Blue Owl Capital maintains 5% withdrawal restrictions

Blue Owl Capital has decided to maintain the quarterly withdrawal cap at 5% for its two private credit funds, despite the decrease in redemption requests in the second quarter of 2026 to $4.7 billion, down from $5.4 billion in the first quarter. This measure aims to stabilize the funds' assets and reduce the impact of market volatility, as redemption requests in the OCIC fund declined to 18.8% of assets, and in the OTIC fund to 38.1%. This move comes amid structural challenges in the private credit sector, with growing concerns over the effects of artificial intelligence and rising financing costs.
