Revenue & Sales Performance

Rank 3

Adjusted net revenue for Q1 2026 was over $1.8 billion, up 5% from Q1 2025, driven by higher investment advisory fees and accrued carried interest.
Average assets under management (AUM) at $1.78 trillion, up 9.6% year-over-year.
Growth fueled by multi-asset, fixed income, and alternatives delivering positive net flows; equities, especially U.S. growth-oriented strategies, saw outflows.
Target Date franchise showed solid growth with $4.9 billion net inflows, driven by blend products.
ETFs and SMA businesses are expanding, with ETFs generating over $2.8 billion and SMAs $962 million in net inflows in Q1.
New product developments and partnerships (e.g., with Goldman Sachs, Aspida) expected to broaden distribution and revenue streams by mid-2026.
Continued investments in strategic initiatives and alternative credit expected to support future growth.
The firm is opportunistic in capital deployment and sees strong demand from institutional clients for differentiated products.

Profitability & Margins

Q1 2026 adjusted EPS was $2.52, up 13% year-over-year and 3% from Q4 2025.
Increase driven by higher revenue from growing AUM, lower expenses, lower tax rate, and reduced share count.
2026 adjusted operating expenses expected to rise 3% to 6% over 2025, reflecting investments in strategic priorities but within guidance (~$4.6 billion).
Investment in growth areas such as ETFs, SMAs, retirement solutions, and alternatives anticipated.
Ongoing expense management initiatives aim to drive efficiency and partially self-fund growth investments.
Capital allocation to be opportunistic including M&A, share repurchases, and business investments; no intent to build cash levels further.

Capital Expenditure Plans

Yes

Continued investment in strategic initiatives throughout the year, absorbing early Q1 expense management tailwinds.
Focus on growth areas including retirement-oriented outcomes and solutions, modern portfolio building blocks (ETF, SMA, interval funds).

Opportunistic and selective capital deployment through M&A, share repurchases, and investing in the business via seed and co-invest strategies.
Capacity to self-fund a significant portion of investments through efficiency improvements.
Expansion and product development in alternatives, including collaboration with T. Rowe Price and Goldman Sachs (e.g., co-branded target date strategies, multi-asset offerings).
Building out alternatives offering to support wealth partners across client segments from ultra-high net worth to mass affluent.
No expected cash build; maintaining significant deployable capital for opportunistic use during market stress/dislocation.

Fundraising & Capital Structure

In Q4 2025, OHA held the final closing of the OLED fund, focused on senior direct lending, with $17.7 billion in capital—its largest single fundraise ever.
OHA achieved record fundraising in 2024 and 2025 combined, raising nearly $40 billion of capital including leverage.
Currently, OHA has over $30 billion in dry powder across various strategies, positioning it well for opportunistic capital deployment.
OHA sees significant institutional interest for dislocation funds and is receiving inquiries for new allocations.
OHA is advancing partnership expansions (e.g., with Aspida and First Abu Dhabi Bank) and developing new products, including ETFs and interval funds targeted for launch later in the year.
No explicit announcements of future specific debt or equity fundraising rounds were detailed, but OHA is actively exploring opportunities and remains well-capitalized for growth and acquisitions.

Order Book & Pipeline

The institutional pipeline is characterized as a slow-moving, deliberate process with disciplined asset allocation and rebalancing.
No significant immediate shifts in institutional interest due to market dynamics; institutions maintain balanced portfolios.
There is strong demand from institutional investors globally, with many seeking proposals for dislocation funds amid current market conditions.
Interest from institutional clients is robust, with capital allocations ongoing despite broader market uncertainty.
The retail/wealth market shows increased redemption requests across the industry, but this segment remains smaller and more sentiment-driven.
Overall, persistent significant inquiry and engagement from institutional investors indicate a healthy orderbook pipeline, especially for opportunistic capital deployment.
