Limited for several years. He is the co-Founder and co-Chairman of Oaktree Capital Management, a global investment firm specializing in alternative investment strategies.

In October 2021, the firm obtained an asset management license in Korea, enabling it to manage privately placed funds for qualified professional investors. Following the licensing, the company changed its legal name to Topor & Co. Korea Asset Management.[2]
