Thursday, May 23, 8:49 AM Just spun off from Newcastle Investment (NCT), New Residential (NRZ) gets busy, announcing a co-investment with Nationstar Mortgage (NSM) in a recent acquisition of MSRs with UPB of about $23B. New Residential is investing about $38M in exchange for one-third of the monthly cash flow, net of a fee paid to Nationstar, which will perform all servicing functions. All of the mentioned companies are in the portfolio of Fortress Investment (FIG), which has also acquired one-third of the cash flows. (PR) Comment! [Financials]
Wednesday, May 22, 12:00 PM After more than tripling since its (unloved) IPO 14 months ago, Nationstar Mortgage (NSM) is the subject of a glowing writeup in Forbes - "A jewel in Fortress' (FIG) portfolio." Mortgage servicing is recognized as a great business now and Nationstar - along with Fortress-owned Newcastle (NCT, NRZ) - Ocwen (OCN) and Walter (WAC) are currently the favorites of the mortgage gorillas, Fannie and Freddie. 2 Comments [Financials]
Wednesday, May 22, 9:51 AM Leon Black's strategy of "selling everything not nailed down" while at the same time raising new investment funds seems to be working as Apollo Global (APO) is the best-performing (on a Y/Y basis) of the alternative-asset stocks. "Apollo has aggressively entered harvesting mode and you're seeing shareholders reap the benefits," says CS's Howard Chen, who has a Buy rating. Also in the top 5 were FIG, BX, and KKR, while CG and BAM scraped the bottom. In between are relative newcomers OAK and OZM. Comment! [Financials]
Thursday, May 2, 3:00 PM Fortress Investment Group LLC (FIG) declares $0.06/share quarterly dividend, in line with previous. Forward yield 361%. For shareholders of record May 14. Payable May 17. Ex-div date May 10. (PR) Comment! [Dividends]
Thursday, May 2, 7:11 AM Fortress Investment (FIG): Q1 EPS of $0.05. Revenue of $244.3M beats by $20.63M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News, Financials]

Tuesday, April 2, 7:08 AM Newcastle Investment (NCT) closes on its purchase of a $4.2B consumer loan portfolio from HSBC - total purchase price of $3B. Newcastle has a 30% equity interest in the portfolio, but another Fortress (FIG) affiliate - Springleaf Finance - will own the servicing rights. (PR) 1 Comment [Financials]
Wednesday, March 20, 7:23 AM Fortress Investment Group's (FIG) flagship global macro fund bets on a continued slide in the yen (FXY), expecting the BOJ to announce and immediately commence a big asset purchase program next month. The fund - which gained 18% in 2012 and 4.5% through 2 months of 2013 - has $3.2B in AUM. Comment! [Global & FX, Financials]
Thursday, March 7, 11:36 AM As with Walker & Dunlop yesterday, investors use an earnings release as an excuse to sell another hot Fortress (FIG) affiliate, Nationstar Mortgage (NSM -6.2%). Hinting negative was a slight increase in the delinquency rate, but this should be expected given the company's speedy acquisition of troubled loans. The stock's a near-triple since its IPO a year ago. (earnings call) (slides) 1 Comment [Financials]
Tuesday, March 5, 9:03 AM Newcastle Investment (NCT) jumps 3.1% after inking a deal to acquire up to 50% of a $4.2B UPB portfolio of consumer loans - home and unsecured personal - from HSBC (HBC). Newcastle will team with another Fortress (FIG) affiliate - Springleaf Financial, which will have responsibility for servicing the loans. The total purchase price comes to $3.2B. (PR) 2 Comments [Financials, Breaking News, On the Move]
Wednesday, February 27, 10:26 AM More on Fortress Investment (FIG) Q4 earnings: Buy low - the company in 2012 repurchased 10% of its shares at $3.50 each vs. current price of $6.40. New commitments of $1.6B in 2013 thus far vs. $6.7B for all 2012. "Dry powder" of $6.2B vs. total AUM of $53.4B.

Conditional orders placed (very low bids) on AMD, FITB, FIG, NCT and CNO; I hope to pick them up on further selling into the close.
