Blackstone Multi-Asset Advisors L.L.C. (“BMAA”), a Delaware limited liability company, formerly known as
Blackstone Total Alternatives Solution Advisors L.L.C., was founded in 2014 as part of Blackstone (as
defined below). As an umbrella advisor, BMAA currently consists of Blackstone Total Alternatives Solution
(“BTAS”) and engages in other advisory activities outside of BTAS as described herein.
BMAA, through BTAS, provides investment advisory services to pooled investment vehicles (the “BTAS
Partnerships”), managed accounts or arrangements or alternative investment vehicles relating to the
foregoing and other investment vehicles (including successor vehicles) having the same or similar
investment objectives as the BTAS Partnerships (collectively, the “BTAS Funds” and each, a “BTAS Fund”).
BMAA is responsible for the management of the BTAS Funds’ investment program pursuant to an
investment advisory agreement entered into between each BTAS Fund and BMAA, and has the authority
to make commitments to investments and to make investment allocation and management decisions for
the BTAS Funds on a discretionary basis. BMAA will seek to invest each BTAS Fund’s assets into a variety
of appropriate investment opportunities primarily by investing each BTAS Fund’s assets in or alongside
Other Blackstone Clients (as defined below). Subject to the investment limitations of each BTAS Fund,
BTAS may also invest in or alongside investment funds, vehicles or accounts managed by third parties
(“Third Party Vehicles”) and in other appropriate investment opportunities selected by BMAA in
accordance with the BTAS Funds’ investment objectives. As used herein, the Other Blackstone Clients and
Third Party Vehicles are collectively referred to as the “Underlying Accounts” or “Underlying Vehicles” and
the managers of the Other Blackstone Clients and the Third Party Vehicles are collectively referred to as
the “Underlying Managers.”
BMAA also advises other types of investment vehicles and managed accounts or arrangements, including
various side-by-side investment vehicles sponsored by Blackstone (collectively, the “SBS Vehicles” and
each, an “SBS Vehicle”) that invest alongside various underlying Blackstone sponsored funds and/or Other
Blackstone Clients (directly or indirectly). With respect to the SBS Vehicles, BMAA provides administrative
and other services, including determining the commitment to investments with respect to the SBS
Vehicles across various underlying investment strategies. However, as of the date hereof, BMAA does not
currently expect there to be any new capital commitments or investments in the SBS Vehicles advised by
BMAA in the near future.
For purposes hereof, the foregoing clients of BMAA, including the BTAS Funds and the SBS Vehicles are
referred to herein as the “BMAA Clients”. BMAA, as adviser to the SBS Vehicles, acts separately from BTAS
when it provides administrative and other services with respect to the SBS Vehicles.

Overview of BTAS Advisory Services
As investment advisor to the BTAS Funds, BMAA:
Identifies investment opportunities for the BTAS Funds
Participates in the monitoring and evaluation of the BTAS Funds’ investments
Makes recommendations to the general partners of the BTAS Funds regarding the purchase and/or
sale of investments and allocation decisions, as further described herein
The individual needs of the investors in the BTAS Funds are not the basis of investment decisions by BMAA.
Investment advice is provided directly to the BTAS Funds by BMAA and not individually to the BTAS Funds’
respective investors. Investors in the BTAS Funds are entitled to the rights and benefits described in the
applicable confidential offering memorandum, limited partnership agreements, investment advisory
agreements, subscription documents and other applicable constituent fund documents of each BTAS Fund
(the “BTAS Fund Constituent Documents”).
With respect to the BTAS Funds, the BTAS investment committee (the
“BTAS Investment Committee”),
which includes certain Blackstone Senior Managing Directors and Managing Directors, determines the
investment policy and guidelines of each BTAS Fund.
The BTAS Investment Committee is responsible for determining the allocation of investment opportunities
among BTAS Funds that have active, overlapping investment periods based on such factors as it
determines in good faith to be appropriate, which may include, but not limited to:
Each BTAS Fund’s existing investment in the relevant Blackstone Asset Classes (as defined below)
The investment limitations of each BTAS Fund
The potential for the proposed investment opportunity to create an industry or sector imbalance in
the portfolio of any of the relevant BTAS Funds
The current investment pace and proximity of each relevant BTAS Fund to the end of its specified
term/investment period
The target deployment levels for each BTAS Fund
The tax consequences of such investment to each BTAS Fund and/or its underlying investors
Each BTAS Fund’s availability of leverage and any requirements or other terms of any existing leverage
facilities to which such BTAS Fund is a party
Such other considerations deemed relevant by the BTAS Investment Committee
The allocation policies and procedures permit deviations from such policies and procedures if certain
circumstances arise that are enumerated in the BTAS Allocation Framework and Strategy Identification
(the “Allocation Framework”) or where strict compliance with such allocation policies and procedures may
not be possible and/or if unusual or extraordinary conditions warrant deviation from standard practices.
In such circumstances, the BTAS Investment Committee (or the BTAS portfolio management team (the
“BTAS Portfolio Management Team”), pursuant to the authority delegated to it by the BTAS Investment
Committee, as described below) shall determine the appropriate actions which, in its reasonable
judgment, will serve the best interests of, and will be fair and reasonable with respect to, all of the BTAS
Funds.
The BTAS Investment Committee, along with the BTAS Portfolio Management Team, will also seek to
ensure strategy diversification within a given BTAS Fund pursuant to the applicable BTAS Fund Constituent
Documents. If a commitment is made to an investment that is also being made by two or more Other
Blackstone Clients which are part of different Blackstone Asset Classes, the BTAS Portfolio Management
Team will make an allocation determination for the purposes of the Blackstone Asset Class and fund
strategy diversification limits. In making such determination, the BTAS Portfolio Management Team will
consider the following factors:
The primary Blackstone investment committee approving the transaction
The primary Blackstone investment team undertaking the due diligence on the investment
opportunity
The primary investment objective of the Other Blackstone Clients
The fundamentals of the investment, such as geography and target asset
The relative amounts of capital committed by the Other Blackstone Clients
The relative amounts of capital committed by the BTAS Funds through fund life commitments and
periodic elections to the Other Blackstone Clients
The source of the investment opportunity
Other considerations deemed relevant by the BTAS Investment Committee
Pursuant to the Allocation Framework, the classification of each investment will be tracked by the BTAS
Portfolio Management Team to ensure compliance with the investment guidelines of the applicable BTAS
Fund. From time to time, Blackstone will launch new strategies that were not in existence at the time of
the BTAS program launch and these will be classified pursuant to the guidelines set out in the Allocation
Framework.
Other Activities
BMAA advises other types of investment vehicles and managed accounts or arrangements, such as the
SBS Vehicles that it has advised in the past that invest alongside various underlying Blackstone sponsored
funds and/or Other Blackstone Clients (directly or indirectly). When serving as adviser to an SBS Vehicle,
BMAA provides services pursuant to the applicable confidential offering memorandum, limited
partnership agreements, investment advisory agreements, subscription documents and other applicable
constituent documents relating to each SBS Vehicle (the “SBS Vehicle Constituent Documents” and
together with the BTAS Fund Constituent Documents, the “Constituent Documents”).
When serving as adviser to the SBS Vehicles, BMAA makes decisions with respect to commitments to
underlying strategies as part of the “side-by-side” investment program in accordance with the applicable
investment allocation framework and by balancing a variety of factors, including, but not limited to:
Long-term fundamentals
Risk profile of the Underlying Vehicles
The primary investment objective of the Other Blackstone Clients
