Blue Owl Private Funds and their Strategies
The Blue Owl GPSC Advisers pursue three distinct investment strategies for the Blue Owl Private
Funds: GP Minority Equity Investments, GP Debt Financing Investments, and National Basketball
Association (“NBA”) Franchise Minority Investments.
• For the Blue Owl Private Funds that pursue the GP Minority Equity Investments strategy (such
funds, the “Blue Owl GPSC Equity Funds”), the Blue Owl GPSC Advisers seek to build
diversified portfolios of minority equity investments in institutionalized alternative asset
management firms (such firms, “Partner Managers”) across multiple strategies, geographies,
1 For the purposes of these calculations, for Blue Owl Credit, assets under management (approximately $84.6 billion
based on information as of December 31, 2023) represents the sum of (i) total assets of clients (including assets
acquired with leverage) managed by Blue Owl Credit, (ii) undrawn debt available to these clients (including certain
amounts subject to restrictions), (iii) uncalled committed capital of these clients (including commitments to products
that have yet to commence their investment periods), and (iv) par value of collateral for collateralized loan
obligations. For Blue Owl GP Strategic Capital, assets under management (approximately $54.2 billion based on
information as of December 31, 2023) represents the sum of (i) total assets of clients (including assets acquired with
leverage) managed by Blue Owl GP Strategic Capital and (ii) uncalled committed capital of these clients (including
commitments to products that have yet to commence their investment period. For Blue Owl Real Estate, assets
under management (approximately $26.9 billion based on information as of December 31, 2023) represents the sum
of (i) total assets of clients (including assets acquired with leverage) managed by Blue Owl Real Estate, (ii) undrawn
debt available to these clients (including certain amounts subject to restrictions), and (iii) uncalled committed capital
of these clients (including commitments to products that have yet to commence their investment periods).

and asset classes. The Blue Owl GPSC Equity Funds may also make direct investments in
alternative investment funds or separate accounts that are managed by Partner Managers
(“Portfolio Funds”) and other investments that are consistent with the Blue Owl GPSC
Advisers’ investment theses for the Blue Owl GPSC Equity Funds. The Blue Owl GPSC Equity
Funds are closed-end, permanent capital funds. The Blue Owl GPSC Equity Funds’ investment
objective is to generate cash yield by collecting a set percentage of contractually fixed
management fees, a set percentage of carried interest and return on balance sheet
investments made by underlying Partner Managers. The Blue Owl GPSC Equity Funds
primarily focus on acquiring minority equity positions, and other related opportunities, in or
with respect to large and/or mid-sized institutionalized
Partner Managers deriving a
significant component of their income from the sponsorship and management of alternative
investment funds and related activities. The inaugural Blue Owl GPSC Equity Funds followed
a hedge fund manager-focused investment program that has since evolved into a private
capital manager-focused investment program in more recent Blue Owl GPSC Equity Funds.
• For the Blue Owl Private Funds that pursue the GP Debt Financing Investments strategy (such
funds, the “Blue Owl GP Financing Funds”), the relevant Blue Owl GPSC Adviser seeks to
originate and make collateralized, long-term debt investments, preferred equity investments
and structured investments in Partner Managers. The Blue Owl GP Financing Funds acquire,
hold and dispose of investments structured as long-term loans to, and/or preferred equity or
structured investments in, Partner Managers as well as opportunistic investments related to
this strategy, pursuant to cash flow sweeps of set percentages of management fees, general
partner realization, carried interest and other fee streams of the Partner Manager in the
event that certain minimum coverage ratios are not maintained. The Blue Owl GP Financing
Funds’ investment objective is to generate current income by targeting investment
opportunities with attractive risk-adjusted returns. The relevant Blue Owl GPSC Adviser
expects that the loans will be used to allow borrowers to support business growth, fund the
Partner Managers’ investments in their own funds, and launch new strategies. The Blue Owl
GPSC Adviser to the Blue Owl GP Financing Funds will seek to assemble a portfolio of
complementary investments whose borrowers are diversified by investment strategy,
geography and asset class. The GP Debt Financing Investment strategy allows the Blue Owl
GPSC Advisers to offer a comprehensive suite of solutions to private capital managers.
• Blue Owl Private Funds can also pursue a Sports Investing strategy. The relevant Blue Owl
GPSC Adviser’s first endeavor in this area was creating a partnership with the NBA, which has
pre-approved the Blue Owl GPSC Adviser to the Blue Owl HomeCourt Funds as a prospective
buyer of NBA Teams and waived both its requirement that any minority owner own a stake
in a single franchise and its limitation on any team having more than 25 individual beneficial
owners. The NBA has also provided pre-approval for the Blue Owl HomeCourt Funds to own
interests in multiple NBA Teams. The Blue Owl GPSC Adviser to the Blue Owl HomeCourt
Funds believes that having these approvals and waivers already established will provide
selling owners with more certainty of a Blue Owl HomeCourt Fund’s ability to close on any
investment and will make the Blue Owl HomeCourt Funds the buyer of choice when a
minority interest in an NBA Team becomes available. The Blue Owl HomeCourt Funds’

investments in the NBA are intended to provide low correlation to other asset classes and
long-term value appreciation.
The Blue Owl GPSC Advisers’ advisory services to the Blue Owl Private Funds are detailed in the
relevant private placement memorandum or other offering documents, limited partnership or
other operating agreements of the Blue Owl Private Funds (“Offering Materials”) and are further
described below under Item 8 — Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss.
The Blue Owl GPSC Advisers have overall responsibility for implementing the investment
strategies of the Blue Owl Private Funds and have the authority to select investments within the
stated investment strategies and objectives of each Blue Owl Private Fund (such investments,
including investments in Partner Managers, Portfolio Funds, and/or NBA Teams, as the context
requires, “Portfolio Investments”). The Blue Owl GPSC Advisers generally do not tailor advice
given to a Blue Owl Private Fund based on the individualized needs of any particular investor.
Each investor in a Blue Owl Private Fund (“Investors”) must consider whether that Blue Owl
Private Fund meets such Investor’s investment objectives and risk tolerance prior to investing.
