Summary of Risk Factors

BXPE is an investment program designed to offer eligible individual investors access to Blackstone’s private equity platform (the “PE Platform”). BXPE will seek to meet its investment objectives by investing primarily in privately negotiated, equity-oriented investments leveraging the talent and investment capabilities of Blackstone’s PE Platform to create an attractive portfolio of alternative investments diversified across geographies and sectors. Investing in our Shares involves a high degree of risk. If we are unable to effectively manage the impact of these risks, we may not meet our investment objectives and, therefore, you should purchase our Shares only if you can afford a complete loss of your investment. You should carefully review the prospectus for a description of the risks associated with an investment in BXPE. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Although the investment professionals of Blackstone have extensive investment experience generally, including extensive experience operating and investing for the PE Platform, BXPE limited operating history. We cannot provide assurance that Blackstone will be able to successfully implement BXPE’s investment strategy, or that investments made by BXPE will generate expected returns.


• This is a “blind pool” offering and thus you will not have the opportunity to evaluate our future investments before we make them.


• We do not intend to list our Shares on any securities exchange, and we do not expect a secondary market in our Shares to develop. In addition, there are limits on the ownership and transferability of our Shares. As such, BXPE can be described as illiquid in nature. Further, the valuation of BXPE’s investments will be difficult, may be based on imperfect information and is subject to inherent uncertainties, and the resulting values may differ from values that would have been determined had a ready market existed for such investments, from values placed on such investments by other investors and from prices at which such investments may ultimately be sold.


• We have implemented a periodic redemption program, but there is no guarantee we will be able to make such redemptions and if we do only a limited number of Shares will be eligible for redemption and redemptions will be subject to available liquidity and other significant restrictions. This means that BXPE will be more illiquid than other investment products or portfolios.


• An investment in our Shares is not suitable for you if you need ready access to the money you invest.


• The purchase and redemption price for our Shares will be based on our net asset value (“NAV”) and are not based on any public trading market. While there will be independent valuations of our direct investments from time to time, the valuation of private equity investments is inherently subjective, and our NAV may not accurately reflect the actual price at which our investments could be liquidated on any given day.


• The acquisition of our investments may be financed in substantial part by borrowing, which increases our exposure to loss. The use of leverage involves a high degree of financial risk and will increase the exposure of the investments to adverse economic factors.


• The private equity industry generally, and BXPE’s investment activities in particular, are affected by general economic and market conditions, such as interest rates, availability and spreads of credit, credit defaults, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, changes in tax, currency control and other applicable laws and regulations, trade barriers, technological developments and national and international political, environmental and socioeconomic circumstances. Identifying, closing and realizing attractive private equity investments that fall within BXPE’s investment mandate is highly competitive and involves a high degree of uncertainty.


• BXPE’s investments may be concentrated at any time in a limited number of industries, geographies or investments, and, as a consequence, may be more substantially affected by the unfavorable performance of even a single investment as compared to a more diversified portfolio. In any event, diversification is not a guarantee of either a return or protection against loss in declining markets. There is no assurance that BXPE will perform well or even return capital; if certain investments perform unfavorably, for BXPE to achieve above-average returns, one or a few of its investments must perform very well. There is no assurance that this will be the case.

BXPE is authorized and supervised by the Luxembourg supervisory authority, the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the “CSSF”). Such authorization does not, however, imply approval by any Luxembourg authority of the contents of the prospectus or of the portfolio of investments held by BXPE. Any representation to the contrary is unauthorized and unlawful.

The words “we”, “us” and “our” refer to BXPE, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including Blackstone Private Equity Strategies Fund SICAV (“BXPE Feeder SICAV”, such term including, unless the context otherwise requires, its sub-funds, and together with its master fund, feeder funds, parallel funds and other related entities), unless the context requires otherwise. Financial information is approximate and as of September 30, 2025.

Conflicts of Interest. There may be occasions when BXPE’s investment manager, and its affiliates will encounter potential conflicts of interest in connection with BXPE’s activities including, without limitation, the allocation of investment opportunities, relationships with Blackstone’s and its affiliates’ investment banking and advisory clients, and the diverse interests of BXPE’s investor group. There can be no assurance that Blackstone will identify, mitigate, or resolve all conflicts of interest in a manner that is favorable to BXPE.

Exchange Currency Risk. BXPE is denominated in U.S. dollars (USD). Shareholders holding Shares with a reporting currency other than USD should acknowledge that they are exposed to fluctuations of the USD foreign exchange rate and/or hedging costs (as applicable), which may lead to variations on the amount to be distributed, and all subscription payments and distributions, as well as returns, will be calculated and reported in the reporting currency of the Class. This risk is not considered in the indicator shown above. Currency fluctuations and expenses related to hedging transactions may negatively impact the returns of BXPE as a whole. Each Class of Shares may differ in overall performance, and certain fees (including, but not limited to, the Management Fee, Performance Participation Allocation and AIFM and Administration Fee) will be calculated in the Reference Currency. BXPE will incur expenses in multiple currencies, meaning that payments may increase or decrease as a result of currency exchange fluctuations.

Highly Competitive Market for Investment Opportunities. The activity of identifying, completing and realizing attractive investments is highly competitive, and involves a high degree of uncertainty. There can be no assurance that BXPE will be able to locate, consummate and exit investments that satisfy its objectives or realize upon their values or that BXPE will be able to fully invest its available capital. There is no guarantee that investment opportunities will be allocated to BXPE and/or that the activities of Blackstone’s other funds will not adversely affect the interests of BXPE.

Lack of Liquidity. There is no current public trading market for the shares, and Blackstone does not expect that such a market will ever develop. Therefore, repurchase of shares by BXPE will likely be the only way for you to dispose of your shares. BXPE expects to offer to repurchase shares at a price equal to the applicable net asset value as of the repurchase date and not based on the price at which you initially purchased your shares. Shares redeemed within two years of the date of issuance will be redeemed at 95% of the applicable net asset value as of the redemption date, unless such deduction is waived by BXPE in its discretion, including without limitation in case of redemptions resulting from death, qualifying disability or divorce. As a result, you may receive less than the price you paid for your shares when you sell them to BXPE pursuant to BXPE’s share repurchase program.

The vast majority of BXPE’s assets are expected to consist of private equity investments and other investments that cannot generally be readily liquidated without impacting BXPE’s ability to realize full value upon their disposition. Therefore, BXPE may not always have a sufficient amount of cash to immediately satisfy redemption requests. As a result, your ability to have your shares redeemed by BXPE may be limited and at times you may not be able to liquidate your investment.

No Assurance of Investment Return. Prospective investors should be aware that an investment in BXPE is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. There can be no assurance that BXPE will achieve comparable results, implement its investment strategy, achieve its objectives or avoid substantial losses or that any expected returns will be met (or that the returns will be commensurate with the risks of investing in the type of transactions described herein). The portfolio companies in which BXPE may invest (directly or indirectly) are speculative investments and will be subject to significant business and financial risks. BXPE’s performance may be volatile. An investment should only be considered by eligible investors who can afford to lose all or a substantial amount of their investment. BXPE’s fees and expenses may offset or exceed its profits.

Recent Market Events Risk. Local, regional, or global events such as war (e.g., Russia/Ukraine), acts of terrorism, public health issues like pandemics or epidemics (e.g., COVID-19), recession, or other economic, political and global macro factors and events could lead to a substantial economic downturn or recession in the U.S. and global economies and have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments. The recovery from such downturns is uncertain and may last for an extended period of time or result in significant volatility, and many of the risks discussed herein associated with an investment in the Fund may be increased.

Reliance on Key Management Personnel. The success of BXPE will depend, in large part, upon the skill and expertise of certain Blackstone professionals. In the event of the death, disability or departure of any key Blackstone professionals, the business and the performance of BXPE may be therefore adversely affected. Some Blackstone professionals may have other responsibilities, including senior management responsibilities, throughout Blackstone and, therefore, conflicts are expected to arise in the allocation of such personnel’s time (including as a result of such personnel deriving financial benefit from these other activities, including fees and performance-based compensation).

Risk of Capital Loss and No Assurance of Investment Return. BXPE offers no capital guarantee. This investment involves a significant risk of capital loss and should only be made if an investor can afford the loss of its entire investment. There are no guarantees or assurances regarding the achievement of investment objectives or performance. This product does not include any protection from future market performance so you could lose some or all of your investment. If we are not able to pay you what is owed, you could lose some or all of your investment. BXPE’s performance may be volatile. An investment should only be considered by sophisticated investors who can afford to lose all or a substantial amount of their investment. BXPE’s fees and expenses may offset or exceed its profits. In considering any investment performance information contained in this website, the prospectus and related materials (“the Materials”), recipients should bear in mind that past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Sustainability Risks. BXPE may be exposed to an environmental, social or governance event or condition that, if it occurs, could have a material adverse effect, actual or potential, on the value of the investments made by BXPE. Blackstone seeks to identify material sustainability risks as part of its investment process.

Sustainability. Sustainability-related initiatives (“Sustainability initiatives”) described in these Materials related to Blackstone’s portfolio, portfolio companies, and investments (collectively, “portfolio companies”) are aspirational and not guarantees or promises that all or any such initiatives will be achieved. Statements about Sustainability initiatives or practices related to portfolio companies do not apply in every instance and depend on factors including, but not limited to, the relevance or implementation status of a Sustainability initiative to or within the portfolio company; the nature and/or extent of investment in, ownership of or, control or influence exercised by Blackstone with respect to the portfolio company; and other factors as determined by investment teams, corporate groups, asset management teams, portfolio operations teams, companies, investments, and/or businesses on a case-by-case basis. In particular, the Sustainability initiatives or practices described in these Materials are less applicable to or not implemented at all with respect to Blackstone’s public markets investing businesses, specifically, Credit and Insurance, Hedge Fund Solutions(BAAM or BXMA) and Harvest. In addition, Blackstone will not pursue Sustainability initiatives for every portfolio company. Where Blackstone pursues Sustainability initiatives for portfolio companies, there is no guarantee that Blackstone will successfully create positive sustainability-related impact while enhancing long-term shareholder value and achieving financial returns. There can be no assurance that any of the Sustainability initiatives described in these Materials will exist in the future, will be completed as expected or at all, or will apply to or be implemented uniformly across Blackstone business units or across all portfolio companies within a particular Blackstone business unit. Blackstone may select or reject portfolio companies or investments on the basis of Sustainability -related investment risks, and this may cause Blackstone’s funds and/or portfolio companies to perform differently relative to other sponsors’ funds and/or portfolio companies which do not consider sustainability-related investment risk and factors at all or which evaluate sustainability-related investment risk and factors in a different manner. The selected investment examples, case studies and/or transaction summaries presented or referred to in these Materials are provided for illustrative purposes only and should not be viewed as representative of the present or future success of Sustainability initiatives implemented by Blackstone or its portfolio companies or of a given type of Sustainability initiatives generally. There can be no assurance that Blackstone’s investment objectives for any Fund will be achieved or that its investment programs will be successful. Past performance does not guarantee future results and does not predict future returns. For the purposes of this document, “material” sustainability-related factors are defined as those sustainability-related factors that the firm determines have—or have the potential to have—a material impact on an investment’s going-forward ability to create, preserve or erode economic value for that organization and its stakeholders. The word “material” as used herein should not necessarily be equated to or taken as a representation about the “materiality” of such sustainability factors under the US federal securities laws, the EU SFDR, or any similar legal or regulatory regime globally. While Blackstone believes sustainability factors can enhance long-term value, Blackstone does not pursue an ESG or sustainability-based investment strategy or limit its investments to those that meet specific sustainability-related criteria or standards, except with respect to products or strategies that are explicitly designated as doing so in their Offering Documents or other applicable governing documents. Any such considerations do not qualify Blackstone’s objectives to maximize risk-adjusted returns. Some, or all, of the Sustainability initiatives described in these materials may not apply to the Fund’s investments and none are binding aspects of the management of the assets of the Fund. The Fund does not promote environmental or social characteristics, nor does it have sustainable investments as its objective. Blackstone [Real Estate] may review this position from time to time. A decision to invest should take into account the objectives and characteristics of the Fund as set out in more detail in the Offering Documents, which can be accessed at www.bxpef.com.

Target Allocations. There can be no assurance that a Fund will achieve its objectives or avoid substantial losses. Allocation strategies and targets depend on a variety of factors, including prevailing market conditions and investment availability. There is no guarantee that such strategies and targets will be achieved and any particular investment may not meet the target criteria.

Case Studies. The selected investment examples, case studies and/or transaction summaries presented or referred to herein may not be representative of all transactions of a given type or of investments generally and are intended to be illustrative of the types of investments that have been made or may be made by BXPE in employing its investment strategies. It should not be assumed that BXPE will make equally successful or comparable investments in the future. Moreover, the actual investments to be made by BXPE or any other future fund will be made under different market conditions from those investments presented or referenced in the Materials and may differ substantially from the investments presented herein as a result of various factors. Prospective investors should also note that the selected investment examples, case studies and/or transaction summaries presented or referred to herein have involved Blackstone professionals who will be involved with the management and operations of BXPE as well as other Blackstone personnel who will not be involved in the management and operations of BXPE. Certain investment examples described herein may be owned by investment vehicles managed by Blackstone and by certain other third-party equity partners, and in connection therewith Blackstone may own less than a majority of the equity securities of such investment.

Logos were selected to illustrate managers and/or portfolio companies that are indicative representations of the thesis, theme or trend discussed on the slide(s) where they appear. In Blackstone’s opinion, the logos selected were generally the most applicable examples of the given thesis, theme or trend discussed on the relevant slide(s).

Important Disclosure Information

Index Comparison. An investment in BXPE is not a direct investment in a private company, and has material differences from a direct investment in private equity, including those related to fees and expenses, liquidity and tax treatment. The volatility and risk profile of the indices presented is likely to be materially different from that of BXPE including those related to fees and expenses, liquidity, safety, and tax features. In addition, the indices employ different guidelines and criteria than BXPE; as a result, the holdings in BXPE may differ significantly from the holdings of the securities that comprise the indices. The indices are not subject to fees or expenses, are meant to illustrate general market performance, and it may not be possible to invest in the indices. The performance of the indices has not been selected to represent an appropriate benchmark to compare to BXPE’s performance, but rather is disclosed to allow for comparison of BXPE’s performance to that of well-known and widely recognized indices. A summary of the investment guidelines for the indices presented are available upon request. In the case of equity indices, performance of the indices reflects the reinvestment of dividends. BXPE does not trade on a national securities exchange, and therefore, is generally illiquid. Your ability to have your Units repurchased through BXPE’s share repurchase plan may be limited and fees associated with the sale of these products can be higher than other asset classes. In some cases, periodic distributions may be subsidized by borrowed funds and include a return of investor principal. This is in contrast to the distributions investors receive from large corporate stocks that trade on national exchanges, which are typically derived solely from earnings. Investors typically seek income from distributions over a period of years. Upon liquidation, return of capital may be more or less than the original investment depending on the value of assets.

No Benchmark. BXPE is not managed in reference to any benchmark index.

Third Party Information. Certain information contained in the Materials has been obtained from sources outside Blackstone, which in certain cases have not been updated through the date hereof. While such information is believed to be reliable for purposes used herein, no representations are made as to the accuracy or completeness thereof and none of Blackstone, its funds, nor any of their affiliates takes any responsibility for, and has not independently verified, any such information.
