Blackstone Credit and Insurance has received approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for its latest private credit investment solution. The newly approved Blackstone Private Multi-Asset Credit and Income Fund (BMACX) is designed to provide investors access to a diversified portfolio spanning private corporate credit, asset-based and real estate credit, structured credit, and liquid credit.
Expanding Private Credit Access for Investors
Blackstone plans to make BMACX available for purchase in Q2 2025, offering a streamlined investment vehicle that taps into the expanding private credit markets.
“BMACX brings the full power of Blackstone’s credit platform to investors in a single fund,” said Gilles Dellaert, Global Head of Blackstone Credit and Insurance. “This multi-asset approach provides a core portfolio-building tool that allows investors to access private credit markets, which we believe offer enhanced yield with lower volatility compared to traditional fixed income.”
The introduction of BMACX marks a strategic expansion of Blackstone’s private credit investment offerings, particularly for individual investors.
Investor-Friendly Structure and Accessibility
According to Heather von Zuben, CEO of BMACX at Blackstone, the new fund features daily subscriptions through an interval fund structure, enabling broader access to diverse credit opportunities. With low investment minimums, Blackstone aims to make private credit markets more accessible to a wider range of investors.
“BMACX is designed to be an efficient entry point into private credit, leveraging Blackstone’s expertise while ensuring flexibility and ease of access for investors,” von Zuben added.
Private Credit Growth Among Leading Financial Institutions
The move aligns with broader industry trends, as major financial institutions increase their focus on private credit.
- In February 2025, J.P. Morgan Chase announced it was allocating an additional $50 billion toward its direct lending initiatives, further solidifying its position in the private credit market. Over the past four years, J.P. Morgan has deployed more than $10 billion across 100+ private credit transactions, working alongside lending partners to allocate an additional $15 billion.
- Similarly, in September 2024, Apollo Global Management and State Street launched a private-public credit exchange-traded fund (ETF), an initiative aimed at expanding retail investor access to alternative asset classes.
As private credit continues to gain traction, Blackstone’s launch of BMACX signals a strategic effort to capitalize on the sector’s rapid growth and increasing investor demand for alternative fixed-income solutions.
