On June 5, Blue Owl Capital fell 5.05% in regular trading, trading at $9.68/share, with trading volume of $120 million.
On the news front, the private credit industry faces escalating redemption pressure. Blackstone imposed redemption limits on its flagship private credit fund BCRED for the first time, capping redemptions at 5% after investor requests reached a record 10%. Earlier, Cliffwater disclosed that its $31 billion fund received 17% redemption requests in Q2, while Partners Group activated redemption gates on its $8.6 billion fund. Fitch data shows private credit default rates have surged to a historic peak of 6%.
The broader alternative asset management sector declined in tandem, with Blackstone down 3.04% and BlackRock down 1.9%. Analysts note that given the reporting cycle, alternative asset markets may not improve before Labor Day, contingent on whether redemption requests have peaked. Blue Owl itself permanently closed a $1.6 billion fund to redemptions earlier this year, making it a focal point of industry anxiety despite management asserting that fundamentals remain strong.
