SERVICER ADVANCE INVESTMENTS SERVICER ADVANCE INVESTMENTS
Servicer advance investments consist of arrangements to fund existing outstanding servicer advances and the requirement to purchase all future servicer advances made with respect to a specified pool of residential mortgage loans in exchange for the base fee component of the related MSR. Rithm Capital elected to record its servicer advance investments, including the right to the base fee component of the related MSRs, at fair value under the FVO election to provide users of the financial statements with better information regarding the effects of market factors. The Company’s servicer advance investments are presented in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

As part of the Computershare Acquisition (Note 3), Rithm Capital acquired certain MSRs owned by SLS underlying a certain servicer advance investment and, therefore, reclassified the servicer advance investment to MSR and servicer advances receivable on its consolidated balance sheets.

Mr. Cooper performs all of the servicing and advancing functions on the Company’s remaining servicer advance investments, retains the ancillary income and assumes servicing obligations and liabilities as the servicer of the underlying loans in the portfolio.

Rithm Capital owns its interest in servicer advance investments through a consolidated subsidiary, Advance Purchaser LLC (“Advance Purchaser”), in which it has an ownership interest of 89.3%. As of December 31, 2024, the noncontrolling third-party co-investor and Rithm Capital have funded all their capital commitments. Advance Purchaser may recall $71.5 million and $597.9 million of capital distributed to the third-party co-investor and Rithm Capital, respectively. Neither the third-party co-investor nor Rithm Capital is obligated to fund amounts in excess of their respective capital commitments, regardless of the capital requirements of Advance Purchaser.
