Kyle Bass' hedge fund firm Hayman Capital has filed a 13G with the SEC regarding its stake in Nationstar Mortgage Holdings (NSM).  Per the filing, Hayman has disclosed they own 5.3% of the company with over 4.75 million shares.

This is an increase of over 3.67 million shares since the end of 2013.  The filing was required due to activity on March 13th.

Shares of NSM and other mortgage servicers like Ocwen Financial (OCN) have dropped this year as non-bank servicers have started to come under scrutiny from regulators.

Per Google Finance, Nationstar Mortgage Holdings is "a non-bank residential mortgage servicer with a range of services across the residential mortgage product spectrum. The Company’s clients include national and regional banks, government organizations, securitization trusts, private investment funds and other owners of residential mortgage loans and securities. It is a partner of financial organizations, including government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) and other regulated institutions."
