Freddie Mac (officially the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation) is a government-sponsored enterprise that, along with its sister agency the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae ), creates liquidity in the residential mortgage market by guaranteeing, purchasing, securitizing, and investing in home loans.
