Summary
Oak Hill Advisors is launching a new fund aimed at retail investors, according to Bloomberg, as the firm seeks to tap individual demand for private credit at a time when sentiment toward the asset class has weakened. The fund will deploy capital across both public and private debt, targeting opportunities in areas such as credit markets generally.
The $1.8 trillion private credit market has faced a wave of redemptions that has pushed asset managers to take unprecedented steps to reassure clients. Bloomberg reports that Oak Hill is undeterred by these outflows. Chief Executive Officer Glenn August says the firm is ready to capitalize on dislocations across credit markets, positioning the launch as a bet on a rebound in the sector.
The launch is part of a broader trend of private credit managers opening strategies to individual investors. Oak Hill previously introduced the OFLEX interval fund, described in press coverage as a retail-focused vehicle for deploying capital into private credit strategies. Separately, T. Rowe Price and Oak Hill launched the OCREDIT private credit fund in October 2023 with over $1.5 billion in joint capital, which is distinct from the newly reported launch.
