Following the information, Evercore ISI mentioned the pick-up in BREIT redemption requests is hurting Blackstone.

“Blackstone launched a discover to BREIT shareholders that BREIT redemption requests have picked up and that Blackstone can be repurchasing ~$3bn thus far within the quarter (for October and November) and, going ahead, Blackstone will keep on with the two% of NAV month-to-month restrict or 5% of NAV quarterly restrict repurchases. If you happen to do the mathematics on the present ~$69bn of NAV, that equates to a most repurchase of ~$3.45bn per quarter,” wrote the analysts.

Within the close to time period we count on BREIT inflows to drop to basically zero, whereas there’ll presumably be a big enhance in new redemption requests, which can solely be crammed on a prorated foundation. This naturally creates a backlog of redemption requests that we count on will take quite a few quarters to be digested,” they wrote.
