Blackstone Caps Flagship Private Credit Fund Withdrawals at 5% for Q2
BX is trading near its 52-week low of $101.73 (9.8% above the low).
Summary
Blackstone has capped withdrawals from its flagship private credit fund (BCRED) at 5% of shares for the second quarter. This action follows a period of record withdrawal requests and $1.7 billion in net outflows from BCRED during Q1, which prompted the firm to previously raise redemption caps. The new, more restrictive cap signals continued pressure on the fund's liquidity and could impact investor sentiment towards Blackstone's private credit offerings.
