Blue Owl Capital (NYSE: OWL) is preparing to launch a credit secondaries strategy and is in discussions with investors. CEO Marc Lipschultz highlighted the potential of this market, despite concerns about a possible mania. The global transaction volume for secondaries reached a record $226 billion in 2025, a 41% increase from 2024. Recently, Blue Owl faced scrutiny after capping fund redemptions at 5% due to high withdrawal requests, attributed to market concerns over AI disruptions. Lipschultz reassured that their tech portfolio remains strong, with no significant red flags.
