Friedman paid an average of $12.78 for Phh Corp (PHH) shares. These are probably Friedman’s last purchases because his fund now controls 9.9% of PHH’s outstanding shares.
Billionaire Larry Robbins, activist Clint Carlson, and Edward Mule’s Silver Point Capital also have very large stakes in Phh Corp (PHH). Hedge funds won’t have any trouble getting their opinions heard by the management. However, the short interest in this stock is more than 7%, meaning that there are other hedge funds who don’t share the views of these fund managers. Phh Corp, a mortgage solutions company for the real estate market and financial institutions, disappointed its investors last month and lost about 20%.
