Business Description

Blue Owl is a global alternative asset manager with $307.4 billion in AUM as of December 31, 2025. Anchored by a strong Permanent Capital base, we deploy private capital across Credit, Real Assets and GP Strategic Capital platforms on behalf of institutional and private wealth clients. Our flexible, consultative approach helps position us as a partner of choice for businesses seeking capital solutions to support their sustained growth. Our management team is comprised of seasoned investment professionals with decades of experience building alternative investment businesses. We employ approximately 1,365 people globally. Blue Owl was formed in May 2021 through the combination of Owl Rock (as defined in Note 2 to our Financial Statements), a leader in credit solutions, and Dyal Capital (as defined in Note 1 to our Financial Statements), a leading capital solutions provider to large private capital managers. In December 2021, we acquired Oak Street (as defined in Note 10 to our Financial Statements), which expanded our offerings to include real estate-focused products. In April 2022, we acquired Wellfleet (as defined in Note 10 to our Financial Statements), which expanded our reach in the broadly syndicated leveraged loans market, including CLO product offerings. In August 2023, the Par Four Acquisition (as defined in Note 1 to our Financial Statements) expanded our liquid credit strategy team. In December 2023, the CHI Acquisition (as defined in Note 1 to our Financial Statements) expanded our offerings to include mid-to-late-stage equity investments into biopharmaceutical and healthcare companies. In June 2024, the Prima Acquisition (as defined in Note 1 to our Financial Statements) expanded our real estate finance offerings. In July 2024, the KAM Acquisition expanded our offerings to provide solutions for insurance clients. In September 2024, the Atalaya Acquisition expanded our alternative investment credit-focused products. In January 2025, the IPI Acquisition expanded our offerings to include digital infrastructure-focused products and complemented our existing net lease strategy. Our breadth of offerings and Permanent Capital base enable us to offer a differentiated, holistic framework of capital solutions to middle market companies, large alternative asset managers and corporate real estate owners and tenants. We provide these solutions through our Permanent Capital vehicles and long-dated private funds, which we believe provide our business with a high degree of earnings stability and predictability. Our Permanent Capital vehicles generally have an indefinite term and do not have requirements to exit investments after a prescribed period to return invested capital to investors, except as required by applicable law or pursuant to redemption requests that can only be made after significant lock-up periods. For the year ended December 31, 2025, approximately 85% of our management fees were earned from Permanent Capital vehicles. Our global, high-caliber investor base includes a diversified mix of institutional investors, including prominent public and private pension funds, endowments, foundations, family offices, private banks, high net worth individuals, asset managers and insurance companies, as well as individual clients, accessed through well-known wealth management firms. We have continued to grow our investor base and presence in the growing private markets and alternative asset management sector by emphasizing our disciplined investment approach, client service, and portfolio performance. Our management takes a one-firm approach when making operating decisions and determining how to allocate resources. As a result, we currently operate as a single reportable segment. Management regularly reviews our revenues by product line and our expenses by type at the total firm level, and therefore we have presented details of our operating results throughout this report consistent with how management reviews our results. Our revenues are generated primarily from the investment advisory and management agreements we have with our products. See Note 2 to our Financial Statements for a detailed description of how we earn our revenues.…
