Fannie Mae primarily competes with another Government-Sponsored Enterprise, Freddie Mac (FRE). The quotes are taken from the most recent Fannie Mae transcript, published a few hours after the call ended:

1. Upheavals in the market create opportunities across business lines.

As the initial shock of home price declines dissipates and markets settle down from the enormous volatility of the past nine months, we are seeing terrific opportunities in all three businesses. Strong pricing for strong credit and increasing share in single-family; the best investment spreads in over a decade for our capital markets business; and continued market leadership, strong credit performance in HCD. As the market recovers we will be a prime beneficiary.
