Welcome to MPF In Focus
Welcome to the premier issue of In Focus, a new e-newsletter from the Mortgage Partnership Finance® (MPF®) Program. This quarterly publication will provide a snapshot of the MPF Program’s activities for each season—from the trade shows where we can meet each other in person to new product developments that can benefit your bottom line to interviews with Participating Financial Institutions (PFIs) who share which MPF products or services work for them in their local communities.

Please feel free to forward this newsletter to your colleagues. If they would like a subscription, or you have any comments, please email the editor, Melissa Warden, at mwarden@fhlbc.com. 
 
MPF Volumes Exceed Goals in 2011
The MPF Program continued to grow in 2011. PFIs across the country funded more than 45,000 loans totaling almost $7 billion. Of the 672 funding PFIs, 628 were community banks and thrifts with less than $1.040 billion in total assets. 
How PFIs compete on a more level playing field.
 
PFI Conversation

Competitive pricing plays a role.
 
Introducing Realtors to PFIs
The goal of exhibiting at the National Association of Realtors conference in California last November was to introduce Realtors across the country to the MPF Program—and, in turn, to their local PFIs. Meet the Realtor who won the Amazon Kindle and the PFI in her market. 
Plus, look for the MPF Program at these upcoming trade shows.
