(RECAP: Today, Investors Unite Executive Director Tim Pagliara filed a response to the FHFA’s request for input on the proposed increase to guarantee fees (g-fees) that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac charge lenders. On behalf of Fannie and Freddie shareholders, he encouraged FHFA Director Mel Watt to consider the new proposed policy in context of the Treasury Department’s 100 percent net worth sweep of the enterprises. “As long as Treasury is taking all of Fannie and Freddie’s profits, any increase in g-fees would amount to nothing more than a new tax applied to general deficit reduction, ” Pagliara said. He also submitted a recommended set of principles that should be considered for g-fees following reversal of the 2012 net worth sweep. )
