Training - Fannie Mae

Fannie Mae is an American shareholder-owned company that provides financial products and services that make it possible for low-, moderate- and middle-income families to buy homes of their own. Housing finance is a major component of today's capital markets and understanding the intricacies of this sector is essential for long term, stable wealth creation. Fannie Mae's International Housing Finance Symposium Series offers a unique educational opportunity to learn about housing finance, including the details of U.S. primary and secondary mortgage markets. This Symposium Series profiles the U.S. mortgage finance system; however, "best practices" from around the globe and country case studies facilitate the sharing of international perspectives. These interactive sessions are limited to approximately 50 delegates who represent government, NGO, and private sectors in emerging and well-developed nations. Below is a description of the 2004 International Housing Finance Symposium Series being held at our Washington, DC headquarters.

Fannie Mae offers two Housing Finance Symposiums: Series I, Series II and Series III.

Series I: The U.S. Housing Finance System

This forum provides a practical understanding of the market structure and best practices developed in the U.S. primary and secondary mortgage markets-identifying considerations for implementation in other markets. Case studies are incorporated to enhance practical aspects of information discussed. External speakers provide additional insight on the U.S. and international perspectives. http://www.fanniemae.com/ihfs
