NEW YORK (Reuters) – Blackstone (NYSE:BX) Inc said on Thursday it was limiting withdrawals from its $69 billion real estate income trust (REIT) after receiving too many redemption requests, sending the alternative asset manager’s shares down 7%.

Blackstone said it would curb withdrawals from its REIT franchise after it received in November redemption requests greater than 2% of its monthly net asset value and 5% of its quarterly net asset value.
