ADVICE

Always Verify Liquidity Terms For Private Credit

  • Check liquidity and redemption terms before investing in private credit or semi-liquid funds.
  • Treat private credit and similar alternatives as capital you won't need for 3–5+ years because redemptions can take months and be limited.
INSIGHT

Redemptions Reflect Fear Not Always Underperformance

  • Large redemption requests don't necessarily mean underlying loans are failing.
  • BCRED posted ~11.5% annualized returns even as investors requested a record ~8% withdrawal, showing stress can be behavioral.
ANECDOTE
