Private Credit Faces Liquidity Crisis as AI Disruption Accelerates Redemptions
Record redemption requests hit major private credit funds, with BlackRock's flagship fund seeing 14% requests and Morgan Stanley returning only half of requested capital. The pressure stems from AI-driven fears about software sector exposure, with S&P software down 27% since October as investors question long-term demand for office real estate and enterprise software.
Simultaneous liquidity stress and AI disruption fears could force private credit managers into fire sales, amplifying market volatility while revealing structural vulnerabilities in alternative investment strategies.
