Definition 2.
Also known as Freddie Mac. A private, shareholder-owned company that was chartered by Congress in 1970 to create a secondary market in conventional mortgages, thus increasing the supply of funds available to prospective homebuyers. The FHLMC purchases mortgages from federally-insured financial institutions and resells them in the form of mortgage-backed securities, which it guarantees. FHLMC is often called a "government-sponsored corporation" because it was created by Congress and is regulated differently than other corporations.
