Oaktree Capital, which began trading on the New York Stock Exchange today�under the ticker OAK was falling 3.7% in recent trading, to $41.43. The company had a disappointing IPO yesterday: As Bloomberg reports,��the debt-focused�private equity firm�raised�about $380.2 million, or 27% less than expected.
