I consider The Blackstone Group to be something of a “big bank” and not just for billionaires. :
As the editor of the monthly newsletter The Forbes Real Estate Investor, it’s my job to analyze shares of publicly-traded REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) and a handful of RECO’s (Real Estate Operating Companies). Consequently, I rarely spend time trying to peel back the onion of a large private equity juggernaut, like The Blackstone Group (BX).
