Maya Lindstrom Bet some East Coast team grabs him quick once he's on waivers and he gets the fresh start he wants.

The data align with HLEND’s similar trend of lower redemption requests and ongoing repurchases, suggesting a broader stabilizing trend in investors’ exit activity across private credit funds.

Sam Okafor The 600 million dollar repurchase plan combined with similar trends at HLEND suggests private credit outflows are finally starting to stabilize.
