Finding Opportunities in Moments of Uncertainty with Blackstone’s Lionel Assant

LionTree’s Louis Kenna is joined in the company’s UK office by Lionel Assant, Global Co-Chief Investment Officer of Blackstone. Lionel came to Blackstone in 2003, four years prior to the firm going public; in that time, their AUM has risen from ~$27 Billion to around $1.1 Trillion. Executing on 70 plus strategies across four divisions, Lionel details how Blackstone’s scale enables them to make bold investments, and, via their long-standing involvement with Impetus, to apply time-tested Private Equity methodology to effect social good.
