Current report
During the second quarter of 2025, industry M&A and capital markets activity remained relatively lackluster, further shining a spotlight on the importance of scale and incumbency in generating deployment opportunities during more challenged market landscapes. While the market volatility in April and subsequent pause of capital markets did not extend into the back half of the second quarter, we believe it pushed out further the return of significant M&A activity, extending pipelines across the industry.
Current report
Despite these dynamics, the second quarter of 2025 was moderately active for direct lending deployment, with $9.7 billion of originations, bringing our last twelve month gross deployment to $46.9 billion and net funded deployment to $13.5 billion. Much like in direct lending, we saw cross-platform network effects benefiting our alternative credit and investment grade credit strategies, demonstrating the expanding role that private lenders are being asked to play in the broader credit markets. In alternative credit, we renewed and upsized a forward flow agreement with a large consumer lending platform and upsized a transaction with a U.K.-based lender that funds both U.S. and U.K. small businesses.
Current report
In Real Assets, we held the first close for the seventh vintage of our net lease strategy, less than 15 months after the final close of the prior vintage. Deployment opportunities in net lease, and across the Real Assets platform broadly, remain robust, as we believe the large capital needs in the data center space are creating an important risk-reward setup. This includes the largest data center project in the U.S., which Real Assets is financing. These strategies present a differentiated proposition – offering the ability to fund the leading edge of innovation, but to do so through products and structures that are designed to be income-oriented and downside protected for our investors.
Current report
We continue to see attractive deployment opportunities for our GP Strategic Capital products, putting capital to work in the second investment out of the latest flagship GP minority stakes vintage. Capital needs across the private alternative asset management sector remain elevated, particularly in a more challenging fundraising and realization environment. Our GP minority stakes strategy stands out in this environment due to its demonstrated ability to generate return of capital, or distributions paid in, to investors. Over the past year, our GP Strategic Capital flagship funds have distributed more than $2.9 billion in a market where return of capital has been scarce, situating our funds within the top quartile on this important metric.
Current report
Credit. The increase in FPAUM for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was driven by the following:
Current report
•Credit increased $79.7 million, including an increase in Part I Fees of $8.3 million, primarilydue to continued fundraising and deployment of capital within new and existing direct lending products. Also contributing to the increase were management fees of $19.3 million from alternative credit products as a result of the Atalaya Acquisition that closed in the third quarter of 2024, as well as management fees of $16.2 million from investment grade credit products as a result of the KAM Acquisition that closed in the third quarter of 2024.
Current report
•Real Assets increased $63.2 million, primarily due to management fees of $48.2 million related to digital infrastructure products as a result of the IPI Acquisition that closed at the start of the first quarter of 2025. Management fees from digital infrastructure included $15.7 million of catch-up fees, substantially all of which were paid as contingent consideration to the sellers of the IPI business. Also contributing to the increase was continued fundraising and deployment of capital within new and existing Real Assets products, primarily ORENT and Blue Owl Real Estate Fund VI (“OREF VI”).
Current report
•GP Strategic Capital increased$14.7 million, primarily driven by fundraising in our sixth flagship minority equity stakes product.
Current report
•$23.2 million decrease in fee income earned for services provided to portfolio companies, reflecting a decrease in the volume of transactions on which we earn such fees.

Current report
•$8.6 million increase in dealer manager revenues, primarily due to growth in the distribution of OCIC and ORENT.
Current report
•$17.1 million increase in amortization related to acquisition-related equity compensation, primarily due to the Atalaya Earnouts, as the Atalaya Acquisition closed in the third quarter of 2024.
Current report

•$21.0 million increase in other operating expenses across various categories that were individually immaterial, primarily in office-related and other expenses driven by our continued growth.
Current report
Change in Earnout Liability. The change in the earnout liability for the current year period was primarily driven by the IPI Earnouts (as defined in Note 3 to our Financial Statements), as an increase in our share price drove an increase in the value of Common Units (as defined in Note 1 to our Financial Statements) delivered to sellers during the second quarter of 2025.

IPI Acquisition
Previous report
On January 3, 2025, we completed the previously announced IPI Acquisition. IPI is a digital infrastructure fund manager. The completion of the IPI Acquisition further enhances Blue Owl’s digital infrastructure strategy as part of the firm’s Real Assets platform. See Note 3 to our Financial Statements for additional information.
Previous report
Internal Reorganization
Previous report
On April 1, 2025, we completed the previously announced Internal Reorganization, pursuant to which, among other things, Blue Owl Carry became a wholly owned subsidiary of Blue Owl Holdings. Following the Internal Reorganization, each unitholder of the Blue Owl Operating Partnerships who previously held an equal number of units in each of Blue Owl Holdings and Blue Owl Carry instead holds a single class of units in Blue Owl Holdings.
Previous report
During the first quarter of 2025, industry M&A and capital markets activity was muted relative to the second half of 2024 as investors adjusted to a new Presidential administration and as headlines around tariffs introduced incremental uncertainty into the markets. Broad loan market activity declined during the quarter as spreads widened and market volatility increased. This market environment drove a moderation of industry-wide new issuance and substantially lessened the pace of refinancings, which played a significant role in volumes in 2024. For Blue Owl, continued positive net deployment and ongoing capital raising were the primary drivers of higher Credit management fees and offset modest pressure to Part I Fees from the interest rate cuts in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Previous report
The first quarter of 2025 was once again a very active quarter for direct lending deployment, with $12.8 billion of originations, bringing our last twelve month gross deployment to $55.8 billion and net funded deployment to $18.2 billion. Blue Owl played a significant role in new deals and add-ons while refinancings declined, leading to net deployment of $4.5 billion during the quarter, more than double net deployment in the fourth quarter of 2024. We were also active in deploying capital for our alternative credit strategy, where we have entered into forward flow agreements with two large consumer lending platforms, and across investment grade Credit for our insurance clients.
Previous report
We continue to see attractive deployment opportunities for our GP Strategic Capital products, as capital needs across the private alternative asset management sector remain elevated, particularly in a more challenging fundraising and realization environment. In addition to our leading franchise in larger-cap GP stakes, we recently launched a strategy intended to finance mid-cap alternative asset managers, further expanding our suite of solutions. During the quarter, we raised incremental capital in our large-cap GP minority stakes strategy, primarily from the private wealth channel, and made the first investment out of the latest vintage of this strategy.
Previous report
In Real Assets, we completed the IPI Acquisition on January 3, 2025, reflecting a significant step forward in Blue Owl’s presence in the digital infrastructure ecosystem. In combination with the scaled capabilities in our Net Lease and Real Estate Credit businesses, Blue Owl is able to provide an even wider range of cross-asset solutions, with offerings across investment grade, core, and opportunistic categories.
Previous report
We continue to actively deploy capital in our net lease strategy across a number of scaled opportunities, with our latest fund now over 87% committed despite having just held a final close in the first quarter of 2024. Our pipeline of deployment opportunities remains robust, reflecting the very significant capital needs of corporations, and we continue to see strong demand from investors in these products.

Previous wording
During the first quarter of 2025, global equity and debt markets experienced volatility driven by elevated inflation, economic slowdown and ongoing developments regarding international trade and economic policies. We believe that our management-fee centric business model and base of Permanent Capital contribute to the resiliency of our earnings and the strength of our business growth, particularly during periods of market volatility. As global economic and geopolitical uncertainty continues to ramp up into the second quarter, we believe our business model will prove to be stable and defensive, as we demonstrated in prior periods of enhanced uncertainty such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent spike in global inflation. Likewise, we believe that our products are well-suited for this type of market environment and should demonstrate the benefits of income generation, inflation protection and structural downside protection through periods of dislocation.

Fundraising and capital deployment contributed to management fee growth of over 30% over the last twelve months, compared with the corresponding period. We ended the first quarter of 2025 with substantial available capital to deploy, reporting approximately $23.4 billion of AUM not yet paying fees.

Management uses AUM not yet paying fees as an indicator of management fees that will come online as we deploy existing assets in products that charge fees based on deployed and not uncalled capital, as well as AUM that is currently subject to a fee holiday that will expire in the future.

Our capital base is heavily weighted toward Permanent Capital. We view the permanency and duration of the products that we manage as a differentiator in our industry and as a means of measuring the stability of our future revenue streams. The chart below presents the composition of our management fees by remaining product duration. Changes in these relative percentages will occur over time as the mix of products we offer changes. For example, our Real Assets products have a higher concentration in what we refer to as “long-dated” funds, or funds in which the remaining contractual life is five years or more, may cause our percentage of management fees from Permanent Capital to decline.
