Fortress Investment Group is a global alternative investment and asset
management firm with over $10 billion of capital currently under management.
The firm was founded in 1998, and today employs over 160 people. Fortress is
headquartered in New York and has offices in London, Rome, Frankfurt and Geneva.
Fortress' private equity funds primarily invest in asset-based businesses and
asset portfolios in the United States and Western Europe. Since the
principals began investing together ten years ago, they have directed the
acquisition and management of over $28 billion of financial, real
estate-related, and other assets and companies in approximately 100 transactions
in North America and Europe. Through the issuance of approximately $12
billion (principal amount) of fixed income securities, the principals have
financed and monetized many of these investments.
The private equity team invests in a variety of asset types across the credit
spectrum. In addition to investing directly in public and private
asset-based companies, Fortress will acquire assets, provide rescue financing
including debtor-in-possession financing, and purchase corporate debt in order
to lead a corporate restructuring. The team takes a hands-on investment approach
with a focus on rigorous underwriting and intensive investment management.
Fortress was founded on the investment philosophy of adding value through a
combination of real estate and capital markets expertise, restructuring,
corporate mergers and acquisitions, and a highly disciplined investment
process.
