Blackstone's chairman Stephen Schwarzman asserted that physical real estate and asset-based credit offer superior protection against technological displacement compared to traditional corporate credit, a view supported by ongoing infrastructure deployment. The firm, which has a vast $310bn exposure to technology sectors, is actively deploying capital, evidenced by KKR's latest $1.5bn investment into communication towers. Separately, Harbert Management secured an interim close of $450 million for a new fund strategy, signaling continued appetite for specialized private credit vehicles despite broader tech disruption concerns.
