Since reopening, assets have about doubled ($2 billion now, according to Morningstar). Performance has been good overall, but its 1-year and YTD returns are noticeably lagging, say, DoubleLine's massive DLTNX. It is making a strong comeback over the past month, though.
For what its worth, I had about half of my bond allocation in the fund for several years until about a month ago (with my luck, it was most likely before it made its comeback). I lowered my bond allocation and consolidated it all with PIMIX.
For those interested in the financial condition of Oaktree Capital, the subadvisor currently managing ~65% of RNOTX (RiverNorth's high income offering) and significant stakeholder in DoubleLine Capital (the subadvisor of RNDLX), OAK will being holding its earnings conference call today (10/29) at 11AM E.T.

@TheShadow Probably should anticipate a liquidation notice re. RNEOX in the near future. The changes they made to the fund's modus operandi last year appear to have made no difference whatsoever; simply not a vehicle that is attracting any interest.
