Oaktree Capital Management is a leader among global investment managers that specializes in alternative investments.
Their expertise is primarily focused on a diversified mix of global investment strategies across three main categories:
1. Credit: This includes a strong focus on distressed debt (their flagship opportunistic credit platform), high-yield bonds, leveraged loans, and private debt.
2. Equity: They engage in private equity strategies, including control investments (taking controlling stakes in companies) and special situations, using a value-oriented, opportunistic approach.
3. Real Estate: Their real estate platform invests across global markets, emphasizing rigorous risk control and opportunistic sourcing, often involving strategies like distress and value-added investments.
A key part of the Oaktree philosophy across all their strategies is an opportunistic, value-oriented, and risk-controlled approach. They place the primacy of risk control as their guiding principle.
