On June 3, KKR & Co L.P. declined 4.46% in regular trading, trading at $90.28/share, with trading volume of $255 million. The selloff was triggered by Swiss private equity firm Partners Group announcing redemption restrictions on an $8.6 billion private equity fund, sparking widespread concerns over liquidity risks across the alternative asset management industry.
The redemption pressure, previously concentrated in private credit products, is now spreading to private equity categories. Individual investors have been rushing to request redemptions amid fears of maturity mismatch and deteriorating underlying asset quality. KKR's FS Income Trust recently launched a share repurchase tender offer to buy back up to 2.8 million shares at NAV as of June 30, reflecting proactive liquidity management measures.
Within the Asset Management & Custody Banks sector, peers experienced broad-based declines: Blackstone Group LP down 5.12%, BlackRock down 3.0%, Blue Owl Capital Inc. down 3.33%, Ares Management LP down 4.76%, and Brookfield Corp down 3.26%.
