Summary
PERE reports that Oaktree Capital Management, the Los Angeles-based alternative investment manager, held a final close on Oaktree Real Estate Opportunities Fund IX in June 2025 after amassing $2.6 billion, according to the publication. The article, headlined as the fund coming up short on its ninth real estate opportunity vehicle, frames the close as below expectations, though the primary source excerpt available is limited and does not detail the original fundraising target.
The final close came several months before Brookfield agreed to buy the outstanding shares of Oaktree, a transaction that places the fund's fundraising outcome in the context of a broader corporate change at the manager. The primary source does not provide further detail on the terms of the Brookfield agreement.
Publisher context associated with the story indicates the fund had raised $163 million and was over 70% deployed at the time of reporting. The vehicle is categorized by the publication under fundraising, managers, and opportunistic debt, with coverage spanning Europe and North America. Earlier context on Oaktree's real estate franchise references the Opportunities Fund V raising $1.3 billion against a $1.5 billion target, but those figures relate to a prior vehicle and are not part of the Fund IX close.
Allocators tracking Oaktree's real estate platform should note the gap between the $2.6 billion final close and the stated fundraising outcome, as well as the pending change in ownership following the Brookfield agreement.
