Our Private Credit Market Loss Lawyers Are Investigating

Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas non-traded BDC recovery attorneys are currently investigating Blue Owl Credit Income Corp. following a negative outlook downgrade from Moody’s and a surge in redemption requests. Investors who have suffered losses in the private credit market are encouraged to seek a legal consultation to determine if their financial advisors are liable for making unsuitable investment recommendations.

If you are an investor in the Blue Owl Credit Income Corp. Fund (Blue OWL OCIC Fund) and are concerned that Moody’s Ratings downgraded its outlook for the Fund from “stable” to “negative,” you want to explore your legal options with the Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas Non-traded BDC Recovery Attorneys (investorlawyers.com) . Our private credit market loss securities law firm is investigating these latest developments and whether financial advisors should be held liable for investor losses.

What Is Blue Owl OCIC?

• Formerly called Owl Rock Core Income Corp., the Blue Owl Credit Income Corp. Fund is a $36B non-traded perpetual-life business development company (BDC) run by private credit firm Blue Owl Capital (OWL).
• Blue Owl OCIC concentrates on offering debt financing to middle-market companies in the US to generate income for investors.

Why Did Moody’s Ratings Reduce Blue Owl OCIC’s Outlook to a “Negative”

• The credit rating agency cited an increase in redemption requests.
• The downgrade by Moody’s comes after Blue Owl said it would limit withdrawals after historic requests for redemption during the first quarter. Investors wanted to redeem about 21.9% of their OCIC shares. The private credit firm said it would only fulfill 5% of redemption requests.

The exodus by investors from the $1.8T private credit market caused Blow Owl Capital’s share price to go down to a record low closing price of $8.44/share on April 6, 2026. It was just earlier this year that the $251B asset manager became the defendant in a shareholder lawsuit accusing its executives of making false and misleading statements about investor redemptions involving another Fund, the Blue Owl Capital Corporation II, Fund (OBDC II Fund).

Blue Owl recently announced it would sell $1.4B in assets to pay back investors.

The private credit market, as well as non-traded BDCs, can be complex. Non-traded BDCs are illiquid investments that can be high-risk and unsuitable for many investors.

Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas Non-traded BDC Recovery Attorneys are well-versed in all kinds of non-traded investments, including business development companies. We know how to identify whether your broker:

• Made misrepresentations and omissions about the risks involved in the private credit market or non-traded BDCs.
• Overconcentrated your account with too many alternative investments.
• Disregarded your best interests.
• Made unsuitable investment recommendations.
• Breached their fiduciary duty to you.
• Failed to properly supervise your account.
• Was negligent or even grossly negligent in handling your portfolio.
• Purposely tried to defraud you.

Our non-traded BDC recovery attorneys are investigating Blue Owl and its various funds. We are continuing to look into the recent developments in the $3 trillion private credit market, which are raising concerns about how this could affect investors. The bankruptcy filing of private lenders Tricolor and First Brands last year did nothing to assuage concerns.
