Blackstone (NYSE:BX) today reported its fourth quarter and full year 2015 results.

Stephen A. Schwarzman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Despite challenging and volatile markets, Blackstone continues to deliver strong results for our limited partners and unitholders. Our investment funds largely outperformed global markets by a wide margin last year and we remained very active in terms of realizations, returning $43 billion to our fund investors and generating record distributable earnings. We simultaneously deployed $32 billion into new investments, a record pace which accelerated in the fourth quarter given the increasingly attractive investment backdrop. With the industry’s largest pool of dry powder capital of $80 billion, we remain extraordinarily well positioned to move with speed and certainty as investment opportunities arise.”

Blackstone issued a full detailed presentation of its fourth quarter and full year 2015 results, which can be viewed at www.blackstone.com.
