FS Investments
Overview
FS Investments is a roughly $85 billion, credit-led alternatives manager—built on a BDC heritage and broadened by its merger with Portfolio Advisors—whose real estate activity sits alongside interval funds and private-credit strategies distributed through the RIA channel. Real estate is a complementary rather than defining business, so for 1031 purposes the firm reads as an institutional manager with a real estate credit capability rather than a dedicated DST house.
