Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman said: “Despite one of the most challenging market backdrops in history, Blackstone delivered for our clients in 2022.

“We protected investor capital by focusing on the right sectors, leading to an additional $226bn of inflows for the year, including $43bn in the fourth quarter.

“Our total assets under management grew to a record $975bn, up 11% year over year.
