(Alliance News) - UniCredit Spa announced Wednesday a partnership with Blackstone to distribute the Blackstone Private Equity Strategies Fund to its wealth clients in Italy starting Dec. 3.
BXPE, an actively managed semi-liquid alternative investment fund, offers diversified exposure to Blackstone's private equity platform, including corporate private equity strategies, tactical opportunities, secondary market, life science and growth.
Renato Miraglia, Head of Wealth Management at UniCredit Italy, emphasized how the partnership allows clients to diversify portfolios by accessing investments historically reserved for institutional investors.
Andrea Valeri, president of Blackstone Italia, highlighted the growing interest of Italian individual investors in private equity, while Rashmi Madan, Head of EMEA at Blackstone Private Wealth Solutions, reiterated the commitment to expand institutional investment solutions in Europe.
This collaboration aims to reduce barriers to entry in private equity by offering a flexible structure and attractive returns through a single fund.
