Rithm Capital Corp. 7.00% Fixed (RITM-D)

Overview

Rithm Capital Corp., previously known as New Residential Investment Corp., pivoted its branding in August 2022 to reflect its broadened focus. With its inception in 2011 and headquarters situated in New York, New York, Rithm Capital has carved out a niche in the realm of asset management, specifically honing in on real estate, credit, and financial services. The firm crafts its strategy around several key operating segments, including Origination and Servicing, Investment Portfolio, Mortgage Loans Receivable, and Asset Management. A distinguishing feature of Rithm Capital is its status as a real estate investment trust (REIT), which allows the company to enjoy a tax-advantaged position, provided it returns at least 90% of its taxable income back to its stockholders, thereby sidestepping federal corporate income taxes under typical circumstances.
