Oaktree's real estate group pursues a wide range of global investment opportunities, including direct property investments, corporate investments, undervalued debt and real-estate related equity securities, and development with aligned, high-quality partners. Its opportunistic approach capitalizes on the team's extensive experience and benefits from Oaktree's multi-disciplinary strengths and global footprint.

"We derive important competitive advantages from Oaktree's collaborative culture," says John Brady, head of global real estate, "including enhanced access to deal flow in terms of both volume and quality, and partnership opportunities with other Oaktree investment groups."

Our investments emphasize Oaktree's bedrock philosophy of risk control and fall into one or more of the following strategic areas, in order of priority: distress, inefficiency, value-added and long-term growth.

We are particularly well-positioned to leverage the firm's product, industry and geographical reach in foreign markets, where corporate and real estate assets are often bundled inefficiently.

Headquartered in Frankfurt, Germany, the European real estate advisory team is well integrated with Oaktree's other investment groups.
