The Maryland-based asset management firm acquired a new stake of 240,000 shares of Fortress Investment Group LLC (NYSE:FIG) during the April-to-June period, valued at $1.06 million on June 30.

The U.S. asset manager reported total revenues of $464.3 million for the first half of 2016, down from $535.2 million posted for the same period of the prior year. The decrease was mainly driven by lower incentive income, which is typically dependent upon performance, and a decrease in management fees.

The company’s sales for the second quarter were $1.13 billion, slightly up from $1.12 billion posted a year ago. Polaris Industries sold fewer of-road vehicles (ORVs) in the second quarter of 2016 compared to a year ago, reflecting ongoing softness in North American retail sales in regions heavily dependent on crude oil markets, as well as negative effects from the recent recalls of certain products. After more than 100 off-road machines unexpectedly burst into flames, Polaris Industries announced the recall of around 133,000 recreational off-highway vehicles. Ken Fisher’s Fisher Asset Management was the owner of 219,431 shares of Polaris Industries Inc. (NYSE:PII) at the end of June.
