Trapped in Private Credit, Investors Wait to Pull Out $5 Billion

A wave of redemption requests across the private credit industry has left more than $4.6 billion of investor capital trapped behind withdrawal limits, with more asset managers expected to impose curbs in the coming weeks. Investors have looked to pull roughly $13 billion from over a dozen funds so far this quarter, according to Bloomberg estimates and data from Robert A Stanger & Co. But since the vehicles can cap withdrawals at 5% of net assets per quarter, investors have only been able to access about two-thirds of the cash they’ve sought, the data show. Len Tannenbaum, Founder of Tannenbaum Capital Group, joins Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss redemption jitters, the evolution of private credit and the current credit cycle, and more. He speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec. (Source: Bloomberg)
