Oaktree Capital - Summer Analyst?

Does Oaktree Capital (LA office) take Summer Analysts?
IF they do, are they ever given FT offers?
Thanks.

Is it Possible to Get a SA at Oaktree?

Oaktree Capital Management is a Los Angeles-headquartered private equity and hedge fund behemoth with approximately $123 billion in assets under management. They have offices around the world, including in New York and London. The firm is known for high salaries and its notoriously difficult interview process.

The Memos from Howard Marks, the firm’s Co-Chairman, are a must-read for anyone interested in the industry.

On the possibility for an SA position or a FT position out of undergrad, here are some answers from the WSO community:

  • From WSO user @CRE_Banker" : From discussions with connections at Oaktree LA they rarely take on undergrads as Summer Analysts and they don't hire undergrads FT.
  • From WSO user @Solidarity" : I know a few people who have gotten Oaktree internships... I don't think they give out fulltime offers though but they've definitely taken interns for a DCM type role in NY. Not sure about LA.
  • From Certified Hedge Fund Professional – 1st Year Analyst @Matrick" : I have seen long-term internship for students at the Oaktree London office

We know of at least one WSO user got an undergrad SA interview, so there are likely others too. Just don’t count on a full-time offer.
