BlackRock HLEND Caps Redemptions at 5% as Investors Seek 13.3%

1 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 12

Summary

  • BlackRock’s roughly $25 billion HPS Corporate Lending Fund limited withdrawals to 5% for a second straight quarter after investors requested redemptions equal to 13.3% of shares.
  • The filing points to continued investor unease over the health of the $1.8 trillion private credit market, with redemption demand rising from 9.3% in the prior quarter.
  • That increase suggests shareholder pressure on private credit vehicles is persisting rather than easing, even at one of BlackRock’s flagship funds.
