The Fortress Private Equity Funds look for investments that can be acquired at attractive valuations, often as a result of structural complexity, distress, or disfavor within the capital markets. In our experience, many of the best investments are made in difficult or changing environments, particularly when disruptions in the capital markets lead to a scarcity of funding for capital intensive businesses. This is true for whole company acquisitions as well as for opportunistic add-on investments within existing portfolio companies.

To secure the most compelling investment opportunities, the private equity team evaluates situations involving multiple asset classes, elaborate capital structures, and multifaceted tax and regulatory issues. Fortress’s investments are often at the nexus of private equity, distressed debt and asset-based investment disciplines, and require a multidisciplinary asset and corporate level approach to unlock value and optimize investment returns. In our experience, Fortress’s willingness to tackle complicated situations creates unique value buying opportunities.
