Who We Are:

Angel Oak Companies is a diversified financial services company specializing in asset management and non-agency mortgage origination.  These two business lines allow us to pursue our vertically integrated business model where information from our ecosystem drives a continuous loop between investment management and product development.  Angel Oak offers income-driven structured credit solutions through our public and private fund platforms.

Angel Oak Capital Advisors, LLC is the asset management arm focused on identifying and executing income-driven investment strategies to address opportunities within the mortgage and structured credit markets. The firm offers investment vehicles across a range of liquidity horizons to match client needs and return objectives. Through the Public Funds, investors obtain retail access to the structured credit market via mutual funds, ETFs, UCITS, and closed-end funds. Institutional investors gain access to private mortgage credit via Angel Oak’s integrated, “originate-to-own” approach. Our model allows for full transparency and control of the origination process as well as a consistent supply of investible assets which provides a distinct competitive advantage within mortgage credit investing that has not been replicated by any of the firm’s competitors.

Angel Oak is a $17 billion investment management firm focused on providing compelling fixed income investment solutions with an added level of expertise in the securitized credit space. We are a highly entrepreneurial organization that embraces a strong service-based culture, and Angel Oak has been consistently named a Top 150 Workplace by the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Candidates will be an integral part of a successful and quickly growing firm that fosters and values innovation.
