JPMorgan Chase has reached an agreement to resolve all of its mortgage-backed securities (MBS) litigation with the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) as conservator for Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae for $4 billion. This settlement resolves the firm's largest MBS case and relates to approximately $33.8 billion of securities purchased by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from J.P. Morgan, Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual. The firm has also simultaneously agreed to resolve Fannie Mae's and Freddie Mac's repurchase claims associated with whole loan purchases from 2000 to 2008, for $1.1 billion.
