The rating

Why Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. has four stars

Oaktree runs USD 183 billion of regulatory assets and has been registered with the SEC since 1995. It reports two matters in its Form ADV, the most recent brought by the SEC in 2024. Both of its rated insurance-dedicated funds have four stars.

The rating looks only at the areas below, which matter to a family holding this manager's funds through a private placement policy. Past returns play no part: these funds do not report them in their SEC filings, and they say little about what a policy will earn.

Conduct and regulatory record

What regulators and courts have recorded against the manager, and for platform series against the platform, as the advisers report it to the SEC. Several proceedings on one set of facts count as one matter. Recent and serious matters count most, matters of other companies in the group count for less, matters of individuals are weighed by the person's role and their bearing on the business, and the size of the firm is taken into account.

Reported controls

What the adviser reports to the SEC for the fund: whether the accounts are audited every year by an accountant registered with the PCAOB and subject to its regular inspection, whether audited statements go to investors and what the audit opinion says, whether the administrator and custodian are outside the adviser's group, and what share of the assets was valued last year by a person not related to the adviser.

Depth and experience of the manager

The assets the manager runs, its investment staff and how long it has been registered with the SEC.

The record

Regulatory and legal record

What the adviser itself discloses in Item 11 of its Form ADV, summarised from the disclosure pages, with a link to the filing. Item 11 is filed for the adviser as a whole, so under each matter the fund it concerns is read from the disclosure itself.

202425 September 2024

Regulatory action by US Securities and Exchange Commission: civil penalty

Fund concerned: none named in the filing. The matter concerns the adviser itself, not a specific fund, and none of the insurance-dedicated funds in this file is named.

The SEC found that Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. failed to timely file required Section 16(a) reports and failed to timely file schedule 13D and schedule 13G amendments and therefore violated and caused violations of Sections 13(d) and 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and rules 13d-2 and 16a-3 promulgated thereunder.

Regulatory action by US Securities and Exchange Commission: cease and desist

Fund concerned: none named in the filing. The matter concerns the adviser itself, not a specific fund, and none of the insurance-dedicated funds in this file is named.

The SEC alleged that in three instances, Oaktree provided advisory Services for compensation for two years to a State or local governmental investor after a "covered associate" of Oaktree made a personal campaign contribution to a candidate for a governmental position which had the ability to influence the selection of Investment Advisers for that governmental investor, in technical violation of Rule 206(4)-5 under the Advisers Act (the SEC'S "pay-to-play" Rule for Investment Advisers). These non- scienter based violations took place in 2014 and 2016.

These are the matters Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. reports in Item 11 of its Form ADV, filed 17 August 2026. A reported matter is a fact disclosed by the adviser, not a finding by PPLI.com. None of them concerns the insurance-dedicated funds listed above.
