Morgan Stanley fulfilled 43% of redemption requests for its $7 billion North Haven Private Income Fund in the second quarter after investors sought to withdraw 11.6% of the fund's units outstanding. The fund's net asset value decreased by $102 million, or 3.2%, from its March 31 level after accounting for subscriptions and dividend reinvestment. The firm indicated that roughly half of the latest redemption orders came from investors who were previously unable to fully exit.

Redemption Activity and Fund Composition

In the first quarter, investors had sought to pull roughly 10.9% from the fund. Morgan Stanley’s investment management arm pointed to steadier request patterns versus the prior quarter in a letter to investors. The firm stated that the composition and stabilization in request activity may indicate durability in the investor base.

As of May 31, the fund held loans tied to 301 borrowers spanning 45 industries. The filing disclosed the fund's software exposure at about 22.7%.

Industry-Wide Withdrawal Curbs

A smaller related vehicle, North Haven Private Income Fund A, received redemption requests equal to 7.2% of shares and planned to meet 5% under its standard limit. Other non-traded business development companies run by Apollo Global, Blackstone, and BlackRock have also curtailed withdrawals. The flagship private credit fund of Cliffwater LLC capped redemptions at 5% in the second quarter after investors sought to redeem approximately 17% of the fund’s shares.

Partners Group is restricting investor withdrawals from its $8.6 billion Global Value SICAV fund after redemption requests exceeded 5% of the net asset value. Apollo President Jim Zelter stated at a conference in New York that he expects wealthy clients to continue to seek cash back from private credit products, warning that redemption pressure could tick higher if investors try to time the limits.
