「黑石集團擴張私募市場的未來計劃」



黑石集團的私募市場擴張可能在2024年收購潮後仍未結束

紐約(路透社)——黑石集團(BlackRock)在2024年的一系列收購活動可能不會就此結束,這家全球最大的資產管理公司預計將繼續有策略地尋找機會,進一步擴展在私募信貸、房地產、基建或可能的私募股權領域的業務。

黑石集團上週宣布計劃以約120億美元收購私募信貸公司HPS Investment Partners,該交易將使兩家公司能夠提供私募和公開市場投資產品的整合。這是黑石集團今年進行的第三宗重大收購。

展望未來,根據財務來源和分析師的說法,黑石集團可能透過進一步收購來加強其在私募市場的存在。潛在的收購目標可能包括擴展私募信貸或增強私募股權,以便更好地與更大的替代投資者競爭。

「他們會考慮所有的可能性,」Jefferies的分析師丹尼爾·范農(Daniel Fannon)表示,「他們正在市場上尋找合適的合作夥伴和相關的資產類別。」

黑石集團在2024年大約花費280億美元來加強其私募市場的產品,這一策略被首席執行官拉里·芬克(Larry Fink)視為在政府預算收緊和公共債務上升的背景下,將公司定位為將私募資本引入全球基建項目的關鍵。

私募信貸是指非銀行機構向公司提供貸款,近年來由於對傳統銀行在資助高風險貸款方面的規範加嚴,該市場經歷了顯著增長。

在10月份,黑石集團完成了對投資公司Global Infrastructure Partners的125億美元收購,並預計在年底前完成對私募市場數據提供商Preqin的32億美元收購。

HPS交易將創造一個擁有約2200億美元客戶資產的私募信貸業務。競爭對手Ares Management截至9月30日的私募信貸資產管理總額約為3136億美元,而黑石集團的整體信貸業務約為4320億美元,主要集中在私募信貸領域。

根據參與HPS交易的消息來源,黑石集團可能會繼續擴展基建和私募信貸,潛在地針對較小的、互補的收購來增強其產品。

高盛的資深分析師亞歷山大·布洛斯坦(Alexander Blostein)表示:「黑石集團已經明確表達了他們希望在私募信貸和基建領域變得更大的意圖。」

進一步進軍私募資產的計劃也可能包括收購一項資產,以便在商業市場穩定後,讓黑石集團接觸到房地產市場。

截至9月底,黑石集團管理的替代資產(包括私募債務和股權)總額約為3200億美元,這僅佔其11.5萬億美元資產的不到3%。相比之下,黑石集團在低費用產品如指數基金和ETF的持有量則遠遠超過這一數字。

考慮到黑石集團的規模,近期的收購似乎比資產管理更具戰略意義,這暗示著進一步涉足私募市場的可能性,CFRA Research的分析師凱西·塞菲特(Cathy Seifert)表示。

黑石集團的首席財務官馬丁·斯莫爾(Martin Small)在10月的第三季度財報電話會議中表示:「我們一直在考慮有機和無機的投資。」他指出,「無機的收購是我們優化有機增長的一種工具,但我們不需要併購來達到我們的有機增長目標。」

關於私募股權的擴展,知情人士和一位高級投資銀行家表示,黑石集團過去與私募股權公司進行了非正式的對話,但均未進展到初步階段。

該名投資銀行家提到,黑石集團今年的收購相對「機會主義」,這意味著如果條件合適,黑石集團可能很快會尋找新的目標。

不過,私募股權可能不會成為眼前的重點,因為該行業近年來表現艱難。

「這確實是一個更具挑戰性的業務,」晨星的策略師格雷戈里·沃倫(Greggory Warren)表示。

在被問及是否有可能擴展私募股權時,黑石集團首席運營官羅布·戈德斯坦(Rob Goldstein)在紐約的Reuters NEXT會議上表示,該公司已經擁有私募股權的能力。

「就目前而言,我們更關注基建(包括債務和股權)以及私募信貸,這些都是客戶日益關注的領域,」他說。

截至9月底,黑石集團的私募股權團隊管理的資本承諾為420億美元,這一數字低於行業巨頭黑石集團的3450億美元和KKR的1900億美元。

「黑石集團在私募股權上的資產不及黑石和KKR那麼多,但我認為他們更希望填補其他業務的空白,」沃倫說。

通過收購來擴大其二級市場業務將是增加其私募股權曝光度的一種方式,該名高級投資銀行家指出,這是其最活躍的領域之一。

根據黑石集團自己網站的數據,今年的私募股權基金持股交易總量預計將達到創紀錄的1400億美元。

當然,該公司可能需要在今年的收購潮後稍作喘息。

巴克萊的分析師本傑明·布迪什(Benjamin Budish)表示:「我想他們將消化近期的收購,然後重點轉向即將到來的募資、產品創新、銷售和分銷。」

黑石集團投資者Gabelli Funds的投資組合經理麥克·賽克斯(Mac Sykes)認為,HPS交易並不是黑石集團的最後一次收購,但該公司並不急於進行更多交易。

「我認為他們會以高標準進行機會主義的投資。他們是聰明的資本配置者,」賽克斯表示。

在未來,黑石集團的私募市場擴張計劃可能會在2024年的收購潮後繼續進行,這將是市場動態和公司戰略的有趣發展。

Two playful cats, one sleek black and one fluffy ginger, are joyfully interacting on a bustling Hong Kong street at sunset. They leap and tumble among vivid neon signs, glowing red lanterns, and traditional market stalls. The scene is bustling with locals and dotted with elements of Hong Kong architecture, such as narrow alleyways, decorative shopfronts, and overhead laundry lines. Warm golden light reflects off the wet cobblestone street, casting dramatic shadows. The atmosphere is lively yet whimsical, capturing the vibrant urban spirit and blending realistic feline anatomy with a touch of enchanting artistry. Rendered in hyper-detailed, cinematic style with rich colors and dynamic composition. A beautiful young woman in her early twenties from Hong Kong has flawless, fair skin with a subtle glow. She possesses large, clear eyes with soft eyeliner and long, delicate eyelashes. Her nose is straight, and her face is exquisitely heart-shaped. Her lips are naturally pink. She has long, layered, dark brown hair parted in the middle. She wears a loose-fitting light gray and beige striped knit sweater with a waffle pattern and slightly oversized ribbed cuffs. One shoulder of the sweater slips slightly. She pairs this with a burgundy high-waisted quilted mini skirt with a diamond pattern and ruffles at the hem, revealing her long, smooth legs. She strikes a playful pose, her eyes innocent yet subtly alluring. She stands in front of a pristine white studio backdrop, the soft, even lighting creating a natural atmosphere without harsh shadows. This is a high-key portrait; the minimalist background highlights her delicate skin texture, and her sharp, clear eyes, presenting a realistic sense of style. Magazine cover style, shot with an 85mm lens, f/2.0 aperture, soft bokeh, 8K resolution, ultra-realistic, commercial photography. {
