BLUE OWL CAPITAL INC. 10-Q

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. Our primary exposure to market risk is the indirect impact that movements in the fair value of investments in products has on our management fees. In our Direct Lending products, our management fees are generally based on the fair value of the gross assets held by such products, and therefore changes in the fair value of those assets impacts the management fees we earn in any given period. These management fees will be increased (or reduced) in direct proportion to the effect of changes in the market value of our investments in the related funds. The proportion of our management fees that are based on fair value is dependent on the number and types of investment funds in existence and the current stage of each fund’s life cycle. Management fees from our GP Capital Solutions and Real Estate products, however, are generally based on capital commitments or investment cost, and therefore management fees are not materially impacted by changes in fair values of the underlying investments held by those products. To the extent that management fees are calculated based on investment cost of the product’s investments, the amount of fees that we may charge will increase or decrease from the effect of changes in the cost basis of the product’s investments, including potential impairment losses. Interest Rate Risk Our Notes bear interest at fixed rates. Our Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a variable rate based on SOFR (or an alternative base rate at our option). As of the date of this report, we have no borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility, and therefore changes in interest rates would not have a material impact on interest expense. Credit Risk We generally endeavor to minimize our risk of exposure by limiting to reputable financial institutions the counterparties with which we enter into financial transactions. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had cash balances with financial institutions in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits. We seek to mitigate this exposure by monitoring the credit standing of these financial institutions.
