Q2 2026 Redemption Trends: What Investors Need to Know
While redemption requests have continued to climb with cumulative unmet redemptions now sitting at $16.1 billion, there are reasons for measured optimism.1
What you’ll learn:
- What is the runway for redemption requests? Q2 could represent the peak in redemption requests, which aligns with forecasts from several large banks. While it could take a few quarters to work through the backlog, the trends beneath the surface are encouraging, namely as new investor redemption requests declined in Q2.
- Will elevated redemptions result in asset sales? Natural portfolio liquidity (interest and principal payments), cash on hand, allocations to broadly syndicated loans, and access to credit facilities all provide ample liquidity to navigate continued requests. As a result, we do not believe elevated redemptions will result in asset sales.
- The 5% gate is a feature, not a flaw. Rather than viewing the gate as a sign of distress, it serves as an important safeguard for investors – helping managers maintain a healthy liquidity buffer to meet potential redemption requests.
