Reverse Lender Gets Funds

American Advisors Group, a reverse mortgage lender based in Irvine, Calif., said it has both a new management team and an infusion of investment capital. The capital comes from JAM Equity Partners LLC, El Segundo, Calif.; an affiliate had committed to make a $4 million investment in the firm. "The combination of a strong capital base from an industry-experienced partner — and one of the most seasoned and accomplished teams in the industry — positions us to be a substantial player in the reverse mortgage space in the coming year," said Reza Jahangiri, president of American Advisors Group. AAG is starting a direct mail campaign and television campaign with the theme of "The Best Advice for a Better Life." The campaign will have a celebrity spokesman whose name was not disclosed.
