Item 1.

Security and Issuer

This Schedule 13D is being filed by the undersigned, pursuant to §240.13d-1(a), with respect to the ordinary shares (the “Shares”), of Home Loan Servicing Solutions, Ltd. (the “Issuer”), whose principal executive offices are located at c/o Intertrust Corporate Services (Cayman) Limited, 190 Elgin Avenue, George Town, Grand Cayman KY1-9005, Cayman Islands.

 

Item 2.

Identity and Background

 

(a-c,f) This Schedule 13D is filed on behalf of each of the following persons (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”):

 

i.

OxFORD Asset Management LLP (“OxFORD”)

ii.

OxAM Quant Fund Limited (“OxAM”)

 

The address of the principal business office of OxFORD is OxAM House, 6 George Street, Oxford, United Kingdom, OX1 2BW. OxFORD is a limited liability partnership incorporated in England and Wales.

 

 

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

The funds used for the purchase of the Shares reported herein by the Reporting Persons were working capital or margin account borrowings of OxAM made in the ordinary course of business of OxAM. In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account, which may exist from time to time. Because other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the Shares reported herein. A total of approximately $4,103,000, including commissions, was paid to acquire the Shares reported herein.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

 

The Reporting Persons acquired the Shares for investment purposes of OxAM and in the ordinary course of OxAM’s business, pursuant to investment strategies, because OxFORD, as investment adviser, believed that the Shares, when purchased, represented an attractive investment opportunity. The investment opportunity arose in connection with the proposed merger of the Issuer with a subsidiary of New Residential Investment Corp. subsequent to the delisting of the Shares by NASDAQ and the payment by the Issuer of a liquidating distribution of $16.613 per share. Upon consummation of the proposed merger, holders of Shares will receive $0.704059 per Share and the Shares will be cancelled.
