Blackstone is a huge Private Equity fund.
Private Equity… or PIRATE EQUITY?
They manage more than $ 90 Billion. Hopefully they manage that sum well. The company earns managements fees even if the value of assets they manage gos down. Forward P/E ratio is a reasonable 15. Main reasons why I buy BX is the fact the middlemen usually gain even if things go badly, the fact that if things go well they gain even more. Last but not least:
- Huge dividend yield: 8%
- Grrowing dividend yield: last year was just 6%
Growing dividends in a sinking economy looks nice. I bet that Blackstone’s managing fees will go up if the Economy continues it current recovery.
