Private Credit

Owl Rock Capital Group Winner
The fast growing $14.6 billion Owl Rock Capital Partners, recognized by allocators for its seasoned team and interesting strategies, innovatively created a fund where early anchor investors were allowed to purchase an interest in the GP. Allocators also note better alignment of interest between LPs and GPs and Owl Rock’s recent focus this year on tech. Creating bespoke solutions for each client, the firm also actively provides clients with co-investment and joint venture opportunities.

Earlier in their careers, Doug Ostrover, Marc Lipschultz and Craig Packer each spent over 25 years building successful credit, underwriting and alternative investment businesses at GSO/Blackstone, KKR and Goldman Sachs, respectively. They formed Owl Rock in early 2016 with the goal of building a direct lending platform to target the underserved needs of U.S. middle market companies across a variety of industries. The firm has been called “the most credible new entrant in the space in the past four years.”
