WHAT IS A SECONDARY MARKET?

The secondary market is made up of organizations that buy loans from banks and other lending institutions. The secondary market is primarily comprised of the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) (or Fannie Mae); the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) (or Ginnie Mae); and The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) (or Freddie Mae).

These organizations buy and recycle loans from the original lending institution. A large percentage of loans end up in the secondary market. Loans that are not sold into the secondary market remain "in portfolio".
