products and can be found on the following Freddie Mac Credit Ratings webpage.
