The Act came about as a result of pressure to provide competition to Fannie Mae, which is another federally chartered company that does much the same thing. There was concern in the investment community that without this competition, government guaranteed mortgages would crowd out the market, which would be detrimental to non-guaranteed mortgages. Both Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were put in federal receivership in 2008. |
