In January, Cleary Gottlieb represented the underwriters, including Barclays, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, RBS and Wells Fargo, in eighteen Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed transactions.
In general, the “agency” transactions involve the issuance of mortgage-backed securities, in each case guaranteed by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae or Ginnie Mae.

In each transaction, the underlying assets were residential mortgage loans. The cash flows on these mortgages support the issuance of securities. The securities were issued in multiple classes.
