Oak Hill Advisors
Oak Hill Advisors, L.P. is a leading alternative credit investment manager with approximately $60 billion in assets under management, providing institutional investors with access to a comprehensive range of credit strategies spanning leveraged loans, high yield bonds, distressed credit, private credit, infrastructure credit, and CLOs. Founded in 1987 and managing credit assets since 1991, Oak Hill Advisors has built one of the most experienced and respected credit investment platforms in the alternative investment industry through more than three decades of continuous credit investing across multiple economic and market cycles. According to its website at oakhilladvisors.com, the firm's investment philosophy is grounded in deep fundamental research, rigorous credit underwriting, active portfolio management, and a long-term perspective that prioritizes capital preservation alongside attractive return generation.
Oak Hill Advisors' investment platform, described at oakhilladvisors.com, encompasses broadly syndicated leveraged loan and high yield bond strategies for institutional investors seeking liquid credit exposure; private credit including direct lending, mezzanine, and other privately negotiated credit structures for borrowers who prefer relationship-based private financing; distressed and opportunistic credit strategies that capitalize on market dislocations and complex situations; infrastructure debt providing credit solutions to infrastructure asset owners and developers; and CLO management for structured credit investors seeking exposure to leveraged loan portfolios in a CLO vehicle format. In 2022, Oak Hill Advisors was acquired by T. Rowe Price — the respected global investment management firm — creating a combined platform that extends Oak Hill's credit capabilities through T. Rowe Price's significant institutional and retail distribution network.
Oak Hill Advisors' acquisition by T. Rowe Price has strengthened the firm's institutional platform while preserving the investment independence and credit-focused culture that have defined Oak Hill since its founding. According to oakhilladvisors.com, the T. Rowe Price affiliation provides Oak Hill with enhanced distribution capabilities, institutional client relationships, and operational resources while T. Rowe Price gains a leading alternative credit platform that extends its investment management offerings into the rapidly growing private credit and alternative fixed income markets. Oak Hill Advisors' combination of $60 billion in AUM, 35-year credit investing heritage, comprehensive credit strategy platform, T. Rowe Price affiliation, and reputation for credit research excellence establishes it as one of the most experienced and respected credit investment managers in the global alternative investment industry.
