For the second consecutive year Freddie Mac's Structured Agency Credit Risk (STACR®) debt notes have been named RMBS Deal of the Year by Global Capital, a leading financial news and data service covering the capital markets. Freddie Mac also earned top honors for Best Overall Securitization Issuer and Best RMBS Issuer.
These are one of the premier capital markets awards that pay tribute to the achievements of issuers, investors, banks and law firms in the past 12 months. The awards are the result of a poll for nominees and open voting from industry members.
The first STACR transaction in 2013 sparked demand that has been growing steadily. Freddie Mac was the first agency to market credit risk transfer transactions with STACR, Whole Loan SecuritiesSM (WLSSM) and Agency Credit Insurance Structure (ACIS®) and has since grown its investor base to more than 200 unique investors, including many of the largest money managers in the U.S.
Previous awards are 2015 STACR Deal of the Year by GlobalCapital, 2014 Global Structured Deal of the Year by Euromoney and 2014 U.S. Deal of the Year by The Banker.

Only after rounds negotiations, inspections and paperwork, do you finally get handed the keys to the front door.

When it comes to big data and how companies use it in their internal operations, one phrase comes to mind: 'vocational irony.' While it may be obscure, it's meaning is so common that it's become cliche in narrative fiction. The barefoot children of a cobbler. The broke accountant. The lovesick relationship expert. Or, more aptly, the technology company that provides cutting edge financial models for their customers while their internal machinery remains firmly rooted in the 20th century.
