Hedge Funds historically have shown low correlations to stocks and bonds.

Why hedge fund strategies?

1. Equity market declines were selected by identifying the two most recent instances when the S&P 500 declined by more than 40%. Use of different time periods would yield different results.

2. Alternatives are represented by the HFRI Fund-Weighted Composite Index. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The information provided is for illustrative purposes only and is not meant to represent the per-formance of any particular investment or Blackstone fund. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. Alternatives and equities (S&P 500 Index) have different risk and return profiles. Equities (S&P 500 Index) are subject to market risk or the risk of loss due to adverse company and industry news, or general economic decline. Alternative investments involve special

risks including, but not limited to, liquidity risks, foreign investment risks, higher fees and expenses, regulatory restrictions, and loss of all or a significant portion of the investment, or volatility of returns due to leveraging, short-selling or other speculative practices. An investor should evaluate alter-natives and equities in the context of his or her investment objectives.

3. Performance shown is not representative of BXMIX or the performance of any Blackstone investment. Actual performance results of BXMIX can be seen on the Fund website (www.blackstone.com/bxmix).

4. Full market cycle defined as January 1998 through December 2016. Returns are annualized.

Historically, hedge funds have mitigated downside risk when equity markets declined significantly1,2,3

“Avoiding large drawdown losses is critical to accumulating wealth. An equity portfolio would have taken close to five years to recoup losses following the ’08 global financial crisis. A significant allocation to alternatives could have mitigated the impact for the investor during this time period.”

Hedge funds have captured positive returns when interest rates have risen1,2,3

r e T u r n s o v e r f u l l m a r k e T c y c l e 4

Alternatives2 Barclays AGG 10.0% 6.1%

1. Rising interest rate environments were selected by identifying the two most recent periods of continual interest rate increases. The start of a continual period is defined as the point at which 10-year U.S. Treasury yields begin to rise. The period ends when the Federal Reserve stops increasing the federal funds target rate. Use of different time periods would yield different results.

2. Alternatives are represented by the HFRI Fund-Weighted Composite Index. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The information provided is for illustrative purposes only and is not meant to represent the performance of  any particular investment or Blackstone fund. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. Alternatives and fixed income investments (Barclays Aggregate Bond Index) have different risk and return profiles. Fixed income investments (Barclays Agg) are subject to credit risk, default risk and interest rate risk; when interest rates rise, bond prices fall. Alternative investments involve

special risks including, but not limited to, liquidity risks, foreign investment risks, higher fees and expenses, regulatory restrictions, and loss of all or a significant portion of the investment, or volatility of returns due to leveraging, short-selling or other speculative practices. An investor should evaluate alternatives and fixed income in the context of his or her investment objectives.

3. Performance shown is not representative of BXMIX or the performance of any Blackstone investment. Actual performance results of BXMIX can be seen on the Fund website (www.blackstone.com/bxmix).

4. Full market cycle defined as January 1998 through December 2016. Returns are annualized.

“With the prospect of rising interest rates on the horizon, many investors are looking to replace fixed income exposures with more diversifying allocations. Alternatives seek to provide market upside capture while mitigating downside risk.”

Glossary of Indices Market indices obtained through Bloomberg. Indices are unmanaged, and investors cannot invest in an index. The volatility of the indices presented may be materially different from that of the performance of BXMIX. In addition, the indices employ different investment guidelines and criteria than BXMIX; as a result, the holdings in BXMIX may differ significantly from the securities that comprise the indices. The performance of the indices has not been selected to represent an appropriate benchmark to compare to the performance of BXMIX, but rather is disclosed to allow for comparison of BXMIX’s performance to that of well-known and widely recognized indices. In the case of equity indices, performance of the indices reflects the reinvestment of dividends.

S&P 500 Total Return Index: Market capitalization-weighted index that includes 500 stocks representing all major industries. Returns are denominated in U.S. dollars and include dividends. The Index is a proxy of the performance of the broad U.S. economy through changes in aggregate market value.

Barclays Aggregate Bond Index: Covers the USD-denominated, investment-grade, fixed-rate, taxable bond market of SEC-registered securities. The Index includes government securities, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and corporate securities all with a maturity of greater than one year.

HFRI Fund-Weighted Composite Index: The industry’s most widely used standard benchmark of hedge fund performance globally.

Important Risks: An investment in the Fund should be considered a speculative investment that entails substantial risks; you may lose part or all of your investment, or your investment may not perform as well as other investments. The Fund’s investments involve special risks including, but not limited to, loss of all or a significant portion of the investment due to leveraging, short-selling or other speculative practices, lack of liquidity and volatility of returns. The following is a summary description of certain additional principal risks of investing in the Fund:

Allocation Risk — Blackstone’s judgment about the attractiveness, value or market trends affecting a particular asset class, investment style, subadviser or security may be incorrect and this may have a negative impact upon performance. Derivatives Risk — The use of derivatives involves the risk that their value may not move as expected relative to the value of the relevant underlying assets, rates or indices. Derivatives can be subject to counterparty credit risk and may entail investment exposure greater than their notional amount. Distressed Securities Risk — Investments in securities of business enterprises involved in workouts, liquidations, reorganizations, bankruptcies and similar situations involve a high degree of risk of loss since there is typically substantial uncertainty concerning the outcome of such situations. Event-Driven Trading Risk — Involves the risk that the specific event identified may not occur as anticipated and that this may have a negative impact upon the market price of the securities involved. Foreign Investments/Emerging Markets Risk — Involves special risks caused by foreign political, social and economic factors, including exposure to currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed and less efficient trading markets, political instability and less developed legal and auditing standards. High Portfolio Turnover Risk — Active trading of securities can increase transaction costs (thus lowering performance) and taxable distributions. Model and Technology Risk — Involves the risk that model-based strategies, data gathering systems, order execution and trade allocation systems and risk management systems may not be successful on an ongoing basis or could contains errors, omissions, imperfections or malfunctions. Multi-Manager Risk — Managers may make investment decisions that conflict with each other and as a result, the Fund could incur transaction costs without accomplishing any net investment result.
