According to ME News, on July 31 (UTC+8), Blue Owl Capital raised approximately $7.6 billion in total for the second quarter of 2026, a significant decline compared to approximately $12.1 billion in the same period last year. Of this, fundraising for its flagship private credit business amounted to only about $1.8 billion—roughly half of the previous quarter and the lowest single-quarter level since 2023. This was primarily driven by volatility in the private credit market and a wave of redemptions from high-net-worth individual investors, particularly in its non-traded BDC products. In contrast, its real estate/real assets strategy—including AI data center-related investments—performed well and contributed the majority of new capital raised. The company’s AUM still grew to approximately $319 billion, with profit metrics largely meeting or slightly exceeding expectations. Blue Owl Capital Inc. is a leading alternative asset manager headquartered in New York, specializing in private market capital solutions. As of June 30, 2026, it managed approximately $319 billion in assets. (Source: BlockBeats)

Summary
Blue Owl Capital raised $7.6 billion in Q2 2026, down from $12.1 billion a year earlier, as investor sentiment weakened amid market volatility. Its private credit business declined to $1.8 billion, the lowest since 2023, as high-net-worth investors pulled back, particularly from non-traded BDCs. Real estate and AI data centers partially offset these losses. AUM increased to $319 billion, with earnings in line or slightly above forecasts. Fear and Greed Index readings indicate continued caution in the asset management sector.
