Brookfield Oaktree Wealth Solutions, a leading provider of alternative investments to financial advisers and their clients globally, has announced the launch of Oaktree Strategic Credit Fund (AUD) for wholesale investors in Australia. The fund provides access to Oaktree’s strategic credit strategy, featuring a diversified portfolio of income-generating private credit investments with selective allocations to public debt, particularly during periods of market dislocation.
Managed by Oaktree, a leading global alternative investment manager, the strategy seeks to leverage the firm’s deep expertise in a broad, yet specialised, array of credit strategies. Distributed by Brookfield Oaktree Wealth Solutions, this marks the first Oaktree open-ended credit strategy made available to wholesale investors in Australia.
Jeremy Hall, Head of International at Brookfield Oaktree Wealth Solutions, said: “Australian investors are looking to private credit investments to diversify their portfolio and generate stable current income with long-term capital appreciation potential. We look forward to entering the market with a differentiated private credit solution, which adopts a dynamic ‘all weather’ approach to navigate changing credit cycles across the credit continuum globally, backed by Oaktree’s three decades of credit expertise.”
Brookfield Oaktree Wealth Solutions was launched in April 2021 with the goal of expanding alternative investments to financial advisers and their clients, globally. The provider now offers a variety of liquid, semi-liquid and private strategies across real estate, infrastructure, credit and private equity, with 150 employees across 10 countries. Managing more than US$1 trillion in assets, Brookfield and Oaktree together comprise one of the largest alternative asset managers in the world.
Channel Investment Management Limited acts as the Responsible Entity and Investment Manager for the Fund.
