| So you’ve been at this business, correct me but – if I’m wrong, about 10 years, you have a great first-mover advantage, biggest global distribution sales force |
| And that really brings us to performance, where we’re really proud of what we’ve done in sort of the major products in BREIT |
| When you – in terms of our supporting growth successfully, when you hear some of our partners speak on earnings calls about achieving record sales in the life and annuities business and sort of connecting the dots between that and the asset management capabilities we brought to bear |
| One, the fact that we’re not – we’re a non-captive, multi-client model and can serve all the market as a whole outside of the group you mentioned, that’s a competitive advantage |
| So, when you look at warehouses, it was and this is really more on a 10-year basis, seeing the obviously secular tremendous tailwinds around the demand for e-commerce |
| We have an economy that’s obviously running quite strong, nearly full employment, really a high level of confidence both in most of the consumer segment and also among CEOs |
| Private wealth and insurance have been growing strongly, and I think we’ll continue to see momentum on that |
| One is on those big strategic partnerships, we’ve done, I think, a good – very good job serving them |
| And the flip side of that more positively is the portfolio construction in our real estate business, the work that’s been done over 10 years, the focus on, I think the most compelling secular opportunities and areas is – has been fantastic |
| So we’re really proud of that |
| And we think we are the best-positioned firm in the world to attack that |
| The trade-off of some of that portfolio to private credit for excess spreads is a very powerful trend |
| And we think, again, we are very distinctively positioned to deliver on that |
| The performance has been terrific, 15% net of – and then if you look at the portfolio of construction, it’s – the assets are really quite compelling |
| And so that’s a – those are – there are amazing tailwinds in both things long term |
| So, it’s really a wonderful portfolio |
| So that’s a good thing as we move through the next year |
| GIP was a terrific and is a terrific player and competitor with – for we have a lot of respect, and they will continue to be |
| the highest-quality, best-located modern construction and so forth in certain cities |
| We feel that momentum |
| And so if you’re doing that and – with the private credit portion of the portfolio, regardless, I think, of industry growth rates as a whole or the rate environment, that is an incredibly compelling service to offer regardless of where you are in the environment |
| So we really are focused and pleased with the progress |
| We’ve written about how we think BXP will also be a category leader in that segment, but a lot of momentum there |
| We like our position |
| And it’s a very compelling thing for us and for our clients, including in insurance, because we are mainly talking about senior-secured investment-grade quality at scale |
| We see it in our BCRED, our non-traded BDC, raising almost $1 billion a month; the introduction of a new product, BXP, which is off to a great start |
| How should we think about the pace of inflows going forward from here in that permanent capital infrastructure vehicle? Michael Chae Well, it’s been, I would say, a significant success for us |
| It’s who we are and who are as a firm that built what we’ve built organically with a very attractive sort of financial model alongside that |
| We do have, I think, a fast-growing, really distinctive strategy in the risk transfer area |
| And the brand, which you mentioned, I do think that as strong as our brand is in the traditional institutional area, it’s even more differentiated in a channel where brand is even more important |

| It was a challenge in the last quarter |
| When we survey our portfolio company CEOs 2 years ago, something like 94% of CEOs said hiring was a problem |
| We’re obviously seeing a slowdown in many major economies around the world, the UK, Germany, China, Japan, to some degree |
| So I think on all 3 engines, we’ll continue to see them fire |
| That dipped below a majority below 50% for the first time in that time period |
| In data centers I think the idea that the demand for and creation of data globally was exploding sort of with a writhe of intuition around AI that only, I think obviously accelerated even after we, for example, bought QTS |
| And that theme, I think continues even in the face of temporal oversupply in the multifamily portion of housing overall |
| And it’s not talked about as much, but the money supply is steadily decreasing quantitative tightening, probably doesn’t get enough attention, but it’s – not a lot of fanfare, but it’s obviously happening and that has a lagging effect on the real economy |
| And then we had the March regional bank crisis last year |
| But it’s also an economy that we see is decelerating |
| Regional banks still have an important raise on Detra in terms of servicing those sort of local customers and consumers of credit, but they’re constrained in terms of their ability to own the asset |
| There is a cyclicality business |
| I think the cost of capital, with all that I just said, is clearly coming down |
| Now things like the CPI print from 1.5 weeks ago, obviously, even though there might be some noise in that metric, obviously, reflect that the so-called last mile will be hard |
| I would add the most important thing, the fourth thing performance, which obviously had to be over time |
| Many are predicting rates go down |
| The competitive landscape has definitely been intensifying |
| I think on the macro, starting with sort of the big picture, I think we continue to believe we are both on a disinflationary path and a path that is consistent with the soft landing in the economy at large |
| But – however, this brings to question the law of large numbers and size |
| There is also a natural level of redemptions through realizations in a private markets business |
