Semi-Annual Report (Unaudited)

For the Period Ended September 30, 2020

 

Beginning on January 25, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of the Fund’s shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from the Fund or from your financial intermediary, such as a broker-dealer or bank. Instead, the reports will be made available on the Fund’s website. You will be notified by mail each time a report is available, and you will be provided with a website link to access the report.

If you already have elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. Shareholders who hold accounts directly with the Distributor or the Fund may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from the Fund electronically by calling 1-855-890-7725 to make such arrangements. Shareholders who hold accounts through an investment advisor, bank, or broker-dealer should contact that financial intermediary directly for information on how to receive shareholder reports and other communications electronically.

You may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge. If you hold accounts directly with the Distributor, you can inform the Fund that you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports by calling 1-855-890-7725 to make such arrangements. For shareholders who hold accounts through an investment advisor, bank, or broker-dealer, please contact your financial intermediary directly to inform them that you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports. If your Fund shares are held through a financial intermediary, your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all funds held with that financial intermediary.

Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Prospectus.

Blackstone Alternative Multi-Strategy Fund and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Six-Months Ended September 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

Blackstone Alternative Investment Funds (the “Trust”) is a Massachusetts business trust authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, which may be divided into different series and classes. The Trust is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). During the six-months ended September 30, 2020, the Trust consisted of a single series, Blackstone Alternative Multi-Strategy Fund (the “Fund”). The Fund commenced operations offering Class I Shares on June 16, 2014. The Fund also offers Class D Shares, Class Y Shares and Class R Shares. Class D Shares and Class Y Shares commenced operations on November 17, 2014 and January 28, 2015, respectively. As of September 30, 2020, the Fund had not issued any Class R Shares. The Fund operates as a diversified open-end investment company as defined in the 1940 Act.

The investment adviser of the Fund is Blackstone Alternative Investment Advisors LLC (“BAIA” or the “Investment Adviser”), a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Board of Trustees (the “Board” and each member a “Trustee”) of the Trust supervises the conduct of the Fund’s affairs and has engaged BAIA to manage the Fund’s day-to-day investment activities pursuant to an investment management agreement. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. In pursuing the Fund’s investment objective, the Investment Adviser seeks to maintain an investment portfolio with, on average, lower volatility relative to the broader equity markets. The Investment Adviser seeks to achieve the Fund’s objectives by allocating the Fund’s assets among a variety of non-traditional, or “alternative,” investment strategies. The Investment Adviser determines the allocations of the Fund’s assets and allocates a majority of the Fund’s assets among the sub-advisers (the “Sub-Advisers”) with experience managing alternative investment strategies and among investment funds. The Investment Adviser also manages a portion of the Fund’s assets directly and, from time to time, may instruct Sub-Advisers with respect to particular investments. The Investment Adviser may allocate the Fund’s assets among discretionary and non-discretionary Sub-Advisers. Each discretionary Sub-Adviser is responsible for the day-to-day management of the portion of the Fund’s assets that the Investment Adviser allocates to it. Each non-discretionary Sub-Adviser is responsible for providing the Investment Adviser with a model portfolio for the assets allocated to it to be implemented by the Investment Adviser in its discretion. The Investment Adviser has the ultimate responsibility to oversee each Sub-Adviser (subject to the oversight of the Board). The Adviser also is responsible for recommending the hiring, termination, and replacement of Sub-Advisers.

The Fund’s assets may be invested in three wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries of the Fund (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”), each of which has the same investment objective as the Fund. One of the Fund’s Subsidiaries, Blackstone Alternative Multi-Strategy Sub Fund II Ltd. (the “Cayman Subsidiary”), is a Cayman Islands exempted company. Both of the other Subsidiaries, Blackstone Alternative Multi-Strategy Sub Fund III L.L.C. (the “Domestic Subsidiary III”) and Blackstone Alternative Multi-Strategy Sub Fund IV L.L.C. (the “Domestic Subsidiary IV”), are Delaware limited liability companies. The Cayman Subsidiary invests, directly or indirectly through the use of derivatives, in securities and commodity interests. The Domestic Subsidiary III and the Domestic Subsidiary IV invest, directly or indirectly through the use of derivatives, almost entirely in securities (with only de minimis exposure to commodity interests). The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Fund and the three Subsidiaries. Except where context otherwise requires, the term “Fund” refers to the Fund together with the applicable Subsidiaries.

The Fund and the Cayman Subsidiary are each a commodity pool subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). BAIA, the commodity pool operator of the Fund and the Cayman Subsidiary, is registered as such with the CFTC, but has claimed relief under Rules 4.12(c)(3) and 4.7 under the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”), respectively, from certain disclosure, reporting, and recordkeeping

requirements otherwise applicable to commodity pools. Neither the Domestic Subsidiary III nor the Domestic Subsidiary IV intends to invest more than a de minimis level of its net assets in “commodity interests” (as defined under the CEA). Accordingly, BAIA is relying on CFTC No-Action Letter 12-38 with respect to the Domestic Subsidiary III and has claimed an exemption under Rule 4.13(a)(3) from registration as a commodity pool operator with respect to the Domestic Subsidiary IV.

Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein, shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Prospectus of the Fund.

2. Basis of Presentation

The Fund’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and are stated in U.S. dollars, except as otherwise noted. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and these differences could be material.

The Fund is an investment company in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies (“ASC 946”), which defines investment companies and prescribes specialized accounting and reporting requirements for investment companies.

Consolidation

The Fund consolidates its investment in the Subsidiaries. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements include the assets and liabilities and the results of operations of the Subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

3. Significant Accounting Policies

Valuation Policy

The net asset value (“NAV”) of the Fund’s shares is calculated as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 pm Eastern Time) on each day that the NYSE is open for business (a “Business Day”).

For purposes of calculating the NAV for each class of shares, the Fund values its investments in securities, securities sold short, derivative financial instruments and other investments at fair value. The Board has established procedures for determining the fair value of securities, including securities sold short, derivative financial instruments and other investments (together, the “investments”) (the “Valuation Procedures”). The Board has delegated to the Investment Adviser day-to-day responsibility for implementing the Valuation Procedures. The Investment Adviser’s management has formed the Fair Value Committee (the “FVC”), to which the Board has delegated responsibility for providing oversight of the valuation and pricing function of the Fund for all investments. Pursuant to the Valuation Procedures, if market quotations are not readily available (or are otherwise not reliable for a particular investment), the fair value will be determined by the FVC in good faith, and such determinations will be reported to the Board. Due to the inherent uncertainty, estimates of fair value may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market for these investments existed and the differences could be material.

Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/ask information, or broker-dealer quotations), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of the NYSE, that materially affect the value of the Fund’s investments. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which securities trade do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to the FVC and the Investment Adviser the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Fund’s investments and for determining whether the value of the applicable investments should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events. There were no instances of such determination made during the six-months ended September 30, 2020.

COVID-19 and Global Economic and Market Conditions

The ongoing novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and restrictions on non-essential businesses have caused disruption in the U.S. and global economies. Despite significant market rebounds across many asset classes, the continued rapid development of this situation and uncertainty regarding potential economic recovery precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact of COVID-19 on financial market and economic conditions. The estimates and assumptions underlying these consolidated financial statements and this filing are based on the information available as of September 30, 2020, including judgments about the financial market and economic conditions which may change over time.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability (i.e., the exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for investments categorized in Level 3. The inputs or methodology used for valuing an investment are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following levels within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement:

Level 1 – quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the measurement date. The Fund does not adjust the quoted price for these investments.

The types of investments categorized within Level 1 generally include actively traded domestic and certain foreign equity securities, short-term investments and derivative financial instruments actively traded on recognized exchanges.

Level 2 – quoted prices are available in markets that are not active or model inputs are based on inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date.

 

180


Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

For the Six-Months Ended September 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

The types of investments categorized within Level 2 generally include certain foreign equities; fixed income securities including corporate and convertible bonds, loans, trade claims, sovereign debt obligations, U.S. Treasury obligations, and asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities; over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivative financial instruments such as total return swaps, interest rate swaps, credit default swaps, OTC options; and forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“Forwards”).

Level 3 – pricing inputs are unobservable and include instances where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. Inputs reflect the best estimate of what market participants would use in determining fair value of investments as of the measurement date.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the fair value hierarchy.

Level 3 investments are valued by broker quotes, fair value models, or pricing services that may employ valuation techniques with unobservable inputs. At September 30, 2020, the total fair value of Level 3 investments was $80,816,872. The appropriateness of fair values for these securities are monitored on an ongoing basis, including through backtesting, pricing due diligence, unchanged price review, use of specialists, and consideration of macro security specific events.

Where appropriate, the accounting for Blackstone’s investments incorporates the changes in fair value of those investments as determined under U.S. GAAP. The decrease in Fund investments for the six-months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily from the unrealized depreciation in the fair value of underlying investments driven by the impact of COVID-19. The significant inputs and assumptions required to determine the change in fair value of the investments of the Fund are discussed in more detail below.

A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Fund’s major categories of investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Exchange-Traded Securities

Equity securities, including common stock, listed preferred stock, exchange-traded funds, special purpose acquisition companies, and derivative financial instruments, such as futures contracts and option contracts, that are traded on a recognized securities exchange or on the NASDAQ Global Market System (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the last reported sales price (or the official closing price of certain foreign exchanges) or the NASDAQ official closing price, as applicable. For securities traded on more than one exchange, the last reported sales price on the exchange where the security is primarily traded is used. To the extent these securities and derivative financial instruments are actively traded and adjustments are not applied, they are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

The Fund may use a third-party fair valuation service provider to value foreign equity securities that are primarily traded outside of North America and South America. The third-party fair valuation service provider calculates a factor (“Fair Value Factor”) that is applied to adjust the last price of each such security in the event that there is movement in excess of a specified trigger (“Fair Value Trigger”), as measured by the movement between the prior close and the current close of the U.S. market. Foreign equities for which the last price has been adjusted by such factor will generally be categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. As of September 30, 2020, certain foreign equity securities were classified as Level 2 since a Fair Value Factor was applied to the prices of these securities.

Short-Term Investments

The Fund considers short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less when acquired to be short-term investments. At September 30, 2020, the Fund did not have any investment in Short-Term Investments.

Derivative Financial Instruments

OTC derivative financial instruments, such as Forwards, OTC options contracts, or swap agreements, derive their value from underlying referenced instruments or obligations, indices, reference rates, and other inputs or a combination thereof. These contracts are normally valued by pricing service providers or based on broker-dealer quotations. Depending on the nature of the instruments and the terms of the transaction, the value of OTC derivative financial instruments can be estimated by a pricing service provider using a series of techniques, including industry standard pricing models. The pricing models use inputs that are observed from actively quoted markets such as issuer details, indices, spreads, yield curves, dividends and exchange rates. Derivative financial instruments that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Centrally cleared swaps listed or traded on a multilateral or trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange, are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the clearing exchange. For centrally cleared credit default swaps, the clearing facility requires its members to provide actionable levels across complete term structures. These levels along with external third-party prices are used to produce daily settlement prices. Centrally cleared interest rate swaps are valued using a pricing model that references the underlying rates to produce the daily settlement price. These securities are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Fixed Income Securities

Fixed income securities, including corporate and convertible bonds, U.S. government sponsored agency securities, municipal bonds, U.S. Treasury obligations, foreign debt obligations, and bank debt are normally valued by pricing service providers on the basis of last available bid price or ask price for securities sold short. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing service providers may use broker-dealer quotations, reported trades, or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models to determine the reported price that consider observable inputs. The pricing service providers’ internal models use observable inputs such as issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risks/spreads, default rates and quoted prices for similar assets. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Mortgage-related securities (“MBS”) and asset-backed securities (“ABS”) are usually issued as separate tranches, or classes, of securities within each deal. These securities are also generally valued by pricing service providers that use broker-dealer quotations or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models. The pricing models for these securities usually consider tranche-level attributes, current market data, estimated cash flows and market-based yield spreads for each tranche, and incorporate deal collateral performance, as available. MBS and ABS that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Investments in Investee Funds

The fair value of investments in unaffiliated hedge funds (collectively, the “Investee Funds”) is generally determined using the reported net asset value per share of the Investee Fund, or its equivalent, as a practical expedient for fair value, unless the investment in the Investee Fund is traded on a recognized securities exchange and a quoted price is available as of the measurement date. If the Investee Fund is not traded on an exchange, the Fund may, as a practical expedient, estimate the fair value of an Investee Fund based on the reported net asset value per share or its equivalent if the reported net asset value per share or its equivalent of the Investee Fund is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles applied to investment companies, in accordance with ASC 946.

Securities and Other Investments

Bank Debt

The Fund may invest in bank debt including, for example, corporate loans, trade claims, loan participations, direct debt, revolvers, bank loans, and bridge loans. The Fund invests in loans through novations, assignments, and participation interests. In a novation, the Fund typically assumes all of the rights of a lending institution, including the right to receive payments of principal and interest and other amounts directly from the borrower and to enforce its rights as a lender directly against the borrower. When the Fund takes an assignment of a loan, the Fund acquires some or all of the interest of another lender (or assignee) in the loan. In such cases, the Fund may be required generally to rely upon the assignor to demand payment and enforce rights under the loan. If the Fund acquires a participation in the loan, the Fund purchases an indirect interest in a loan held by a third-party and the Fund typically will have a contractual relationship only with the third-party loan investor, not with the borrower. As a result, the Fund may have the right to receive payments of principal, interest, and any fees to which it is entitled only from the loan investor selling the participation and only upon receipt by such loan investor of such payments from the borrower. In such cases, the Fund assumes the credit risk of both the borrower and the loan investor selling the participation, and the Fund may be unable to realize some or all of the value of its interest in the loan in the event of the insolvency of the third-party. Changes in the financial condition of the borrower or economic conditions or other circumstances may reduce the capacity of the borrower to make principal and interest payments on such instruments and may lead to defaults. Certain types of bank debt may have an associated partially funded or unfunded commitment. The unfunded commitments may or may not be funded by the Fund. At September 30, 2020, the Fund had an outstanding commitment of $48,060 related to held bank debt.

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities

The Fund may invest in MBS (residential and commercial) and other ABS. These securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, commercial mortgage-backed securities, residential mortgage-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations, and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property. MBS and other ABS represent interests in pools of mortgages, loans or other assets. MBS are created from pools of residential or commercial mortgage loans, including loans made by savings and loans institutions, mortgage bankers, commercial banks and others. These securities typically provide a monthly payment that consists of principal and/or interest payments. Interest payments may be determined by fixed or adjustable rates. MBS and ABS are subject to credit, interest rate, valuation liquidity, prepayment and extension risks.

Securities Sold Short

The Fund may sell securities short (a “Short Sale”). A Short Sale is a transaction whereby the Fund sells securities it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market price of those securities, whereby the Fund’s broker will execute a borrow transaction to deliver the securities resulting from the Fund’s Short Sale. The Fund is obligated to repurchase the securities at the market price at the time of replacement. The Fund’s obligations to replace the securities in connection with a Short Sale are secured by collateral.

Upon entering into a Short Sale, the Fund establishes a liability which is recorded as securities sold short in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities to represent securities due under the Short Sale agreement. The Fund is liable to pay any dividends declared and/or interest income earned during the period the Short Sale is open. These dividends and interest are recorded as dividend and interest expense on securities sold short in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income

Investment transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign securities, as of the date notified. Interest income, which includes amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on non-defaulted fixed income securities, is recorded on an accrual basis and is accrued daily. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Foreign income and foreign capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable.

Allocation of Income and Expenses

The Fund uses the adjusted prior day net assets for each class of shares, adjusted for capital activity, to allocate Fund-level income and expenses and unrealized capital gains and losses pro-rata to each class of shares. Class-specific income and expenses are allocated directly to the applicable class.

Cash

At September 30, 2020, the Fund had $1,554,560,446 in domestic cash and $13,454 in foreign cash held at State Street Bank and Trust Company.

Foreign Currency

The functional currency of the Fund is the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing prices of such currencies on each Business Day. Purchases and sales of investments and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions or when accrued. The Fund does not isolate the portion of realized or unrealized gains or losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rate on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in the fair value of the investments. Such gains and losses are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net realized exchange gains or losses on disposition of foreign currencies and currency gains and losses realized between trade and settlement dates on investment transactions. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation of assets and liabilities, other than investments, attributable to foreign currency fluctuations are recorded as net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on foreign currency translations in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Contingencies

Under the Trust’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the “Declaration of Trust”), the Fund’s officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and indemnifications. To date, the Fund has not had claims or losses pursuant to these contracts, although there is no assurance that it will not incur losses in connection with these indemnifications in the future.

Income Taxes

The Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its investment company taxable income and net long-term capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is expected to be required. The Fund plans to file U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns.

For the current open tax years ending on October 31, 2016, October 31, 2017, October 31, 2018 and October 31, 2019, with respect to all major jurisdictions, management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the consolidated financial statements. As a result, no income tax liability or expense, including interest and penalties, has been recorded within these consolidated financial statements.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gains of the Fund, if any, are generally declared and paid in December; however, the Fund may make additional distributions at other times consistent with Rule 19b-1 under the 1940 Act. Dividends and capital gain distributions paid by the Fund will be reinvested in additional Shares (see Note 6) of the Fund or, if elected by the Shareholder, paid in cash.

Segregation and Collateralization

In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and its staff require that the Fund either delivers collateral or segregates assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., futures contracts, forwards, swaps and options written), or transactions considered to reflect borrowings (e.g., reverse repurchase agreements), the Fund will, consistent with SEC rules and/or other guidance issued by the SEC, segregate collateral or designate on its books and records cash or liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, the Fund engaging in such transactions may have requirements to deliver/deposit securities to/with an exchange or broker-dealer as collateral for certain investments to the extent consistent with the 1940 Act and interpretive positions of the SEC and its staff. The Fund may mitigate counterparty risk by procuring collateral and through netting provisions included within an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) entered into between the Fund and each of its respective counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement may contain certain provisions regarding, among other things, the parties’ general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral requirements, events of default and early termination. Certain ISDA Master Agreements, or similar agreements, may allow the Fund to offset certain derivative financial instruments with collateral. At September 30, 2020, the Fund used the gross method of presentation in its consolidated financial statements and did not elect to offset amounts eligible for offset under enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements (“MNA”). The segregated cash balance with counterparties for OTC derivatives disclosed on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities includes amounts for various derivative types which are comingled per the Fund’s ISDA Master Agreements. These amounts are shown gross. The amount of collateral moved to/from applicable counterparties is generally based upon minimum transfer amounts of up to $250,000. Collateral pledged by the Fund is segregated by the Fund’s custodian and identified as such in the Fund’s portfolio. Collateral can be in the form of cash or securities as agreed to by the Fund and the applicable counterparty. Typically, the Fund and counterparties are not permitted to sell, repledge or use the collateral they receive unless explicitly permitted by each respective governing agreement.

The Fund manages counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that the Investment Adviser believes to have the financial resources to honor its obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The agreements entered into by the Fund may contain credit risk related contingent features that may be triggered in certain circumstances to protect either party from a deterioration in creditworthiness of the other. Such circumstances may include a decrease in credit rating or, in the case of the Fund, a decrease in net asset value. If triggered, the Fund or counterparty may be entitled to additional cash margin and/or to terminate the contract. See Note 9 for a further discussion of the risks of the Fund, including credit and counterparty risk.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements

The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Fund sells a security in exchange for cash to a financial institution, the counterparty, with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same or substantially the same security at an agreed upon price and date, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”). The Fund is entitled to receive principal and interest payments, if any, made on the security delivered to the counterparty during the term of the agreement. Cash received in exchange for securities delivered plus accrued interest payments to be made by the Fund to counterparties is reflected as a liability. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market value of the securities purchased with the proceeds from the sale of securities received by the Fund may decline below the price of the securities the Fund is obligated to repurchase. Reverse repurchase agreements also involve credit risk with the counterparty to the extent that the value of securities subject to repurchase exceed the Fund’s liability under the reverse repurchase agreement. Securities subject to repurchase under reverse repurchase agreements, if any, are designated as such in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. Due to the short term nature of the reverse repurchase agreements, face value approximates fair value. As of September 30, 2020, the face value of open reverse repurchase agreements for the Fund was $385,702,982. The weighted average daily balances of reverse repurchase agreements outstanding for the Fund during the six-months ended September 30, 2020 was approximately $615,383,437, at a weighted average weekly interest rate of 1.83%.

An MRA contains provisions for, among other things, initiation, income payments, events of default and maintenance of securities for repurchase agreements. An MRA also permits offsetting with collateral to create one single net payment in the event of default or similar events, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of a counterparty. The Fund may not use reverse repurchase agreements and related collateral governed by an MRA to offset derivatives contracts and related collateral governed by an ISDA (see Note 4) or securities lending agreements and related collateral governed by a securities lending agreement (“SLA”) (see below).

The following tables present the reverse repurchase agreements, which are subject to enforceable MRAs, as well as the collateral delivered related to those reverse repurchase agreements by class of collateral and summarized by the remaining contractual maturity of the transactions.

The loans are collateralized by cash in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned. The market value of securities loaned is determined daily and any additional required collateral is allocated to the Fund on the next Business Day. The initial collateral received by the Fund should have a value of at least 102% of the current value of loaned securities for U.S. securities and at least 105% for all other securities. The risk of borrower default will be borne by the Fund’s agent; the Fund will bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the cash collateral. The advantage of such loans is that the Fund continues to receive income on loaned securities while earning returns on the cash amounts which may be reinvested for the purchase of investments in securities. As of September 30, 2020, there were no securities on loan.

The SLA entered into by the Fund provides the right, in the event of default, for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. Under the agreement, the Fund can reinvest cash collateral.

When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions

The Fund may engage in when-issued or delayed-delivery transactions. The Fund records when-issued or delayed-delivery securities on the trade date and maintains security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.

The Fund may transact in To Be Announced Securities (“TBAs”). As with other delayed-delivery transactions, a seller agrees to issue TBAs at a future date. However, the seller does not specify the particular securities to be delivered. Instead, the Fund agrees to accept any security that meets specified terms such as issuer, interest rate and terms of underlying mortgages. The Fund records TBAs on the trade date utilizing information associated with the specified terms of the transaction as opposed to the specific mortgages. TBAs are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur due to the fact that the actual underlying mortgages received may be less favorable than those anticipated by the Fund.

Restricted Securities

The Fund may purchase securities which are considered restricted. Restricted securities are securities that cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or are subject to contractual restrictions on public sales. Many such restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. The Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Fund cannot demand registration of restricted securities. The Fund’s restricted securities, like other securities, are priced in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. Restricted securities are identified in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

4. Derivative Financial Instruments

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into derivative financial instrument contracts for trading and/or economic hedging purposes to increase the returns of the Fund or to protect against exposure to certain risks such as credit risk, equity risk, interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange risk or other risk (e.g., inflation risk). These contracts may be transacted on a recognized exchange or OTC. The following disclosures contain information on how the Fund uses derivative financial instruments. The derivative financial instruments outstanding as of period end are disclosed in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

The Fund may enter into Forwards to obtain investment exposure, seek to enhance return or hedge or protect its portfolio holdings against the risk of future movements in certain foreign currency exchange rates. Forwards are agreements between two parties to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed upon future date. The market value of a Forward fluctuates with the changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These contracts are valued daily and the change in market value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss on forward foreign currency exchange contracts. When a contract is closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities of the Fund, but it does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although forward foreign currency exchange contracts may limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the currency holdings, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to losses if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of the contracts. The Fund’s maximum potential loss from such contracts is the aggregate face value in U.S. dollars at the time the contract was opened. These contracts involve market and/or credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Futures Contracts

The Fund may enter into futures contracts to maintain investment exposure to a target asset class or to seek to enhance return. The Fund may be subject to fluctuations in equity prices, interest rates, commodity prices and foreign currency exchange rates in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. Futures contracts are standardized agreements to buy or sell a security or deliver a final cash settlement price in connection with an index, interest rate, currency, or other asset. The Fund must deposit an amount (“initial margin”) equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the futures contract. The initial margin may be in the form of cash or securities which is returned when the Fund’s obligations under the contract have been satisfied. If cash is deposited as the initial margin, it is shown as segregated cash balance with broker for futures contracts in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by the Fund depending on whether

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

For the Six-Months Ended September 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contract is closed or expires, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The potential risk to the Fund is that the change in value of futures contracts may not correspond to the change in the value of the hedge investments. In addition, losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instrument, if interest or exchange rates move unexpectedly or if the counterparty is unable to perform. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchanges’ clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.

Options Contracts

The Fund may purchase and write call and put options. An option contract purchased by the Fund gives the Fund the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call) or sell (put) an underlying instrument at a fixed exercise price during a specified period. Call options written by the Fund give the holder the right to buy the underlying instrument from the Fund at a fixed exercise price; put options written by the Fund give the holder the right to sell the underlying instrument to the Fund at a fixed exercise price. The Fund may use options to hedge against changes in values of securities or currencies it owns or expects to own, to gain or to maintain exposure to interest rates, currencies or broad equity markets, to generate additional income or to enhance returns.

Options trading involve certain additional risks. Specific market movements of the option and the instruments underlying the option cannot be predicted. No assurance can be given that a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular option or at any particular time. The Fund might not be able to enter into a closing transaction for the option as a result of an illiquid market for the option. To realize any profit in the case of an option, therefore, the option holder would need to exercise the option and comply with margin requirements for the underlying instrument. A writer could not terminate the obligation until the option expired or the writer was assigned an exercise notice. The purchaser of an option is subject to the risk of losing the entire purchase price of the option. The writer of an option is subject to the risk of loss resulting from the difference between the premium received for the option and the price of the futures contract underlying the option that the writer must purchase or deliver upon exercise of the option. The writer of a naked option may have to purchase the underlying contract in the market for substantially more than the exercise price of the option in order to satisfy his delivery obligations. This could result in a large net loss.

Equity, foreign currency or index options that may be purchased or sold by the Fund may include options not traded on a securities exchange. The risk of nonperformance by the counterparty on such option may be greater and the ability of the Fund to enter into a closing transaction with respect to such option may be less than in the case of an exchange traded option.

The Fund may purchase or write interest rate swaption agreements, which are options to enter into a predefined swap agreement by some specific date in the future. The writer of the swaption becomes the counterparty to the swap if the buyer exercises. The interest rate swaption agreement will specify whether the buyer of the swaption will be a fixed-rate receiver or a fixed-rate payer upon exercise.

Purchases of put and call options are recorded as investments, the value of which are marked-to-market daily. When a purchased option expires without being exercised, the Fund will realize a loss equal to the premium paid. When the Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, the Fund will realize a gain or loss depending on whether the sales proceeds from the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the premium initially paid for the option. When the Fund exercises a put option, it will realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying instrument and the proceeds from such sale will be decreased by the premium originally paid for the put option. When the Fund exercises a call option, the cost of the security which the Fund purchases upon

exercise will be increased by the premium originally paid for the call option. Realized gains and losses on purchased options are included in realized gains and losses on investments.

The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset and an equivalent liability. The liability is marked-to-market daily in accordance with the option’s valuation policy. When a written option expires without being exercised or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was sold) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying instrument and the liability related to such option is eliminated. When a written call option is exercised, the Fund realizes a gain or loss, as adjusted for the premium received, from the sale of the underlying instrument. When a written put option is exercised, the premium received is offset against the amount paid for the purchase of the underlying instrument.

Swap Agreements

The Fund may enter into total return, interest rate, and credit default swap agreements (“Swaps”). Swaps are bilaterally negotiated agreements between the Fund and a counterparty in which the Fund and counterparty agree to make either periodic net payments on a specified notional amount or a net payment upon termination. Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the OTC market or may be executed in a multilateral or other trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange or swap execution facility (“centrally cleared swaps”). The Fund may enter into swap agreements for the purposes of managing exposure to interest rate, credit or market risk, or for other purposes. In connection with these agreements, securities or cash (“segregated cash” or “collateral”) may be paid or received, as applicable, by the Fund as collateral or margin in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency. Securities posted by the Fund as collateral for swaps are identified in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments and segregated cash, if any, is reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Swap transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of interest rate, credit and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform, or that there may be unfavorable changes in market conditions or interest rates. In addition, entering into swap agreements involves documentation risk resulting from the possibility that the parties to a swap agreement may disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreement. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted value of the net cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life, to the extent that amount is positive, or the fair value of the contract. The risk may be mitigated by having an MNA between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.

Interest Rate Swaps: The Fund may enter into OTC and/or centrally cleared interest rate swap contracts to hedge interest rate risk, to gain exposure on interest rates and to hedge prepayment risk. The Fund is subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Fund may hold fixed rate bonds, and the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one party pays a stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating rate, for another party’s stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating, on the same notional amount for a specified period of time. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk, as opposed to investment and other types of risk, in respect of interest rate swaps is typically the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contracts remaining life, to the extent that amount is positive.

Interest rate swaps can be purchased or sold with an upfront premium. An upfront payment received by the Fund is recorded as a liability on the Fund’s Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and an upfront payment made by the Fund is recorded as an asset in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Interest rate swaps are marked-to-market daily and any change is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss on swaps. Daily fluctuations in the value of centrally cleared interest rate swaps are recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin on the Fund’s Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments, including upfront premiums, received or made are recorded as realized gains or losses at the closing of the contract.

Total Return Swaps: The Fund may enter into total return swap agreements to obtain exposure to a security, index, market or other basket of securities without owning such security or investing directly in that security, index, market or other basket of securities or to transfer the risk/return of one market (e.g., fixed income) to another market (e.g., equity) (equity risk and/or interest rate risk). Total return swaps are agreements in which one party agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in market value of the underlying instrument, which may include a specified security, index, basket of securities or securities indices during the specific period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or floating rate or the total return from other underlying assets. To the extent the total return of the instrument underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. Total return swaps can also be structured without an interest payment, so that one party pays the other party if the value of the underlying instrument increases and receives payment from the other party if the value of the underlying asset decreases.

The Fund may utilize total return swaps on baskets of securities (“Basket Swaps”) to a significant extent in order to obtain synthetic exposure to investment strategies. For a Basket Swap, the Fund or a Subsidiary makes payments to a counterparty (at either a fixed or variable rate) in exchange for receiving from the counterparty payments that reflect the return of a “basket” of securities, derivatives, and/or commodity interests identified by the Sub-Adviser (or the Adviser). The Fund may also utilize structured notes (“Basket Notes”) in which the Fund or a Subsidiary purchases a note from an issuer in exchange for receiving from the issuer payments that reflect the return of an account through which the Sub-Adviser (or the Adviser) manages a portfolio reflecting a basket of securities, derivatives, and/or commodity interests. The Sub-Adviser (or the Adviser) will select and manage the securities, derivatives, and/or commodity interests underlying the Basket Swap or the Basket Note in a manner consistent with the Fund’s strategies. The Fund’s investment returns on Basket Swaps or Basket Notes generally will correspond to the Fund’s returns had the Sub-Adviser managed the notional equivalent of the Fund’s assets directly (although returns on Basket Swaps or Basket Notes will be reduced by financing charges and trading costs incurred by the Basket Swap counterparty or Basket Note issuer). The Fund expects to obtain a significant portion of its investment exposure through Basket Swaps and/or Basket Notes.

Credit Default Swaps: The Fund may enter into OTC and/or centrally cleared credit default swap contracts to hedge credit risk, to hedge market risk, or to gain exposure on single-name issuers and/or baskets of securities.

In a credit default swap contract, the protection buyer typically makes an upfront payment and a periodic stream of payments to a counterparty, the protection seller, in exchange for the right to receive a contingent payment upon the occurrence of a credit event on the reference obligation or all other equally ranked obligations of the reference entity. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructurings and obligation acceleration. An upfront payment received by the Fund or made by the Fund is recorded as a liability or asset, respectively, in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Periodic payments received or paid by the Fund are recorded as realized gains or losses. Credit default swap contracts are marked-to-market daily and the change is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss on swaps. Upon

the occurrence of a credit event, the difference between the par value and the market value of the reference obligation, net of any proportional amount of upfront payment, is recorded as a realized gain or loss on swaps.

Interest rate swaps, total return swaps and credit default swaps outstanding at period end are listed at the end of the Fund’s Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

Netting Arrangements

The Fund enters into ISDA Master Agreements that contain MNAs that provide for payment netting and, in the case of default or similar event with respect to the counterparty to the MNA, can provide for netting across transactions. Generally, upon counterparty default, the Fund can terminate all transactions under the MNA and set-off amounts it owes across all transactions under a particular MNA and against collateral under such MNA. The Fund may not use derivatives contracts and related collateral governed by an ISDA to offset

reverse repurchase agreements and related collateral governed by an MRA or securities lending agreements and related collateral governed by an SLA (see Note 3).

The Fund uses master netting arrangements, which allows certain derivative financial instruments and collateral with the same counterparty to be offset to minimize counterparty credit exposure. The following table presents information related to derivative financial instruments and collateral related to securities loaned that are subject to an enforceable MNA and are not offset, as shown in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of September 30, 2020.

Represents unrealized appreciation (depreciation).

Investments in Investee Funds that are measured at fair value using NAV as a practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements.

Investments in Investee Funds that are non-redeemable or subject to other restrictions such as a lockup at the measurement date or have the ability to limit the individual amount of investor redemptions shall be classified as having a redemption restriction.

The following table summarizes investments in Investee Funds, by investment strategy, the unfunded commitment of each strategy (if applicable), and the amount of the investment in Investee Fund that cannot be redeemed because of redemption restrictions put in place by the Investee Fund.

(2) 

Investments are redeemable quarterly upon 30 - 60 days written notice.

 

(3) 

The Event-Driven strategy generally includes Investee Funds that seek returns by investing in strategies including catalyst events, share class arbitrage, share buybacks, post re-organization equity, recapitalizations, spin-offs and stub trades.

 

(4)

Investments are redeemable semi-annually upon 60 - 90 days written notice.

(A) Investments in Investee Funds cannot currently be redeemed and the remaining redemption restriction period is not known. The date the redemption restriction commenced is disclosed.

(B) Investments subject to other restrictions include investments in Investee Funds that are subject to a lockup at the measurement date and/or have the ability to limit the individual amount of investor redemptions. The redemption restriction term is based on the restriction period (or range of restriction periods) for Investee Funds as defined in each respective Investee Fund’s governing legal agreement without consideration of the length of time elapsed from the date of investments in Investee Funds. The Fund’s investment in a particular Investee Fund classified within the strategies above may be comprised of investments with differing liquidity terms or investments that were made at differing points in time.

The Fund recognizes transfers within the fair value hierarchy as of the beginning of the period. Transfers into and out of Level 3 were primarily related to the availability of broker quotations in accordance with valuation methodology.

The changes in investments measured at fair value for which the Fund used Level 3 inputs to determine fair value are as follows:

6. Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares

The Fund currently offers Class D Shares, Class I Shares, Class R Shares and Class Y Shares. During the six-months ended September 30, 2020, only Class D Shares, Class I Shares and Class Y Shares were outstanding.

The Fund’s Class D Shares are offered primarily through broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries with whom the Distributor has an agreement for the use of the Fund in investment products, programs, or accounts such as mutual fund supermarkets or other no transaction fee platforms. The Fund’s Class I Shares are offered to institutional investors and individual investors who are clients of financial intermediaries, broker-dealers, financial institutions or registered investment advisors that have entered into an arrangement approved by the Distributor to provide certain administrative services to investors in the Fund’s Class I Shares. Shareholders of Class I Shares may be subject to additional advisory, administrative, servicing, account-level or other fees in addition to those described in the Fund’s Prospectus, which are paid to financial intermediaries to support the additional services they may provide. The Fund’s Class Y Shares are offered for institutional investors and individuals (including through individual retirement accounts) who purchase directly from the Fund. Class Y Shares may also be offered to employees, officers and directors/ trustees of the Investment Adviser, the Fund or their respective affiliates. In addition, Class Y Shares are offered for institutional investors and individuals who are clients of financial intermediaries, broker-dealers, financial institutions, or registered investment advisors that have entered into an arrangement approved by the Distributor and do not charge a fee to the Fund. The minimum investment in Class D Shares by an investor is $25,000, and the minimum subsequent investment in Class D Shares by an investor is $5,000. The minimum investment in Class I Shares by an investor is $1,000,000, and the minimum subsequent investment in Class I Shares by an investor is $200,000.

7. Investment Adviser Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Pursuant to the investment management agreement between the Investment Adviser and the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, the Fund pays the Investment Adviser a management fee (the “Fund Management Fee”) at an annual rate based on the Fund’s average daily net assets, excluding the net assets of the applicable Subsidiaries. The Fund Management Fee accrues daily in arrears and is paid quarterly. The Investment Adviser receives additional compensation at an annual rate based on each Subsidiary’s average daily net assets for providing management services to the Subsidiaries. For collective net assets of the Fund and the respective Subsidiaries up to $2.5 billion, the Fund Management Fee is calculated at a rate of 1.95% (annualized), and for collective net assets greater than or equal to $2.5 billion, the Fund Management Fee is calculated at a rate of 1.80% (annualized). During the six-months ended September 30, 2020, the Fund paid the Investment Adviser $55,309,624 in management fees. From this amount, the Investment Adviser paid $18,278,140 in sub-advisory fees to non-affiliated Sub-Advisers with respect to the Fund, which amounted to 0.62% (annualized) of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The Investment Advisor paid $932,369 and $468,803 in sub-advisory fees with respect to the Fund to Blackstone Real Estate Special Situations Advisors L.L.C. and GSO / Blackstone Debt Funds Management LLC, respectively, both indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Blackstone and affiliates of the Investment Adviser, which amounted to 0.02% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Sub-Advisory Fees

Pursuant to the sub-advisory agreements between the Investment Adviser and the Sub-Advisers, the Sub-Advisers are compensated for the services they provide to the Fund by the Investment Adviser from the Management Fee received by the Investment Adviser.

Distribution and Service Fees

Pursuant to the amended and restated Distribution and Service Plan, the Fund’s Class D Shares bear distribution and service fees at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund attributable to Class D Shares. Payments of the distribution and service fee may be made without regard to expenses actually incurred. The Distributor may pay all or a portion of the distribution and/or service fee to brokers, dealers, selling agents, other financial institutions, or other industry professionals (collectively, “intermediaries”) for distribution services, sales support services, personal services, and/or the maintenance of shareholder account services provided and related expenses incurred by such intermediaries. The Fund’s Class I Shares, Class Y Shares and Class R Shares are not subject to distribution and service fees.

Expense Limitation and Reimbursement

The Investment Adviser has entered into an Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement with the Fund to limit the amount of Specified Expenses (as defined below) of the Fund to 2.40% per annum of the Fund’s net assets for Class D Shares, Class I Shares and Class Y Shares and 2.55% per annum of the Fund’s net assets for Class R Shares (collectively, the “Total Expense Cap”) (computed and applied on a monthly basis). Specified Expenses include all expenses incurred by the Fund with the exception of (i) distribution or servicing fees, (ii) acquired fund fees and expenses, (iii) brokerage and trading costs, (iv) interest payments (including any interest expenses, commitment fees, or other expenses related to any line of credit of the Fund), (v) taxes, (vi) dividends and interest on short positions, and (vii) extraordinary expenses (in each case as determined in the sole discretion of BAIA) (together, the “Excluded Expenses”).

To the extent the estimated annualized Specified Expenses for any month exceed the Total Expense Cap, the Investment Adviser will waive its fees and/or reimburse the Fund for expenses to the extent necessary to

Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

For the Six-Months Ended September 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

eliminate such excess. The Investment Adviser may discontinue its obligations under the Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement at any time in its sole discretion after August 31, 2022 upon written notice to the Fund. The Fund has agreed to repay the amounts borne by the Investment Adviser under the Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement within the thirty-six month period after the Investment Adviser bears the expense, to the extent the estimated annualized Specified Expenses for a given month are less than the lower of the Total Expense Cap or any expense limitation agreement then in effect with respect to the Fund. The repayment may not raise the level of estimated annualized Specified Expenses in the month of repayment to exceed the Total Expense Cap or any other expense limitation agreement then in effect. During the six-months ended September 30, 2020, there were no repayments or potential repayments to the Investment Adviser.

Related Party Transactions

Blackstone Holdings Finance Co. L.L.C. (“FINCO”), an affiliate of the Fund, pays certain expenses on behalf of the Fund. The Fund reimburses FINCO for such expenses paid on behalf of the Fund. FINCO does not charge any fees for providing such administrative services. At six-months ended September 30, 2020, the Fund does not have an amount payable to FINCO.

The Adviser utilizes technology offered by Arcesium LLC (“Arcesium”) to provide certain middle- and back-office services to the Fund, and the Fund bears the costs for such services. The parent company of a Sub-Adviser owns a controlling, majority interest in Arcesium and the Investment Adviser owns a non-controlling, minority interest in Arcesium.

8. Other Agreements

State Street Bank and Trust Company serves as the administrator, custodian and transfer agent to the Fund. Blackstone Securities Partners L.P., an affiliate of the Investment Adviser, serves as the Fund’s distributor.

9. Financial Instruments and Off-Balance Sheet Risk

Market Risk: In the normal course of business, the Fund invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (credit and counterparty risk). The value of securities held by the Fund may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Fund; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations.

Credit and Counterparty Risk: The Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions may default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Financial assets that potentially expose the Fund to credit and counterparty risk consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Fund manages counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes has the financial resources to honor its obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The Fund’s Investment Adviser attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of its trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of its net exposure to each individual counterparty based on its assessment and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. In order to preserve certain safeguards for non-standard settlement trades, the Fund restricts exposure to credit and counterparty losses by entering into MNAs with counterparties (approved brokers) with whom it undertakes a significant volume of transactions. Collateral requirements may differ by type of derivative or investment, as applicable. Collateral or margin requirements

are set by the broker or exchange clearing house for exchange traded derivatives (e.g., futures contracts and exchange traded options) while collateral terms are contract specific for OTC traded derivatives (e.g., forward foreign currency exchange contracts, swap agreements and OTC options). For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement or similar master agreement, the collateral requirements may be netted across all transactions traded under such agreement and certain counterparties may allow one amount to be posted from one party to the other to collateralize such obligations. The ISDA Master Agreement gives each party to the agreement the right to terminate all transactions traded under such agreement if there is a certain deterioration in the credit quality of the other party. The ISDA Master Agreement gives the Fund the right, upon an event of default by the applicable counterparty or a termination of the agreement, to close out all transactions traded under such agreement and may permit net amounts owed under each transaction to be netted to derive one net amount payable by one party to the other. This right to close out and net payments across all transactions traded under the ISDA Master Agreement could result in a reduction of the Fund’s credit risk to such counterparty equal to any amounts payable by the Fund under the applicable transactions, if any. The enforceability of the right to offset may vary by jurisdiction. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund under derivative financial instrument contracts, if any, will be reported separately in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities pledged as collateral, if any, for the same purpose are noted in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

At September 30, 2020, the Fund had counterparty concentration of credit risk primarily with State Street Bank and Trust Company, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Morgan Stanley Capital Services LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited and Credit Suisse International.

Foreign Investment Risk: The investments by the Fund in foreign securities may involve risks not present in domestic investments. Since securities may be denominated in, require settlement in and pay interest or dividends in foreign currencies, changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of the Fund. Foreign investments may also subject the Fund to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the investments. In addition to the risks described above, risks may arise from forward foreign currency exchange contracts with respect to the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

Liquidity Risk: Some securities held by the Fund, including, but not limited to, restricted, distressed, non-exchange traded, and/or privately placed securities, may be difficult to sell, or illiquid, particularly during times of market turmoil. Investments in Investment Funds are generally illiquid and some Investment Funds may not permit withdrawals or may make in-kind distributions of illiquid securities when the Fund desires to divest. Illiquid securities may be difficult to value. If the Fund is forced to sell an illiquid asset to meet redemption requests or other cash needs, the Fund may be forced to sell at a loss.

Money Market Funds Risk: The investments in money market funds are not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. In addition, money market funds are exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.

Additional risks associated with each type of investment are described within the respective security type notes. The Fund’s Prospectus includes a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Fund.

10. Investment Transactions

The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds of sales of investments in securities (excluding U.S. Treasury Obligations, U.S. Government Sponsored Agency Securities and other short-term debt securities with maturities at the time of acquisition of one year or less (if applicable)), for the six-months ended September 30, 2020 were as follows:

 

Purchases   Sales

11. Income Tax Information

The Fund intends to qualify each tax year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code. The Fund has adopted a tax year-end of October 31, therefore the consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise indicated, reflect tax adjusted balances as of October 31, 2019. The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and all of its net realized short-term and long-term capital gain, if any, after giving effect to any available capital loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Therefore, the Fund makes no provision for U.S. federal income or excise taxes.

The Fund’s policy is to declare and pay distributions from net investment income and from net realized short-term and long-term capital gain, if any, at least annually. All distributions are reinvested in additional shares of the Fund, at net asset value, unless the shareholder elects to receive cash distributions. Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund is subject to authoritative guidance related to the accounting and disclosure of uncertain tax positions under U.S. GAAP. This guidance sets forth a minimum threshold for the financial statement recognition of tax positions taken based on the technical merits of such positions. United States and non-U.S. tax rules (including the interpretation and application of tax laws) are subject to change. The Fund files tax returns and/or adopts certain tax positions in various jurisdictions. Non-U.S. taxes are provided for based on the Fund’s understanding of the prevailing tax rules of the non-U.S. markets in which they invest. Recently enacted tax rules, including interpretations of tax laws (e.g., regulations pertaining to the U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) and proposed legislation currently under consideration in various jurisdictions, including the U.S., might affect the way the Fund and its investors are taxed prospectively and/or retroactively. Prior to the expiration of the relevant statutes of limitations, if any, the Fund is subject to examination by U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. jurisdictions with respect to the tax returns they have filed and the tax positions they have adopted. The Fund’s U.S. federal income tax returns are generally subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years after they were filed. State, local and/or non-U.S. tax returns and/or other filings may be subject to examination for different periods, depending upon the tax rules of each applicable jurisdiction.

As of September 30, 2020, the approximate cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes and gross and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of investments, securities sold short, and derivatives were as follows:

 

Aggregate Cost

 

Gross Unrealized

Appreciation

 

Gross Unrealized

(Depreciation)

 

Net Unrealized

(Depreciation)

$4,066,825,559   $207,267,654   $(588,768,430)   $(381,500,776)

12. Borrowings Under Credit Facility

The Fund has a secured revolving borrowing facility (the “Facility”) with State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Bank”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $500,000,000, subject to a maximum loan value of not more than 25% of the Fund’s NAV (the “Aggregate Commitment Amount”). Borrowings under the Facility are used primarily for bridge financing purposes and are secured by the assets of the Fund. Under the terms of the agreement, the Aggregate Commitment Amount may be terminated or reduced from time to time upon written notice from the Fund to the Bank. Outstanding borrowings bear interest at a rate equal to 1.25% plus the One-Month USD LIBOR Rate per annum (1.40% at September 30, 2020). A commitment fee is charged in the amount of 0.25% per annum as well as an upfront underwriting fee equal to 0.10% of the Commitment Amount per annum. Commitment fees accrued through the end of each calendar quarter are due no later than the 15th day of the immediately succeeding calendar month during the term of the Facility. Accrued interest is due no later than April 8, 2021, the termination date of the Facility at which time the Fund and the Bank can agree to extend the existing agreement. For the six-months ended September 30, 2020, the Fund made no borrowings under the Facility.

13. Subsequent Events

The Investment Adviser has evaluated the impact of subsequent events through the date of financial statement issuance and determined there were no subsequent events outside the normal course of business requiring adjustment to or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

Blackstone Alternative Multi-Strategy Fund and Subsidiaries Shareholder Fee Example (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

Actual Expenses

The actual expense example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of a six month period and held through the six-months ended September 30, 2020. The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The hypothetical expense example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of a six month period. The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of the Fund. The hypothetical amount account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption/exchange fees. You may pay brokerage commissions on your purchases and sales of Class I or Class Y Shares of the Fund, which are not reflected in this example. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The Board held its May, June, August, and September 2020 meetings virtually by video conference due to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic and in reliance on the exemptive order from the SEC issued on March 13, 2020 (subsequently modified and extended on March 25, 2020 and June 19, 2020) providing temporary relief from the in person vote requirements of Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act and in compliance with the conditions therein. The Board noted that BAIA and the Fund additionally relied on an exemptive order from the SEC that permitted the Fund to hire, and make material amendments to sub-advisory agreements with, discretionary or non-discretionary sub-advisers without a shareholder vote, provided that the Board, including a majority of Independent Trustees, approve the new sub-advisers and material amendments, and certain other conditions are met. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their review of the applicable sub-advisory arrangements by their independent legal counsel, and before the meetings, the Board received materials prepared by the Independent Trustees’ independent legal counsel regarding the relevant factors to consider in connection with the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreements between BAIA and each of the Sub-Advisers. The Board requested and evaluated all the information it deemed reasonably necessary under the circumstances in connection with the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreements. Prior to the meetings, the Board had requested and received materials prepared by BAIA relating to each Sub-Adviser.

The information the Board received in connection with the consideration of each Continued Sub-Advisory Agreement for each of the relevant Sub-Advisers generally included, among other things:

 

  (1)

a Manager Investment Review, which covered, among other things, summary information regarding each Sub-Adviser’s investment thesis, strategy, investment process, and portfolio construction; a risk evaluation; an assessment of business infrastructure, valuation, liquidity monitoring, and compliance; and a summary of the key terms of each Continued Sub-Advisory Agreement;

  (2)

a sub-adviser “tear sheet,” which covered in greater detail the performance, returns, and investment exposure of each Sub-Adviser that had, presently or in the past, been allocated Fund assets; and

  (3)

a completed sub-adviser 15(c) questionnaire, which provided each Sub-Adviser’s responses to the Independent Trustees’ request for information and addressed, among other things, general financial information; any material business dealings with Blackstone and the Fund’s service providers; the Sub-Adviser’s business plan for the Fund for the coming year; costs, fees, other benefits, and profitability (where provided); and risk management and regulatory compliance matters.

The information the Board received in connection with the consideration of each proposed New Sub-Advisory Agreement for each of the newly proposed Sub-Advisers generally include, among other things:

 

  (1)

a Manager Investment Review, which covered, among other things, summary information regarding each Sub-Adviser’s investment thesis, strategy, investment process, and portfolio construction; a risk evaluation; an assessment of business infrastructure, valuation, liquidity monitoring, and compliance; and a summary of the key terms of the proposed New Sub-Advisory Agreement;

  (2)

a completed sub-adviser 15(c) questionnaire, which provided each Sub-Adviser’s responses to the to the Independent Trustees’ requests for information and addressed, among other things, general financial information; any material business dealings with Blackstone and the Fund’s service providers; the Sub-Adviser’s business plan for the Fund for the coming year; costs, fees, other benefits, and profitability (where provided); and risk management and regulatory compliance matters; and

  (3)

a copy of the Sub-Adviser’s compliance policies and procedures and code of ethics.

With respect to the Amended and Restated Sub-Advisory Agreements approved in May 2020 for D.E. Shaw, Endeavour, and Luminus, August 2020 for Endeavour, HealthCor, and NWI, and September 2020 for Emso and Endeavour, the Board reviewed the proposed amendments to each sub-advisory agreement and considered the amendments in light of the information provided in connection with the Board’s most recent

Table of Contents

approval of the sub-advisory agreements, which occurred at the Board’s August 13-14, 2019 meeting for D.E. Shaw, and its February 20-21, 2020 meeting for Emso, Endeavour, HealthCor, Luminus, and NWI.

At the meetings, the Board and BAIA discussed the materials that had been provided to the Board, the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreements, and other relevant considerations. Additionally, the Board (and separately, the Independent Trustees) conferred with the Independent Trustees’ independent legal counsel to consider the information provided. In evaluating the Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board took into account the fact that the compensation paid to the Sub-Advisers would be paid by BAIA from the Fund Management Fee it receives from the Fund and would not increase the fees or expenses otherwise incurred by the Fund or its shareholders.

Following this discussion, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the Continued Sub-Advisory Agreements, the New Sub-Advisory Agreements, and the Amended and Restated Sub-Advisory Agreements on the basis of the following factors, among others, for each Sub-Adviser:

Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services

The Board discussed and considered with respect to each Sub-Adviser:

 

  (1)

the Sub-Adviser’s personnel, operations, and, where available, financial condition;

  (2)

the Sub-Adviser’s investment expertise and strengths;

  (3)

the percentage of Fund assets that are or potentially would be allocated to the Sub-Adviser;

  (4)

where applicable, the investment return on other assets that are managed by the Sub-Adviser and related investment risks or the potential investment return and related investment risks and the extent to which these matters might be relevant to the Sub-Adviser’s management of assets of the Fund;

  (5)

the Sub-Adviser’s experience and performance managing hedge funds or other products and the extent to which the Sub-Adviser’s strategy for the Fund would overlap with its strategy for hedge funds or other products;

  (6)

where applicable, the Sub-Adviser’s experience and performance as a Sub-Adviser to the Fund since its inception or otherwise; and

  (7)

the experience and depth of the Sub-Adviser’s portfolio management team in managing hedge funds or other products and its ability to manage risk.

The Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the sub-advisory services to be provided by each Sub-Adviser were appropriate and thus supported a decision to approve or continue the Sub-Advisory Agreements.

Investment Performance of the Sub-Advisers

The Board considered the investment performance of the existing Sub-Advisers. With respect to each Sub-Adviser that previously had been allocated a portion of the Fund’s assets, the Board considered information about the performance record of the Fund’s assets managed by the Sub-Adviser (net of trading expenses but gross of investment management fees and Fund operating expenses over various periods, including in many cases the year-to-date period, recent calendar month and year periods, and the inception-to-date period), all as compared to the investment returns of (i) a custom index defined by BAIA and (ii) in the case of certain Sub-Advisers, the Sub-Adviser’s hedge fund strategy. In addition, for the existing Sub-Advisers, the Board considered information about performance risk measurements of the assets that are managed by the Sub-Adviser, the custom index, and, if applicable, the Sub-Adviser’s hedge fund

strategy, such as annualized return, standard deviation (which is a common measure of volatility), Sharpe ratio, and alpha and beta statistics (where available). On the basis of the Board’s assessment, while recognizing that there can be no assurance of any particular investment outcome, the Board concluded that the investment performance generated by the existing Sub-Advisers was generally satisfactory and that the Sub-Advisers were capable of providing reasonable investment performance to the Fund. It was noted that, because the new Sub-Advisers had not yet been appointed as sub-advisers to the Fund, there was no prior performance to consider with respect to the Fund.

Costs of Services and Profitability

In analyzing the cost of services and profitability of each Sub-Adviser, the Board discussed (i) each Sub-Adviser’s sub-advisory fee (and proposed sub-advisory fee in the case of Bayforest/G10, TrailStone, Jasper and Seiga) for managing the allocated Fund assets, including any fee breakpoints; (ii) each Sub-Adviser’s resources devoted or expected to be devoted to the Fund; and (iii) any information provided in response to inquiries regarding the profitability to each Sub-Adviser from providing sub-advisory services to the Fund. The Board considered the specific resources that each Sub-Adviser devoted or expected to devote to the Fund for investment analysis, risk management, compliance, and order execution, and the extent to which each Sub-Adviser’s investment process is or would be scalable.

The Board noted that the compensation paid to each Sub-Adviser was paid by BAIA, not the Fund, and, accordingly, that the retention of each Sub-Adviser did not increase the fees or expenses otherwise incurred by shareholders of the Fund. It also noted that the terms of each Sub-Adviser’s Sub-Advisory Agreement were the result of separate arm’s-length negotiations between BAIA and the Sub-Adviser. The Board considered information comparing the sub-advisory fees to the fees that each Sub-Adviser charges for providing investment advisory services to certain other clients. The Board also considered information regarding the impact that retaining the Sub-Advisers as sub-advisers to the Fund has or would have on BAIA’s profitability, as well as information about the blended average of all sub-advisory fees that BAIA pays the Sub-Advisers based on allocations of Fund assets among the Sub-Advisers.

The Board concluded that the level of investment sub-advisory fees was appropriate in light of the services to be provided.

Economies of Scale

The Board discussed various financial and economic considerations relating to the arrangement with each Sub-Adviser, including economies of scale and the current and proposed breakpoints in the sub-advisory fees for certain Sub-Advisers. The Board further noted that it would have the opportunity to periodically re-examine whether the Fund had achieved economies of scale, as well as the appropriateness of sub-advisory fees payable to each Sub-Adviser, with respect to different asset sizes of the portfolio, in the future. The Board also noted that although not directly related to the sub-advisory fees payable to the Sub-Advisers, certain Fund expenses were subject to an expense cap, an undertaking by BAIA intended to limit the Fund’s overall expenses at smaller asset levels, although the Fund’s expenses were sufficiently limited at the time of the meetings such that the expense cap did not currently apply.

Other Benefits

The Board discussed other potential benefits that each Sub-Adviser may receive from the Fund, including soft dollar arrangements, receipt of brokerage and research services, and the opportunity to offer additional products and services to the Fund’s shareholders or BAIA. The Board noted that each Sub-Adviser benefited from its relationship with BAIA. The Board concluded that other ancillary or “fall out” benefits derived by

each Sub-Adviser from its relationship with BAIA or the Fund, to the extent such benefits were identifiable or determinable, were reasonable and fair, resulted from the provision of appropriate services to the Fund and its shareholders, and were consistent with industry practice and the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Other Considerations

The Board reviewed and considered certain terms and conditions of each Sub-Adviser’s Sub-Advisory Agreement. After discussion, the Board concluded that the terms of each Sub-Adviser’s Sub-Advisory Agreement were reasonable and fair. It was noted that the Board would have the opportunity to periodically re-examine the terms of each Sub-Adviser’s Sub-Advisory Agreement in the future.

Conclusion

The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the fees payable under each of the Sub-Advisory Agreements were fair and reasonable with respect to the services that each Sub-Adviser provides (or is proposed to provide in the case of Bayforest/G10, TrailStone, Jasper, and Seiga) to the Fund and in light of the other factors described above that the Board deemed relevant. The Board noted that both BAIA and the Board had previously determined, or determined at the meetings, that each Sub-Adviser’s compliance program was reasonably designed to prevent the violation of federal securities laws within the meaning of Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act and that each Sub-Adviser’s code of ethics was reasonably designed to prevent “access persons” (as defined in Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act) from engaging in any act, practice, or course of business prohibited by Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act. The Board based its approval or continuation of each Sub-Adviser’s Sub-Advisory Agreement on a comprehensive consideration of all relevant information presented to the Board at its meetings throughout the year, as applicable, and not as a result of any single controlling factor. The Board was assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel in approving each Sub-Adviser’s Sub-Advisory Agreement.
