“Direct corporate lending has been a core strategy for the Fortress Credit Funds since its inception more than 20 years ago. Since 2006, we have deployed nearly a hundred billion dollars across thousands of transactions making Fortress one of the most experienced managers in the market today. Additionally, when combined with our liquid corporates strategies and junior capital solutions, we have a seamless capacity to source, structure and manage the full breadth of corporate credit alternatives with a single investment team.”
