Cracks are widening in the $2 trillion private credit market.

Blue Owl Capital has fallen 56% over the past year, significantly underperforming major private credit peers. The decline reflects rising investor concerns, as redemption requests at its two largest private credit funds reached $4.7 billion in Q2, exceeding quarterly withdrawal limits. Its technology-focused fund faced particularly heavy pressure, with 38% of investors seeking to exit. The trend extends across the private credit industry, where record redemption requests totaled $15.6 billion in Q2, but only 38% were met, leaving $9.7 billion outstanding. These developments highlight growing liquidity risks, suggesting private credit may be entering its most challenging stress test yet. Source: Global Markets Investor
