Fundraising & Credit

Blackstone has raised $10bn for its newest opportunistic credit fund, a significant capital deployment reflecting strong investor appetite to deploy capital into less liquid credit markets. This fundraising success comes as major private equity players pivot toward specialized credit vehicles capitalizing on current interest rate volatility.
