FAME Associate – Investments & Capital Markets
Financial Analyst

Freddie Mac is a stockholder-owned corporation chartered by Congress in 1970 to keep money flowing to mortgage lenders in support of homeownership and rental housing. Freddie Mac purchases single-family and multifamily residential mortgages and mortgage-related securities, which it finances primarily by issuing mortgage pass through securities and debt instruments in the capital markets. By doing so, we ultimately help homeowners and renters get lower housing costs and better access to home financing.

Freddie Mac aspires to be the premier financial institution in the world. This bold vision results directly from the critical importance of our mission -- to lower costs and increase access to quality housing for more of America's families. To do this, we must be the best. This means we need the best accounting practices, controls, and financial disclosures. Transparent and accurate financial information is the cornerstone of our commitment to support and expand America's housing system. As part of our financial management we build long-term value for our shareholders and meet our regulators' capital requirements - to ensure that we have enough cash on hand to sustain our nation's mortgage market through economic hard times.

Financial Analyst Mentoring and Experience Program (FAME) is a development program designed to recruit outstanding college seniors and prepare them to take on full-time assignments in our various finance related areas. The one-year training program is expressly designed to give the recruits a rigorous education in finance. FAME combines graduate-level education in finance, accounting, economics, and statistics with hands-on exposure to risk management, auditing, investments, and customer management practice. Accountants, Financial Analysts, Researchers, and Risk Managers from all aspects of finance tutor the program participants.

FAME members also receive extensive training in the use of industry-standard tools and software packages. After an initial orientation, FAME participants rotate through a variety of jobs in the Investments & Capital Markets Division. Those who graduate from FAME are rigorously trained professionals – well prepared to take on challenging roles at Freddie Mac.
