($ in millions)
Investment Performance represents fund appreciation for Real Estate and Private Equity and gross returns for Hedge Fund Solutions and Credit & Insurance. Secondaries appreciation is reported on a three-month lag from the fund financial reporting. Effective 3Q’21, the Secondaries fund financial reporting process was updated to generally report underlying fund investments on a same-quarter basis, if available. Previously such fund financial reporting was generally on a three-month lag. This update has permitted Secondaries appreciation to be reported on a more current basis. Secondaries appreciation is presented above as if the updated reporting process was in place for prior periods. Secondaries appreciation for 4Q’21 is not impacted by the reporting process change. Including the “catch up” from the reporting process change to reflect the economic and market activity of five quarters in FY’21, Secondaries appreciation was 61.2% for FY’21. BPS Composite net returns were 0.6% and 7.2% for 4Q’21 and FY’21, respectively. Private Credit net returns were 3.1% and 16.2% for 4Q’21 and FY’21, respectively. Liquid Credit net returns were 0.7% and 4.9% for 4Q’21 and FY’21, respectively. See notes on page 32 for additional details on investment performance. |

Inflows include contributions, capital raised, other increases in available capital (recallable capital and increased side-by-side commitments), purchases, inter-segment allocations and acquisitions. Outflows represent redemptions, client withdrawals and decreases in available capital (expired capital, expense drawdowns and decreased side-by- side commitments). Realizations represent realization proceeds from the disposition or other monetization of assets, current income or capital returned to investors from CLOs. Market Activity includes realized and unrealized gains (losses) on portfolio investments and the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations. AUM is reported in the segment where the assets are managed. Total AUM Market Activity for the full year period includes an adjustment for a change in methodology, see additional notes on page 33. |

Blackstone | 20 |
INVESTMENT RECORDS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2021 – NOTES
The returns presented herein represent those of the applicable Blackstone Funds and not those of Blackstone Inc.
n/m |
Not meaningful generally due to the limited time since initial investment. |
n/a |
Not applicable. |
(a) |
Excludes investment vehicles where Blackstone does not earn fees. |
(b) |
Available Capital represents total investable capital commitments, including side-by-side, adjusted for certain expenses and expired or recallable capital and may include leverage, less invested capital. This amount is not reduced by outstanding commitments to investments. |
(c) |
Multiple of Invested Capital (“MOIC”) represents carrying value, before management fees, expenses and Performance Revenues, divided by invested capital. |
(d) |
Unless otherwise indicated, Net Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) represents the annualized inception to December 31, 2021 IRR on total invested capital based on realized proceeds and unrealized value, as applicable, after management fees, expenses and Performance Revenues. IRRs are calculated using actual timing of limited partner cash flows. Initial inception date of cash flows may differ from the Investment Period Beginning Date. |
(e) |
The 8% Realized Net IRR and 8% Total Net IRR exclude investors that opted out of the Hilton investment opportunity. Overall BREP International II performance reflects a 7% Realized Net IRR and a 7% Total Net IRR. |
(f) |
BREP Co-Investment represents co-investment capital raised for various BREP investments. The Net IRR reflected is calculated by aggregating each co-investment’s realized proceeds and unrealized value, as applicable, after management fees, expenses and Performance Revenues. |
(g) |
BPP represents the Core+ real estate funds which invest with a more modest risk profile and lower leverage. Committed Capital and Available Capital are not regularly reported to investors in our Core+ strategy and are not applicable in the context of these funds. |
(h) |
Unrealized Investment Value reflects BREIT’s net asset value as of December 31, 2021. Realized Investment Value represents BREIT’s cash distributions, net of servicing fees. The BREIT net return reflects a per share blended return, assuming BREIT had a single share class, reinvestment of all dividends received during the period, and no upfront selling commission, net of all fees and expenses incurred by BREIT. These returns are not representative of the returns experienced by any particular investor or share class. Inception to date net returns are presented on an annualized basis and are from January 1, 2017. Committed Capital and Available Capital are not regularly reported to investors in our Core+ strategy and are not applicable in the context of this vehicle. |
(i) |
BREDS High-Yield represents the flagship real estate debt drawdown funds only. |
(j) |
Blackstone Core Equity Partners is a core private equity strategy which invests with a more modest risk profile and longer hold period than traditional private equity. |
(k) |
Realizations are treated as return of capital until fully recovered and therefore unrealized and realized MOICs are not applicable. Returns are calculated from results that are reported on a three-month lag from Strategic Partners’ fund financial statements and therefore do not include the impact of economic and market activities in the current quarter. Effective 4Q’21, the MOIC calculation was updated to exclude capital called for management fees and expenses from invested capital. |
(l) |
Funds presented represent the flagship credit drawdown funds only. The Total Credit Net IRR is the combined IRR of the credit drawdown funds presented. |
(m) |
Unrealized Investment Value reflects Blackstone Private Credit Fund’s (“BCRED”) net asset value as of December 31, 2021. Realized Investment Value represents BCRED’s cash distributions, net of servicing fees. The BCRED net return reflects a per share blended return, assuming BCRED had a single share class, reinvestment of all dividends received during the period, and no upfront selling commission, net of all fees and expenses incurred by BCRED. These returns are not representative of the returns experienced by any particular investor or share class. Inception to date net returns are presented on an unannualized basis and are from January 7, 2021. Committed Capital and Available Capital are not regularly reported to investors in BCRED and are not applicable in the context of this vehicle. Does not include Blackstone Secured Lending Fund (“BXSL”) as it is now a publicly traded BDC following its IPO on October 28, 2021. |
