Oaktree Capital Management’s Strategic Credit Fund recorded redemption requests equivalent to 4.5 per cent of assets in the second quarter, below its key 5 per cent withdrawal limit, allowing it to fully meet investor demand.

The improvement represents a sharp turnaround from the previous quarter, when the non-traded business development company (BDC) – along with peers – saw a surge in withdrawal requests of up to 8.5 per cent. While this breached the 5 per cent quarterly limit, Oaktree met the requests in full.
