HUD Seeks Public Comments on Proposed Rule for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Non-Mortgage Investments

Summary

The Secretary of HUD is requesting public input on a potential new rule that would regulate non-mortgage investments by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, two government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) that have broad investment authority under their charters, but are subject to HUD's regulatory oversight to ensure they align with the purposes of the 1992 Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act.
