NEW YORK, Sept 17 (Reuters) - Freddie Mac (FRE.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), the second-largest provider of funding for U.S. mortgages, on Wednesday said it securitized $548 million in bonds that finance affordable housing units.
Collateral for the "tax-exempt bond securitization," or TEBS, is primarily tax-exempt and taxable multifamily housing revenue bonds, Freddie Mac said in a statement.
The deal is Freddie Mac's second-largest TEBS transaction, and was completed with Citigroup Inc. (C.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) unit Municipal Mortgage Holdings Inc.
