I don't know what we can take from this sale. It might have been a shrewd financial move, but I think that the fact that there's no current financial reports from FNM (i.e., they are not current in their SEC financial reporting) may have played a big role as well. The charter of the mutual fund may require that they sell companies that are current in their reporting obligations.
