Oaktree Strategic Credit Fund has announced a regular distribution of $0.16 per share for its common shares, a move that underscores its commitment to returning value to shareholders. This distribution is payable to shareholders of record as of October 28, 2026, and will be paid on or about November 25, 2026.
The fund's decision to declare this distribution comes as it reports a slight decrease in its net asset value (NAV) per share, which fell from $22.32 as of August 31, 2026, to $22.24 as of September 30, 2026. The fund's aggregate NAV was approximately $4.2 billion, with a fair value of its investment portfolio at around $6.9 billion and outstanding debt totaling approximately $2.7 billion.
This update is significant for Oaktree Strategic Credit Fund, as it reflects the fund's ongoing strategy to provide returns to its investors while managing its portfolio effectively. The fund's net debt-to-equity leverage ratio stood at approximately 0.62 times, indicating a balanced approach to leveraging its investments.
In its recent filing, the fund also highlighted its continuous public offering of up to $5 billion in shares. This offering, alongside a private offering of unregistered Class I shares, indicates the fund's proactive approach to capital raising and investor engagement.
As part of its commitment to transparency, Oaktree Strategic Credit Fund intends to report its net asset value per share at the end of each month on its website, ensuring that shareholders have access to timely financial information.
Details regarding the distribution and NAV were disclosed in a recent SEC filing (accession number 0001193125-26-431913), which also emphasized the fund's strategy to reinvest distributions for shareholders participating in the fund's distribution reinvestment plan.
Looking ahead, Oaktree Strategic Credit Fund is expected to continue its monthly reporting of financial metrics and shareholder communications, maintaining its focus on delivering value to its investors.
