Blue Owl Capital

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. Thank you to the teams at iCapital Connect 2026 and Barron's Advisor Independent Summit for bringing the industry together for these important conversations. LILA PHOTO #BAINDEPENDENT

AI is changing enterprise software, with some platforms better positioned than others to adapt. 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.

Statement from Blue Owl Capital on OBDC II: "Contrary to what has been reported, we are not halting investor liquidity in OBDC II. In fact, we are accelerating the return of capital. This asset sale will return 30% of OBDC II investors’ capital at book value to shareholders equally on a pro rata basis. Instead of resuming a 5% quarterly tender—under which only tendering investors would receive a partial return of capital—we are distributing an amount six times greater and returning capital to all shareholders within the next 45 days.   In the coming quarters, we will continue to pursue this plan to return capital to OBDC II investors."
