Blue Owl Capital

Blue Owl Capital Inc. (NYSE: OWL) is a leading alternative asset manager specializing in direct lending, GP capital solutions, and real estate credit strategies, managing over $235 billion in assets across its rapidly growing investment platform. Founded in 2021 through the merger of Owl Rock Capital Group and Dyal Capital Partners, Blue Owl has quickly established itself as one of the most prominent and distinctive players in the alternative credit and GP solutions markets, building a platform that serves both borrowers seeking non-bank capital solutions and institutional investors seeking alternative credit exposure. According to its website at blueowl.com, Blue Owl's mission is to be the leading provider of capital solutions to private market participants, offering a uniquely diverse and complementary set of investment strategies that address the evolving capital needs of private equity sponsors, private companies, and real estate operators.

Blue Owl's investment platform, described at blueowl.com, is organized across three primary strategies: Credit, which encompasses direct lending and other private credit strategies for private equity-sponsored and non-sponsored middle market and large-cap borrowers; GP Solutions, formerly Dyal Capital Partners, which acquires minority equity stakes in established alternative investment management firms providing them with permanent capital to grow their businesses; and Real Estate, which provides mortgage and other real estate credit solutions to net lease and other commercial real estate operators. The Credit strategy manages multiple business development companies and institutional credit vehicles including Blue Owl Capital Corporation, one of the largest publicly traded BDCs in the United States, while the GP Solutions business has built an unrivaled portfolio of ownership stakes in leading alternative investment managers.

Blue Owl's GP Solutions business — acquired through the Dyal Capital Partners component of its founding merger — represents one of the most distinctive and strategically important businesses in the alternative investment industry, having invested in minority stakes of dozens of leading private equity, private credit, and hedge fund managers globally. According to blueowl.com, these GP stakes investments provide institutional investors with exposure to the fee streams, carried interest economics, and balance sheet of established, growing alternative investment managers, offering a differentiated return profile with strong secular tailwinds from the continued growth of the alternative asset management industry. Blue Owl's combination of direct lending scale, GP stakes investing, real estate credit, and rapidly growing AUM positions it as one of the most innovative and consequential new entrants in the alternative asset management landscape.
