Shareholders in publicly traded Blue Owl Capital Corporation (OBDC) recently filed a derivative lawsuit that accuses investment adviser Blue Owl Credit Advisors LLC of breaching its fiduciary duties under the Investment Company Act of 1940 by inflating asset valuations to extract excessive fees.

Blue Owl Credit Advisors LLC, the defendant in the case, serves as the external manager of the fund and is an indirect affiliate of Blue Owl Capital Inc. In the lawsuit, the plaintiff, Richard Delman, alleges that the adviser steadily inflated the value of these illiquid "Level 3" assets to drive up their fees.
