Fortress Investment Group LLC was founded in 1998 in New York City by Wesley R. Edens, Rob Kauffman and Randal A. Nardone. With over $51 billion in assets under management as of March 31, 2025 and more than $200 billion invested historically, the firm serves over 2,000 institutional and private clients. Supported by more than 200 investment professionals, Fortress has built a record of disciplined asset management across transportation, infrastructure, healthcare, real estate and energy.

The firm applies a flexible investment approach that shifts between public and private markets and multiple asset classes. Core strategies include corporate credit, asset-backed finance—covering areas such as asset-based lending, European distressed loans, intellectual property and legal assets—real estate debt and equity, net lease, private equity through fund liquidity solutions and traditional buyouts, insurance solutions and multi-manager vehicles. An active, fundamental value process underlies due diligence and ongoing management, supported by a global sourcing network aimed at identifying undervalued or distressed opportunities.

In recent years, Fortress has increased its involvement in energy transition initiatives. In 2024, it co-led a $50 million financing round for Aymium’s renewable biocarbon and biohydrogen technologies. In January 2025 it partnered with Duos Energy Corporation to deploy clean-burning natural gas turbines for off-grid and emergency power. In June 2025 it acquired a majority stake in Island Energy Services with First Reserve to expand renewable fuels and biofuels in Hawaii, and its 2021 purchase of wind farms in Greece added 181 MW of wind capacity. While the firm does not hold a direct stake in battery storage developer Fortress Power, its portfolio reflects a growing focus on projects that advance lower-carbon energy infrastructure.
