Blue Owl Capital

To celebrate Women’s History Month, Blue Owl Celebrates partnered with BOWE (Blue Owl for Women’s Empowerment) to plan a campaign including educational content, events in New York and London and give back activities to honor women’s achievements, spark meaningful conversations and empower the next generation of women leaders at our firm. As part of the celebrations, we welcomed journalist and author Stacey Vanek Smith for a conversation about career development strategies for women. It was an empowering conversation focused on how women can advocate for themselves, lift up others and succeed in the workplace. Huge thank you to Stacey for the thought-provoking conversation!

In some ways, the worlds of public and private credit are converging. There is increasing fluidity in borrowing and investing across public and private markets, as traditional institutions seek the attractive yields, customized financing solutions and insulation from public market volatility that private credit investment models can offer.    This week, Co-CEO Marc Lipschultz joined a panel at Bloomberg Invest, where he discussed the case for private credit, the unique role it plays and how access to capital in this space presents an attractive alternative for investors.   Watch the full panel moderated by Dani Burger here: https://lnkd.in/eV4_593K

The purpose of private credit is to serve as the durable and predictable capital solution in both steady and volatile economic times. Co-CEO Marc Lipschultz joined Matthew Miller and Katie Greifeld on Bloomberg News TV live from Bloomberg Invest, where he discussed the value of private credit in today’s environment and the need for both public and private markets for a healthy economy. Watch the full interview below.

During these cold winter months, providing a quality meal to those in need can go a long way. Last week, we invited members of BOP’N (Blue Owl Pride Network), our employee resource group open to all members of the LGBTQ+ community and allies, to volunteer to pack meals at God's Love We Deliver. God’s Love We Deliver is a non-sectarian organization aimed at improving the well-being of people living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other serious illnesses by alleviating hunger and malnutrition. Thank you to everyone who participated in this event!

How are we challenging the status quo in private markets? Earlier this month, Managing Director Gary Rozier was invited to address this question during a fireside chat at Raymond James’ Black Financial Advisor Network Symposium. During the conversation, Gary spoke about his career journey, his role at Blue Owl and the opportunities we’re seeing in private markets. Thank you to Chris Fils, CFP® MBA for moderating and to everyone who attended. #RJBFAN #BFANsymposium
