Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust Inc. has been facing withdrawal requests exceeding its quarterly limit, a major test for the one of the private equity firm’s most ambitious efforts to reach individual investors. The news, in a letter Thursday, sent Blackstone stock falling as much as 10%, the biggest drop since March. “Our business is built on performance, not fund flows, and performance is rock solid,” a Blackstone spokesperson said, adding that BREIT’s concentration in rental housing and logistics in the Sun Belt leaves it well positioned going forward.

I wonder how it was doing in March of 2020.
Aren’t these guys majorly responsible for the inflated housing and rental market costs? IIRC they bought and kept buying, any time people were tying to buy a small affordable house somewhere they were bidding against these guys.

The Schwarzman Scholars program is housed at Tsinghua University. Since its inception, the program has maintained ties to the United Front Work Department as well as other organizations and personnel affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party.”
Redemption limits make sense from the fund management perspective., especially if the fund invests in long- term or illiquid vehicles. The problem with “redemption limits” is that they create investor panic — as we are beginning to see with black rock.
This “could” easily explode — bears close watching
I expect (I am nobody) next year the economic collapse will be global and far worse than 2008.
A solution of a global, centralized digital currency will be implemented.
Less freedom, more control.
