Holy Sh*t… Blackstone’s “Safe” Fund Just Lost Money

from Eurodollar University · host Jeff Snider

Blackstone’s $83 billion BCred fund just reported its first monthly loss due to actual credit problems. However, it’s never credit losses that kill you; it’s always the forced selling, the liquidations. Financial crises begin with small credit losses and then snowball into something far greater because the issues here aren’t numbers on a spreadsheet and seemingly reasonable expected loss calculations. This all comes down to trust and information. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Join us for our free webinar Thursday March 26, 2026 at 6pm ET.
