Blackstone Reports First Quarter Results

Blackstone (NYSE:BX) today reported its first quarter 2014 results.

Stephen A. Schwarzman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Blackstone reported first quarter records for Economic Net Income and Distributable Earnings, with continued strong momentum across the board. With leading, global platforms across multiple asset classes, our investors benefit from our ability to identify relative value across markets and deploy capital toward ideas with the best risk-reward profile. As such, the environment for new investments has remained favorable for us and we deployed or committed $7.4 billion in the quarter. This also translates into leading investment performance and our investors have entrusted us with greater amounts of their capital as a result. Blackstone remains one of the fastest growing managers in the fastest growing part of asset management, and we ended the quarter with a record $272 billion in total assets under management, up 25% year over year.”
