Angel Oak Capital Advisors, an investment management firm specialising in value-driven alternative credit, has surpassed USD10 billion in assets under management across its platform of public funds, private funds and separately managed accounts.
In addition, the firm also holds one of the largest books (approximately USD3 billion) of servicing assets in the non-qualified mortgage market. Crossing USD10 billion in AUM coincides with other important milestones and growth accomplishments for the firm, including adding talent and continuing to establish itself as a clear leader in the structured credit space.
