Ginnie Mae’s Office of Capital Markets is responsible for attracting global investment into Ginnie Mae Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS), a critical source of liquidity for the U.S. housing finance system. A key tool supporting this mission is the Global Markets Analysis Report, a monthly publication that provides investors and stakeholders with timely insight on global financial conditions, mortgage market trends, and U.S. housing developments. Since 2022, Emax has been part of the team supporting the monthly production and enhancement of this report. 

Challenge 

As global investor expectations evolved, Ginnie Mae sought to modernize the Global Markets Analysis Report to improve data reliability, analytical clarity, and its overall effectiveness as a communication tool. Specific challenges included: 

• Maintaining accuracy and consistency across large and continuously evolving datasets 

• Incorporating new data sources to reflect emerging global and domestic market trends 

• Enhancing the structure and narrative to better support investor decision-making 

• Ensuring high-quality production, review, and version control on a monthly schedule 

To meet these needs, Ginnie Mae required a more robust analytical and quality-assurance framework to strengthen the report’s credibility and support its strategic role in global capital engagement. 

Approach 

Emax provided subcontractor support to help modernize, strengthen, and streamline the Global Markets Analysis Report. Our approach included four key components: 

• Data Quality and Verification: Leveraged a leading mortgage industry analytics database to standardize underlying datasets and produce consistent, accurate, and reliable charts and graphs for the monthly report. Conducted rigorous quality control and validation checks to ensure data integrity and alignment with Ginnie Mae MBS market trends. 

• Analytical Data Utilization and Market Coverage: Utilized the mortgage industry database tool as the primary source for core market analytics and trend visualization, ensuring methodological consistency across reporting periods. Supplemented these analyses with select external data from reputable public and market sources (e.g., Bloomberg, Federal Reserve, and other authoritative economic datasets) to enhance context and support specialized charts reflecting broader macroeconomic and capital markets dynamics relevant to Ginnie Mae investors.  

• Report Redesign and Structural Improvements: Supported the redesign of report sections to improve analytical depth and clarity, enhanced layout, flow, and visual structure to better align with investor needs and strengthened narrative commentary to contextualize market movements 

• Production and Workflow Enhancements: Improved processes for assembling, reviewing, and finalizing monthly reports, established controls to ensure consistency, timeliness, and accuracy and supported Ginnie Mae staff in optimizing workflow efficiency and quality assurance 

Impact 

Emax’s support has reinforced the Global Markets Analysis Report as a high-value tool for investor engagement and market transparency. 

Key outcomes include: 

• Improved accuracy and reliability of all data presented in the report 

• Expanded analytical depth through the integration of new, relevant data sources 

• A more structured and intuitive report format that enhances investor usability 

• Strengthened credibility of Ginnie Mae’s communications with global stakeholders 

• Increased efficiency and higher quality control across monthly production 

Through these efforts, Emax helped Ginnie Mae elevate its global marketing and data engagement strategy, supporting the broader mission of attracting capital investment into Ginnie Mae MBS and strengthening the U.S. housing finance ecosystem.
