Alarm bells are ringing across the private credit market. BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager with over $14 trillion in assets under management, announced Friday that it had restricted withdrawals from its flagship debt fund in response to a surge in redemption requests. Days earlier, Blackstone had raised the redemption limit on its BCRED Private Credit Fund to cope with record withdrawals. These restrictions follow a similar incident last month at Blue Owl, another alternative asset manager.
