About

Oaktree Capital is one of the world's leading alternative investment managers. Oaktree has its original roots in high yielding and distressed credit/debt, although today invests across the spectrum from equity to debt. There are four primary strategies: credit, private equity, real assets, and listed equities. Credit comprises approximately 70% of the portfolio, with private equity and real assets comprising most of the remainder. Oaktree has a strong culture and investment philosophy focused on risk control, consistency, market inefficiency, specialisation, bottom-up analysis and disavowal of market timing.
