Hedge fund manager Bill Ackman supports this merger, suggesting it could lower mortgage rates and streamline government oversight. The merger aligns with Trump's plans for public ownership of the firms and follows the FHFA's decision to adopt VantageScore 4.0, which may expand the mortgage market for first-time buyers. The implications of this merger could significantly impact the mortgage market and the financial sector. President **Donald Trump** hinted at the possibility of merging government-sponsored enterprises **Fannie Mae** and **Freddie Mac** and trading them under the name “MAGA.” ## Trump Fuels Buzz With NYSE Bell for ‘MAGA’ Listing President Trump added to the speculation by posting an image on Truth Social showing him ringing the New York Stock Exchange's opening bell for the debut of a new entity. The backdrop suggested a November 2025 listing for an entity named The Great American Mortgage Corporation, with the ticker symbol “MAGA.” It remains uncertain how this new entity would be structured, given that both Fannie and Freddie are currently publicly traded. The government would need to take definitive steps soon if it intends to launch the new entity as early as November. The structure of this new entity remains ambiguous, as both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are currently publicly traded. The government would need to take more decisive action soon if it intends to offer the new entity by November. ## Ackman Backs Fannie-Freddie Merger To Cut Mortgage Rates Responding to this development, prominent hedge fund manager **Bill Ackman** proposed that merging Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could help lower mortgage rates and generate significant synergies in their operations and trading price. He suggested, “A merger would also reduce the cost and risks of government oversight as there would be only one institution that would require FHFA oversight. I suspect that this is @realDonaldTrump 's idea as implied by his post below. It's a really good one.” ## **Trump-Backed Fannie-Freddie Merger Could Reshape Housing** The potential merger of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac comes on the heels of Trump’s earlier indications of plans to return the firms to public ownership. This move could have significant implications for the mortgage market and the broader financial sector. The proposed merger also coincides with the recent decision by the **Federal Housing Finance Agency** (FHFA) to allow Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to accept VantageScore 4.0, a credit model that considers on-time rent and utility payments. This shift could potentially expand the mortgage market to approximately five million first-time buyers, further underscoring the potential impact of the proposed merger. - **Freddie Mac Says 30-Year Mortgage Slips To 6.72%, But Jerome Powell’s Cautious Rate Tone Fuels ‘Higher For Longer’ Fears, Pressuring Housing Market ** *Image via Shutterstock* ### Related Stocks - [FMCC.US - Freddie Mac](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/FMCC.US.md) - [FNMA.US - Federal National Mortgage Association](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/FNMA.US.md) ## Related News & Research | Title | Description | URL | |-------|-------------|-----| | 陶冬：人民幣資產機會來了 科技自主牛市顯現 警示美債風險「黃金買貴不會買錯」 | 陶冬表示，人民幣資產機會已來，科技自主牛市顯現，當前是「資產為王」的時代，關注遠離央行控制的資產和科技突破。預計美聯儲將維持寬鬆政策，但短期內可能觀察。美債市場面臨風險，傳統零風險資產邏輯已被顛覆，需警惕未來利率可能降至 3% 左右。 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276028666.md) | | 通脹降溫、非農勁爆，美股能否止跌企穩？ | 美國 1 月 CPI 同比降至 2.4%，低於預期，核心 CPI 降至 2.5%，創 2021 年來最低，市場對美聯儲降息預期升溫。美股三大指數漲跌不一，納指小幅下跌但企穩於 24700 點上方。美債殖利率全線下跌，資金回流美債。投資者關注 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/275994601.md) | | 美團 (3690) 盈警，料去年度業績由盈轉虧 | 美團近日發出盈警，預計 2025 年度將錄得虧損 233 億至 243 億元人民幣，較 2024 年盈利 358 億元大幅惡化。虧損主要源於核心本地商業分部的經營虧損及對海外業務的加大投入。美團已加大對生態體系的投入以應對激烈競爭，包括強化 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276027930.md) | | 美國 1 月 CPI 來襲！標普 500、輝達、德國 DAX 指數、澳元/美元技術分析 | 美國勞工統計局將於 2 月 13 日發布 1 月消費者價格指數（CPI），預計服務價格漲幅放緩將導致通脹降温，但核心通脹率可能上升。1 月非農就業數據強勁，促使市場對美聯儲降息次數的預期減少。標普 500 指數在 2 月 12 日下跌 1. | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/275974381.md) | | 房利美｜8-K：2025 財年 Q4 營收 73.31 億美元 | | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/275602992.md) | --- > **Disclaimer**: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.
