Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas Non-traded BDC Loss Lawyers Are Continuing To Investigate

Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas is actively investigating brokerage firms that unsuitably recommended or misrepresented the Oaktree Strategic Credit Fund, a high-risk and illiquid alternative investment currently facing declining share values and significant liquidity issues. Investors who suffered financial damages in this private credit fund are encouraged to consult with experienced non-traded BDC loss lawyers to determine if they can recover their losses through FINRA arbitration.

With non-traded business development companies (non-traded BDCs) facing problems due to liquidity issues, high redemption requests, sector concentration risks, and more, Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas (investorlawyers.com) is continuing to speak with investors who suffered losses in the Oaktree Strategic Credit Fund.

• Oaktree Strategic Credit Fund investors saw their income from this non-traded BDC go down.
• The non-traded BDC’s share price, originally at $25/share, was at  $22.64/share in February 2026.
• The private credit fund recently reported a decline in redemption requests this second quarter that fell under its 5% limit, which it was able to meet. However, it was just in March that Brookfield Asset Management, which is the parent company of fund manager Oaktree Capital Management, had to help fulfill withdrawal requests that went above that limit to 8.5%.

Why Might An Oaktree Strategic Credit Fund Investor Have Grounds For Suing Their Broker?

• This is an illiquid investment that should only be sold to accredited investors who qualify. There are concerns that this non-traded BDC may have been unsuitably sold to retail investors and retirees with a lower risk tolerance level than what this type of alternative investment requires.

 

• Misrepresentations and omissions: Some Oaktree Strategic Credit Fund investors are contending that they were never fully informed of the liquidity issues, credit risks, and valuation uncertainties in a private credit investment that is mostly involved in privately negotiated loans to US companies. Because this non-traded BDC doesn’t appear on any exchange, investors were only ever going to be able to sell their shares during limited quarterly repurchase offers.
• If your financial advisor failed to properly diversify your account, instead overconcentrating your money in this non-traded BDC and other illiquid, risky investments, you also may be able to file a claim for financial recovery.
• Failure to properly supervise your account can warrant suing the brokerage firm for damages, as can Regulation Best Interest violations, negligence, gross negligence, broker fraud, and more.
