The co-chief executive of Blue Owl, one of the largest listed private capital groups, has raised concerns about the current state of the market for second-hand private equity fund stakes. Marc Lipschultz, who has overseen the growth of Blue Owl into a private capital investor with $284 billion in assets, highlighted the high levels of activity in the secondaries market. He pointed out that the influx of retail capital into the sector has led to what he described as “manic” levels of interest.

Lipschultz expressed caution about the record levels of activity in the secondaries market, noting that some investors are treating it as an opportunity to make easy gains. He emphasized that buying stakes in ageing private equity funds at discounts to their stated value is not equivalent to picking up free money. Despite the surge in secondaries deals, with activity reaching $102 billion in the first half of the year, Lipschultz warned against the misconception that it is a risk-free endeavor.

The market for second-hand private equity fund stakes has been fueled by the rise of perpetual funds sold to wealthy individual investors. This has led to frenetic bidding wars and inflated pricing for deals, narrowing the discounts typically seen in such transactions. Lipschultz acknowledged the appeal of tapping into the imbalance created by investors needing to lighten their private equity exposure but stressed the importance of approaching secondaries with caution.

While Lipschultz acknowledged the potential for growth in the secondaries market, he emphasized the need for careful consideration and strategic planning. Blue Owl, formed in 2021 through a merger between Owl Rock and Dyal Capital Partners, is exploring avenues for expansion in secondaries. This includes considering large acquisitions or building up the business internally to capitalize on the opportunities presented in the market.

The diversified business of Blue Owl, which spans private loans, property, infrastructure, and data center deals, has seen significant growth. The company reported strong second-quarter earnings, driven by robust fundraising results and a positive outlook on the US economy. Lipschultz highlighted the strength of the portfolio companies managed by Blue Owl, underscoring the company’s focus on delivering value to its investors.

In conclusion, the private equity landscape is evolving rapidly, with opportunities and challenges abound in the secondaries market. By staying informed and remaining vigilant in their investment strategies, investors can navigate the complexities of the market and capitalize on the potential for growth and success.
