Show Notes
Blue Owl Capital, a prominent private credit firm, recently faced a significant investor exodus from two of its non-traded funds, Blue Owl Technology Income Corporation and Blue Owl Credit Income Corporation. Investors requested a total of $5.4 billion in redemptions, but the firm capped it at their quarterly limit of 5%. The smaller fund, OTIC, saw a 40.7% redemption request, while the larger OCIC, valued at $36 billion, faced a 21.9% request. Despite market jitters over AI impacting software companies, Blue Owls co-founder, Craig Packer, noted strong performance from their portfolio companies. This event aligns with a broader industry trend, as firms like Apollo, BlackRock, and Morgan Stanley have recently imposed redemption gates on funds. Analysts at Morgan Stanley now predict an 8% annual default rate in private credit loans to software companies through mid-2027, compared to 5.5% in syndicated loans, indicating a potential software-focused default wave with weak returns, but overall systemic risks remain low in the space.
