“A high-yield mutual fund is blocking investors from withdrawing their money, in a rare and jarring move amid a severe downturn in below-investment-grade and distressed debt.  The move at Third Avenue Focused Credit Fund is intended to facilitate an orderly liquidation of the fund, which recently had $789 million in assets, down from more than $2.4 billion earlier this year. It comes amid redemption requests at the fund and reduced liquidity in some parts of the bond market. Those two factors made it ‘impractical’ for the fund to pay off departing investors without selling holdings at fire-sale prices ‘that would unfairly disadvantage the remaining shareholders.'”
