Q2 2025 Manager Commentary

August 27, 2025

Blackstone Private Multi-Asset Credit and Income Fund (‘”BMACX” or the “Fund”) was officially launched on May 1, 2025, with the aim of providing individual investors a one-stop solution to access diversified asset classes across Blackstone’s $484B [ 1 ] credit platform. BMACX seeks to deliver excess income with lower volatility than traditional fixed income by focusing on the expanding private credit market and employing  a portfolio construction approach that prioritizes diversification across asset classes. As of June 30, 2025, the Fund has delivered an attractive unannualized inception-to-date total net return of 2.3% for Class I, [ 2 ] outperforming the U.S. Agg Bond Index [ 3 ] total return of 0.8%. The Fund also distributed $0.0870 [ 4 ] per share for Class I shares for the month of June. Following June 30, 2025, BMACX delivered a total net return of 1.0% for the month of July for Class I, bringing unannualized inception-to-date total net return as of July 31, 2025 to 3.3%, [ 2 ] outperforming the U.S. Agg Bond Index [ 3 ] total return of 1.1% for the same period. BMACX also increased its distribution to $0.0961 [ 4 ] per share for Class I shares for the month of July. As a reminder, BMACX’s management fees are waived for the first six months as we focus on continuing to ramp the portfolio.

We see attractive opportunities across credit markets, particularly in private credit, where excess spread relative to public market levels persist. Our confidence to deploy capital into the “good neighborhoods” we favor at Blackstone is supported by the continued solid fundamentals we are seeing in these sectors. With heightened uncertainty and the potential for market volatility, we believe a diversified multi-asset private credit solution offers an enhanced income alternative to traditional fixed income, [ 5 ] with excess yield, lower correlation and lower volatility.

Portfolio Allocations
As of June 30, 2025 [ 9 ]

BMACX Portfolio Allocations: Private Corporate Credit, 63%; Asset Based & Real Estate Credit, 33%; Structured Credit, 4% BMACX Portfolio Allocations: Private Corporate Credit, 63%; Asset Based & Real Estate Credit, 33%; Structured Credit, 4%

Importantly, as the Fund is in ramp phase, we expect the Fund’s holdings across our broad credit strategies to continue to shift as we further broaden the Fund’s exposure:

Private Corporate Credit (63% of the Fund)
This asset class remains a core focus given attractive risk-adjusted returns relative to liquid markets. We continue to see approximately 200bps of excess spread in private corporate credit where our investments also benefit from better documentation and lower LTVs.  In our view, the M&A pipeline is rebuilding and activity is expected to increase in the latter half of the year.
 
Asset Based & Real Estate Credit (33% of the Fund)
Lending against tangible assets offers diversification from corporate credit, particularly during periods of market volatility. We believe the long term drivers of demand for capital in ABF and RE across infrastructure, energy transition, data centers and onshoring are outpacing the capital available in the market at present.  As such, we see a strong forward pipeline of potential opportunities in these high conviction sectors with what we believe offers attractive excess spread. [ 6 ]
 
Structured Credit (4% of the Fund)
As the Fund is in its ramp phase, we expect this strategy to build, further diversifying our exposure to income-producing assets. Notably, structured credit continues to trade wider than traditional liquid markets, providing 100-200bps premium to comparable individual corporate credit risk. 
 
Liquid Credit
While we have no exposure to liquid credit at this time, we are constructive on liquid loans and high yield bonds given what we view as strong technicals and resilient fundamentals. This allocation may be utilized to provide liquidity for the Fund and capture relative value by leveraging our expansive liquid credit platform.

BMACX will continue to build broad exposure as we aim to develop a robust deal pipeline.  We are excited about BMACX’s ability to offer access to the breadth of opportunities we see across our platform to help investors access resilient, diversified income.

Important Disclaimers

All figures as of June 30, 2025, unless otherwise noted. Reflects Blackstone Credit & Insurance’s (“BXCI”) views and beliefs  as of the date of this material only, which is subject to change.  Broad exposure does not ensure a profit nor protect against losses. Although certain loans in which the Fund may invest will be secured by collateral, there can be no assurance that such collateral could be readily liquidated or that the liquidation of such collateral would satisfy the borrower’s obligation in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal. Performance shown reflects total return based on changes in net asset value (NAV) per Common Share and assumes reinvested distributions. The NAV of the Fund per Common Share is determined by dividing the total assets of the Fund (the value of the Fund’s portfolio investments and other assets, less any liabilities), by the total number of common shares of beneficial interest (“Common Shares”) of each share class outstanding, rounded to two decimal places. This is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein, and must be read in conjunction with the prospectus in order to understand fully all of the implications and risks of the offering to which this material relates. Past performance does not predict future returns, and there can be no assurance that any Blackstone fund or investment will achieve its objectives or avoid substantial losses. See “Use of Leverage” in the Important Disclosure Information and Risk Factors for additional information regarding performance. A copy of the prospectus must be made available to you in connection with this offering, and is available at www.bmacx.com.

AUM is estimated and unaudited as of June 30, 2025. AUM is a combined figure inclusive of Blackstone Credit & Insurance “BXCI” and Real Estate Debt businesses. The AUM for Blackstone, Blackstone Credit & Insurance or any specific fund, account or investment strategy presented in this material may differ from any comparable AUM disclosure in other non-public or public sources (including public regulatory filings) due to, among other factors, methods of net asset value and capital commitment reporting, differences in categorizing certain funds and accounts within specific investment strategies and exclusion of certain funds and accounts, or any part of net asset value or capital commitment thereof, from the related AUM calculations. Certain of these differences are in some cases required by applicable regulation. All figures are subject to change.
Commencement of operations date for Class I shares: May 1, 2025. Commencement of operations date for Class I Advisory and Class S shares: July 1, 2025. Total Net Return is calculated as the change in NAV per share during the period, plus distributions per share (assuming dividends and distributions are reinvested) divided by the beginning NAV per share. Returns greater than one year are annualized. Inception-to-date (ITD) total return as of July 31, 2025 for Class I Advisory shares: 1.0%. Inception-to-date (ITD) total return as of July 31, 2025 for Class S shares (no/with upfront placement fee): 1.0%/-2.6%. 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. 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.
“U.S. Agg Bond Index” refers to investment grade bonds and is represented by the total return of the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Please see “Index Definitions” and “Index Comparison” at the end of this communication for more information.
Distributions reflect monthly distribution amounts per share of Class I. The Fund also distributed $0.0961 per share for Class I Advisory shares and $0.0864 per share for Class S shares for the month of July. 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. 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 July 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. 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.
Public or “traditional” fixed income includes, but is not limited to, high yield bonds, investment grade bonds, and leveraged loans.
The pipeline includes potential investments in which BMACX may not or will not participate. BXCI advises many investment funds who are expected to participate alongside BMACX in pipeline investments in which BMACX participates.  There is no guarantee that any or all of these potential investments will be consummated or, if consummated, consummated in the form originally considered by BXCI or that BMACX or any other BXCI fund will participate in the investment.
Net Asset Value is calculated as total assets (e.g., investments at fair market value, cash, trade receivables and other assets) less total liabilities (e.g., drawn leverage, unsettled trade payables and other liabilities) as determined in accordance with US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).
The NAV per share for each class of Common Shares is determined by dividing the value of total assets attributable to the class minus liabilities attributable to the class by the total number of Common Shares outstanding of the class at the date as of which the determination is made. Accruals will occur daily, provided, however, that accruals on any non-business day will be effective as of the immediately preceding business day. See the prospectus for more information. For information on the NAV per share for other classes, see bmacx,com.
There can be no assurance that any Blackstone fund or investment will achieve its objectives or avoid substantial losses.
