2026 Undergraduate Intern, Global Private Debt at Oaktree Capital Management
Oaktree Capital Management · Los Angeles, United States Of America · Onsite
- Junior
- Office in Los Angeles
Our Company
Oaktree is a leader among global investment managers specializing in alternative investments, with about $200 billion in assets under management. The firm emphasizes an opportunistic, value-oriented and risk-controlled approach to investments in credit, private equity, real assets, and listed equities. The firm has over 1200 employees and offices in 24 cities worldwide.
Global Private Debt focuses on U.S. and non-U.S. investment opportunities within the traded and non-traded markets. The tradeable credit opportunity set arises from pricing inefficiencies that occur in the primary and secondary markets whereas non-traded (direct) investments stem from the financing needs of healthy companies that may have limited access to traditional lenders or public markets. The team has a broad investment mandate, although typical investments tend to be in the form of high yield bonds and senior loans. The strategy targets discounted, high-quality investments across sponsored, non-sponsored, opportunistic and public opportunities. With a focus on total return, the strategy benefits from a strong focus on bottom-up fundamental credit analysis and from a team experienced in stressed credit investing over multiple market cycles.
