Blue Owl capping redemptions at 5% is a reminder: private credit ≠ daily liquidity. Gates aren’t a bug—they’re the mechanism that keeps forced selling from hurting remaining investors.

KKR closing a $23B fund during a PE slowdown is the definition of “flight to quality.” Capital isn’t disappearing—it’s concentrating.
