Unwavering Focus on Risk Management

Oaktree is unified by a single investment philosophy, placing primary emphasis on risk control and consistency, which has helped deliver attractive outcomes for investors throughout market cycles.

Primacy of risk control

If we avoid the losers, the winners take care of themselves

Benefits of specialization

Our team members’ experience and expertise give us a substantial advantage

Emphasis on consistency

A superior record is best built on a high batting average rather than the hope that great years will outweigh dismal ones

Macro-forecasting not critical to investing

Superior knowledge of companies and their securities is the best foundation for consistently excellent performance

Importance of market inefficiency

It is only in less-efficient markets that hard work and skill are likely to produce superior returns

Disavowal of market timing

The ability to correctly time markets is limited at best; we are fully invested whenever we can find attractive investments
