This section is classified as non-objective research(most recent reporting is as of August 2011).Through a combination of run-off and possibly somesales, Fannie has managed throughout the year tosteadily shrink their retained mortgage portfolio, andwe expect that will continue into year-end.Debt Composition Shifts as WellAs shown in Chart 1, as the mortgage portfolio hasdeclined, so has aggregate debt outstanding. Chart 2breaks down the debt portfolio into short term(original maturity < 1 year) debt, and callable andnon-callable long term debt. Noncallable long termdebt is actually growing outright, while both shortterm and callable debt outstanding has sharplydeclined.The drop in callable debt is material, particularlyconsidering the sequence of callable redemptionwaves of the past year given the low rateenvironment. Callable issuance has been highacross all of the GSEs due to the redemptions, butas we’ve noted in prior research and we show inTable 1, the GSEs have been aggressivelyrestructuring their debt portfolios and reducingcallable debt. Fannie’s callable debt outstanding hasdropped by UDS 69bn year-to-date, while their shorttermdebt has climbed by UDS 37bn. Overall theirdebt portfolio has shrunk UDS 52bn and we expectthat trend to continue into year-end, and in-line withthe UDS 81bn required drop in their retained portfolioyear-over-year.As a percentage of their debt outstanding (lastcolumn in Table 1), callables have been reduced by7.4% while noncallable and short term debt hasrisen. Although noncallable debt has grown only 1%this year, it actually jumped from 48% to 53% of totaldebt outstanding YOY in 2010. This is almostcertainly a reflection of the longer duration and lowerconvexity in the mortgage portfolio, which results inless needs to buy vol (issue callables) on the liabilityside.Further prepays of high coupon mortgages will onlyintensify this trend. Going forward, we expect that netcallable issuance from Fannie and Freddie will shrinkmaterially next year, though some of those fundingneeds will shift to bullets and discount notes. Overall,the continued contraction of the portfolio may keepcallable financing levels rich and put pressure onagency debt spreads due to the low supply.Mary-Beth Fisher 27 October 2011<strong>Market</strong> <strong>Mover</strong>32www.Global<strong>Market</strong>s.bnpparibas.com
