We are pleased to have advised longstanding client Blue Owl Capital Inc. ('Blue Owl'), a leading alternative asset manager, on the closing of Blue Owl Asset Special Opportunities Fund IX (the 'Fund'), which secured approximately $2.9bn of total capital commitments - exceeding its original target of $2.5bn
 
The Fund is a diversified, asset-backed opportunistic strategy that employs a flexible mandate with the ability to allocate dynamically throughout changing market conditions. Its strategy reflects Blue Owl’s continued conviction that asset-based finance is an important area of private credit, where carefully structured capital solutions are well positioned to support evolving market needs and long term growth.
 
Our team was instructed by Blue Owl and Kirkland & Ellis,and was led by Cayman Islands partners Christine Ballantyne-Drewe and Jenna Wong, with assistance from associates Lauren Bond and Suman Kaur.
