What happens if too many investors try to cash out at once?

Direct answer

This is called oversubscription. If redemption requests exceed the fund's limit, the fund scales back everyone's request proportionally (pro-rata), and remaining shares stay invested until the next window.

This is known as oversubscription. If total redemption requests exceed the fund's limit for that period (e.g., investors ask for 10% of assets back, but the fund limit is 5%), the fund will scale back everyone's request proportionally (pro-rata). You will receive a portion of your requested cash, and your remaining shares will stay invested until the next window.
