Todd Liker

Known For

• Co-leading Oaktree’s global real estate business and overseeing its Real Estate Opportunities strategy.
• Investing across property companies, assets and credit situations through Oaktree’s value-oriented platform.
• Bringing investment-banking experience in real estate, lodging and gaming from J.P. Morgan.

Career and Focus

Liker joined Oaktree in 2008 after serving as an executive director in J.P. Morgan Securities’ Real Estate, Lodging & Gaming Investment Banking group in New York and London. At Oaktree, he became a managing director and portfolio manager and co-head of real estate. Oaktree describes his responsibilities as spanning global investment strategy and operations, with oversight of the Real Estate Opportunities strategy. Earlier fund materials identify him as a co-portfolio manager alongside other senior real estate investors, with authority over investment decisions for the strategy.

Oaktree’s real estate approach applies a value-oriented discipline to property equity, debt and corporate platforms. The opportunities strategy can invest in operating assets, real estate companies and situations involving distress or complex financing. Liker’s work is therefore portfolio-level and global, rather than restricted to one asset type or geography. He holds a BSBA from Washington University’s Olin Business School and an MBA from Dartmouth’s Tuck School. The available company biography does not publish a transaction list or current portfolio attribution, so this profile describes his investment remit without assigning specific deals to him personally.
