30 Years of Oaktree

In celebration of Oaktree’s 30th anniversary on April 10, 2025,
cofounders Howard Marks (Co-Chairman), Bruce Karsh (Co-Chairman
and Chief Investment Officer), and Sheldon Stone (Principal and
Co-Portfolio Manager, High Yield Bonds) held a fireside chat for
employees where they shared stories about Oaktree’s origins and
the firm’s journey over the last three decades. We’re excited to
share an excerpt from their conversation.
