Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[JOoa0ky]

Because negative net worth for 60 straight days is what triggers mandatory receivership under HERA. See 12 USC 4617(a)(4)(A)(i):

Quote:
(4) Mandatory receivership
(A) In general
The Director shall appoint the Agency as receiver for a regulated entity if the Director determines, in writing, that—
(i) the assets of the regulated entity are, and during the preceding 60 calendar days have been, less than the obligations of the regulated entity to its creditors and others


It has nothing to do with cash flow, profitability, cash in the bank, etc. Only balance sheet net worth: assets minus liabilities.

And so was there language under HERA that excluded DTAs? I will make an inference and say no because otherwise FnF would've been in receivership instead of the now conservatorship.


Anyway...
"The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (Pub.L. 110–289, 122 Stat. 2654, enacted July 30, 2008) (commonly referred to as HERA) was designed primarily to address the subprime mortgage crisis. It authorized the Federal Housing Administration to guarantee up to $300 billion in new 30-year fixed rate mortgages for subprime borrowers if lenders wrote down principal loan balances to 90 percent of current appraisal value. It was intended to restore confidence in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac by strengthening regulations and injecting capital into the two large U.S. suppliers of mortgage funding. States are authorized to refinance subprime loans using mortgage revenue bonds. Enactment of the Act led to the government conservatorship of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac."



HERA was created to address the SUBprime mortgage crisis. With the removal of that portion of FnF's portfolio as has been done over the past 12 years... Its technically not even relevant anymore by any standards. Its like you get malaria and you take chloroquinine but after you recover you keep taking it just because FHFA says so.



The capital was not the issue. It was engaging in risky businesses.
