About

OakTree Investment Advisors manages roughly $192 million in discretionary assets for individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and business entities. The firm offers portfolio management through model portfolios, sub‑advised accounts, and a distinct weekly‑screened Zacks “Black Box” trading strategy, and does not provide comprehensive financial planning or estate‑planning services.

The firm’s investment process blends macroeconomic overview, fundamental company analysis, and technical indicators to build diversified portfolios and make tactical shifts, and it may implement covered‑call strategies for income when appropriate. OakTree typically recommends custodial and execution services from Fidelity, may delegate portions of portfolio management to third‑party sub‑advisers, and serves as the communication conduit between clients and any sub‑adviser it engages.

What distinguishes OakTree from many peers is its explicit use of a high‑turnover, weekly‑rebalanced Zacks strategy that the brochure describes as suitable only for a portion of an investor’s assets, and its practice of engaging and paying sub‑advisers while billing clients through the firm. The firm also recently updated its brochure to disclose appointment as power of attorney over client assets (see Item 15 on custody) and, historically under its corporate entity, has provided securities arbitration and expert services, features not commonly highlighted by similar advisors.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
