Why is Freddie Mac issuing FreddieNotes securities?
Freddie Mac began selling debt securities to the retail market in 1995 in response to requests from the dealer community. Our FreddieNotes securities program is a more focused approach to issuing and distributing retail debt securities that enables Freddie Mac to diversify its investor base and tap new sources of funding. In this way, Freddie Mac lowers the cost of mortgage credit and fulfills our public mission of providing a continuous flow of funds to mortgage lenders in support of homeownership and rental housing.
