Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac shares surge after federal agencies reveal privatization path (Reuters) -Shares of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the mortgage giants under U.S. government control since 2008, surged to multi-year highs on Friday after federal agencies revealed a framework for their "orderly" release from conservatorship. The U.S. Treasury Department and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) said on Thursday they had amended their agreements with the companies to help ensure that their eventual exit from conservatorship is not disruptive. Exiting conservatorship would mark a key milestone for Fannie and Freddie, which were created by the Congress to support the housing market by ensuring affordable mortgage financing, but crumbled after being severely bruised during the 2008 financial crisis.

Whalen Global Advisors chairman Chris Whalen joins Julie Hyman and Jared Blikre to discuss what going private would mean for mortgage companies and the competitive landscape that they would be entering by leaving their government conservatorship. Whalen outlines Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's current function in the mortgage space, saying, "The Fannie [and] Freddie people really control the fat middle of the market." He adds, "They perform a very important function, but they compete with the banks on the high end and they also compete with Ginnie Mae [the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA)] on the low end." "I think they are playing with fire here to some degree because Fannie and Freddie are going to have to compete with the banks, and they're going to have to compete with the non-bank issuers who have become extremely competitive over the past decade," Whalen says. For investors, he says Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac going private isn't necessarily good news. "Are these companies going to be good long-term investments for retail investors? I would say no," Whalen says, adding, "The long-term prospects, I think, is a big question mark."
