Definition of 'Redemption Suspension'

A provision on a hedge fund preventing the withdrawal from the fund during a redemption period.

Investopedia explains 'Redemption Suspension'

This action is seen as a very negative event for a hedge fund and is used only in extreme situations, as it is preventing investors to access their money. It is also seen as a sign of a major problem within the fund and its management, and will often lead to a run on the fund once the redemption suspension is lifted.
