Milwood Hobbs, the Managing Director and Head of Sourcing & Origination at Oaktree, recently discussed the challenges of sourcing credit deals. Unlike public-market equity, private credit deals require a more nuanced approach to identify willing sellers.

Hobbs, who has previous experience in leveraged finance origination and sales at Goldman Sachs, emphasized the importance of building relationships to receive deal offers. He also discussed the analytical process involved in evaluating opportunities and the need to identify the most promising investment prospects.

With his extensive experience in the credit market, Hobbs is a valuable resource for navigating these complex financial landscapes.
