WASHINGTON, May 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Fannie Mae (OTCQB: FNMA) priced a $691 million Multifamily DUS
® REMIC under its Fannie Mae Guaranteed Multifamily Structures (Fannie Mae GeMS™) program on May 12, 2021. FNA 2021-M13 marks the sixth Fannie Mae GeMS issuance of 2021.
"With the M13, Fannie Mae marks another milestone in the market's transition away from LIBOR with its first CMBS backed by Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR)-indexed collateral," said Dan Dresser, Senior Vice President, Multifamily Capital Markets & Pricing. "The Group 1 collateral comprises our ARM 7-6 capped, floating-rate product, which has been SOFR-based since late 2020. The M13 also includes two fixed-rate groups of collateral and marks another GeMS program first with an A3 tranche backed by 12-year collateral. The A3 tranche offers a more call-protected option for investors requiring a more predictable maturity window. We continue to look for ways to attract new investors to the DUS and GeMS market and to help transition the market away from LIBOR."
