Blackstone

Spear’s Review

Private equity giant Blackstone, which has more than $1 trillion in assets under management, is best known for partnering with the world’s largest institutional investors, including major endowments, sovereign wealth funds and pension funds. But it also sources institutional-level investment opportunities for family offices and private investors via its private wealth solutions offering. 

The firm’s global investment strategies for private clients are focused on real estate, private equity, infrastructure, life sciences, growth equity, credit, real assets, secondaries and hedge funds. 

Blackstone, which set up its private wealth solutions business in 2011, partners with private banks such as BNP Paribas and UBS to find solutions for large pools of private capital. Around $250 billion of its total AuM comes from this part of the business.
