May 23 (Reuters) - Starwood Real Estate Income Trust, the real estate investment fund run by Barry Sternlicht-led Starwood Capital, said on Thursday it will limit investor redemptions to 0.33% of its net asset value starting May.

The fund typically allows investors to redeem shares up to 2% of its net asset value.

Starwood's fund has been fielding withdrawal requests from investors worried about the troubles in the real estate sector.
