Movement Alert|Blackstone Falls 3.01% in Regular Trading, Alternative Asset Management Sector Under Pressure Amid Private Credit Liquidity Concerns

Market Focus06-24

On June 24, Blackstone fell 3.01% in regular trading, trading at $119.46/share, with turnover of $221 million. The alternative asset management sector broadly weakened, with BlackRock down 3.32%, KKR down 3.39%, and Blue Owl Capital down 3.52%.

The decline was driven by intensifying private credit liquidity concerns across the industry. Apollo recently capped quarterly redemptions at 5% after its $26 billion Apollo Debt Solutions fund saw redemption requests surge to nearly 17%, involving approximately $2.4 billion. Earlier, Blackstone had imposed a similar 5% redemption cap on its $79 billion BCRED private credit fund following a spike in withdrawal requests. Industry experts warned that the mismatch between illiquid private credit assets and semi-liquid product structures marketed to retail investors is being stress-tested, with widespread redemption pressure challenging the operational viability of these vehicles.

The sector-wide selling pressure, compounded by unresolved concerns over Blackstone's own fund liquidity constraints, weighed on the stock during the session.
