Blackstone (NYSE:BX) today reported its fourth quarter and full year
2015 results.
Stephen A. Schwarzman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said,
“Despite challenging and volatile markets, Blackstone continues to
deliver strong results for our limited partners and unitholders. Our
investment funds largely outperformed global markets by a wide margin
last year and we remained very active in terms of realizations,
returning $43 billion to our fund investors and generating record
distributable earnings. We simultaneously deployed $32 billion into new
investments, a record pace which accelerated in the fourth quarter given
the increasingly attractive investment backdrop. With the industry’s
largest pool of dry powder capital of $80 billion, we remain
extraordinarily well positioned to move with speed and certainty as
investment opportunities arise.”
Blackstone issued a full detailed presentation of its fourth quarter and
full year 2015 results, which can be viewed at www.blackstone.com.
