Jon Gray on CNBC

Jon Gray recently sat down with CNBC to discuss the facts on the ground, for both BCRED and private credit markets more broadly.

All data as of October 31, 2025 unless otherwise noted. Past performance does not predict future returns. There can be no assurance that BCRED will achieve its investment objectives or avoid substantial losses. Represents Blackstone Credit & Insurance’s views and beliefs as of the date appearing on this material only, which is subject to change. 

1) Inception date for Class I and Class S shares: January 7, 2021. Inception date for Class D shares: May 1, 2021. Total Net Return is calculated as the change in net asset value (“NAV”) per share during the period, plus distributions per share (assuming dividends and distributions are reinvested) divided by the beginning NAV per share. Returns greater than one year are annualized. Inception-to-date (“ITD”) total return for Class S (no/with upfront placement fee): 9.1%/8.3%. ITD total return for Class D (no/with upfront placement fee): 9.4%/9.0%. All returns shown are derived from unaudited financial information and are net of all BCRED expenses, including general and administrative expenses, transaction-related expenses, management fees, incentive fees, and share class-specific fees, but exclude the impact of early repurchase deductions on the repurchase of shares that have been outstanding for less than one year. Past performance does not predict future returns. Class S and Class D listed as (With Upfront Placement Fee or Brokerage Commissions) reflect the returns after the maximum upfront placement fees. Class S and Class D listed as (No Upfront Placement Fee or Brokerage Commissions) exclude upfront placement fees. Class I does not have upfront placement fees. The returns have been prepared using unaudited data and valuations of the underlying investments in BCRED’s portfolio, which are estimates of fair value and form the basis for BCRED’s NAV. Valuations based upon unaudited reports from the underlying investments may be subject to later adjustments, may not correspond to realized value and may not accurately reflect the price at which assets could be liquidated.

2) Source: Morningstar, BXCI as of October 31, 2025. “Leveraged Loans” is represented by Morningstar LSTA US Leveraged Loan Index. “High Yield Bonds” is represented by the Bloomberg US Corporate High Yield Index. “Investment Grade Bonds” is represented by the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index. There can be no assurances that any of the trends described throughout this letter will continue or will not reverse. Please see “Index Definitions” and “Index Comparison” at the end of this communication for more information.

3) Represents the annualized BCRED distribution rate for 2021, 2023 and current annualized distribution rate as of November 2025. Distribution rate reflects the annualized distribution per share for Class I shares in the specific period divided by beginning of period NAV. For further information regarding distributions please refer to footnote 4.

4) Annualized Distribution Rate reflects November’s distribution annualized and divided by last reported NAV from October. Distributions are not guaranteed. Past performance does not predict future returns. Distributions have been and may in the future be funded through sources other than net investment income. See BCRED’s prospectus. Please visit the Shareholders page on BCRED’s website for notices regarding distributions subject to Section 19(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. We cannot guarantee that we will make distributions, and if we do we may fund such distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, including the sale of assets, borrowings, return of capital, or offering proceeds, and although we generally expect to fund distributions from cash flow from operations, we have not established limits on the amounts we may pay from such sources. As of October 31, 2025, 100% of inception to date distributions were funded from net investment income or realized short-term capital gains, rather than a return of capital. A return of capital (1) is a return of the original amount invested, (2) does not constitute earnings or profits and (3) will have the effect of reducing the basis such that when a shareholder sells its shares the sale may be subject to taxes even if the shares are sold for less than the original purchase price. Distributions may also be funded in significant part, directly or indirectly, from temporary waivers or expense reimbursements borne by the Adviser or its affiliates, that may be subject to reimbursement to the Adviser or its affiliates. The repayment of any amounts owed to our affiliates will reduce future distributions to which you would otherwise be entitled. Annualized Distribution Rate for other share classes is as follows: 8.8% for Class S and 9.4% for Class D.

5) As a percentage of BCRED’s investment portfolio excluding equity investments in joint ventures which have similar portfolio composition and underlying qualities.

6) As of September 30, 2025. Average last-twelve-month (“LTM”) LTM EBITDA includes all private debt investments for which fair value is determined by BCRED’s Board in conjunction with a third-party valuation firm and excludes both asset-based investments and quoted investments. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. For a particular portfolio company, LTM EBITDA is generally defined as net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization over the preceding 12-month period. Amounts are weighted on fair market value of each respective investment. Amounts were derived from the most recently available portfolio company financial statements (which are generally one quarter in arrears), have not been independently verified by BCRED, and may reflect a normalized or adjusted amount. Accordingly, BCRED makes no representation or warranty in respect of this information.

7) As of September 30, 2025. Average loan-to-value represents the net ratio of loan-to-value for each portfolio company, weighted based on the fair value of total applicable private debt investments. Loan-to-value is calculated as the current total net debt through each respective loan tranche divided by the estimated enterprise value of the portfolio company as of the most recently available information. Includes all private debt investments for which fair value is determined by the Board of Trustees in conjunction with a third-party valuation firm and excludes quoted investments and asset-based investments. Amounts are weighted on fair market value of each respective investment. Amounts were derived from the most recently available portfolio company financial statements, have not been independently verified by BCRED, and may reflect a normalized or adjusted amount. Accordingly, BCRED makes no representation or warranty in respect of this information.

8) Reflects sponsor backed or public companies for BCRED’s private debt investments as a percentage of BCRED’s total investment portfolio excluding equity investments in joint ventures which have similar portfolio composition and underlying qualities.

9) Reflects Preqin data as of October 31, 2025, as published on December 5, 2025, based on all funds in the private credit asset class, Blackstone Credit & Insurance analysis of company earnings presentations and calls as of September 30, 2025, and latest publicly available data of Blackstone Credit & Insurance peers.

10) Reflects total investments at fair value as of October 31, 2025.

11) As of September 30, 2025. Calculated as the amortized cost of loans on nonaccrual divided by total amortized cost of the BCRED portfolio excluding investments in joint ventures. Based on the fair market value of the BCRED portfolio excluding investments in joint ventures, BCRED’s non-accrual rate is 0.2%. Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt whether principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Additionally, any original issue discount and market discount are no longer accreted to interest income as of the date the loan is placed on nonaccrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon management’s judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid current and, in management’s judgment, are likely to remain current. Management may make exceptions to this treatment and determine to not place a loan on non-accrual status if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the process of collection.

12) Private Credit Peers is represented by the peer average non-accrual rate at cost of 1.8% as of September 30, 2025 weighted by total NAV. Peer data as of September 30, 2025, except OSCF (as of June 30, 2025). Non-accrual rate is calculated for each BDC as the amortized cost of loans on non-accrual status divided by total amortized cost of the investment portfolio and excludes equity investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and separately managed accounts. Based on the fair market value of Private Credit BDC Peers, excluding equity investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and separately managed accounts, the Private Credit BDC Peers non-accrual rate is 0.8%. Non-accrual status of a given loan is self-reported by each BDC and is intended to indicate when there is reasonable doubt that said loan’s principal or interest will be collected in full. Private Credit Peers include traded and non-traded BDCs. Traded BDCs include BDCs which are externally managed with market capitalizations in excess of $1 billion as of December 31, 2024 (excluding BXSL, which is managed by the same investment adviser as BCRED and has significant overlap in its investments with BCRED): Ares Capital Corporation (ARCC), Bain Capital Specialty Finance, Inc. (BCSF), Barings BDC, Inc. (BBDC), Blue Owl Capital Corporation (OBDC), FS KKR Capital Corp. (FSK), Goldman Sachs BDC, Inc. (GSBD), Golub Capital BDC, Inc. (GBDC), Kayne Anderson BDC, Inc. (KBDC), MidCap Financial Investment Corporation (MFIC), Morgan Stanley Direct Lending Fund (MSDL), New Mountain Finance Corporation (NMFC), Oaktree Specialty Lending Corporation (OCSL), Prospect Capital Corporation (PSEC), and Sixth Street Specialty Lending, Inc. (TSLX). Non-traded BDCs include BDCs which are externally-managed, had effective registration statements as of 2024 and were broadly distributed, have broad exposure across industries in their investments and are not sector-focused, and had net asset values in excess of $2 billion as of December 31, 2024: Apollo Debt Solutions BDC (ADS), Ares Strategic Income Fund (ASIF), Blue Owl Credit Income Corp. (OCIC), Golub Capital Private Credit Fund (GCRED), HPS Corporate Lending Fund (HLEND), and Oaktree Strategic Credit Fund (OSCF).
