In Brief: American Residential Sees Assets Topping $1B

American Residential Investment Trust Inc. expects its portfolio of mortgage assets to soon exceed $1 billion.

The real estate investment trust went public last year and used the capital raised from the offering to grow its portfolio, which consists mostly of nonconforming loans from various originators.

It also has a program under way to purchase loans from correspondents, CEO John M. Robbins Jr. noted during the company's first annual shareholder meeting last week.
