Sign InThis development comes at a sensitive time for the private credit industry, as market data shows peers like Blackstone and Starwood have navigated similar redemption pressures in their non-traded REITs and credit vehicles recently. The 13.3% request rate represents a notable escalation from previous quarters, reflecting investor caution toward alternative assets in a high-interest-rate environment, per Wall Street Journal reports.
Regarding market performance, BLK stock closed at $1016.58 (close June 11, 2026), trading between a low of $1000.57 and a high of $1022.02.
