Blackstone ISG-I 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 has entered into investment management
agreements (each, as amended and restated from time to time, an “Investment Management
Agreement”) with clients (each, a “Client” and collectively, the “Clients”) pursuant to which the
Registrant will supervise and direct the investment and reinvestment of the assets held by a
Client in its general account or other account (each, an “Account”). 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.
As investment adviser to Clients, the Registrant will:
• Actively manage, with full discretion, investment portfolios for Clients
• Identify and implement investment opportunities for Clients
• Impose and monitor investment guidelines with respect to regulatory or capital
constraints
• Monitor and evaluate Clients’ investments
• Monitor conflicts of interest
• Make recommendations regarding investment management and/or allocation decisions,
as further described herein
• Engage in foreign currency hedging transactions and/or the hedging of certain market
exposures for certain Clients
• Provide cash management for certain Clients
The Registrant will engage third-party service providers, such as custodians, administrators
and/or auditors, on behalf of Clients.
Separately Managed Accounts – Direct Investments and Underlying Accounts
Subject to the Investment Management Agreements and any other governing documents
relating to each Client, the Registrant has full authority to invest the assets held in Clients’
Accounts, including, without limitation, making investments in various types of securities and
assets, including, direct investment opportunities (“Direct Investments”) as well as in
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 vehicles, which may include one or more side-by-side investment vehicles and co-
5
investment vehicles (“Underlying Blackstone Accounts”), managed or sub-managed by
Blackstone or its affiliates (the “Underlying Blackstone Managers”). The Registrant may also
invest the assets of an Account in, or pursuant to, managed account and/or sub-manager
arrangements and/or investment vehicles (“Third Party Accounts” and together with the
Underlying Blackstone Accounts, the “Underlying Accounts”) advised by third-party managers
that are unaffiliated with Blackstone (the “Third-Party Managers”, and together with the
Underlying Blackstone Managers, the “Underlying Managers”). Certain discussions of risks and
conflicts described herein that apply to the Client 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. Please see Item 8 – Methods of
Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss for further information.
Direct Investments can be expected to include, without limitation, private and/or public debt,
loans, securitizations, structured products, loan originations and other credit and similar
instruments and other types of investment arrangements determined by the Registrant on a
discretionary basis (directly or indirectly through Underlying Accounts or other Blackstone- or
Third-Party Manager-sourced or originated investment arrangements or solutions). Please see
Item 8 - Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss for more information.
Investments in Underlying Accounts may, in each case, be across a range of asset classes and/or
investment types (including, without limitation, credit and direct lending, private equity, real
estate, real estate debt, “opportunistic” investments, secondary investments, infrastructure,
growth equity, life sciences, investments in structured products / asset-backed securities and
other alternative investment arrangements). A majority of the assets of each Client’s Accounts
will be managed through various sub-advisory arrangements with Blackstone-affiliated
investment managers and include new strategies and customized investment solutions
managed by Underlying Blackstone Managers. Such strategies may include, for example,
dedicated or direct co-investment arrangements, asset backed securities, investment
origination and sourcing solutions relating to CLOs, CMBS, RMBS, commercial mortgage loans,
residential whole loans, “high yield” securities, high grade securities, collateralized fund
obligations, private market credit origination and other separately managed accounts
and
arrangements.
The Registrant must allocate and invest the Accounts’ assets in accordance with investment
guidelines specified in their Investment Management Agreement, applicable law (including,
without limitation, applicable insurance laws and regulations) and other considerations, which
place limits on the types of assets that may be held in an Account.
Commingled Feeder Vehicles
The Registrant also provides investment management, administrative and other services to
certain Clients structured as limited partnerships or similar investment vehicles or accounts
established by the Registrant to facilitate the commingling of assets of certain Clients or other
entities (each, a “Commingled Feeder Vehicle”). Any such Commingled Feeder Vehicle is
6
expected to be operated as a feeder fund that will invest in Underlying Blackstone Accounts or
other investment opportunities (including, without limitation, co-investments). Commingled
Feeder Vehicles should be understood in this Brochure to be Underlying Blackstone Accounts as
the context so requires.
Associated Endowment Program
In addition to the advisory activities described above, the Registrant delegates investment
advisory responsibility to Underlying Blackstone Managers as sub-advisor in respect of advisory
services with respect to accounts for charitable programs, endowments and/or related entities
established by, or associated with, Blackstone and/or certain of its affiliates or employees
(current and/or former) (collectively, the “Associated Endowment Program”). The Associated
Endowment Program seeks to invest largely in or alongside a range of Underlying Blackstone
Accounts and Other Blackstone Accounts, but may also invest in other investment opportunities
determined to be appropriate by Underlying Blackstone Managers in good faith, including Third
Party Accounts.
With respect to the Associated Endowment Program, the Registrant and the Underlying
Blackstone Managers review the information available to them to make investment and
management decisions regarding the Associated Endowment Program in accordance with its
Constituent Documents.

The Registrant’s regulatory assets under management (“RAUM”) are $5,935,652,900 (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

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

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.
