"BlackRock disclosed it had placed withdrawal limits on its flagship private credit fund after receiving redemption requests totaling $1.2 billion in the first quarter, roughly 9.3% of the fund's net asset value."
"The post noted that 'redemption requests faced by some of the biggest players in the market reflect the liquidity mismatch in the sector, where investor money is often tied up in assets that cannot be sold immediately.'"
