Endowus is not the only partner iCapital tied the partnership knot with. Together with the UK Allfunds, it became the company NY-based Blue Owl Capital teamed up with to scale its retail presence. Through this partnership, investors can explore Blue Owl's credit offerings through the iCapital-managed feeder fund.

Apparently, the collaboration is a response to retail investors' rising interest in private credit and other alternative assets.
