Intro

In this episode of Debtwired, Oaktree’s Brook Hinchman, head of North America for the global opportunities strategy, and Jared Parker, co-head of the team, join host Debtwire reporter Ayse Kelce to discuss credit strategies during macroeconomic volatility and their outlooks on different sectors.

Oaktree raised USD 16bn with its Oaktree Opportunities Fund XII this year to invest in opportunistic liquid credits, rescue financings, debtor-in-possession financings, exit financings, loan portfolios, platforms and opportunistic capital solutions.

In this conversation, Hinchman and Parker share their perspectives on how to create opportunities in public and private credit during market uncertainty. They share insights about sectors that are expected to experience more pressure and others that are more resilient to tariff and rate pressures.
