In instances of weaker than expected performance, members of the Office of the CIO, including over 20 professionals dedicated to asset management, may work closely with deal teams to review and diligence the source of underperformance, re-underwrite the business, and develop a comprehensive strategy for go-forward management of the position. Blackstone Credit & Insurance’s Asset Management Group, housed within the Office of the CIO, comprises a team of functionally-oriented professionals focused on three verticals: Financial Solutions, Operational Asset Management, and Legal / Restructuring. Financial Solutions provides detailed financial analysis, re-underwriting capabilities, and support for portfolio companies such as cash flow estimates or other financial management tools, as needed. Operational Asset Management assesses portfolio company processes, management, and operational capabilities to support and drive operational improvements. Operational Asset Management also is responsible for our Value Creation Program, which leverages the scale of the broader Blackstone platform in order to improve operations and profitability at Blackstone Credit & Insurance portfolio companies.

Financial reporting for portfolio companies is reviewed on a daily, weekly and monthly basis by deal teams and members of the Office of the CIO, including the Asset Management Group. Blackstone Credit & Insurance utilizes a series of proprietary portfolio dashboards and automated reports to ensure responsible parties receive detailed information on a timely basis. Each week, all financial reporting results across the portfolio are aggregated and distributed to the portfolio management team for review. Portfolio company performance updates, including recent developments and go-forward action plans for underperforming assets, are reviewed at bi-weekly portfolio screening committee and monthly Watch List Committee meetings, which include members of the Investment Committee. Our formal Watch List, which is managed by the Office of the CIO, is reviewed at monthly Watch List Committee meetings, with interim updates as needed. The Watch List Committee is comprised of members of the Investment Committee and includes investment professionals from both our Liquid Credit and Private Credit businesses. On a quarterly basis, the watch list is also reviewed in depth with Blackstone senior management including President and Chief Operating Officer Jonathan Gray, Chief Financial Officer Michael Chae, and Global Co-Chief Investment Officer Kenneth Caplan.
