New updates have been reported about Cornerstone Financing (PC:CORNE)

Cornerstone Financing LLC has announced a significant strategic asset purchase commitment of up to $1 billion from Fortress Investment Group, marking a pivotal development in the home equity investment sector. This partnership is set to enhance Cornerstone’s flagship product, CHEIFS, which allows homeowners to convert home equity into liquidity without incurring debt or monthly payments. The infusion of capital from Fortress, a global investment manager with $54 billion in assets, underscores the transformative potential of CHEIFS in financial planning, particularly for mass-affluent homeowners seeking retirement income, insurance planning, and wealth building solutions.

The collaboration with Fortress is one of the largest institutional commitments in the home equity investment sector, highlighting a shift in how prime home equity is utilized as a financial asset. Cornerstone’s co-founders, Craig Corn and Dan Anderson, emphasized that this funding positions CHEIFS to become integral in holistic financial planning, enabling financial advisors to optimize over $35 trillion in home equity. The agreement also supports the expansion of Cornerstone’s distribution channels, including the introduction of Prime HEI℠ for mortgage brokers, and integration with InsMark’s Wealthy and Wise+ software platform. This strategic move is expected to accelerate Cornerstone’s national expansion, strengthen its advisor and broker networks, and enhance its technology suite, ultimately scaling its institutional securitization capabilities.
