JPMorgan files for private credit fund that allows 7.5% redemptions

March 26 (Reuters) - JPMorgan ‌Chase has ​filed ​with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a private credit fund ‌that will allow investors to redeem 7.5% ⁠quarterly, as withdrawal pressures build across the industry.

According to ‌a prospectus on Wednesday, ‌JPMorgan Public and Private Credit Fund has also asked the market regulator for an exemption ​that would allow it to repurchase at least 2% of outstanding shares each ⁠month.

The fund would typically invest at least 80% of its net ​assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in credit investments, the prospectus said.

While ​the fund's policy permits ‌repurchases of between 5% and 25% of outstanding shares every quarter, it ⁠currently "expects" to repurchase 7.5%, it said.

The filing comes as the roughly $2-trillion private credit industry faces investor ⁠unease over lending standards and outsized exposure to the software ​industry, which has led to a wave of redemptions and pushed some to limit withdrawals.

Earlier this week, Ares ‌Management became the latest alternative asset manager to cap investor withdrawals ‌at a private credit fund following a surge ⁠in redemption requests, ‌joining the ranks ​of Apollo Global and BlackRock.
