A joint venture between OppenheimerFunds and The Carlyle Group have launched the OFI Carlyle Private Credit Fund, a $1 billion interval fund that plans to allocate its assets in a variety of credit-related strategies, including direct lending, opportunistic credit, structured credit, and liquid credit to companies around the world.
Shares are priced at $10.35 each and have a sales load of up to 3.50 percent. The minimum initial investment is $25,000 for regular and retirement plan accounts, and subsequent investments may be made with at least $5,000.
