"We are committed to providing our MBS investors, and others, with the highest degree of transparency (1) The quality of being able to see through a material. The terms transparency and translucency are often used synonymously; however, transparent would technically mean "seeing through clear glass," while translucent would mean "seeing through frosted glass."

 D. Raines. "The MBS market today is a critical component of the United States' housing finance system, one that is vital to fulfilling our mission of providing access to affordable homeownership," he said.

Effective for April 2003 issuances, Fannie Mae will disclose new information about the mortgages in its MBS in the MBS Prospectus A document, notice, circular, advertisement, letter, or communication in written form or by radio or television that offers any security for sale, or confirms the sale of any security.  Supplements, including six additional elements of pool-level information. Following is a list of each of the elements and a detailed description of the information that will be provided for each.
-- Original loan-to-value ratios - Fannie Mae will provide the relationship between the mortgage's unpaid principal balance (UPB) at the time of loan origination and a measure of the property's value at time of origination, expressed as a percentage ratio. This element will be disclosed as a weighted average and as a quartile distribution including a maximum and minimum value.

-- Standardized credit scores of borrowers - Fannie Mae will include credit-scoring data (numerical values that rank a borrower according to his or her credit risk at a given point in time). This element will be disclosed as a weighted average for the pool and as a quartile distribution including a maximum and minimum value. Loans for which we do not have credit scores will be excluded from both the weighted average and quartile calculation and will be reported under a separate category titled "% UPB Without Credit Score."

-- Loan purpose - Fannie Mae will disclose whether the loan was used to "purchase" the home or "refinance" an already purchased home. This element will be in a tabular format that discloses the number of loans in each category, the percentage each category comprises of the total pool, and the aggregate UPB for each category.

-- Occupancy type - Fannie Mae will disclose how the borrower will use the property. The disclosure will identify whether the home is owner-occupied, an investment property or a second home. This element will be in a tabular format that discloses the number of loans in each category, the percentage each category comprises of the total pool, and the aggregate UPB for each category.

-- Property type - Fannie Mae will describe the type of property by identifying the number of separate dwellings that comprise the single-family property. The disclosure will identify whether the property is a "one unit" property or a "2-4 unit" property. This element will be in a tabular format that discloses the number of loans in each category, the percentage each category comprises of the total pool, and the aggregate UPB for each category.

-- Servicer - Fannie Mae will identify the entity that services the mortgages in the pool. The company currently identifies the seller of the loans, which usually is the originator, and will continue to identify the seller in addition to the servicer.


In addition to the new disclosures described above, Fannie Mae will change the timing on a number of its existing disclosures. Specifically, the following elements, which Fannie Mae currently discloses post-settlement, will be disclosed dis·close

 and the format and content may be revised as Fannie Mae continues to engage in dialogue with lenders and investors about disclosure implementation.

The Fannie Mae Base Prospectus will also be revised to reflect these changes and to provide investors specific and detailed information about the new disclosures.

Web site Enhancements

"Our new disclosures will build upon enhancements we have implemented for our MBS program over time," Raines said, "and we will continue to implement web site improvements this spring."

In 2000, Fannie Mae began issuing quartile data on key information components for each MBS pool each month. Over the past few months, the Company has developed a new section called "Mortgage Security Information" on fanniemae.com, and added more historic content to the site. Fannie Mae has also made its MBS information easier to search and locate on the corporate Web site, http://www.fanniemae.com.
