Blackstone Credit & Insurance (BXCI) has been named Private credit manager of the year by Insurance Asset Risk, following a record-breaking 12 months for its European private credit business.

Through 2025, BXCI's private credit team has originated $68Bn in credit assets, making this one of the strongest investment periods in the history of the platform.

The success of the platform follows Blackstone's strategic merger of its credit and insurance platforms into BXCI in January 2024, a move that created a comprehensive solution for the firm's clients across the credit and insurance spectrum.

Meanwhile, the firm's broader credit platform manages approximately $520bn in assets across private corporate credit, liquid corporate credit, infrastructure and asset-based credit, and real estate credit.

This combination of record investment activity, strategic integration, and broad global reach underscores why Blackstone continues to lead the pack in the private credit space.
