Update on Multifamily Securities Disclosures Enhancements
In September 2014, Fannie Mae announced upcoming enhancements to the at-issuance disclosures for Multifamily MBS securities. These enhancements will be implemented on Friday November 7, 2014 and files published after this date will include the new disclosure.
As stated in the September 2014 announcement, these enhancements will align the publication of pool, loan and collateral level data in the New Issues Pool Statistics (NIPS) file and the New Issues Loan and Collateral Statement (NILCS) file for Multifamily MBS pools delivered the preceding day. In addition, the NILCS file will include the following data attributes and data field label updates:
