BAAM’s goal is to produce compelling risk-adjusted returns for clients, which are among the world’s leading institutional investors, by constructing and managing highly customized and diversified portfolios of carefully selected hedge funds. With a sharp focus on our clients’ goals, a rigorous due diligence process and access to Blackstone’s global insight, we strive to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns across market cycles, while preserving capital during stressed market environments.*

Global Perspective

Our access to Blackstone’s deep expertise and global perspective provides a well-informed viewpoint on the financial marketplace, and, subject to our strong culture of compliance, we incorporate these insights into the strategies we develop for our clients.

Customized Strategies

BAAM is sharply focused on structuring the right investment solutions for every investor. Often, our investment team will custom-tailor a portfolio designed to meet an investor’s specific risk profile and return objectives. We also play a major role in seeding the development of new hedge funds, helping to launch aspiring entrepreneurs and expanding opportunities for our investors.

Rigorous Due Diligence

To identify and qualify fund managers that meet our high standards for professionalism and integrity, potential managers are carefully vetted according to their investment strategy and risk management practices, as well as their business, financial and legal operations. We use proprietary risk measurement tools, models and analyses as a critical aspect of this process.

Exceptional Access

Because of our strong track record of growth in assets under management and stable relationships with leading institutional investors, BAAM is an attractive source of capital for hedge funds. As a result, we have relationships with many talented hedge fund managers and can offer our clients access to a wide selection of high quality investment vehicles.
