Blackstone capped investor redemptions from its flagship private credit fund at 5% of net asset value in the second quarter of 2026 after buyback requests reached roughly 10% of assets. 5 billion during the period. Blackstone fulfilled only the 5% limit and stated that the fund remains well capitalized with more than $15 billion in available liquidity.
New capital commitments continued to arrive even as redemptions rose. Inflows during the quarter equaled about 2% of the fund's net asset value, Blackstone said. The firm noted that available liquidity remains sufficient to meet operational needs.
Blackstone's move follows similar redemption limits imposed by other private credit managers facing elevated withdrawal activity.
