Here is what Alphyn Capital Management has to say about Oaktree Acquisition Corp. II in their Q1 2021 investor letter:
“I initiated positions in Oaktree Acquisition Corp. B (OACB), another Oaktree vehicle. The position was initiated at prices fractionally above Net Asset Value. The likely downside if they fail to complete deals or if they announce deals the market dislikes is NAV ($10/share) less some fractional friction costs, while the upside could be meaningful. Some of the froth has come out of the SPAC market, so results may be subdued, nevertheless, I believe this is a reasonable lower-risk use for some of our large cash position until I find more long-term investments.”
