T. Rowe Price and Oak Hill Advisors Launch “OCREDIT” Private Credit Fund<\/h1>\n

October 2, 2023 | T. Rowe Price Group, Inc.<\/a><\/p>\n

T.\u00a0Rowe Price<\/span>\u00a0and Oak Hill Advisors (OHA) are pleased to announce the launch of their joint investment offering, the T.\u00a0Rowe Price OHA Select Private Credit Fund (OCREDIT). OCREDIT provides an OHA-managed private credit investment solution for income-oriented individual investors with the convenience of a non-traded, perpetual-life business development company (BDC) structure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

OCREDIT is launching with\u00a0$1.5 billion<\/span>\u00a0of investible capital, making it one of the industry’s largest non-traded BDC launches. This includes over\u00a0$600 million<\/span>\u00a0raised in equity commitments from T.\u00a0Rowe Price<\/span>\u00a0and a group of global institutional investors with long-term investment orientations, in addition to\u00a0$875 million<\/span>\u00a0in credit facility commitments. OCREDIT will build on this momentum by opening this perpetual offering to individual investors.<\/p>\n

“From the beginning of our partnership with OHA, we have shared a vision to build a broader business in private markets by combining their expertise in private credit with T.\u00a0Rowe Price’s<\/span>\u00a0global scale,” said\u00a0Rob Sharps<\/span>, chief executive officer and president of T.\u00a0Rowe Price<\/span>. “OCREDIT offers just that, bringing the benefits of private credit \u2013 historically available only to institutional investors \u2013 to individual investors and their advisors.”<\/p>\n

OCREDIT seeks to generate attractive returns driven by generally strong and stable current income through different market environments, including periods of market volatility.\u00a0The fund invests in a diversified portfolio of primarily senior secured, privately originated loans to larger, well-established, recession-resistant companies located predominately in\u00a0North America<\/span>. OCREDIT harnesses the\u00a0differentiated capabilities of OHA’s\u00a0$61 billion<\/span>\u00a0credit specialist platform developed and proven over its 30-year history.<\/p>\n

“Consistent with OHA’s history, OCREDIT focuses on market-leading companies that we believe offer better credit profiles with experienced management teams, diverse sources of revenue and the potential to weather challenging market conditions,” said\u00a0Eric Muller<\/span>, portfolio manager and partner at OHA and OCREDIT chief executive officer. “We are a “go-to” financing partner for companies and their private equity sponsors, which enhances sourcing and our ability to lead and structure transactions with pricing and terms that reward our investors.”<\/p>\n

OCREDIT seeks to capitalize on significant continued growth of the market for private credit, which is projected to expand from\u00a0$1.5 trillion<\/span>\u00a0at the end of 2022 to\u00a0$2.3 trillion<\/span>\u00a0by the end of 2027, according to data from Preqin.<\/p>\n

“We expect the substantial growth in demand for private financing solutions to continue to drive an attractive investment opportunity for OCREDIT,” said\u00a0Alan Schrager<\/span>, senior partner and portfolio manager at OHA and chairman of OCREDIT. “We believe that directly originated loans at the top of the capital structure offer the most attractive absolute and relative value in corporate credit currently. Our highly selective approach and deep expertise as a leading credit specialist over decades also position us to manage downside risk across market cycles.”<\/p>\n

T.\u00a0Rowe Price<\/span>\u00a0acquired Oak Hill Advisors, L.P., in\u00a0December 2021<\/span>\u00a0to accelerate its expansion into alternative markets, complementing its existing global platform and ongoing strategic investments in its core capabilities. OCREDIT combines OHA’s institutional-quality1\u00a0<\/sup>investment strategy with T.\u00a0Rowe Price’s<\/span>\u00a0differentiated investor experience and world-class client service.<\/p>\n
