Blue Owl Capital Inc. (NYSE: OWL) closed its Strategic Equity and Secondaries strategy, Blue Owl Strategic Equity (BOSE), on February 11 2026, securing more than $3 billion in commitments from institutional and private‑wealth investors. The final close adds a new permanent‑capital vehicle to the firm’s portfolio and expands its fee‑generating capacity.
Prior to the BOSE close, Blue Owl’s assets under management had surpassed $307 billion as of December 31 2025, and the firm had raised $17 billion in commitments during the fourth quarter of 2025. The $3 billion BOSE commitment represents a significant addition to a permanent‑capital model that has become a key differentiator for the firm, allowing it to provide long‑term capital solutions without the volatility of traditional fund cycles.
The BOSE platform focuses on GP‑led secondaries, enabling sponsors to extend ownership in high‑performing portfolio companies through continuation vehicles and minority equity transactions. By adding this strategy, Blue Owl broadens its product suite beyond credit, real assets, and GP strategic capital, positioning itself as a more comprehensive alternative‑investment partner for sponsors and investors alike.
Doug Ostrover and Marc Lipschultz, co‑CEOs of Blue Owl, said the firm is “very pleased with the strong reception to our strategy, which reflects the growing need for private capital solutions across the market.” Chris Crampton, Head of Strategic Equity, added that the firm is “deeply grateful for the strong support from our investors” and that interest from private‑equity managers remains high as they seek long‑term capital to support high‑conviction assets.
The BOSE close strengthens Blue Owl’s diversification strategy, which has included the acquisition of Prima Capital Advisors and investments in digital infrastructure. The new fund adds fee‑related earnings and reinforces the firm’s permanent‑capital base, supporting long‑term growth and expanding its reach in the rapidly expanding GP‑led secondaries market. The successful close signals confidence in Blue Owl’s execution capabilities and its ability to attract capital in a competitive environment.
