The GSEs increased their credit-risk transfers by 30.4 percent in 2016 from the previous year. This means that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac both hit their risk-transfer targets by executing different forms of CRTs that covered $548.0 billion of mortgages, according to a recent report from the Federal Housing Finance Agency.“Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have made credit risk transfer a regular part of their business and they continue to improve and expand the scope of their programs and explore different transaction structures,” said FHFA Director Melvin Watt. The FHFA directed the GSEs to transfer credit risk on 90 percent of their targeted business: long-term, fixed-rate mortgages with loan-to-value ratios exceeding 60 percent.
