Winners Rationale
“2025 marked a period of significant achievement for Blackstone. The US private equity powerhouse continued to deepen its distribution partnerships throughout the region, securing robust inflows into its top-tier strategies,” said Stanley Li, senior reporter at Asian Private Banker.
“As a pioneer in making institutional-quality private market investments accessible to eligible individual investors, Blackstone delivers innovative solutions across core asset classes — including real estate, private credit, infrastructure, and private equity — tailored to meet the dynamic needs of Asia’s private wealth clientele. These solutions harness Blackstone’s unmatched scale and global platform to capture long-term, transformative trends, including artificial intelligence, the life sciences, and the digital economy.
“Blackstone Private Wealth is one of the most established private wealth coverage teams among alternative asset managers. The firm’s strong Asia bench enabled it to expand its market reach into countries such as Japan and Australia.

For these exceptional accomplishments, Asian Private Banker is delighted to honour Blackstone with the House of the Year – Alternatives award.”
