On June 4, KKR rose 3.24% in regular trading, trading at $93.285/share, with trading volume of $52.92 million. The stock is staging a recovery following the prior session's sharp decline of over 4%, which was triggered by a Swiss asset management giant announcing redemption restrictions on an $8.6 billion private fund.
On the news front, Partners Group's move to gate redemptions on its flagship fund sparked broad fears over liquidity risks in private markets, sending KKR and peers into a sharp selloff on June 3, with KKR falling 4.46%, Blackstone dropping 3.7%, and Ares declining 2.2%. Individual investors had been rushing to redeem amid concerns over duration mismatch and deteriorating underlying asset quality in private credit and equity products.
Supporting today's rebound, KKR has taken proactive liquidity management steps. Its FS Income Trust announced plans to repurchase up to 2.8 million shares at net asset value with a pricing date of June 30, while its FS Yield Trust Select Fund launched a tender offer for approximately 2.03 million shares. The broader alternative asset sector rallied in sympathy, with Ares up 4.03%, Blue Owl up 3.92%, Blackstone up 3.6%, and Carlyle up 2.27%.
