Blackstone ISG-II Advisors L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, was founded in 2017 as
part of Blackstone Insurance Solutions, the former division of Blackstone that included the
Registrant. As of March 31, 2024, the Registrant serves as the discretionary investment manager
or sub-manager pursuant to investment management agreements entered into between the
Registrant and each of its clients (each, a “Client” and collectively, the “Clients”) to provide
investment management services to the Clients. For the avoidance of doubt, one or more Clients
may be affiliated with one another, although it is expected that not all Clients will be affiliated.
The Clients include two different types of pooled investment vehicles formed to offer investment
solutions for insurance companies and other financial institutions and investors:
(1) Allocation Funds (“Allocation Funds”)
The Allocation Funds primarily invest in or alongside a range of Blackstone investment vehicles
(including private equity or other alternative asset drawdown funds or open-ended funds),
accounts (including separately managed accounts or sub-managed accounts) or other Blackstone
affiliates, which may include one or more side-by-side investment vehicles and co-investment
vehicles (“Underlying Blackstone Accounts”), managed or sub-managed by Blackstone or its
affiliates (the “Underlying Blackstone Managers”), or in investment funds, vehicles or accounts
managed or sub-managed by non-Blackstone managers (“Third-Party Managers” and together
with the Underlying Blackstone Managers, the “Underlying Managers”) and other investments
and asset classes related thereto in good faith in accordance with investment guidelines,
investment management agreements and any other governing documents relating to the Clients
(“Third-Party Accounts” and together with Underlying Blackstone Accounts, the “Underlying
Accounts”). Certain discussions of risks and conflicts described herein that apply to the Clients
may also apply to the Underlying Accounts and Underlying Managers (and vice versa) and certain
risks and conflicts described herein that apply to the Underlying Blackstone Accounts and
Underlying Blackstone Managers may also apply to the Third-Party Managers and Third Party
Accounts.
(2) Investment Funds (“Investment Funds”)
Investment Funds seek to deliver attractive risk-adjusted investment returns by acquiring
Portfolio Entities (defined below) related to insurance companies and insurance-related assets.
“Portfolio Entity” describes, individually and collectively, any entity owned, directly or indirectly
through subsidiaries, by one or more Clients, Underlying Blackstone Accounts, Other Blackstone
Accounts (defined below) or one or more third-party investors (including co-investors), including,
as the context requires, portfolio companies, holding companies, special purpose vehicles and
other entities through which investments are held. “Other Blackstone Accounts” are any pooled
investment vehicles, managed accounts and/or other similar arrangements advised, managed or
operated by Blackstone or its affiliates (and including such future pooled investment vehicles,
managed accounts and/or other similar arrangements) and any successors thereto other than
the Clients.
Ownership of the Registrant
Blackstone Inc. is the ultimate parent of the Registrant and is a publicly traded corporation listed
on the New York Stock Exchange that trades under the ticker symbol “BX”. Blackstone
Intermediary Holdco L.L.C. is the managing member of the Registrant. Blackstone Securities

Blackstone is a leading global
alternative investment manager with investment vehicles focused
on private equity, real estate, hedge fund solutions, credit, secondary funds, tactical
opportunities, infrastructure, insurance solutions and life sciences. Effective as of January 1,
2024, Blackstone Credit, Blackstone Insurance Solutions and Blackstone’s Asset Based Finance
platform were integrated into a single new unit, “Blackstone Credit & Insurance” or “BXCI”. For
the avoidance of doubt, references to the Registrant’s insurance asset management business
throughout this brochure exclude any credit-focused or asset-based finance asset management
affiliates in BXCI. Please see Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations and
Item 11 – Code of Ethics for more information.
Assets Under Management
The Registrant’s regulatory assets under management (“RAUM”) are $13,316,784,702 (as of
December 31, 2023), all of which are managed on a discretionary basis.
The assets reported above exclude assets with respect to which the Registrant has delegated
investment advisory authority to certain investment advisers that are “related persons” (as
defined in Form ADV) of the Registrant. Such assets, which may be managed on a sub-advisory
basis, are included in the RAUM reported in the ADV Part 2A of the related advisers to which the
Registrant delegated such investment advisory authority. Per the instructions to Form ADV Part
1A, such excluded sub-advisory assets are included in the RAUM reported in the Registrant’s
Form ADV Part 1A.
Furthermore, the assets reported above include assets attributable to the amount that Clients of
the Registrant have invested in clients advised by an investment adviser that is a related person
of the Registrant. As a result, those assets are included in the RAUM of both the Registrant and
such other affiliated advisers.
