Company Profile
Blue Owl Capital, which encompasses the legacy of Owl Rock Capital, is a prominent alternative asset manager dedicated to providing private capital solutions to businesses and offering differentiated alternative investment opportunities to institutional investors, individual investors, and insurance companies. The firm operates through three core multi-strategy platforms: Credit, Real Assets, and GP Strategic Capital. The Credit platform, originally established by Owl Rock, specializes in direct lending to U.S. middle-market companies, primarily through senior secured loans. The Real Assets platform focuses on flexible capital solutions across various asset classes and geographies, including net lease and digital infrastructure. Additionally, the GP Strategic Capital platform provides long-term minority equity and financing to private capital investment managers.
Owl Rock Capital Group was founded in 2016, establishing itself as a direct lending firm focused on the middle market. In a significant strategic move in December 2020, Owl Rock merged with Dyal Capital Partners and a special-purpose acquisition company, Altimar Acquisition Corp, to form Blue Owl Capital. This newly formed entity commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: OWL) in May 2021. The firm's founding team includes industry veterans Doug Ostrover, Marc Lipschultz, Michael Rees, and Craig Packer, with Ostrover, Lipschultz, and Packer having been instrumental in co-founding Owl Rock Capital Partners.
Blue Owl Capital's investment portfolio, particularly within its Credit platform, is diversified across numerous U.S. middle-market companies. As of December 31, 2025, Blue Owl Capital Corporation (formerly Owl Rock Capital Corporation) held investments in 234 portfolio companies. Notable investments and companies served include Ambrosia Biosciences, Hexure, Atlas Holdings, Acorns, Airbnb, Alphasense, Artic Wolf, Auction.com, Axonius, Blend, Bolt, Brex, Cloudpay, Coherent, Databricks, Doordash, Exabeam, Gingko Bioworks, AlphaSense, Anaplan, Peraton Corp., and Zendesk. The firm has also made substantial commitments to digital infrastructure, exemplified by its financing of the $27 billion Hyperion data center campus.
The leadership team at Blue Owl Capital, including co-Chief Executive Officers Doug Ostrover and Marc Lipschultz, and Co-President Craig Packer, brings extensive experience from leading financial institutions. Doug Ostrover previously co-founded GSO Capital Partners, Blackstone's alternative credit platform, while Marc Lipschultz spent over two decades at KKR, holding positions such as Global Head of Energy and Infrastructure. Craig Packer served as a Partner and Co-Head of Leveraged Finance in the Americas at Goldman Sachs & Co. This collective expertise underpins Blue Owl's disciplined investment approach and its commitment to being a preferred capital partner.
