Investing in Business Development Companies (BDCs) like Blue Owl Capital Corporation (OBDC) and Blue Owl Capital Corporation III (OBDE) carries significant risks. A problem often associated with alternative investment recommendations, such as BDCs and REITs, is the high sales commissions brokers typically earn for selling these investments, which can be as high as 15%. A representative that recommends investments for the purpose of being compensated through increased commissions, and enriches themselves rather than benefiting the client, is violating securities laws.
Financial professionals and their firms have a fiduciary duty to recommend suitable investments that are in their customer’s best interest. Potential conflicts of interest may arise when issuers incentivize brokers/investment advisors with substantial commissions to promote their financial products.
Blue Owl Capital is an alternative asset management firm that provides direct lending solutions. It was formed in 2021 through the merger of Owl Rock Capital Group, Dyal Capital Partners, and Altimar Acquisition Corporation (a SPAC), the firm provides institutional investors access to private market opportunities such as private credit, minority equity stakes in asset managers, and targeted real estate investments.

To recover investment losses, you do not go through the traditional court system with a lawsuit. The only remedy is through a FINRA arbitration, a specific process designed for these types of disputes. This process involves presenting your case to a panel set by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), not a courtroom. This approach is streamlined and focused on investment disputes, making it a suitable and effective way for investors to seek compensation for losses caused by financial advisors or brokerage firms.
Investors affected by potential losses related to Blue Owl Capital should promptly consult legal counsel to evaluate possible claims. To effectively participate in potential legal claims, investors should gather:
FINRA (the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) is a self-regulatory organization that oversees brokers and brokerages. In the event of a dispute between an investor and their financial advisor, investors can choose to file a FINRA arbitration claim. FINRA is overseen by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
The arbitration process is designed to be much faster than the court system and allows both parties to present their case before a panel of arbitrators. The arbitrators will then decide how to resolve the dispute, including ordering the advisor to pay damages for any losses suffered by the investor.
