On September 24, Blackstone Group LP fell 3.11% in regular trading, trading at approximately $115.52 per share, with turnover of $2.28 billion. The decline came as the broader alternative asset management sector weakened collectively, compounded by persistent concerns over redemption pressure in the firm's flagship real estate fund.
On the news front, Blackstone is arranging a secondary-market sale for investors in its $57.7 billion Blackstone Property Partners real estate fund to provide liquidity after high interest rates dragged on returns and triggered redemption demands. Meanwhile, US private credit default rates have climbed to record highs, further weighing on valuations across the alternative asset management space. Peers including Blue Owl Capital (-4.69%), Ares Management (-4.03%), and KKR (-2.8%) also posted notable declines.
While Blackstone simultaneously announced the launch of BXPM, a perpetual flagship fund offering eligible non-US investors access to its private equity, infrastructure, real estate, and credit platforms, the new product failed to offset prevailing bearish sentiment surrounding fund outflows and credit quality deterioration.
