| (a) |
Pursuant to GAAP
consolidation guidance, the Partnership is required to consolidate
all VIEs in which it has been identified as the primary
beneficiary, including certain CLO vehicles, and other funds in
which a consolidated entity of the Partnership, as the general
partner of the fund, is presumed to have control. While the
Partnership is required to consolidate certain funds, including CLO
vehicles, for GAAP purposes, the Partnership has no ability to
utilize the assets of these funds and there is no recourse to the
Partnership for their liabilities since these are client assets and
liabilities. |
| (b) |
Senior and subordinate
notes issued by CLO vehicles are classified based on the more
observable fair value of CLO assets less (a) the fair value of
any beneficial interests held by Blackstone, and (b) the
carrying value of any beneficial interests that represent
compensation for services. |

| (a) |
Beginning of period 2015
balances have been adjusted to remove investments for which fair
value is based on NAV. Pursuant to amended fair value guidance,
disclosure in the fair value hierarchy is no longer
required. |
| (b) |
Transfers in and out of
Level III financial assets and liabilities were due to changes in
the observability of inputs used in the valuation of such assets
and liabilities. |
| (c) |
Represents
Blackstone’s Treasury Cash Management Strategies and Other
Investments. |
| (d) |
Represents the transfer
into Level III of financial assets and liabilities as a result of
the consolidation of certain fund entities. |
| (e) |
Transfers out due to
amended CLO measurement guidance represents the transfer out of
Level III for liabilities of consolidated CLO vehicles for which
fair value is based on the more observable fair value of CLO
assets. Such liabilities are classified as Level II within the fair
value hierarchy. As the guidance was adopted as of January 1,
2015, there are no transfers for the three months ending
September 30, 2015. |
