Blackstone Clamps Withdrawals as Private Credit Funds Face Outflows

Blackstone capped redemptions at its $79 billion BCRED private credit fund in Q2 after redemption requests approached 10% of shares (versus about 7.9% prior quarter), setting a 5% withdrawal limit to replace immediate liquidity with longer-term returns. The move aims to curb forced asset sales amid growing investor retreat from private assets, with analysts noting demand was in line with expectations and Blackstone’s stock rose about 8% on the news. The report also notes slower overall private-credit inflows and ongoing redemption pressure across peer funds like Partners Group.

Apollo Trims Withdrawals in Flagship Private Credit Vehicle

Apollo Global Management capped redemptions from its flagship Apollo Debt Solutions BDC after investors sought about $1.6 billion (11.2% of its $15 billion net assets), above the 5% threshold for limiting withdrawals. The firm honoured roughly half of withdrawal requests, joining peers like Morgan Stanley and BlackRock in restricting outflows as investor sentiment cools on semi-liquid private markets. The fund, with about $25 billion in investments, posted roughly flat net flows for the quarter after new commitments and redemptions, and recorded its first monthly loss in February due to a sell-off in more liquid loans.

The USDC burns followed a likely reduction in reserve backing or redemptions. The dollar-pegged stablecoin has failed to win back investors following last week’s depegging.
