Sponsors Return More Than $7.4 Billion to Investors So Far in Q1
Stanger has updated its previously published Press Release on March 25 after five additional NAV BDCs have reported Q1 2026 tender offer results. This includes both Blue Owl BDCs, Oaktree, Crescent, and John Hancock.
With approximately 96% of the market reporting, NAV BDC sponsors have delivered more than $7.4 billion in liquidity to investors so far in Q1 2026, up from the $5.8 billion previously reported.
“With more than 96% of the market now reporting, NAV BDC sponsors have returned more than $7.4 billion to investors in Q1 — a record for the product type," stated Kevin T. Gannon, Chairman & CEO of Stanger. "Total redemption requests reached approximately $13.9 billion this quarter, reflecting significant investor demand. The fact that sponsors were able to deliver this level of liquidity within the defined program limits demonstrates exactly what these structures were built to do. As we saw with NAV REITs in 2022, elevated redemption periods are a feature of semi-liquid vehicles, not a flaw — and the data continues to bear that out.”
Reported Q1 2026 tender offer results for the full NAV BDC landscape are detailed in the table below:
