Finance of America Companies announced a significantly expanded $2.5 billion strategic partnership with funds managed by Blue Owl Capital, marking one of the company’s most significant capital commitments to date and signaling a major investment in the growing U.S. retirement and home equity financing market.

The agreement also includes a $50 million equity investment in Finance of America, further aligning the two organizations as they deepen their long-standing relationship.

The new capital commitment is designed to accelerate Finance of America’s product development initiatives and expand origination volume across multiple home equity–focused asset classes. The partnership will support a broader rollout of new financial products tailored to retirees seeking improved access to capital for aging in place, healthcare needs, and lifestyle goals. The companies will collaborate on product development to complement Finance of America’s established reverse mortgage offerings while strengthening its position as a comprehensive home equity lending platform.

The announcement comes amid a demographic shift in the United States, with more than 10,000 Americans entering retirement age each day. As demand for home equity access continues to rise, Finance of America aims to capture a larger share of this expanding market by pairing its lending expertise with Blue Owl’s capital resources and innovation capabilities. The partnership builds upon Finance of America’s ongoing strategy to broaden its reach within the retirement finance landscape.

Blue Owl, which manages more than $295 billion in assets, has continued to expand its presence across credit, real assets, and GP strategic capital. The firm’s investment in Finance of America reflects its view that home equity solutions are becoming increasingly central to retirement planning for millions of Americans.
