Oversubscribed Fund More than Doubles Capital Raised for Predecessor Vehicle

Blackstone (NYSE: BX) today announced the final close of Blackstone Capital Partners Asia III (“BCP Asia III”) at $13.1 billion, exceeding its $10 billion target and marking the firm’s largest private equity fundraise in the region. The oversubscribed fund reached its hard cap and builds on the strong performance of the strategy’s first two vintages, with this close representing more than double the amount of capital raised for its predecessor vehicle.

Joe Baratta, Global Head of Blackstone Private Equity Strategies, said: “We are grateful for the continued trust of our investors in Blackstone and our leading Asia Private Equity franchise. This successful fundraise reflects the strength of our platform and our ability to perform through cycles. Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing region in the world, presenting compelling opportunities to invest at scale behind our high-conviction themes and deliver for our investors.”

Amit Dixit, Head of Asia for Blackstone Private Equity, said: “For two decades, we have focused on building businesses into market leaders and driving performance for our investors. We believe our differentiation lies in our scale, supported by homegrown teams across the region’s major markets; strong performance; and our control-oriented strategy that enables us to have a hands-on, proactive approach to supporting business transformations. We thank our investors for their support and partnership.”

Neysa, a fast-growing Indian AI cloud platform
TechnoPro, Japan’s leading specialized engineering services provider
JUNO, South Korea’s top hair salon franchise
