Company brought new flexibility to meet investor needs and increase liquidity, stability, affordability in multifamily market

MCLEAN, Va., Jan. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC) issued $56 billion of securities through its multifamily risk transfer platform in 2024, transferring interest rate risk, liquidity risk and the majority of expected credit risk away from U.S. taxpayers to private investors. A leading issuer of multifamily securities, Freddie Mac Multifamily settled $27.7 billion in K-Deals®, the company’s signature offering, along with $22.1 billion in Multi PC® issuances over the year. In 2024, the company adapted to meet market demands by introducing Giant PCs and multi-sponsor Q-Deals, along with other innovations, and surpassed the milestone of $24 billion in total issuances for its mission-driven Impact Bonds since the program’s inception in 2019.

“In 2024, Freddie Mac Multifamily showed once again how a determined, creative and flexible team can adapt to changing markets to meet the needs of investors and advance our mission,” said Jason Griest, vice president of Multifamily Securitization for Freddie Mac. “We are proud of the progress we made over the past year, especially in a challenging business environment. Working with our Capital Markets stakeholders, we meaningfully enhanced and expanded our platform to better support liquidity, stability and affordability in the multifamily market and for renters in communities nationwide.”

In 2024, Freddie Mac Multifamily expanded its capabilities by adding Multifamily Giant PCs to its securitization platform, offering investors an additional re-securitization capability to manage their portfolios more efficiently and increase opportunities for mission-driven impact offerings. In addition, Freddie Mac introduced multi-sponsor Q-Deals in 2024 to expand access to liquidity for small financial institutions, sponsors and originators supporting affordable housing around the country.

Over the course of the year, Freddie Mac Multifamily adapted to borrower and market demands by issuing both fixed- and floating-rate bonds via 5-year K-Deals. Also new for 2024 was an enhancement to the company’s ML-Deal® program that created the capacity to exchange a municipal CUSIP registration for a corporate CUSIP registration, and vice versa, to provide increased liquidity for both municipal and mortgage-focused investors.
  
As part of Freddie Mac Multifamily’s ongoing commitment to affordable, quality rental housing, the company issued $4.3 billion of Impact Bonds in 2024, surpassing $24 billion in total issuances over the life of the program. The company was recognized for the third year in a row by Environmental Finance, earning the 2024 Sustainability Bond of the Year – Agency for ML-20, which financed loans securing properties with units that are overwhelmingly affordable and have an environmental impact.

Freddie Mac has settled $738 billion in Multifamily securities through its K-Deal and various other risk-transfer offerings since the inception of the program in 2009. In 2024, the company was recognized by GlobalCapital as the CMBS Issuer of the Year and was awarded Deal of the Year for a Single-Asset Single-Borrower transaction, K-PLB2, backed by Park La Brea Apartments in Los Angeles, which provides more than 4,200 units of workforce housing.

In 2024, the company settled:

  • $27.7 billion in K-Deals, including $2.9 billion through When-Issued K-Deals
  • $22.1 billion in Multi PCs, including $832.3 million through newly issued company-initiated Giant PCs and $186.4 million through newly issued company-initiated P-Deals
  • $1.5 billion in SB-Deals®
