Podcasts about blue owl

Dan Nathan hosts Peter Boockvar to discuss the rapid growth of private credit, arguing it has replaced bank lending but now faces rising defaults, potential liquidity mismatches as retail capital enters evergreen funds, and limited stress-testing in a downturn; they cite pressure in leveraged loans, gating/redemptions, and examples like Blue Owl financing tied to CoreWeave's asset-heavy model and customer concentration. They connect credit stress to equity risk via the capital structure and watchpoints like the LSTA leveraged loan index, high yield spreads, and HYG. Boockvar outlines a leadership shift away from hyperscalers toward equal-weight and “boring” sectors like energy and staples, while warning a deeper tech decline could still pull markets down. They cover oil's inflation implications, a challenging labor market, cautious consumers per Walmart/Home Depot/Lowe's, bullish long-term gold/silver dynamics, stronger international performance, and Japan's rising long-end yields affecting carry trades and global flows.

Simon and Dan kick off with a quick update on the Canadian Investor Podcast’s first YouTube Live (March 3rd at noon ET). Then it’s straight into the GoEasy saga: Q4 earnings get pushed right up near the regulatory deadline, adding to a growing list of red flags around leadership turnover and loan-book quality. Simon and Dan explain why, like poker, you can’t cherry-pick the information you like. Next, Canadian Tire shows momentum: improving comps, margin expansion, and buybacks doing the heavy lifting—plus a look at rising credit-card write-offs and how the company is using AI to sharpen promos and inventory. They also dig into Blue Owl as private credit stress goes mainstream—redemptions, asset sales, and “par value” optics in a mark-to-model world. Finally, Home Depot remains stuck in a slow renovation cycle, leaning harder into the pro/distribution channel through acquisitions as higher rates weigh on demand.

Broadcast live from iConnections Global Alts in South Beach, Guy Adami and Dan Nathan are joined by Dan Greenhaus of Solus Alternative Asset Management and later Vincent Daniel to discuss a sharp, risk-off market move tied to the increasingly financialized AI buildout. They review weakness across private credit and alternative lenders after reports of difficulty placing debt to fund CoreWeave's data center, spilling over into names like Blue Owl and into large alternative managers, banks, and high-profile stocks like IBM, which suffers its worst day in decades. The group debates how a viral AI “thought experiment” amplified uncertainty about near-term industry disruption, the circular quid-pro-quo dynamics of AI financing and chip demand, and whether market valuations offer any cushion if the AI narrative falters. With Nvidia reporting the next day, they focus on expectations for growth and margins, the risk that competition could compress gross margins and re-rate the stock, and the broader question of whether AI success could drive major white-collar job losses, “ghost GDP,” and policy responses. The conversation closes with Vinnie describing investor “what if” fears around AI's impact on employment and fee-based industries. —FOLLOW USYouTube: @RiskReversalMediaInstagram: @riskreversalmediaTwitter: @RiskReversalLinkedIn: RiskReversal Media

Send a textWe teamed up with Guy Adami and Dan Nathan to discuss two major developing market stories ahead of meeting in Miami for the iConnections Global Alts conference. The first topic is stress in private credit, centered on Blue Owl's retail-focused semi-liquid vehicle (Blue Owl Capital Corp II) facing heavy redemptions and gating, highlighting the liquidity mismatch between retail redemption needs and long-dated loan assets. They contrast the gated evergreen structure with Blue Owl's publicly traded BDC that was trading roughly 20% below NAV, discuss Blue Owl's reported loan sales near NAV, and explore why the issue is pressuring related stocks like Blue Owl and Blackstone despite an S&P 500 that appears indifferent. The group connects the private credit conversation to how AI/data center buildouts are financed, including references to Meta-related structures and concerns about CoreWeave's ability to raise capital for data center obligations, and notes that credit markets often reprice quickly only after complacency breaks. The second topic is prediction markets, focusing on Kalshi and its partnership with Tradeweb to publish analytics and potentially enable institutional trading of binary outcomes on events like Fed decisions and macro data, raising questions about democratized access, liquidity constraints, regulatory gaps, spoofing, and the role of insider information, along with implications for politics and whether more information is always better.For a 14 day FREE Trial of Macabacus, click HERE Visit https://iconnections.io/ to learn more about iConnections!Shop our Self Paced Courses: Investment Banking & Private Equity Fundamentals HEREFixed Income Sales & Trading HERE Wealthfront.com/wss.

We discuss the reasons she was attracted to the industry and the strong "human" component that drives deal success as well as organizational sustainability.We turn then to discuss the seeding business in particular, and how so much more than capital is involved. We discuss today's landscape for emerging managers, how the goal posts have changed and how barriers to entry affect capital raising as well as getting a head start.This podcast is kindly sponsored by Evanston Capital and Alvine Capital.

In the wake of Blue Owl's shocking announcement last week basically trapping retail investors in a private credit fund they don't want to be in, signs of fallout from it are trickling in. To begin with, private continues to sell off, Blue Owl especially. But it's not just private credit, we're seeing stress in other corners of the risky credit markets, too, which has a number of prominent analysts and observers wondering if maybe we are seeing too many signs that look too much like 2007.  Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis----------------------------------------------------------------------------------What if your gold could actually pay you every month… in MORE gold?That's exactly what Monetary Metals does.

Mike Armstrong and Marc Fandetti break down the market reaction after the Supreme Court struck down most of the Trump administration's tariffs — only for new 15% global tariffs to be announced days later. They discuss what the shifting trade policy means for business investment, consumer prices, and economic growth in 2026.The hour also covers growing volatility beneath the surface of the market, mounting pressure in private credit firms like Blackstone and Blue Owl, and whether continued policy uncertainty could slow hiring and capital spending in the months ahead.

In this week's episode of The Wrap, Chris Whalen analyzes the Blue Owl situation as part of a broader pattern in private credit. He argues that private credit firms purchasing insurance companies is "the fox getting into the hen house" since insurance assets are held at book value rather than marked to market, beyond easy regulator reach. Chris makes the case that public markets are superior due to transparency and liquidity, while private markets mainly benefit Wall Street through higher fees, and predicts roughly half of private equity managers will struggle to raise capital due to poor performance. From his Washington visit, Chris notes redistricting has left few genuinely competitive House seats, discusses a Supreme Court case on Voting Rights Act enforcement, and predicts 2028 will be Rahm Emanuel versus Marco Rubio. He explains Vice Chair Michelle Bowman's proposal to roll back Basel III mortgage restrictions that have discouraged bank housing finance for 15 years. On silver, Chris describes Chinese exchanges imposing trading limits due to supply constraints, commercial buyers sourcing from artisanal mines, and potential COMEX cash settlement, noting he continues adding to gold and silver positions despite volatility.Use the code TheWrap2026 for 25% off your first year of The Institutional Risk Analyst https://www.theinstitutionalriskanalyst.com/plans-pricingLinks:    The Institutional Risk Analyst: https://www.theinstitutionalriskanalyst.com/  Inflated book (2nd edition): https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/inflated-r-christopher-whalen/1146303673Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/rcwhalen    Website: https://www.rcwhalen.com/   Timestamps:0:00 Preview: The fox getting into the hen house 0:38 Welcome back — Blue Owl and the private credit blowup 1:23 Chris's reaction to Blue Owl restricting redemptions 3:19 Why this matters for retail investors and retirees 4:21 Two reasons this matters — volatility and annuity risk 5:59 How many people truly understand this risk? 6:47 It's not a headline issue until it becomes one 9:22 The Modigliani-Miller Theorem explained 11:12 Do you dabble in private markets at all? 12:18 How do you see this ultimately playing out? 13:05 Half of all PE managers will go out of business 15:12 Do you get pushback from the industry? 16:06 Moving to DC — upcoming midterms 16:45 The disconnect between media narrative and reality 18:22 Supreme Court case on Voting Rights Act 20:33 Base case for midterms — who takes the House? 22:42 Trump administration's communication problems 23:30 Bold call: Rahm Emanuel for Democratic nomination 2028 24:56 The case for Rahm Emanuel 27:09 Marco Rubio vs Rahm Emanuel prediction 28:23 Michelle Bowman's significant speech on Basel III 30:07 How Basel III distorted the mortgage market for 15 years 32:15 What's going on in silver specifically? 34:55 The silver squeeze — producers going to artisanal mines 36:01 Still long gold and silver, adding positions 37:01 What Chris is watching next week

Non riteniamo necessario discutere ulteriormente della decisione della Corte Suprema Statunitense, visto lo spazio dedicato in passato da questo podcast alla questione e considerato che l'esito è esattamente quanto descritto mesi fa. Ci occupiamo quindi dell'altro importante episodio della settimana: Blue Owl, il gigante del credito privato, ha sospeso permanentemente i rimborsi ai propri investitori retail — e con quella notizia, sepolta in coda a una conference call, ha reso visibile una fragilità strutturale che attraversa valutazioni, rating e sistema bancario.

In this episode, Scott Becker examines Blue Owl's decision to halt retail fund redemptions, recent asset sales to meet withdrawals, and what the move signals about broader stress and exit challenges across the private credit market.

The financial media is at it again. Breathless headlines. Dire warnings. Another supposed crisis looming on the horizon. This time the target is Blue Owl, with pundits trying to convince Main Street investors that this is the spark that could ignite the next credit meltdown. But is it reality… or just another fear cycle designed to drive clicks and shake out weak hands? On this episode of Stinchfield, we dig into what is really going on behind the noise. Our guest is VRAInsider.com CEO Kip Herriage, one of the most respected market analysts in the country and a man who has seen these panic narratives play out time and time again. Kip breaks down the fundamentals, the balance sheet, and the actual exposure, explaining why the situation is being wildly mischaracterized and why Blue Owl’s ability to meet its obligations is far stronger than the headlines suggest. In short, Kip pours cold water on the hysteria and delivers straight analysis instead of sensationalism. And he does not stop there. Kip also shares two stock ideas he believes are positioned for what he calls rocket ship style growth as markets continue to reward innovation, liquidity, and smart capital deployment in this cycle. These are not speculative gambles but companies he sees as aligned with the next phase of the Trump Economic Miracle. If you are tired of being whipsawed by media driven fear and want clear eyed insight into where the risks really are and where the opportunities may be hiding, this is a conversation you do not want to miss. https://VRAInsider.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Carl Quintanilla, Jim Cramer and David Faber reacted to a raft of economic data: Core PCE — the Fed's preferred inflation gauge — rose in December, while GDP showed much slower than expected economic growth in Q4. Private credit fears also in the spotlight: Blue Owl Co-President and Head of Credit Craig Packer joined the anchors at Post 9 for a wide-ranging and exclusive interview. Also in focus: CNBC has confirmed Nvidia is in talks to invest up to $30 billion in OpenAI as part of a funding round for the startup, Oil prices hit fresh six-month highs on U.S.-Iran tensions, bright spots Cramer sees in this market, Warner Bros.

This episode breaks down the Blue Owl $1.4B asset sale, what it really means for investors, and why short-term swings can mislead the public. From the rise of private credit and private equity to the decline of IPOs over the past decades, we reveal how Wall Street has evolved—and why caution and understanding intrinsic value matter more than hype.

En este episodio de VG Daily, Andre Dos Santos y Valentina Orduz desmenuzan cómo un combo incómodo de datos de inflación, desaceleración del crecimiento y tensión geopolítica está redefiniendo el panorama para la Fed, los mercados y los inversores en activos alternativos. El foco es una Fed que vuelve al “higher for longer”, un consumidor que aguanta pero cada vez más justo, un mercado que rota hacia energía por riesgo en el Estrecho de Ormuz y un caso emblemático en private credit que pone bajo la lupa la promesa de “rendimientos altos con baja volatilidad”.A lo largo de la conversación, revisan cómo los últimos datos de inflación y crecimiento complican el calendario de recortes de la Fed y reabren incluso el debate sobre posibles subidas si el desinflacionario se frena, al tiempo que el petróleo salta por la prima de riesgo geopolítico y arrastra al sector energía mientras el resto del mercado se mueve en modo risk‑off. En el bloque de alternativos, analizan el caso Blue Owl como el estrés de liquidez en fondos de private credit orientados a retail y lo que esto implica para portfolios que dependen de estos vehículos como fuente “estable” de yield, especialmente si la próxima fase del ciclo viene con más volatilidad, menos liquidez y un costo del dinero que se mantiene alto por más tiempo del que el mercado quería creer.

Crude prices move higher with Brent now surpassing $70 a barrel after President Trump warns of potential consequences should Iran fail to reach a deal over its nuclear programme. U.S.-based private credit group Blue Owl announces it will halt investor withdrawals from a debt fund for retail traders, causing shares to slump across the sector. We are live at the A.I. Impact summit in New Delhi where CNBC learns that Nvidia is launching a new $30bn investment into OpenAI. Google DeepMind co-founder and CEO Demis Hassabis says the sector is suffering from a shortfall of memory and chips.

En Capital Intereconomía repasamos las claves del día y la evolución de los mercados en Asia, Wall Street y Europa, en una jornada marcada por las caídas en las bolsas asiáticas tras el cierre negativo de Wall Street, pese al nuevo máximo del Kospi, y por las dudas sobre el mercado de créditos privados en Estados Unidos. El primer análisis de la mañana corrió a cargo de Ignacio Vacchiano, country manager en Iberia de Leverage Shares, con quien abordamos los principales datos macro del día, como el IPC y el PIB, el escenario de posibles bajadas de tipos, la tensión con Irán y su impacto en el petróleo, así como las señales de alerta en el mercado con casos como Blue Owl.

Der PCE-Inflationsreport nimmt etwas Druck raus: Core PCE liegt bei 3% und damit im Rahmen – trotzdem bleibt Inflation oberhalb des 2%-Ziels, und die Fed-Minutes zeigen: einige wollen erst mehr Disinflations-Belege sehen. Zusätzlicher Katalysator ist ein mögliches Supreme-Court-Urteil zu Trumps IEEPA-Zöllen – viele an der Wall Street erwarten einen positiven Move, falls die Zölle gekippt werden. Gleichzeitig bleibt Geopolitik ein Störfaktor: Trump spricht von einer Entscheidung über mögliche Iran-Schläge binnen 10 Tagen, Öl handelt nahe 6-Monats-Hochs. Im Hintergrund sorgt Blue Owl für Stress im Private-Credit-Segment: Rücknahmen werden dauerhaft eingeschränkt, nach dem Verkauf von $1,4 Mrd. an Kredit-Assets – „Canary in the coal mine“, sagen Kritiker. Kurz: Wachstum kühlt stärker ab, Inflation bleibt zäh – und der Markt wartet auf den nächsten Trigger: SCOTUS und nächste Woche Nvidia-Zahlen.

D'un côté, un géant du private credit ferme la porte de sortie : “Les retraits ne rouvriront pas.” Phrase simple. Effet glacial. De l'autre, Trump demande au Pentagone de publier les dossiers sur les extraterrestres. Parce que visiblement, la liquidité peut disparaître… mais pas les OVNI. Ajoute à ça :

Think You Know Silver? Test Your IQ and get resources here: https://linktube.com/rtdBlue Owl Capital has permanently halted redemptions in its $1.7 billion OBDC II retail private credit fund due to a liquidity mismatch caused by rising withdrawal requests, signaling broader stress across the $3 trillion private credit market.Warning signs are mounting, including 40% of direct lenders generating negative free cash flow, 30% of companies with debt maturing before 2027 reporting negative EBITDA, middle market default rates climbing to 4.55%, and downgrades outpacing upgrades for seven consecutive quarters.If pressure continues, small businesses could face tighter funding, refinancing costs may rise, and defaults could accelerate into a self reinforcing cycle. Although the Fed injected $18 billion in overnight liquidity, it may not be enough to prevent further cracks unless policy turns more dovish.

Welcome back to the VRA Investing Podcast with your host, Kip Herriage. In today's episode, Kip Herriage returns from a short business trip to Dallas, fresh off a conversation with Grant Stinchfield of Real America's Voice, and ready to tackle a week packed with market anxiety, big headlines, and fresh opportunities. The show dives straight into recent market jitters—how fears over Blue Owl Capital sparked new comparisons to the 2008 financial crisis and why Kip Herriage believes those fears are overblown. He breaks down the latest in the AI innovation boom, what it means for investors today, and his outlook for generational bull markets, drawing parallels to the early days of the dot-com era.

En este episodio de VG Daily, Juan Manuel de los Reyes y Eugenio Garibay analizan cómo el último reporte de ADP reencendió el debate sobre la salud del empleo en EE. UU. y lo que eso puede implicar para el pulso de la economía. Desde ahí, conectan el dato macro con el tema que está dominando el sentimiento del mercado, el impacto de la IA generativa sobre los modelos de negocio del software.En el bloque central, revisan por qué acciones de software como Intuit y Adobe reaccionan a la baja ante el temor de que modelos como los de Anthropic aceleren la “comoditización” de ciertas funciones, presionando márgenes y poder de precios. Ese mismo miedo se traslada a firmas de crédito privado y alternativos como Blue Owl y Apollo, que enfrentan sensibilidad por su exposición a compañías de software y tecnología, en un contexto donde el mercado vuelve a mirar riesgos de refinanciamiento y concentraciones sectoriales.El episodio cierra con el reporte de AMD, resultados sólidos, pero recibidos con dudas por parte del mercado, reflejando que hoy no basta con “buenos números” si la narrativa de demanda de chips para IA, competencia y visibilidad de crecimiento no termina de convencer. El hilo es claro, empleo, IA y crédito se están mezclando en una sola conversación, y el oyente se lleva un mapa de por qué un dato laboral puede amplificar movimientos en software, alternativos y semiconductores en la misma semana.

Blue Owl, a name we've gotten to know for all the wrong reasons, has been forced to come clean after getting sued by pretty much every class action securities lawyer in America, not only into admitting there was a wave of withdrawals but also promising to accommodate them over and above what it normally would. Not only does that further confirm the First stage of the credit cycle reverse, it actually sets up the second stage. In this video, we're going to cover where everything in the credit cycle stands and and more importantly what it all means. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis------------------------------------------------------------------------------EDU LIVE PRESIDENT'S DAY FEBRUARY 2026If you're a serious investor and want to capitalize on what the monetary system is signaling right now, plus deep discussions about what truly is the greatest threat we all face, join me, Hugh Hendry, George Gammon, Steve Van Metre, Brent Johnson, Mike Green at Eurodollar University's very first Live Event, President's Day Weekend February 2026. To reserve your spot just go here but you better hurry, there aren't many spots left:https://eurodollar-university.com/event-home-page---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Bloomberg Publicly Traded Private-Credit Funds Set for Worst Year Since 2020https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-12-29/publicly-traded-private-credit-funds-set-for-worst-year-since-2020Bloomberg Blue Owl BDC Allows 17% Redemptions as Investors Storm Exithttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-01-07/blue-owl-bdc-allows-for-17-redemptions-as-investors-storm-exithttps://www.eurodollar.universityTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffSnider_EDU
