Blackstone Reports First Quarter Results
BY Business Wire — 7:00 AM ET 04/16/2015


NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Blackstone today reported its first quarter 2015 results.

Stephen A. Schwarzman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Blackstone again broke all of our asset and earnings records in the first quarter. Economic Net Income doubled from the prior year, while Distributable Earnings rose nearly 160%. Realization activity continued to accelerate while, at the same time, we’ve been raising and investing funds at an unprecedented rate, creating the basis for future value. Our limited partners entrusted us with $30 billion of new capital in the quarter and $77 billion over the last twelve months, shattering our own record for the alternative asset management industry, and driving our Total Assets Under Management to $310 billion, up 14% year over year.”
