Annual Letter 2025

February 17, 2026

When we launched Blackstone Private Multi-Asset Credit and Income Fund (“BMACX” or the “Fund”) in May 2025, we did so with a clear view: the role of fixed income is evolving.

We believe public markets tend to be more volatile and can be a less reliable source of income, as well as less effective as a diversifier at a time when investors are seeking stability. [ 1 ] Meanwhile, we have seen private credit become more essential to financing corporates and the real economy where secular demand across infrastructure, real estate and power are driving massive capital needs . Private credit has continued to deliver an attractive premium in an environment where leveraged loan and high-yield spreads are historically tight. [ 2 ] BMACX was built to meet this moment – providing a single access, one-stop, private multi-asset credit solution that seeks to deliver diversified income and access to Blackstone’s leading $520B [ 3 ] credit platform.

Since inception, we believe we have delivered on this vision. Through broad exposure across the expanding private credit landscape, BMACX has generated strong income while maintaining meaningfully lower volatility than traditional fixed income. [ 4 ] Furthermore, BMACX is intentionally structured to seek returns primarily driven by credit selection and downside protection rather than movements from interest rates.

Performance
As of December 31, 2025, BMACX has delivered an inception-to-date unannualized total net return of 7.8% (Class I) over its first eight months. [ 6 ] Importantly, performance has been driven primarily by credit selection rather than movement in rates, which has supported the performance of high yield and investment grade bonds. Distributions increased steadily since inception, with $0.3128 [ 9 ] per share paid for Class I shares in Q4. All four core BMACX strategies contributed positively to performance in 2025, reinforcing the benefits of diversification across asset classes embedded in the Fund’s design, with Private Corporate Credit delivering the largest contribution to return for the period ended December 31, 2025. During the period, we remained underweight to Liquid Credit as we assessed relative value. As the Fund continues to scale, we intend to broaden the portfolio across asset classes. We view diversification across asset classes as a source of resilience – allowing different income streams to complement one another across market environments. [ 10 ]

Blackstone’s Multi-Asset Credit (“MAC”) Framework

The evolution of credit markets and expansion of investment strategies in today’s dynamic environment call for a new and improved multi-asset credit approach. Private credit continues to offer ~200bps of yield premium to leveraged loans. [ 11 ] BMACX was designed to capture this opportunity through Blackstone’s MAC framework, anchored in three core principles:

Diversification Across Asset Classes – Blackstone’s unified and broad credit platform allows BMACX to source opportunities across a wide range of private credit assets that offer spread premium above public markets. [ 11 ] BMACX benefits from diversified credit opportunities as different asset classes offer attributes that can offset and complement each other, resulting in resilient income.
Disciplined Approach – A rigorous, bottom-up underwriting process informed by fundamental, quantitative insights and a single global investment committee ensure consistent risk standards across strategies. This approach has supported stronger risk-adjusted outcomes, with BMACX delivering performance in excess of public fixed income at 1/3 of the volatility. [ 4 ]
Dynamic Allocation – The opportunity set and relative value across the credit landscape shifts over time. We use our monthly Credit Market Forum to determine relative value and is anchored by proprietary insights, data, and portfolio manager contributions from across our credit business to identify asset classes and opportunities for BMACX.

Our position as the world’s largest alternative asset manager, [ 12 ] combined with the breadth and depth of our credit platform, allow us to see trends earlier, and accordingly inform our investment and asset allocation decisions for BMACX. This includes Blackstone Credit and Insurance’s $3.5B marquee financing transaction for EQT, [ 13 ] one of the largest natural gas production and infrastructure companies in Northern America, where Blackstone’s scale, underwriting expertise, and flexibility enabled differentiated access to a portfolio of mission critical assets with stable cash flow.  

Looking Ahead
We enter 2026 with optimism – supported by healthy credit fundamentals and growing demand for capital across the real economy. By leveraging the capabilities and expertise across the full breadth of Blackstone’s credit platform, we believe we are well-positioned as BMACX continues its ramp phase to broaden across credit assets. Guided by the 3D’s – diversification, disciplined approach and dynamic allocation – BMACX is committed to delivering a differentiated, all-weather solution with resilient, diversified income.

Inception date for Class I shares: May 1, 2025. Inception date for Class I Advisory and Class S shares: July 1, 2025. Inception-to-date (ITD) total return as of December 31, 2025 for Class I Advisory shares: 5.4%. Inception-to-date (ITD) total return as of December 31, 2025 for Class S shares (no/with upfront placement fee): 5.0%/1.4%.Total Net Return is calculated assuming a purchase of common share at the opening on the first day and a sale at closing on the last day of each period reported. Dividends and distributions are assumed for purposes of this calculation to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund’s distribution reinvestment plan. The Adviser waived the management fee in full for the six-month period beginning from the date the Fund completed its first sale of shares in its public offering. Without this waiver, returns would be lower. greater than one year are annualized. All returns shown are derived from unaudited financial information and are net of all BMACX expenses, including general and administrative expenses, transaction related expenses, management fees, incentive fees, and share class specific fees, as applicable, but exclude the impact of early repurchase deductions on the repurchase of shares that have been outstanding for less than one year. Past performance does not predict future returns. There can be no assurance that any Blackstone fund or investment will achieve its objectives or avoid substantial losses. Class S listed as (With Upfront Placement Fee or Brokerage Commissions) reflect the returns after the maximum upfront placement fees. Class S listed as (No Upfront Placement Fee or Brokerage Commissions) exclude upfront placement fees. Class I and Class I Advisory do not have upfront placement fees. The returns have been prepared using unaudited data and valuations of the underlying investments in BMACX’s portfolio, which are estimates of fair value and form the basis for BMACX’s NAV. Valuations based upon unaudited reports from the underlying investments may be subject to later adjustments, may not correspond to realized value and may not accurately reflect the price at which assets could be liquidated.
Distributions reflect quarterly distribution amounts per share of Class I. The Fund also distributed $0.3128 per share for Class I Advisory shares and $0.2837 per share for Class S shares for the fourth quarter. We expect to declare distributions daily and pay regular monthly distributions. Accruals will occur daily, provided, however, that accruals on any non-business day will be effective as of the immediately preceding business day. Fourth quarter distribution per share includes daily accruals from October 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025. Past performance does not predict future returns. Distributions may be funded through sources other than net investment income. See BMACX’s prospectus. Please visit the Shareholders page on BMACX’s website for notices regarding distributions subject to Section 19(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. We cannot guarantee that we will make distributions, and if we do we may fund such distributions from sources other than net investment income, including the sale of assets, borrowings, return of capital, or offering proceeds, and although we generally expect to fund distributions from net investment income, we have not established limits on the amounts we may pay from such sources. As of December 31, 2025, 100% of inception-to-date distributions were funded from net investment income or realized short-term capital gains, rather than a return of capital on a GAAP basis. A return of capital is not paid from tax earnings or profits and will have the effect of reducing the tax basis of a shareholder’s Common Shares, such that when a shareholder sells its Common Shares the sale may be subject to tax, even if the Common Shares are sold for less than the original purchase price. Distributions may also be funded in significant part, directly or indirectly, from temporary waivers or expense reimbursements borne by BMACX’s adviser, Blackstone Private Credit Strategies LLC (the “Adviser”) or its affiliates, that may be subject to reimbursement to the Adviser or its affiliates. The repayment of any amounts owed to our affiliates will reduce future distributions to which you would otherwise be entitled.
