Blue Owl Investors Withdraw 15% from Tech Fund
Investors in a tech-focused fund managed by Blue Owl Capital Inc.

The fund, called Blue Owl Technology Income Corp.

Despite the redemptions, the fund's performance remains strong, with a 9% return for its Class I shares in 2025.
The fund has around $1.4 billion in liquidity available after cashing out investors.
Blue Owl operates five BDCs, which pool private credit loans, and the largest has over $33 billion in assets under management.
Investors withdrew 15.4% of net assets from Blue Owl Technology Income Corp. (OTIC), a tech-focused fund.
The redemption amount equates to about $527 million, the largest percentage-based request Blue Owl has ever received.
The fund increased withdrawal limits from 5% to accommodate the requests, citing market volatility.
