Private-credit shadows: Blue Owl’s move stirs worry over liquidity and risk

Blue Owl Capital’s decision to accelerate investor returns by selling loan assets from a private fund has traders worried about liquidity in the rapidly grown, opaque private-credit market. The sector, funded by pension funds and other institutions and lightly regulated, has surged since 2008, making the move appear routine to some but a potential warning sign to others. The episode underscores concerns about retail investors in semiliquid private-credit products and the risk of spillovers to broader financial markets, even as Blue Owl and peers push back on claims of a liquidity freeze.
