“Total Assets Under Management” refers to the assets we manage. Our Total Assets Under Management equals the sum of:

(a)

the fair value of the investments held by our carry funds and our

side-by-side

and

co-investment

entities managed by us plus the capital that we are entitled to call from investors in those funds and entities pursuant to the terms of their respective capital commitments, including capital commitments to funds that have yet to commence their investment periods,

(b)

the net asset value of (1) our hedge funds, real estate debt carry funds, BPP, certain

co-investments

managed by us, certain credit-focused funds, and our Hedge Fund Solutions drawdown funds (plus, in each case, the capital that we are entitled to call from investors in those funds, including commitments yet to commence their investment periods), and (2) our funds of hedge funds, our Hedge Fund Solutions registered investment companies, BREIT, and BEPIF,

(c)

the invested capital, fair value or net asset value of assets we manage pursuant to separately managed accounts,

(d)

the amount of debt and equity outstanding for our collateralized loan obligations (“CLO”) during the reinvestment period,

(e)

the aggregate par amount of collateral assets, including principal cash, for our CLOs after the reinvestment period,

(f)

the gross or net amount of assets (including leverage where applicable) for our credit-focused registered investment companies,

(g)

the fair value of common stock, preferred stock, convertible debt, term loans or similar instruments issued by BXMT, and

(h)

borrowings under and any amounts available to be borrowed under certain credit facilities of our funds.

Table of Contents

Our carry funds are commitment-based drawdown structured funds that do not permit investors to redeem their interests at their election. Our funds of hedge funds, hedge funds, funds structured like hedge funds and other open-ended funds in our Real Estate, Hedge Fund Solutions and Credit & Insurance segments generally have structures that afford an investor the right to withdraw or redeem their interests on a periodic basis (for example, annually or quarterly), typically with 30 to 95 days’ notice, depending on the fund and the liquidity profile of the underlying assets. In our Perpetual Capital vehicles where redemption rights exist, Blackstone has the ability to fulfill redemption requests only (a) in Blackstone’s or the vehicles’ board’s discretion, as applicable, or (b) to the extent there is sufficient new capital. Investment advisory agreements related to certain separately managed accounts in our Hedge Fund Solutions and Credit & Insurance segments, excluding our BIS separately managed accounts, may generally be terminated by an investor on 30 to 90 days’ notice. Our BIS separately managed accounts can generally only be terminated for long-term underperformance, cause and certain other limited circumstances, in each case subject to Blackstone’s right to cure.

“Fee-Earning

Assets Under Management” refers to the assets we manage on which we derive management fees and/or performance revenues. Our

Fee-Earning

Assets Under Management equals the sum of:

(a)

for our Private Equity segment funds and Real Estate segment carry funds, including certain BREDS and Hedge Fund Solutions funds, the amount of capital commitments, remaining invested capital, fair value, net asset value or par value of assets held, depending on the fee terms of the fund,

(b)

for our credit-focused carry funds, the amount of remaining invested capital (which may include leverage) or net asset value, depending on the fee terms of the fund,

(c)

the remaining invested capital or fair value of assets held in

co-investment

vehicles managed by us on which we receive fees,

(d)

the net asset value of our funds of hedge funds, hedge funds, BPP, certain

co-investments

managed by us, certain registered investment companies, BREIT, BEPIF, and certain of our Hedge Fund Solutions drawdown funds,

(e)

the invested capital, fair value of assets or the net asset value we manage pursuant to separately managed accounts,

(f)

the net proceeds received from equity offerings and accumulated distributable earnings of BXMT, subject to certain adjustments,

(g)

the aggregate par amount of collateral assets, including principal cash, of our CLOs, and

(h)

the gross amount of assets (including leverage) or the net assets (plus leverage where applicable) for certain of our credit-focused registered investment companies.

Each of our segments may include certain

Fee-Earning

Assets Under Management on which we earn performance revenues but not management fees.

Our calculations of Total Assets Under Management and

Fee-Earning

Assets Under Management may differ from the calculations of other asset managers, and as a result this measure may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other asset managers. In addition, our calculation of Total Assets Under Management includes commitments to, and the fair value of, invested capital in our funds from Blackstone and our personnel, regardless of whether such commitments or invested capital are subject to fees. Our definitions of Total Assets Under Management and

Fee-Earning

Assets Under Management are not based on any definition of total assets under management and

fee-earning

assets under management that is set forth in the agreements governing the investment funds that we manage.

Table of Contents

For our carry funds, Total Assets Under Management includes the fair value of the investments held and uncalled capital commitments, whereas

Fee-Earning

Assets Under Management may include the total amount of capital commitments or the remaining amount of invested capital at cost, depending on whether the investment period has expired or as specified by the fee terms of the fund. As such, in certain carry funds

Fee-Earning

Assets Under Management may be greater than Total Assets Under Management when the aggregate fair value of the remaining investments is less than the cost of those investments.

“Perpetual Capital” refers to the component of assets under management with an indefinite term, that is not in liquidation, and for which there is no requirement to return capital to investors through redemption requests in the ordinary course of business, except where funded by new capital inflows. Perpetual Capital includes

co-investment

capital with an investor right to convert into Perpetual Capital.

This report does not constitute an offer of any Blackstone Fund.
