Oaktree lose its shine?

I’ve always had a huge amount of appreciation for Howard Marks memo and what was known to be their investment culture.

I’ve been seeing them in transactions more recently where I was fairly unimpressed by their people and some of the publicly available info on their fund returns seem rather unimpressive. Are they still some of the smartest guys in HY/distressed credit? Or are they living off of past reputation?
