The Blackstone Group bought a stake in troubled mortgage insurer PMI, apparently continuing its strategy to bet on companies for which prices plunged following the financial crisis.
California-based PMI was hit hard by the wave of foreclosures in 2008 and 2009 and went bankrupt, ceasing to insure new loans in August 2011. The company left bankruptcy protection in 2013 and has recently seen its fortunes rise, according to Bloomberg.
