History

[edit]

Dyal Capital was formed in 2011 by Michael Rees.[2][4][5] It provided financing to hedge funds and private equity firms by acquiring minority interests in them.[6][4][5]

Owl Rock Capital Group was founded in 2016.[2][7] It was a middle market private credit direct lending firm that dealt with credit investments.[2][7][6]

In December 2020, it was announced there would be a merger between Dyal Capital Partners and Owl Rock.[1][2] The two firms combined with a special-purpose acquisition company, Altimar Acquisition Corp to form Blue Owl.[1][2][8]

In May 2021, the transaction was completed, and Blue Owl was listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).[9][10][6] The deal was valued at $12.2 billion which included a $1.5 billion commitment from investors such as ICONIQ Capital, Federated Hermes and Liberty Mutual.[1][2]

In October 2021, Blue Owl acquired Oak Street, a private equity real estate firm for $950 million.[11][12][13]

In December 2021, Blue Owl acquired Ascentium Group, a business development office based in Hong Kong.[14] This was done as part of its plans to expand in Asia.[14]

In October 2022, Bloomberg reported that Blue Owl intended to expand its offices in Greenwich, Connecticut and had opened an office in New Jersey.[15]

In July 2024, the firm agreed to purchase a private credit firm, Atalaya Capital Management.[16]

In October 2025, Meta Platforms, Inc formed a $27 Billion joint venture with Blue Owl for the development of a Hyperion data center for AI in Richland Parish, Louisiana.[17]

In November 2025, Blue Owl announced an agreement for merging its private fund Blue Owl Capital Corporation II ("OBDC II")[18] but later called off the merger after facing revolt from investors and falling stock price.[19]

In February 2026, Blue Owl announced it would permanently restrict investor withdrawals from its primary private retail debt fund, Blue Owl Capital Corp II. At the same time, the firm sold $1.4 billion in credit assets, representing 30% of its credit assets, to maintain liquidity for its investors.[20]
