Overview of BPIA Advisory Services
BPIA serves as investment advisor to the BXPE Funds pursuant to the terms of the Advisory
Agreements (as defined below) with respect to each of the Funds. As investment advisor to the
BXPE Funds, BPIA:
Identifies investment opportunities for the BXPE Funds
Participates in the monitoring and evaluation of the BXPE Funds’ investments
Makes decisions regarding, or makes recommendations to the general partners of the
BXPE Funds (the “General Partners”) (or other managing entity or governing body of the
BXPE Funds) regarding, the purchase and/or sale of investments by the BXPE Funds and
related investment allocation matters, as further described herein
Through delegation agreements (the “Delegation Agreements”), BPIA provides specific portfolio
management services to certain private investment funds managed by an affiliated alternative
investment fund manager (the “BX AIFM”) for the purposes of the European Union Alternative
Investment Fund Managers Directive (“AIFMD”).
The individual needs of the investors in the BXPE Funds are not the basis of investment decisions
by BPIA. Investment advice is provided to the BXPE Funds by BPIA and not individually to the
BXPE Funds’ respective investors. Investors in the BXPE Funds are
entitled to the rights and
benefits described in the applicable confidential offering memoranda (or offering prospectuses)
(as supplemented from time to time), the limited partnership agreements (or articles of
incorporation, management regulations, declarations of trust or bylaws), the Delegation
Agreements and/or the investment advisory or management agreements (together with the
Delegation Agreements, the “Advisory Agreements”), subscription documents and other similar
applicable constituent or governing agreements and disclosure documents of each BXPE Fund
(collectively, the “Organizational Documents”).
With respect to the BXPE Funds, the Investment Committee for the BXPE Funds (the “BXPE
Investment Committee”), which includes senior and experienced investment professionals at
Blackstone, determines the investment policy and guidelines of each BXPE Fund.
All investments led by the BXPE Funds are reviewed and approved by the BXPE Investment
Committee. Investments led by Other Blackstone Clients (including continuation funds) which are
shared by the BXPE Funds are reviewed and approved by a subset of the BXPE Investment
Committee members to ensure that the BXPE Fund investments led by Other Blackstone Clients
are consistent with the BXPE Funds’ respective investment mandates and the portfolio
allocations described in their applicable Organizational Documents.
The BXPE Investment Committee process emphasizes a consensus-based approach to decision-
making among committee members and is the same process that Blackstone has adopted since
inception. In addition, the BXPE Funds are expected to benefit from the breadth of the Blackstone
platform, including the various investment, asset management, portfolio operations, finance,
investor relations, and legal and compliance professionals located around the globe.
BPIA advises one or more BXPE Funds that are governed by a board of directors (which is
comprised in part by independent directors) that is responsible for determining the investment
policy and guidelines of the applicable BXPE Fund. In the event that BPIA, in the future, advises a
Fund that has a limited partner advisory committee, references in this Brochure to the board of
directors or the independent directors thereof will be deemed to include the limited partner
advisory committee of such Fund unless the context indicates otherwise.
In addition, BPIA may, in the future, provide investment advisory services to one or more pooled
investment vehicles that will be registered investment companies under the U.S. Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act” or the “1940 Act”), or
regulated as business development companies (“BDCs”) under the Investment Company Act, and
that will pursue an investment strategy substantially similar to that pursued by the BXPE Funds.
With respect to any Fund that is incorporated, owned by shareholders and governed by a board
of directors, any references in this Brochure to the “limited partners” of a Fund will be deemed
to include the shareholders of any such incorporated Fund, and any references in this Brochure
to the “General Partner” of a Fund will be deemed to include the applicable board of directors of
such incorporated Fund or BPIA (or, where relevant, the BX AIFM), as applicable and as the
context may require, in each case unless the context indicates otherwise.
With respect to any Fund that is established as a Luxembourg mutual fund (fonds commun de
placement), any references in this Brochure to the “limited partners” of a Fund will be deemed
to include the unitholders of any such Fund, and any references in this Brochure to the
“General Partner” of a Fund will be deemed to include the management company of such Fund
or BPIA (or, where relevant, the BX AIFM), as applicable and as the context may require, in each
case unless the context indicates otherwise.
