Meet the Investor Series: Candace Myung, Oaktree Capital Management

In this episode of Meet the Investor, Joey Mouracadeh sits down with Candace Myung, Managing Director in Oaktree Capital Management's Special Situations Group, part of one of the world's leading alternative investment managers with over US$220 billion in assets under management. What exactly is a "special situation"? And why has Oaktree built one of its flagship strategies around it? Candace explains how the strategy has evolved beyond its distressed investing roots to invest across debt and equity, using bespoke structures to capitalise on opportunities created by company-specific challenges rather than relying solely on broader market cycles. The discussion also covers Oaktree's approach to downside protection, operational value creation and where special situations may sit within a private markets portfolio.
