Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation generates revenue primarily through its operations in the secondary mortgage market. The company earns income by purchasing mortgage loans from lenders, securitizing them into mortgage-backed securities, and guaranteeing the timely payment of principal and interest to investors. It charges guarantee fees for assuming the credit risk on these loans. Additionally, Freddie Mac manages a portfolio of mortgage-related investments and earns net interest income from the spread between the yield on its assets and the cost of funding. The company's two segments, Single-Family and Multifamily, both contribute to revenue through similar mechanisms, with the Multifamily segment also involved in issuing multifamily K certificates.
