Blackstone Private Credit Fund (together with its consolidated subsidiaries “BCRED” or the “Company”), is a Delaware statutory trust formed on February 11, 2020, and structured as an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Company has elected to be regulated as a business development company (a “BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “1940 Act”). In addition, the Company has elected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and intends to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company (a “RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Code”).
The Company is externally managed by Blackstone Private Credit Strategies LLC (the “Adviser”) and Blackstone Credit BDC Advisors LLC (the “Sub-Adviser” and, together with the Adviser, the “Advisers”). The Advisers are affiliates of Blackstone Alternative Credit Advisors LP (the “Sub-Administrator” and, collectively with its affiliates in the credit, asset based finance and insurance asset management business unit of Blackstone Inc. (“Blackstone”), “Blackstone Credit & Insurance,” or “BXCI”). Additionally, Blackstone Private Credit Strategies LLC, in its capacity as the administrator to the Company (in such capacity, the “Administrator” and, together with the Sub-Administrator, the “Administrators”), and the Sub-Administrator provide certain administrative and other services necessary for the Company to operate pursuant to an administration agreement between the Administrator and the Company (the “Administration Agreement”) and a sub-administration agreement between the Administrator and the Sub-Administrator (the “Sub-Administration Agreement, and together with the Administration Agreement, the “Administration Agreements”), respectively. From commencement through December 31, 2024, Blackstone Credit BDC Advisors LLC served as the Company’s investment adviser (in such capacity, the “Prior Adviser”) and Blackstone Alternative Credit Advisors LP served as the Company’s administrator (in such capacity, the “Prior Administrator”).
The Company was formed to invest primarily in originated loans and other securities, including broadly syndicated loans, of U.S. private companies. The Company’s investment objectives are to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, long-term capital appreciation. Under normal circumstances, the Company will invest at least 80% of its total assets (net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes) in private credit investments (loans, bonds and other credit instruments that are issued in private offerings or issued by private companies). Under normal circumstances, the Company expects that the majority of its portfolio will be in privately originated and privately negotiated investments, predominantly direct lending to U.S. private companies through (i) first lien senior secured and unitranche loans (including first-out/last-out loans) and (ii) second lien, unsecured, subordinated or mezzanine loans and structured credit, as well as broadly syndicated loans (for which the Company may serve as an anchor investor), club deals (generally investments made by a small group of investment firms) and other debt and equity securities (the investments described in this sentence, collectively, “Private Credit”). To a lesser extent, the Company may also invest in publicly traded securities of large corporate issuers. The Company expects that such investments will generally be liquid, and may be used for the purposes of maintaining liquidity for the Company’s share repurchase program and cash management, while also presenting an opportunity for attractive investment returns.
The Company offers on a continuous basis up to $45.0 billion of common shares of beneficial interest (“Common Shares”) pursuant to an offering registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company offers to sell any combination of three classes of Common Shares, Class I shares, Class S shares and Class D shares, with a dollar value up to the maximum offering amount. The share classes have different ongoing shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees. The purchase price per share for each class of Common Shares equals the net asset value (“NAV”) per share, as of the effective date of the monthly share purchase date. Blackstone Securities Partners L.P. (the “Intermediary Manager”) will use its best efforts to sell shares, but is not obligated to purchase or sell any specific amount of shares in the offering. The Company also engages in private offerings of its Common Shares, including to affiliates that are registered under the 1940 Act or regulated as BDCs under the 1940 Act.
