Private Markets & Real Assets

Blackstone's chairman voiced confidence in real estate’s enduring value, arguing that physical assets and asset-based credit offer superior insulation against technological disruption compared to traditional corporate credit amid concerns over artificial intelligence and private credit stress. This perspective aligns with the firm's ongoing infrastructure activity, as Blackstone is positioned to observe AI trends across its $310 billion portfolio, while peers like KKR committed $1.5 billion to tower investments.
