Blackstone's chairman Stephen Schwarzman defended the firm's conviction in physical real estate, asserting that tangible assets and asset-based credit offer superior insulation against technological disruption compared to traditional corporate credit holdings. This defense comes as KKR committed $1.5 billion to European towers, a strategic infrastructure play, while simultaneously Blackstone is monitoring AI's impact across its vast $310 billion portfolio. Furthermore, Harbert Management secured an interim close of $450 million for a new fund, signaling continued appetite for specialist private capital despite macroeconomic uncertainty.
