Investing responsibly

Investing Responsibly

Our Adviser, Blue Owl Capital Inc. (together with its affiliates, “Blue Owl” or the “Firm”), is committed to the consideration of material* environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors within its investment activities and in its business operations to manage risk and identify opportunities.

Our Adviser believes that incorporating material* ESG factors into its corporate and investment activities has the potential to meaningfully contribute to the value of its Firm and the organizations in which they invest.

Our Adviser’s principles for conducting ESG assessment:

  1. ESG assessments should be integral and complementary to the investment life cycle
  2. ESG assessments should enhance a deal team’s view of a business and strengthen its overall diligence and analysis
  3. Tools, processes, and procedures should be proportionate to the nature of the investment and the fund’s objectives (e.g., amount of information available, length of transaction and decision cycle, rights afforded to and obligations required of the investor, etc.)
  4. Our approach should be able to scale at pace with our investment ambitions
  5. Overall, ESG assessments should be sufficiently robust to substantiate our decisions but not disproportionately cumbersome and resource-inefficient so as to impede our ability to be good stewards of capital

Transparency of Sustainability Risk Policy    

Blue Owl Capital Inc. (together with its affiliates “Blue Owl”) integrates environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors into its investment process. When evaluating investment opportunities, Blue Owl considers ESG risks associated with such opportunities as well as whether there are serious ESG or reputational concerns with regard to prospective portfolio companies or other assets. In particular, Blue Owl evaluates material ESG risks, mitigating factors and opportunities applicable for the asset type (and the industry as a whole).    

Based on each fund’s investment objective and investment strategy, Blue Owl considers ESG risks to present a limited near-term impact on the returns of the funds that it manages, with greater impacts likely to be experienced over time. Blue Owl expects to implement mechanisms to identify material ESG issues in making investments in portfolio companies and to periodically evaluate whether such issues are likely to impact the returns of an investment and, consequently, the returns of the relevant fund. Please see our ESG Policy for more information.    

No consideration of principal adverse sustainability impacts    

Blue Owl has considered, and continues to consider, ESG factors in its investment process, but it does not consider adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors as specifically set out in Regulation 2019/2088 on sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector dated 27 November 2019 (“SFDR”). Blue Owl has chosen not to do so for the present time as it considers that its existing ESG policies and procedures are appropriate, proportional and tailored to the investment strategies of the funds that it manages. Blue Owl continues to closely monitor regulatory developments with respect to the SFDR and other applicable ESG-focused laws and regulations, including the implementation of related and secondary legislation and regulatory guidance, and will, where required or otherwise appropriate, make changes to its existing policies and procedures.
