At Freddie Mac, you will do important work to build a better housing finance system and you’ll be part of a team helping to make homeownership and rental housing more accessible and affordable across the nation.
Position Overview:
This program is a ten-week rotational internship crafted to provide interns with the opportunity to gain an outstanding experience working across a broad spectrum of Freddie Mac’s key capital markets desks! The key focus is to develop future portfolio managers by providing real world training experiences with the goal of learning the full mortgage capital markets life cycle while also providing desk-specific knowledge. Interns will get a chance to learn and work alongside best-in-class professionals on various desks to analyze and support a diverse set of transactions, trades, and strategies over two five-week rotations, with at least one rotation on a desk in each of the following two buckets:
Credit Risk:
Understanding Freddie Mac’ Credit Risk portfolio through pricing up front credit risk, handling the non performing loan portfolio and structuring and selling Credit Risk Transfer (CRT) transactions
Market Risk:
Learning how Freddie Mac runs its market risk, in interest rate and debt capital markets, mortgage guarantee pipeline and the MBS securitization business
Our Impact:
Freddie Mac’s Portfolio Management and Capital Markets Divisions are responsible for handling the ~$2.5 trillion mortgage guarantee and investment portfolios through secondary mortgage market activities such as asset-liability management, loan purchases, servicing transactions, securitization, debt issuance and credit risk transfer.

Your Impact:

Throughout your rotations, you will learn not only how the Capital Markets division works and interacts generally with the rest of the firm, but you will pick up specific know-how about the desks you work on.
The summer will culminate in a final project on a topical concept to your internship or Freddie Mac as a whole, presented to the executive leadership of the program and other heads of desks.
