Our Story
Together, we’re creating the future for alternatives
Through the combination of Dyal Capital and Owl Rock, Blue Owl was formed to offer attractive financing and capital solutions to investment management firms and their portfolio companies. As the firm continues to grow and expand our capabilities, we remain singularly focused on providing investors access to attractive risk-adjusted returns across strategies.
The majority of Blue Owl’s assets are considered permanent capital, a differentiator that enables our teams to cultivate long-standing partnerships with the organizations in which we invest and provide the confidence and resources necessary to support sustainable, long-term growth and value creation.
As we move forward as one, Blue Owl will continue to rely on the strength of its human capital to deliver an innovative and comprehensive suite of financial solutions to both the broader alternative asset management industry and the investors that it serves.
