On June 6, KKR fell 3.07% in regular trading, trading at $92.43/share, with trading volume of $147 million. The decline reflects ongoing sector-wide pressure from the private credit liquidity crisis that has gripped alternative asset managers.
On the news front, Swiss asset management giant Partners Group previously announced redemption restrictions on its $8.6 billion private equity fund, triggering sustained panic over liquidity mismatch risks across the private markets industry. The redemption pressure, initially concentrated in private credit, has been spreading to private equity categories as retail investors rush to redeem amid concerns over duration mismatch and deteriorating underlying asset quality. Meanwhile, Cliffwater's flagship private credit fund disclosed redemption requests exceeding those seen in the first quarter, amplifying fears of prolonged turmoil in the $1.8 trillion private credit market.
KKR has proactively responded by launching share repurchase tenders through its FS Income Trust and KKR Financial Income Trust, collectively targeting approximately 4.8 million shares at net asset value. However, TD Cowen analyst Bill Katz noted that the alternative asset sector may not see improvement before Labor Day, with recovery potentially delayed to year-end absent signs of peaking redemption volumes.
Within the Asset Management sector, Blackstone fell 3.54%, BlackRock declined 2.51%, Blue Owl Capital dropped 5.2%, and Bank of New York Mellon lost 1.3%, reflecting broad-based sector weakness.
