What BLUE OWL CAPITAL INC. does
In the company’s own words
Blue Owl Capital Inc. (NYSE: OWL) operates as a global alternative asset manager headquartered at www.blueowl.com with approximately 1,365 employees worldwide. The firm manages $307.4 billion in assets under management as of December 31, 2025, with $187.7 billion in fee-paying AUM, positioning it as a significant player in the alternative investment space.
The company deploys private capital across three primary platforms: Credit, Real Assets, and GP Strategic Capital. The Credit platform, representing $157.8 billion in AUM, encompasses direct lending to upper-middle-market companies, alternative credit strategies, investment-grade credit products, and liquid credit through collateralized loan obligations. The Real Assets platform manages $80.6 billion in AUM through net lease real estate strategies, real estate credit solutions, and digital infrastructure investments. The GP Strategic Capital platform, with $69.1 billion in AUM, focuses on acquiring minority equity stakes in alternative asset managers and providing debt financing to private capital firms, complemented by professional sports minority stakes investments.
Blue Owl was formed in May 2021 through the combination of Owl Rock Capital Group, a credit solutions leader founded in 2016, and Dyal Capital Partners, a capital solutions provider established in 2010. Subsequent acquisitions expanded the firm's capabilities, including Oak Street Real Estate Finance in December 2021, Wellfleet Asset Management in April 2022, and more recently Atalaya Capital Management in September 2024 and IPI Partners in January 2025.
The firm's business model emphasizes Permanent Capital vehicles, which generated approximately 85 percent of management fees in 2025. These indefinite-term products provide earnings stability and allow the company to maintain long-term investment horizons without forced exit requirements. Blue Owl serves a diversified institutional investor base including pension funds, endowments, foundations, family offices, and insurance companies, alongside individual clients accessed through wealth management platforms.
The company operates as a single reportable segment, applying a unified one-firm approach to resource allocation and strategic decisions. Its competitive advantages include scale, extensive alternative asset manager relationships, a high-quality investor base with significant cross-selling opportunities, and an experienced management team with proven track records across multiple market cycles.
