Faruqi & Faruqi Investigates Potential Claims Against Blue Owl Capital for Investors

Legal Action for Blue Owl Capital Investors

In a recent announcement, Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a prominent national securities law firm, has initiated an investigation concerning potential claims on behalf of investors of Blue Owl Capital Inc. Those who bought or acquired securities in Blue Owl between February 6, 2025, and November 16, 2025, are encouraged to assess their legal rights due to reported discrepancies in the company's financial disclosures.

Allegations Against Blue Owl Capital

Faruqi & Faruqi's investigation stems from allegations that Blue Owl and its executives may have violated federal securities laws. Investors claim that the company engaged in misleading conduct by failing to disclose significant information about its asset management practices. Specifically, the firm is accused of not revealing that the firm faced considerable pressures on its asset base due to Business Development Company (BDC) redemptions, which ultimately led to undisclosed liquidity issues.

Moreover, the complaint suggests that these challenges would compel Blue Owl to limit or suspend redemptions from certain BDCs, consequently affecting investors' financial recoveries. This level of misrepresentation could potentially lead to significant losses for investors.

Results of the Investigation

On November 16, 2025, the Financial Times reported that Blue Owl blocked redemptions in one of its early private credit funds amid a merger process with another larger asset management vehicle. This merger, according to news reports, will permanently handicap investors in Blue Owl Capital Corporation II by restricting their ability to redeem their investments at the Net Asset Value (NAV), pushing them to convert their holdings into shares of Blue Owl Capital Corporation, which were trading at a valuation approximately 20% lower than NAV.

The market reacted negatively to this news, with Blue Owl's stock price experiencing a significant decline of 5.8% on November 17, resulting in a closing value of $13.77. This immediate drop signifies the impact of the firm's operational revelations on investor confidence and financial security.

Next Steps for Affected Investors

Investors who might have suffered losses due to these developments are advised to contact Faruqi & Faruqi directly. The legal team is actively seeking individuals to discuss their positions and potential legal actions. James (Josh) Wilson, a Securities Litigation Partner at Faruqi & Faruqi, has expressed that injured parties can reach out to him directly for consultations and guidance regarding the next steps.

Furthermore, the deadline of February 2, 2026, is looming for investors who wish to take on the role of lead plaintiff in the federal securities class action already filed against Blue Owl. This opportunity allows class members to oversee the litigation on behalf of other impacted investors, which can be a critical move in securing collective relief.

The firm emphasizes that deciding to act as a lead plaintiff or remain an absent class member will not affect an individual’s ability to benefit from any potential recovery.

Those with information on Blue Owl's conduct—ranging from whistleblowers to former employees or shareholders—are also urged to make contact with the legal team. The firm remains committed to ensuring that all communications are held confidentially while seeking justice for investors.

For further inquiries into the Blue Owl Capital class action, interested parties can reference Faruqi & Faruqi's website, or utilize the provided contact numbers to speak directly to Josh Wilson about their circumstances. Updates will also be available across Faruqi & Faruqi's active social media accounts on platforms like LinkedIn and X.

This ongoing investigation underscores the importance of transparency in the financial sector and the protective role legal firms play in advocating for investors. As this case unfolds, investors will remain vigilant for updates and developments that might come to light in the near future.
