• Private credit funds have been facing record numbers of investor requests to return their money.

Apollo is the latest private credit investor to face massive repurchase requests and choose to gate payouts to shareholders.

The private credit fund, $14.5 billion Apollo Debt Solutions BDC, received requests for redemptions from 11.2% of shareholders in the first quarter, according to an SEC filing.

The total amount of requested redemptions is more than $1.5 billion.

The fund decided to gate these requests to just 5%, or roughly $730 million, in keeping with the vehicles' "designated liquidity objectives," the filing said. The vehicle saw $724 million in inflows in the same period.

This is a breaking story, and will be updated.
