APO Hybrid Value, Ares Special Opps, Iron Park / Atlantic Park, KKR Dislocation Opps, Silver Lake Alpine... probably a lot more than that...
This is what I’m looking for! Thanks
Dislocation Opps might genuinely be the worst name I've heard for a fund
Used to be called Special Situations Fund III but was rebranded Dislocation Opportunities Fund because initial strat flopped and they cleaned house, replaced PM, rolled over some LPs though many lost interest.

Blackstone TacOps is not a distressed focused fund nor is it a hedge fund - some of the names on these lists are just grossly inaccurate.
For example, King Street is known mostly for its liquid credit hedge fund strategies - parsing through BX TacOps homepage will quickly let you know that is not their mandate whatsoever. Aurelius is known for litigation focus, distressed investing, and playing in sovereign distress in the secondary markets - once again not TacOps' mandate.
Not to say TacOps can't overlap, but to draw equivalence is pretty inaccurate. That said anyone who gets hired there can probably figure that out.
Agreed on Aurelius, the prior list was largely special sits updated for Tac Opps like mandates. Although you’re wrong on King Street, they have a tactical and opportunistic credit vertical that has a similar mandate to Tac Opps
Yes and no - its not their bread and butter though
MS Tactical Value. Can do anything (like, anything) except majority equity.
Have always wondered about this strategy; never really hear about them but seem to have scaled a nice business.
The most similar is probably Brookfield SI
If you are interested in a fund that invests in private and public equities / credit would suggest checking out Blackstone Strategic Opportunities Fund.
Bain cap special sits, Oaktree SSF, GS Mezz Partners, KKR Opps are similar
Brookfield SI is a new group but very comparable, founded by ex-Blackstone TacOps
