In addition, Blackstone provides investment management or sub-advisory services to other clients, other investment funds, client accounts (including managed accounts), and proprietary accounts and/or other similar arrangements (including arrangements in which one or more Clients or one or more Other Clients own interests), in each case including any related vehicles (such other clients, funds and accounts, other than Clients and the Other Blackstone Credit Clients, collectively the “Blackstone Clients” (as further defined below), and together with the Other Blackstone Credit Clients, the “Other Clients”).

Blackstone Credit provides investment advice to Clients primarily in respect of investments in first lien loans, second lien loans, high yield bonds, distressed securities, mezzanine securities, public and private equity, and derivatives in respect of the foregoing. Blackstone Credit provides advice with respect to direct lending loan origination and with respect to trading of syndicated and actively traded loans or securities. In certain situations, the Registrant is able to tailor its advisory services and investments based on specific Client objectives and/or investment strategies as discussed with the applicable Client. The Registrant is available to discuss such customized investment strategies or individually managed accounts with existing and potential clients upon request. BLCS’s regulatory assets under management were approximately $30 billion as of December 31, 2023, all of which are managed on a discretionary basis.1 1 The assets reported above include assets with respect to which an investment adviser that is a “related person” (as defined in Form ADV) of BLCS has delegated investment advisory authority to BLCS. Such sub-advisory assets are excluded from the regulatory assets under management reported in the ADV Part 2A of the affiliated adviser that delegated the authority. Additionally, the assets reported above include assets attributable to the amount that clients advised by an investment adviser that is a related person of BLCS have invested in clients of BLCS. As a result, those assets are included in the regulatory assets under management of both BLCS and such other affiliated advisers. Additionally, the assets reported above exclude assets attributable to an investment by one client in another client that would represent a duplication of assets already included in calculating regulatory assets under management (so that such assets are counted only once).
