Blackstone Caps Private Credit Redemptions at 5% After Requests Hit 10%
BX is trading near its 52-week low of $101.73 (13% above the low).
Summary
Blackstone has capped quarterly redemptions from its Private Credit fund at 5% of shares, a direct response to redemption requests hitting 10%. This move indicates ongoing investor pressure and liquidity management challenges within the firm's private credit segment. It follows earlier reports of record withdrawals and increased redemption caps in Q1, and a US Congressional probe into its private credit unit. The broader private credit market is also experiencing a slowdown, adding to the pressure on Blackstone's shares.
