Thu, 19 Feb 2026 21:26:00 +0000	Blue Owl Move to Curb Redemptions at Private-Credit Fund Hits Alt Manager Stocks Blue Owl Capital’s move to halt quarterly redemptions at one of its private-credit funds is hitting the asset manager’s shares and those of other alternative managers, including Blackstone Ares Management and Apollo Global Management that are active in private credit. The action involving a relatively small fund targeted to retail investors run by Blue Owl is depressing the alt industry managers because of concern that redemptions could be curbed at other private-credit funds that are similar to the affected fund, Blue Owl Capital Corp. II, which isn’t publicly traded. The largest nontraded private-credit fund is Blackstone Private Credit, with about $47 billion in net assets, followed by Blue Owl Credit Income at $19 billion of net assets, and Apollo Debt Solutions at $14 billion, according to data from Raymond James analysts.
