MultiLender Swaps

The Benefits of a Swap, with Lower Minimum Requirements

Through our MultiLender Swap execution, you can trade your mortgages for Freddie Mac securities. A MultiLender Swap gives you a prorated share of a Freddie Mac PC. Your minimum commitment amount is $1,000 with MultiLender Swap, allowing you to reap the benefits of a Guarantor execution for only a few mortgages.

When you swap your loans for Freddie Mac securities through our MultiLender Swap execution and sell them to a dealer, you can replenish your funds and make more loans, maximizing your origination fee income and increasing your servicing portfolio or your servicing-released premium income.

Enhancements Announced March 24, 2004
As we announced with our March 24 Industry Letter [PDF 78K], we're enhancing our MultiLender Swap execution, starting with programmatic changes today. Effective with MultiLender Swap PC Pools posted April 1 for settlement on and after July 1, you'll swap conventional 15- and 30-year fixed-rate mortgages for Giant PCs instead of Gold PCs®, without a fee. The Giant PC will be made up of Gold PCs backed by mortgages sold through both our cash paths and the MultiLender Swap execution. With this change, we're creating a capability that will be used to expand and enhance this execution by issuing large, liquid, and more predictable securities.

You will continue to receive Gold PCs in exchange for:

  • 20-year fixed-rate mortgages delivered for 20-year PC Pools (but a Giant PC if delivered into 30-year fixed-rate Giant PC Pools)
  • 5- and 7-year balloon/reset mortgages
  • FHA/VA, Section 184 Native American, and Section 502 Guaranteed Rural Housing mortgages

Beginning with MultiLender PC pools posted on April 1 for settlements on and after July 1, you will see the following changes:

  • 15-year Giant PC pools will be identified with the "G1" PC prefix
  • 30-year Giant PC pools will be identified with the "G0" PC prefix.

There are no changes to commitments, contract options, delivery requirements, pooling and settlement procedures, and no change to the Gold Rush funding option.

 

Lender Benefits

MultiLender Swaps let you exchange one or more loans for an equal dollar amount of Freddie Mac securities, and allow you to choose Gold Rush® funding at delivery, so you can settle at any time.

Just 45 days after a Gold PC is issued, the investor receives the first payment.

Then in every month that follows, the investor receives a payment just 14 days after the borrower's scheduled principal and interest are due. The obvious benefit of these features is that you can begin to receive current return quickly and efficiently for re-investment.
In addition to speed, several factors make the PC a standard:
{short description of image} Guaranteed timely payment of both interest and scheduled principal
{short description of image} Immediate eligibility as collateral for GOLD MACS®, REMICS, Giants, etc.
{short description of image} Settle on your PC whenever you want-even overnight. Under the MultiLender Swap execution, you can settle throughout the month, except for the last five business days.
{short description of image} Gold Rush funding offers the fastest swap execution in the business. With Gold Rush, you can deliver your loans up to the day before settlement.
