Featuring Michael Kao, Tim Pagliara, and Max Wiethe

Published on: February 8th, 2021 • Duration: 66 minutes

For investors choosing to not participate in certain markets due to perceived bubble risk, deeply distressed assets that have upcoming catalysts and are not tied to broader market risks can offer a trade with an appealing risk/reward on returns. In this interview with Real Vision editor Max Wiethe, Michael Kao, CEO of Akanthos Capital Management LLC, and Tim Pagliara, founder, chairman, and CIO of CapWealth, do a full deep dive into Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which presents such an opportunity. Both highly respected for their analysis of Fannie and Freddie’s situation for the past twelve years, Kao and Pagliara break down what’s occurring and the positive catalysts they foresee over the next several months for Fannie and Freddie shareholders.

      $FNMA is the common equity. The other tickers are the different series of junior preferred shares. Different rounds of debt. Major differences in price between the junior preferred tickets are most likely due to the different par values of the offerings, but idiosyncrasies do exist.

    Bad sound on this one. Someone’s clicking a pen and shuffling papers through the entire presentation. Presenters should mute themselves when not speaking!

      The whole interview is establishing the reasons why that can't/won't happen and that statement by Michael was meant to show why he has such high conviction that receivership is essentially a non-possibility. It was not meant to open the door to exploration of the consequences of this extreme outcome. Should the probabilities shift, you can rest assured that we will bring these two back to discuss the consequences of receivership for the mortgage market and the rest of the financial system.
