We are pleased to announce the final close for our Asset Special Opportunities Fund IX (ASOF IX) with approximately $2.9 billion of total capital commitments, exceeding its original target of $2.5 billion.   ASOF IX is a diversified, asset-backed opportunistic strategy with a flexible mandate, enabling dynamic allocation across changing market conditions.    This result reflects our strong conviction in asset-based finance as a growing area of the private credit market and our ongoing commitment to delivering private capital solutions that generate risk-adjusted returns for our investors.   Learn more: https://lnkd.in/edhTxyH2 

Diverse perspectives create more well-rounded teams and ultimately stronger organizations. As part of our Blue Owl Celebrates series, we were pleased to welcome Peloton Interactive instructor and author Emma Lovewell to our office for a special fireside chat with Chief Legal Officer Neena Reddy in honor of Women’s History Month. Emma shared insights from her experiences building an authentic personal brand, embracing her identity as an Asian American woman, and finding motivation deep within. At Blue Owl, we are proud to foster a culture of belonging where different views are both celebrated and elevated. Thank you to everyone who joined, and to our Blue Owl for Women’s Empowerment (BOWE) Employee Resource Group for helping to bring this meaningful conversation to life.

As public markets become increasingly concentrated, investors are turning to private markets to build more resilient portfolios. Sean Connor, CEO of Global Private Wealth, joined Michael Sidgmore on stage in Arizona to discuss this dynamic and where we see opportunity across private markets today.

Software embedded in specialized, mission-critical workflows may be more resilient – and, in many cases, strengthened by AI – while thinner, interface-led platforms may face greater disruption. The most defensible platforms tend to operate in high-stakes environments such as regulated industries where accuracy is essential. Recently, Alan Cline of Hg joined our Co‑Head of Technology Investing Erik Bissonnette to discuss how AI is impacting the landscape – and how market leaders in this space are evaluating the opportunities and risks.
