Oaktree Capital Management
Oaktree Capital Management, Inc. is a global asset management firm specializing in alternative investment strategies. As of June 30, 2025, the company managed $209 billion for its clientele.
The firm was co-founded in 1995 by a group that had formerly worked together at the TCW Group starting in the 1980s. On April 12, 2012, Oaktree Capital Group, LLC became listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol OAK. On March 13, 2019, Canada's Brookfield Asset Management announced that it had agreed to buy 62% of Oaktree Capital Management for approximately $4.7 billion.
The firm is based in Los Angeles, and has more than 1,450 employees in offices in 26 cities worldwide (Los Angeles, New York City, London, Hyderabad, Hong Kong, Stamford, Connecticut, Tokyo, Luxembourg, Paris, Frankfurt, Singapore, Seoul, Beijing, Amsterdam, Dubai, Houston, Dallas, Dublin, Shanghai, Sydney, Mumbai, GIFT City, Madrid, Stockholm, Zurich). The company's co-chairman, Howard Marks, is known in the investment community for his letters to investors.
Since its formation in 1995, Oaktree has become the largest distressed-debt investor in the world. As reported in The Washington Post on June 26, 2011, Oaktree's 17 distressed-debt funds (which do not use leverage) have averaged annual gains of 19% after fees for the past 22 years.
Oaktree's clientele includes 64 of the 100 largest U.S. pension plans, 40 state retirement plans in the United States, over 550 corporations and/or their pension funds, over 275 university, charitable and other endowments and foundations, and 17 sovereign wealth funds. According to The Wall Street Journal, Oaktree has "long been considered a stable repository for pension-fund and endowment money."
The company's distressed-debt funds are often over-subscribed, and in 2010 Oaktree turned down potential investors due to self-imposed limits on fund size.
Oaktree's current investment activities are divided across three asset classes: credit, equity, and real estate.
Oaktree was founded in 1995 by a group of principals who first joined at the TCW Group in the mid-1980s Within three months of its founding in 1995, "more than 30 TCW clients transferred $1.5 billion in assets to Oaktree."
