About the Business
The Fortress energy business with a current asset under management of $2.3 billion makes debt and equity investments in primarily North American energy and infrastructure with assets supporting the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity and the production, storage, processing, servicing, and transportation of oil & gas. The team seeks to generate superior risk-adjusted returns by opportunistically investing in private, mid-cap, primarily contracted infrastructure assets, oil & gas reserves, and service companies, via identification of price-to-value dislocations. Such dislocations are often due to sponsor stress, illiquidity, market disruption, regulatory change, asset optionality or project operating issues.
