Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Blackstone, with $726.6 billion in fee-earning AUM at the end of 2023, is a go-to firm for institutional and high-net-worth investors looking for exposure to alternatives.

Bears

Downturns in the equity and credit markets could leave potential investors in Blackstone's funds with limited liquidity and large commitments to other funds, making it more difficult for the firm to raise new capital.
