Current report

Most major equity markets appreciated in the third quarter of 2025, driven by positive economic data, accommodative central bank actions, and growing optimism over easing trade tensions. The S&P 500 Index delivered a total return of 8.1%, led by the information technology and telecommunications sectors, which gained 13.2% and 12.0%, respectively. The consumer staples sector, however, was the worst performing sector, declining 2.4%. Equity market volatility declined, with the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) declining 2.7% from the second quarter of 2025. In credit markets, the S&P Leveraged Loan Index generated a total return of 1.8% and the ICE Bank of America High Yield Bond Index returned 2.4%. High yield spreads tightened by 23 basis points, while year-to-date issuance increased 9.6% year-over-year.

Current report

The U.S. federal government shutdown effective October 1, 2025 has resulted in the unavailability of certain economic data for the third quarter of 2025, including GDP, labor market and personal consumption expenditures index data. Among the available data, the September Consumer Price Index was up 3.0% year-over-year and 0.3% from August, putting annual inflation at a rate of 3.0%. Although this represents a significant moderation of inflation compared to recent years, the overall rate has remained steadily above the Federal Reserve’s target of 2.0%. The Federal Reserve lowered the federal funds target range by 25 basis points in September 2025, followed by an additional 25 basis points to 3.75-4.00% subsequent to quarter end in October 2025, the lowest level in three years. Theten-year U.S. Treasury yield decreased 8 basis points in the quarter to 4.15% and further declined following quarter end to 4.08% as of October 31, 2025. Three-month SOFR decreased 21 basis points in the quarter to 4.24%.

Current report

Overall, despite the limited availability of data regarding the condition of the U.S. economy, resiliency in recent quarters and declines in interest rates have contributed to improved investor sentiment, stronger capital markets and increased transaction activity in the quarter.

While we would expect defaults to rise as the credit cycle progresses, we believe these structural advantages should position our Credit & Insurance segment well.

Previous report

The second quarter of 2025 began amid a sharp decline in investor sentiment related to trade and other policy-driven uncertainty and geopolitical instability, with the S&P 500 index falling as much as 14% on an intraday basis in the first five trading days of the quarter. However, most major equity indices later rebounded and ultimately posted gains for the quarter overall, as markets reacted positively to progress on trade negotiations and favorable economic data. The S&P 500 index delivered a total return of 10.9% in the second quarter, led by information technology and telecom sectors, which gained 23.7% and 18.5%, respectively. The energy and healthcare sectors underperformed, down 8.6% and 7.2%, respectively. Equity market volatility decreased overall by the end of the quarter, with the CBOE Volatility Index declining 24.9% quarter-over-quarter. In credit markets, the S&P leveraged loan index posted a total return of 2.3% and the ICE Bank of America high yield bond index returned 3.6% in the second quarter. High yield spreads tightened by 57 basis points in the quarter while year-to-date issuance decreased 8.4% year-over-year.

The U.S. economy demonstrated resilience and healthy growth in the second quarter of 2025. Inflation has moderated significantly from the post-Covid peak of 9.1% in June 2022, with June CPI up 2.7% year-over-year.

The ten-year U.S. Treasury yield increased 2 basis points in the second quarter to 4.23%, but decreased following quarter end to 4.19% as of August 4, 2025.

Our Credit & Insurance segment demonstrated strong performance in the second quarter of 2025. Credit & Insurance funds have benefited from an environment of high interest rates, although these rates have decreased and may decrease further in light of decelerating inflation. Greater clarity in the U.S. policy environment, including in respect of taxes and tariffs, and lower market volatility have contributed to a strong pipeline of potential transactions for our credit funds. Nevertheless, the ultimate outcome of ongoing tariff negotiations could have an adverse impact on the U.S. economy and growth expectations as well as contribute to slower-than-anticipated interest rate decreases in a manner that could adversely affect transaction activity in our Credit & Insurance segment.

Blackstone is the world’s largest alternative asset manager. We generate revenue from fees earned pursuant to contractual arrangements with funds, fund investors and fund portfolio companies (including management, transaction and monitoring fees), and from capital markets services. We also invest in the funds we manage and we are entitled to apro-rata share of the income of the fund (a“pro-rata allocation”). In addition to apro-rata allocation, and assuming certain investment returns are achieved, we are entitled to a disproportionate allocation of the income otherwise allocable to the limited partners, commonly referred to as carried interest (“Performance Allocations”). In certain structures, we receive a contractual incentive fee from an investment fund based on achieving certain investment returns (an “Incentive Fee,” and together with Performance Allocations, “Performance Revenues”). The composition of our revenues will vary based on market conditions and the cyclicality of the different businesses in which we operate. Net investment gains and investment income generated by the Blackstone Funds are driven by the performance of the underlying investments as well as overall market conditions. Fair values are affected by changes in the fundamentals of our portfolio companies and other investments, the industries in which they operate, the overall economy and other market conditions.

Taxes and Related Payables represent the total GAAP tax provision adjusted to include only the current tax provision (benefit) calculated on Income (Loss) Before Provision (Benefit) for Taxes and including the payable under the tax receivable agreement. Further, the current tax provision utilized when calculating Taxes and Related Payables and Distributable Earnings reflects the benefit of deductions available to the company on certain expense items that are excluded from the underlying calculation of Segment Distributable Earnings and Total Segment Distributable Earnings, such as equity-based compensation charges and certain Transaction-Related and Non-Recurring Items where there is a current tax provision or benefit. The economic assumptions and methodologies that impact the implied income tax provision are the same as those methodologies and assumptions used in calculating the current income tax provision for Blackstone’s Consolidated Statements of Operations under GAAP, excluding the impact of divestitures and accrued tax contingencies and refunds which are reflected when paid or received. The Payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement reflects the expected amount of tax savings generated in the period that parties to the Tax Receivable Agreement are entitled to receive in future periods. Management believes that including the amount payable under the tax receivable agreement and utilizing the current income tax provision adjusted as described above when calculating Distributable Earnings is meaningful as it increases comparability between periods and more accurately reflects earnings that are available for distribution to stockholders.

Nevertheless, we believe commercial real estate is increasingly well-positioned for a recovery. Our overall Real Estate equity portfolio has benefited and is set to benefit from positive cash flow growth, declining new supply and continued improvement in the cost and availability of debt. These factors should be constructive for asset values. Additionally, along with greater clarity in the U.S. policy environment and lower market volatility, these factors have contributed to a market environment that is more conducive to transaction activity. While we expect the market for larger realizations to remain muted in the near-term, we believe such factors, if sustained, should provide a strong foundation for acceleration in transaction activity. Additionally, these positive developments have coincided with improving investor sentiment, reflected in the continued decline in repurchase requests and a stronger quarter of fundraising in BREIT.

We believe values in our Real Estate equity portfolio will continue to benefit from healthy cash flow growth, declining new supply and further improvement in the cost and availability of debt. More favorable capital markets, along with improving investor sentiment, are also supporting an environment that is more conducive to transaction activity. While we expect the market for larger realizations to remain muted in the near-term, we believe this environment, if sustained, should provide a strong foundation for acceleration in transaction activity.

Previous wording

Our Private Equity segment generated positive performance across all strategies in the second quarter of 2025, with particular strength in our Life Sciences and Secondaries strategies. In Corporate Private Equity, our operating companies exhibited broad-based strength with healthy revenue growth and resilient margin expansion. Greater clarity in the U.S. policy environment, including in respect of taxes and tariffs, and lower market volatility, have contributed to increased market transaction activity. A more conducive capital markets environment, if sustained, should provide a foundation for acceleration in transaction activity, including realizations, in our Private Equity segment going forward. Continued decelerating inflation may also encourage the lowering of interest rates, which would be positive for asset values. These positive developments have additionally coincided with improving investor sentiment, reflected in stronger fundraising in our drawdown and perpetual strategies. Nevertheless, the ultimate outcome of ongoing tariff negotiations could have an adverse impact on the U.S. economy and growth expectations as well as contribute to slower-than-anticipated interest rate decreases in a manner that could adversely affect valuations, fundraising and realizations in our Private Equity segment.
