About the company
Oaktree Capital Management is a global asset manager that specializes in alternative investments, with a focus on credit, equity, and real estate. Its products are built from bottom-up, company-specific research to identify risk-controlled opportunities in sub-investment grade assets—such as high-yield bonds, distressed debt, senior loans, and convertible securities—and are assembled into portfolios managed for institutions seeking risk-adjusted returns. The firm differentiates itself through a long history in credit and distressed assets, a strict value-and-contrarian approach, and independence within the Brookfield Asset Management group since 2019, rather than relying on macro timing. Its goal is to deliver durable, risk-adjusted returns for institutional clients while growing assets under management within an independent Brookfield platform.
