I have something to say that I think is going to be especially important in the next year.
Another interval fund is about to meet real price discovery.
On Dec. 16, Bluerock’s BPRE will list as a closed-end fund — and I believe it will open at a 30%+ discount to its stated NAV, a $1B+ hit for investors.
FSSL listed in Nov and is down 26% from NAV. @CliffordAsness’ turn of phrase “volatility laundering” was a 🎯 on what’s wrong with private credit and interval funds.
These losses are exactly what happens when the bug becomes the feature. Countless investors were lured by the 1% monthly dividend and a fake Sharpe better than the late great Jim Simons.
It’s going to get ugly…
