Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation operates in the Financial Services sector, specifically within the Mortgage Finance industry. This industry encompasses companies that provide financing for residential and commercial mortgages, including originating, servicing, securitizing, and investing in mortgage loans. As a government-sponsored enterprise (GSE), Freddie Mac plays a critical role in the U.S. housing finance system by ensuring a continuous flow of funds to mortgage lenders. Its activities help stabilize mortgage markets and make homeownership more accessible. The Mortgage Finance industry is heavily regulated and sensitive to interest rate changes, housing market conditions, and government policies.

Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation is headquartered in McLean, Virginia, United States. The company primarily serves the U.S. secondary mortgage market, operating nationwide. Its clients include mortgage banking companies, commercial banks, regional banks, community banks, credit unions, housing finance agencies (HFAs), savings institutions, non-depository institutions, insurance companies, money managers, central banks, pension funds, state and local governments, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and brokers and dealers. By purchasing loans from lenders and packaging them into mortgage-backed securities, Freddie Mac provides liquidity to the housing market across all 50 states. Its operations are focused solely on the United States, with no international markets mentioned in its business description.

Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation generates revenue primarily through its two business segments: Single-Family and Multifamily. In the Single-Family segment, it earns guarantee fees for assuming credit risk on mortgage loans it securitizes, as well as income from its mortgage-related investments portfolio and treasury activities. The Multifamily segment earns revenue from guarantee fees on multifamily loans, securitization activities (including issuance of K certificates), and investment income from multifamily loans and securities. Additionally, Freddie Mac manages mortgage credit and market risk across both segments, which can affect its profitability. The company does not originate loans directly but instead purchases loans from lenders, providing them with capital to issue new mortgages. Its business model relies on the spread between interest earned on its investments and the cost of funding, along with fee-based income from securitization and guarantee services.
