What Angel Oak Capital Advisors does

Angel Oak Capital Advisors is an Atlanta-based fixed income investment management firm founded in 2008 to capitalize on opportunities in mortgage and structured credit markets following the global financial crisis. The firm manages approximately $25.1 billion in assets under management across nine public fund vehicles — mutual funds (Multi-Strategy Income Fund, UltraShort Income Fund), an interval fund (Strategic Credit Fund), five ETFs (High Yield Opportunities, Income, Mortgage-Backed Securities, Total Return, UltraShort Income), and a closed-end fund (Financial Strategies Income Term Trust) — plus institutional solutions including non-qualified mortgage strategies, bank subordinated debt, commercial real estate lending, and customized portfolios for insurance companies and other institutions.

The firm operates a vertically integrated platform spanning origination, securitization, and investment management, supported by proprietary technology that runs thousands of daily scenario analyses for collateral and bond structure evaluation. With $22 billion in cumulative securitization issuance, Angel Oak is one of the largest securitizers of non-qualified mortgages in the United States. Revenue is generated through management fees and expense ratios (ranging from 0.34% to 1.90% across funds) on its public vehicles, plus higher-fee institutional mandates distributed through a national sales team covering broker-dealers, RIAs, and institutional direct channels.

In October 2025, Brookfield Asset Management acquired a majority interest in Angel Oak Companies, LP, providing global distribution scale while Angel Oak continues to operate independently within Brookfield's credit platform. The firm employs approximately 75 professionals across offices in Atlanta, New York, and the Seattle area, and is co-led by Managing Partners Sreeni Prabhu and Michael Fierman.
