Investment Risk
Certain of Oaktree strategies focus on investments that are speculative and involve a high degree of risk. There can be no assurance that such investments will increase in value, that significant losses will not be incurred or that the objectives of an investment strategy will be achieved. In addition, investing in such securities and obligations may result in the incurrence of significant costs, fees and expenses, including legal, advisory and consulting fees and expenses, costs of regulatory compliance and costs of defending third-party litigation. Other risks include, but are not limited to, regulatory risk, market conditions and governmental actions, institutional risk, potential conflicts of interest, tax matters, and lack of diversification.
Past Performance
Oaktree makes no representation, and it should not be assumed, that past investment performance is an indication of future results. Moreover, wherever there is the potential for profit there is also the possibility of loss.
