According to reports, The Blackstone Group is finalizing a new $15 billion fund, the largest fund for buyout deals since the financial crisis erupted and one of the largest on record.

For the third quarter of 2010, Total Segment Revenues were $792.2 million, up significantly from $603.8 million for the third quarter of 2009. The improvement was driven by greater Investment Income derived from an increase in the carrying value of the underlying portfolio investments in the Private Equity and Real Estate segments, and by increases in Performance Fees and Allocations in the Real Estate and Credit and Marketable Alternatives segments. These increases were partially offset by decreased fees earned in the Financial Advisory segment.

BX seeks to create positive economic impact and long-term value for its investors, the companies it invests in, the companies it advises and the broader global economy. The firm accomplishes this through the commitment of its extraordinary people and flexible capital. Blackstone’s alternative asset management businesses include the management of private equity funds, real estate funds, funds of hedge funds, credit-oriented funds and closed-end mutual funds. The Blackstone Group also provides various financial advisory services, including financial and strategic advisory, restructuring and reorganization advisory and fund placement services.

The purpose of diversification is to protect the total portfolio against fluctuations in the value of any one asset or type of asset. Gold does exactly that.
