Blue Owl Capital

It was fantastic to be back at SuperReturn International for the 2024 conference in Berlin. Blue Owl leaders from our GP Strategic Capital and Credit teams took the stage for panel discussions with industry peers. Managing Director and Co-Head of Opportunistic Lending Strategy Nicole Drapkin discussed the latest investment options in private credit, and Senior Managing Director Andrew Laurino shared his view on the future of GP Stakes investing. Reflecting on four days of engaging thought-provoking discussions, we valued the diverse perspectives on private markets shared throughout and were thrilled to reconnect with GPs and LPs.

Private credit continues to provide promising opportunities and value amid today’s economic complexities.   Watch Co-CEO Marc Lipschultz’s conversation with Bloomberg News on today’s private markets landscape, and how lenders like us are finding new opportunities for investors and the users of our capital.

We’re pleased to announce that Prima Capital Advisors is officially part of Blue Owl.   Last month, we announced the creation of our Real Estate Finance strategy through the acquisition of Prima Capital Advisors, which has approximately $10 billion in assets under management.

At Blue Owl, we believe in unlocking access to opportunity.   As part of our second annual Blue Owl Leads Together (BOLT) Month of Service, a group of volunteers from our Chicago office supported Cara Chicago in organizing donated professional clothing for its workforce program following a citywide clothing drive.   Since 1991, Cara Collective has been dedicated to unlocking the strengths of individuals experiencing homelessness and poverty and building pathways to gainful employment and community success.   See images from the event below.

Blue Owl will be back at SuperReturn International this year with senior representatives from our GP Strategic Capital and Credit teams, including Michael Rees, Sean Ward, Cara Griffiths, Andrew Laurino, Nicole Drapkin and Matthew Rees. We look forward to reconnecting with our LPs and GPs.   #SuperReturn

Getting started with private markets? Private markets, once exclusive to institutions due to high barriers, are now more accessible to individual investors thanks to increased demand and new fund structures in the market - and selecting the right manager is key.

Diversity. Opportunity. Representation. These were the resounding themes at our recent fireside chat with the multi-talented Eva Chen. In celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, the event explored Eva’s journey from journalism to fashion, authoring children’s books and her current role as tech maven. This year, we also deepened our dedication to uplifting the voices of the AAPI community by establishing an Employee Resource Group called BOBA (Blue Owl Boosting AAPI). This group has already made a positive impact in the community by reviewing scholarship applications for Apex for Youth, helping to make education more accessible for New York City students, and is also involved in our corporate partnership with AAAIM, an organization that works to increase representation of the AAPI community in the investment management industry all year round. #AAPIHeritageMonth
