BLACKSTONE REAL ESTATE INCOME FUND

Dear BREIF Shareholder,

We are pleased to present this semi-annual shareholder report for Blackstone Real Estate Income Fund (“Feeder Fund I”) and Blackstone Real Estate Income Master Fund and Subsidiary (the “Consolidated Master Fund”). Feeder Fund I, Blackstone Real Estate Income Fund II (“Feeder Fund II”) and the Consolidated Master Fund are collectively referred to as the “Funds” or “BREIF.” This report includes market commentary, performance commentary for the Funds, and the unaudited financial statements for Feeder Fund I and the Consolidated Master Fund.

Market Commentary

During the first half of 2019 (the “Period”), real estate debt markets rebounded from a volatile conclusion to 2018. In the three months ended March 31, 2019 (the “First Quarter”), corporate credit and commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) BBBs’ spreads tightened 133 basis points1 and 113 basis points2, respectively, recovering 63% and 70% from December 31, 2018 to March 31, 2019, respectively. Following the sharp recovery, the CMBS market remained resilient during the three months ended June 30, 2019 (the “Second Quarter”) as it was relatively unmoved by the broader market’s sell-off in May, and high-yield corporate credit widened 73 basis points in May before recovering to end 7 basis points wider3 quarter-over-quarter, or lower by roughly $0.25 after the effect of interest rate hedges. Spread tightening during the Period came largely from the credit curve flattening 94 basis points to 277 basis points and 323 basis points to 208 basis points for on-the-run corporate and CMBS BBB, respectively, retracing the majority of the steepening that the market saw in the fourth quarter of 2018.4

Strength in the First Quarter was supported by limited new issuance ($17 billion of private CMBS, down 16% compared to the same period in 2018), which aided already positive supply technicals in CMBS, helping push credit spreads tighter.5 Similarly, in corporate credit, term loan issuance was down 33%5 and high-yield bond inflows totaled $12.0 billion5, creating supportive supply/demand technicals that reinforced the market’s bullish tone. During the Second Quarter, CMBS spreads were resilient despite the increase in private label CMBS issuance of 29% quarter-over-quarter and 5% year-over-year to $27 billion, the highest level since 2017.5 New issuance in the non-qualified residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) market almost doubled during the Second Quarter, increasing to $5.6 billion from $3.0 billion in the First Quarter,6 which drove spreads wider by 35 basis points7 as the market digested the increased supply. Strong commercial real estate fundamentals complemented by lower interest rates continue to push valuations higher, with property prices up 3.9% since year end 2018.8

Performance Drivers

BREIF’s investments in fixed-rate, post-crisis conduit bonds, corporate debt and CMBX12 provided the highest positive returns during the Period as spreads recovered from the volatility during year end 2018. Also contributing to positive performance was non-guaranteed Agency CMBS, which realized a gain in connection with an underlying loan payoff. Partially offsetting this outperformance was RMBS issued after the financial crisis where there was an increase in issuance that pushed spreads marginally wider.

Portfolio Positioning

Just as volatility in the fourth quarter of 2018 created favorable opportunities to deploy capital, the Funds had the opportunity in the Period to selectively prune investments across sectors that have outperformed over the past 1-2 years in favor of adding more defensive coupon-oriented securities. Specifically, we reduced the Funds’ exposure to CMBX by $79 million (down to 5% from 10% of total assets) and corporate debt by $58 million (down to 18% from 20% of total assets). The Funds rotated into Agency CMBS (purchased $78 million), which are high-carry idiosyncratic securities that have typically exhibited less volatility to broader market shocks. Additionally, the Funds purchased $45 million of RMBS as increased supply created an opportunity to buy securities at more attractive spreads. The Funds also added $26 million of investment-grade CMBS securities as we continue to expect technicals to create strong tailwinds for the securities over the medium-to-long term. Overall, we remain focused on opportunistically adding to high-conviction investments that benefit from differentiated real estate fundamentals and offer attractive income profiles relative to their exposure to market risk. We expect that our flexibility to trade across liquid real estate debt asset classes will enable us to capitalize on relative value propositions.

 

11 

Total return is calculated assuming a purchase of common shares at the opening on the first day and a repurchase at closing on the last day of each period reported. Dividends and distributions are assumed for purposes of this calculation to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Funds’ dividend reinvestment plan. Total returns do not reflect brokerage commissions or early repurchase reductions, if any. Total return is annualized for periods of more than one year but is not annualized for periods of less than one year.

12 

CMBX is an index designed to reflect the creditworthiness of CMBS. CMBX is made up of 25 equally weighted tranches of CMBS reference obligations, each with different credit ratings.

For the Six-Months Ended June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

Blackstone Real Estate Income Fund (the “Feeder Fund I”), a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), is a continuously offered non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Feeder Fund I commenced investment operations on April 1, 2014. The Feeder Fund I’s investment objective is to seek long-term total return, with an emphasis on current income, by primarily investing in a broad range of real estate-related debt investments. The Feeder Fund I pursues its investment objective by investing substantially all of its assets in Blackstone Real Estate Income Master Fund (the “Master Fund”), a Delaware statutory trust registered under the 1940 Act as a closed-end management investment company with the same investment objective and substantially the same investment policies as the Feeder Fund I. The Master Fund consolidates a wholly-owned subsidiary, Blackstone Real Estate Income Master Fund (Cayman) Ltd. (the “Subsidiary” and together with the Master Fund, the “Consolidated Master Fund”).

The investment manager of the Consolidated Master Fund and the Feeder Fund I is Blackstone Real Estate Income Advisors L.L.C. (the “Investment Manager”), an investment advisor registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Board of Trustees (the “Board” and each member thereof, a “Trustee”) of the Consolidated Master Fund and the Feeder Fund I supervises the conduct of the Consolidated Master Fund’s and the Feeder Fund I’s affairs and, pursuant to their investment management agreements, has engaged the Investment Manager to manage the Consolidated Master Fund’s and the Feeder Fund I’s day-to-day investment activities and operations.

The Consolidated Master Fund’s financial statements, which are attached hereto, are an integral part of these financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Feeder Fund I’s financial statements. At June 30, 2019, Feeder Fund I held an approximately 73% ownership interest in the Consolidated Master Fund.

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

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Feeder Fund I is an investment company in accordance with Accounting Standards Codifications 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies, which defines investment companies and prescribes specialized accounting and reporting requirements for investment companies.

The Feeder Fund I’s 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, unless otherwise noted.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Investment Manager to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The Investment Manager believes that the estimates utilized in preparing the financial statements are reasonable and prudent; however, actual results may differ from these estimates.

Investment in Consolidated Master Fund and Fair Value Measurement

The Feeder Fund I’s investment in the Consolidated Master Fund is recorded at fair value and is based upon the Feeder Fund I’s percentage ownership of the net assets of the Consolidated Master Fund. The

performance of the Feeder Fund I is directly affected by the performance of the Consolidated Master Fund. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Master Fund’s Financial Statements for the determination of fair value of the Consolidated Master Fund’s investments.

Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income and Expense

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. The Feeder Fund I’s net investment income or loss consists of the Feeder Fund I’s pro rata share of the net investment income or loss of the Consolidated Master Fund, less all expenses of the Feeder Fund I. Realized and unrealized gains and losses from sale of investments consist of the Feeder Fund I’s pro rata share of the Consolidated Master Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses.

Cash

As of June 30, 2019, the Feeder Fund I held $2,005,191 at a major U.S. bank.

Contingencies

Under the Feeder Fund I’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the “Declaration of Trust”), the Feeder Fund I’s officers and each Trustee are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Feeder Fund I. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Feeder Fund I may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and indemnification obligations and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Income Taxes

The Feeder Fund I’s policy is to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its investment company net taxable investment income and net capital gain realized on investments to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Feeder Fund I plans to file U.S. Federal and various state and local tax returns.

For the open tax years and all major jurisdictions, management of the Feeder Fund I has concluded that there are no uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the consolidated financial statements. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Feeder Fund I’s filed U.S. federal tax returns remains open for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 through December 31, 2018.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Dividends from net investment income are expected to be declared and paid quarterly. Distributions from capital gains are expected to be declared and paid at least annually. Dividends and capital gain distributions paid by the Feeder Fund I will be reinvested in additional common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.001 per share, of the Feeder Fund I (“Shares”), unless a shareholder elects not to reinvest in Shares or is otherwise ineligible. Shares purchased by reinvestment are issued at their net asset value on the next valuation date following the ex-dividend date.

3. Fund Terms

Issuance of Shares

The Feeder Fund I offers its Shares on a best efforts basis pursuant to a continuous offering registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Feeder Fund I will issue Shares to eligible investors as of the

For the Six-Months Ended June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)

 

first business day of the month or at such other times as determined by the Board upon receipt and acceptance of an initial or additional application for Shares. The Feeder Fund I reserves the right to reject any applications for subscriptions of Shares. Shares are subject to a maximum sales load of up to 3.00%. No public market exists for the Shares, and none is expected to develop. The Shares are subject to restrictions on transferability and resale and may not be transferred or resold except as permitted under the Feeder Fund I’s Declaration of Trust.

Repurchase of Shares

The Feeder Fund I may, from time to time, offer to repurchase a portion of its outstanding Shares pursuant to written tenders by shareholders. Repurchases will be made only at such times and on such terms as may be determined by the Board, in its complete and exclusive discretion. Shareholders who tender Shares within the 12- month period following acquisition will be subject to an early withdrawal fee of 2.00% of the aggregate net asset value of the Shares repurchased by the Feeder Fund I. There were no early withdrawal fees for the Feeder Fund I for the six months ended June 30, 2019. In determining whether the Feeder Fund I should repurchase Shares from shareholders pursuant to written tenders, the Feeder Fund I’s Board will consider the Investment Manager’s recommendations. The Investment Manager expects that generally it will recommend to the Feeder Fund I’s Board that the Feeder Fund I offer to repurchase Shares from shareholders on a quarterly basis. Since the Feeder Fund I’s assets consist primarily of its investment in the Consolidated Master Fund, the ability of the Feeder Fund I to have its Shares in the Consolidated Master Fund repurchased is subject to the Consolidated Master Fund’s repurchase policy.

The timing, terms and conditions of any particular repurchase offer may vary at the sole discretion of the Board. Repurchase offers will generally commence approximately 95 days prior to the last day of March, June, September and December each year (each such last date is referred to as a “Tender Valuation Date”) and remain open for approximately 30 calendar days.

The following table presents the repurchase offers that occurred during the period ended June 30, 2019 :

4. Investment Manager Fees and Other Related Party Transactions

Management Fee

The Consolidated Master Fund pays the Investment Manager an aggregate fixed management fee (the “Management Fee”), payable quarterly in arrears on the last business day of each quarter. The Management Fee accrues monthly at an annual rate of 1.50% of the Consolidated Master Fund’s Managed Assets at the end of such month before giving effect to the Management Fee payment being calculated or any purchases or repurchases of Consolidated Master Fund shares or any distributions by the Consolidated Master Fund. The Management Fee will reduce the net asset value of the Consolidated Master Fund (and indirectly, of the Feeder Fund I ) as of the end of the accounting period in which it is payable and after the calculation of the Management Fee. The Management Fee for any period less than a full quarter will be prorated. Effective October 1, 2014 through December 31, 2019, the Investment Manager agreed to temporarily reduce its Management Fee to an annualized rate of 0.75% of the Consolidated Master Fund’s Managed Assets (“the

Management Fee Waiver”). The Investment Manager may, in its sole discretion and at any time (including prior to December 31, 2019), elect to extend, terminate or modify its voluntary waiver. The Investment Manager will not charge the Feeder Fund I a Management Fee as long as substantially all of the assets of the Feeder Fund I are invested in the Consolidated Master Fund. The Feeder Fund I indirectly bears a pro-rata share of the Consolidated Master Fund’s Management Fee, which was $3,447,892, net of the Management Fee Waiver, for the period ended June 30, 2019.

Incentive Fee

The Consolidated Master Fund accrues a performance-based incentive fee (the “Incentive Fee”) on a monthly basis throughout the fiscal year of the Consolidated Master Fund. The Incentive Fee is paid to the Investment Manager promptly after the end of each fiscal year of the Consolidated Master Fund. The Incentive Fee is determined as of the end of the fiscal year in an amount equal to 15% of the amount by which the Consolidated Master Fund’s Net Capital Appreciation (as defined below) for each Fiscal Period ending within or coterminous with the close of such fiscal year exceeds the balance of the loss carryforward account and any allocated Management Fee expense for such Fiscal Period, without duplication for any Incentive Fees paid during such fiscal year. The Consolidated Master Fund also pays the Investment Manager the Incentive Fee in the event a Fiscal Period is triggered in connection with a repurchase offer by the Consolidated Master Fund. For purposes of calculating the Incentive Fee, “Net Capital Appreciation” means, with respect to any Fiscal Period, the difference, if any, between (x) the sum of (i) the value of the Consolidated Master Fund’s net asset value at the end of that Fiscal Period (prior to the Incentive Fee for such Fiscal Period) increased by the dollar amount of the Consolidated Master Fund’s interests repurchased during the Fiscal Period (excluding repurchases as of the last day of the Fiscal Period after determination of the Incentive Fee), (ii) the amount of any dividends, distributions or withdrawals paid to shareholders during the Fiscal Period and not reinvested in the Consolidated Master Fund (excluding any dividends, distributions or withdrawals to be paid as of the last day of the Fiscal Period), and (iii) the Management Fee expense for that Fiscal Period, and (y) the sum of (i) the value of the Consolidated Master Fund’s net asset value at the beginning of that Fiscal Period (prior to the Management Fee for such Fiscal Period), increased by the dollar amount of the Consolidated Master Fund’s interests issued during the Fiscal Period (excluding any Shares issued in connection with the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions paid by the Consolidated Master Fund) and (ii) the amount of any subscriptions to the Consolidated Master Fund during that Fiscal Period. All calculations of Net Capital Appreciation will be made (without duplication) after deduction of all general, administrative and other operating expenses of the Consolidated Master Fund (excluding the Incentive Fee) and any amounts necessary, in the Investment Manager’s sole discretion, as appropriate reserves for such expenses. The Investment Manager will not charge the Feeder Fund I an Incentive Fee as long as substantially all of the assets of the Feeder Fund I are invested in the Consolidated Master Fund. The Feeder Fund I indirectly bears a pro-rata share of the Consolidated Master Fund’s Incentive Fee, which was $8,604,006 for the period ended June 30, 2019.

Expense Limitation and Reimbursement

The Investment Manager has voluntarily entered into an Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement (the “Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement”) with the Feeder Fund I to limit the amount of the Feeder Fund I’s Specified Expenses (as defined below) to no more than 0.35% per annum of the Feeder Fund I’s net assets (the “Expense Cap”) (computed and applied on a monthly basis). Specified Expenses includes all expenses incurred in the business of the Feeder Fund I and the Feeder Fund I’s pro rata share of the expenses incurred in the business of the Consolidated Master Fund, including organizational costs, with the exception of: (i) the Management Fee, (ii) the Incentive Fee, (iii) the Distribution and Service Fee, (iv) brokerage costs, (v) dividend/interest payments (including any dividend payments, interest expenses, commitment fees, or other expenses related to any leverage incurred by the Feeder Fund I or the

Consolidated Master Fund), (vi) taxes, and (vii) extraordinary expenses (as determined in the sole discretion of the Investment Manager). To the extent that Specified Expenses for the Feeder Fund I (including the Feeder Fund I’s pro rata share of the Consolidated Master Fund’s Specified Expenses) for any month exceed the Expense Cap, the Investment Manager will waive its fees and/or reimburse the Feeder Fund I for expenses to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess. The Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement cannot be terminated prior to December 31, 2019 without the Board’s consent. The Feeder Fund I has agreed to repay the amounts borne by the Investment Manager under the Expense Limitation and Reimbursement Agreement within the three year period after the Investment Manager bears the expense, when and if requested by the Investment Manager, but only if and to the extent that the Specified Expenses of the Feeder Fund I (including the Feeder Fund I’s pro rata share of the Consolidated Master Fund’s Specified Expenses) are less than the lower of the Expense Cap and any expense limitation agreement then in effect with respect to the Specified Expenses. The Investment Manager may recapture a Specified Expense in any year within the three-year period after the Investment Manager bears the expense. The Investment Manager is permitted to receive such repayment from the Feeder Fund I provided that the reimbursement amount does not raise the level of Specified Expenses of the Feeder Fund I (including the Feeder Fund I’s pro rata share of the Consolidated Master Fund’s Specified Expenses) in the month the repayment is being made to a level that exceeds the Expense Cap or any other expense limitation agreement then in effect with respect to the Specified Expenses.

For the period ended June 30, 2019, the recoupments made by the Feeder Fund I to the Investment Manager were $49,292. As of June 30, 2019, the total repayments that may potentially be made by the Feeder Fund I to the Investment Manager was $1,180,292, which $85,661 will expire by December 31, 2019, $407,279 will expire by December 31, 2020, $560,803 will expire by December 31, 2021, and $126,549 will expire by December 31, 2022.

Distribution Agreement and Service Plan

Blackstone Advisory Partners L.P., an affiliate of the Investment Manager, acts as the distributor of the Shares (the “Distributor”). Pursuant to a distribution agreement between the Feeder Fund I and the Distributor, the Feeder Fund I pays the Distributor a fee (the “Distribution and Service Fee”) equal to 0.75% (annualized) of the average net assets of the Feeder Fund I, in accordance with the Feeder Fund I’s Distribution and Service Plan. The Distribution and Service Fee consists of 0.50% for the sale and marketing of the Shares and 0.25% for personal services provided to shareholders and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts and to reimburse the Distributor for related expenses incurred. The Distributor may pay all or a portion of the Distribution and Service Fee to the selling agents that sell Shares. The Feeder Fund I’s Distribution and Service Fees were $1,463,738 and $731,869, respectively, for the period ended June 30, 2019.

5. Administration Agreements

The Consolidated Master Fund and the Feeder Fund I have entered into administration, custody and transfer agency agreements (the “Administration Agreements”) with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”). State Street and/ or its affiliates are responsible for providing administration, custody and transfer agency services for the Consolidated Master Fund and the Feeder Fund I, including, but not limited to: (i) maintaining corporate and financial books and records of the Consolidated Master Fund and the Feeder Fund I, (ii) providing administration services and (iii) performing other accounting and clerical services necessary in connection with the administration of the Consolidated Master Fund and the Feeder Fund I. The services performed by State Street may be completed by one or more of its affiliated companies.

6. Financial Instruments and Off-Balance Sheet Risk

Market Risk: In the normal course of business, the Consolidated Master 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 Consolidated Master Fund may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Consolidated Master 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.

Derivative Risk: The Consolidated Master Fund enters into derivatives transactions which may include, without limitation, options contracts, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, forward contracts, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps and other swap agreements for investment, hedging or leverage purposes. The Consolidated Master Fund’s use of derivative instruments may be speculative and involves investment risks and transaction costs to which the Consolidated Master Fund would not be subject absent the use of these instruments, and the use of derivatives generally involves leverage in the sense that the investment exposure created by the derivatives may be significantly greater than the Consolidated Master Fund’s initial investment in the derivatives. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets and liabilities recorded in the Consolidated Master Fund’s financial statements.

Credit and Counterparty Risk: The Consolidated Master Fund may be exposed to credit risk with respect to the counterparties to its derivatives contracts (whether a clearing corporation in the case of exchange-traded instruments or another third party in the case of OTC instruments) purchased by the Consolidated Master Fund. The Consolidated Master Fund manages counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations. The Investment Manager attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the credit worthiness of its trading partners, (ii) assessing the amount of its exposure to each counterparty as a part of its ongoing risk monitoring process and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions.

Currently, certain categories of interest rate and credit default swaps are subject to mandatory clearing, and more are expected to be cleared in the future. The counterparty risk for cleared derivatives is generally lower than for uncleared OTC derivative transactions because generally a clearing organization becomes substituted for each counterparty to a cleared derivative contract and, in effect, guarantees the parties’ performance under the contract as each party to a trade looks only to the clearing house for performance of financial obligations. However, there can be no assurance that a clearing house, or its members, will satisfy the clearing house’s obligations to the Consolidated Master Fund. Counterparty risk with respect to certain exchange-traded and over-the counter derivatives may be further complicated by recently enacted U.S. financial reform legislation. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Consolidated Master 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.

Liquidity Risk: Some securities held by the Consolidated Master Fund may be difficult to sell, or illiquid, during times of market turmoil or otherwise. Illiquid securities may also be difficult to value. If the Consolidated Master Fund is forced to sell an illiquid asset to meet repurchase requests or other cash needs, the Consolidated Master Fund may be forced to sell at a loss or at a price lower than it could have otherwise received.

Non-Diversification Risk: The Consolidated Master Fund is classified as a “non-diversified” investment company which means that the percentage of its assets that may be invested in the securities of a single issuer

is not limited by the 1940 Act. As a result, the Consolidated Master Fund’s investment portfolio may be subject to greater risk and volatility than if investments had been made in the securities of a broad range of issuers.

Additional risks associated with each type of investment are described within the respective security type notes. The Feeder Fund I prospectus includes a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Feeder Fund I and indirectly investing in the Consolidated Master Fund. Please also refer to the notes of the Consolidated Master Fund for further discussion on risks.

7. Subsequent Events

The Investment Manager 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.

Semi-Annual Report

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019

 

Beginning with the Fund’s shareholder report for the period ending December 31, 2020, as permitted by regulations adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), 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 and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.

If you already 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 Blackstone Advisory Partners L.P. (the “Distributor”) or the Fund may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from the Fund electronically by calling (888) 756-8443 to make such arrangements. For shareholders who hold accounts through an investment advisor, bank, or broker-dealer, please 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 (888) 756-8443 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 shares are held through a financial intermediary, your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all funds held with that financial intermediary.

1. Organization

Blackstone Real Estate Income Master Fund (the “Master Fund”), a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Master Fund has formed a subsidiary, Blackstone Real Estate Income Master Fund (Cayman) Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”), organized in the Cayman Islands, through which the Master Fund mainly invests in securities exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Blackstone Real Estate Income Fund (“Feeder Fund I”) and Blackstone Real Estate Income Fund II (“Feeder Fund II” and together with Feeder Fund I, the “Feeder Funds”) invest substantially all of their assets in the Master Fund. The Master Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term total return, with an emphasis on current income, by primarily investing in a broad range of real estate-related debt investments.

The Master Fund consolidates the Subsidiary in accordance with the consolidation policy discussed in Note 2. The Master Fund and Subsidiary are herein referred to collectively as the “Consolidated Master Fund”.

The investment manager of the Consolidated Master Fund and the Feeder Funds is Blackstone Real Estate Income Advisors L.L.C. (the “Investment Manager”), an investment advisor registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Board of Trustees (the “Board” and each member thereof, a “Trustee”) of the Consolidated Master Fund and the Feeder Funds supervises the conduct of the Consolidated Master Fund’s and the Feeder Funds’ affairs and, pursuant to the investment management agreements (the “Investment Management Agreements”), has engaged the Investment Manager to manage the Consolidated Master Fund’s and the Feeder Funds’ day-to-day investment activities and operations.

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

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Consolidated Master 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, unless otherwise noted.

The Consolidated Master Fund is an investment company in accordance with Accounting Standards Codifications 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies, which defines investment companies and prescribes specialized accounting and reporting requirements for investment companies.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Investment Manager to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Investment Manager believes that the estimates utilized in preparing the consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent; however, actual results may differ from these estimates.

Consolidation

The Master Fund is presented as consolidated with the Subsidiary. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements include the assets and liabilities and the results of operations of the Subsidiary listed above. All intercompany balances have been eliminated.

Valuation Policy

The Consolidated Master Fund values its investments in securities, securities sold short, derivative financial instruments and other investments (together, the “investments”) at fair value. Market quotations can be obtained from third party pricing service providers or broker-dealers. The Board has established procedures for determining the fair value of investments (the “Valuation Procedures”). The Board has delegated to the Investment Manager day-to-day responsibility for implementing the Valuation Procedures. The Investment Manager provides oversight of the valuation and pricing function of the Consolidated Master Fund for all investments. The Investment Manager will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain two or more reliable quotations for each investment, and in connection therewith, will generally value such investments based on the average of the quotations obtained. 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 in good faith by the Investment Manager, pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board and such determinations shall be reported to the Board. Due to the inherent uncertainty of these estimates, 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). The Board has delegated to the Investment Manager the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Consolidated Master Fund’s investments and for determining whether the value of the applicable investments should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

Valuation techniques and availability of observable inputs can vary from investment to investment and are affected by a variety of factors including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment and the state of the market place, including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

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 Consolidated Master Fund does not adjust the quoted price for these investments.

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.

Level 3 – pricing inputs are unobservable and include instances where there is minimal, if any, market activity for the investment. The Investment Manager, values its investments, in good faith, using valuation techniques applied on a consistent basis. The determination of fair value is based on the best available information in the circumstances and may incorporate the Investment Mangers’ own assumptions and involves significant degree of judgment, taking into consideration a combination of internal and external

factors. Due to the inherent uncertainty of these estimates, the 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.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the fair value hierarchy. In addition, in periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments.

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

Fixed Income Securities

Fixed income securities, including corporate and convertible bonds, mezzanine debt, U.S. and foreign debt obligations, bank loans, and trade claims, are generally valued by broker-dealer quotations or third party pricing service providers on the basis of last available bid price. 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. 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 and have multiple pricing sources are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are usually issued as separate tranches, or classes, of securities within each deal. These securities are also normally valued by broker-dealer quotations or third party pricing service providers that use broker-dealer quotations or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models. The pricing models for these securities usually consider the attributes applicable to a particular class of the security (e.g., credit rating, seniority), current market data, estimated cash flows and relative market yield for each class, and incorporate deal collateral performance, as available. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above and have multiple pricing sources are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Securities with only a single pricing source are categorized as Level 3.

Equity Securities

Equity securities (including common shares of closed-end investment companies) listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price on the day of valuation or, if no sales took place on such date, at the mean between the closing bid and ask prices on the exchange where such securities are principally traded. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs and are active on a listed exchange as described above are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

Short-Term Investments

The Consolidated Master Fund considers short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less when acquired to be short-term investments. At June 30, 2019, the Consolidated Master Fund had $33,428,990 invested in JPMorgan U.S. Treasury Money Market Plus Fund (IJTXX—Institutional Class). Investments in money market funds are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy and are valued at net asset value.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Over the counter (“OTC”) derivative financial instruments, such as credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and options contracts derive their value from

Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

For the Six-Months Ended June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)

 

underlying referenced instruments or obligations, indices, reference rates, and other inputs or a combination of these factors. These contracts are normally valued by third party pricing service providers and/or based on broker dealer quotations. Depending on the product and the terms of the transaction, the value of derivative financial instruments can be estimated using a series of techniques, including, but not limited to, simulation pricing models. The pricing models use inputs that are observed from actively quoted markets such as issuer details, indices, spreads, interest rates, yield curves 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 normally valued by third party pricing service providers. 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.

Securities Sold Short

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

Upon entering into a Short Sale, the Consolidated Master 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 Consolidated Master Fund is liable to pay any interest income earned during the period the Short Sale is open. The interest is recorded as interest on securities sold short in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Option Contracts

The Consolidated Master Fund buys or writes put and call options through listed exchanges and over-the-counter. The buyer of an option has the right to purchase (in the case of a call option) or sell (in the case of a put option) a specified quantity of a specific security or currency at a specified price prior to or on a specified expiration date. The writer of an option is exposed to the risk of loss if the market price of the underlying securities declines (in the case of a put option) or increases (in the case of a call option). The writer of an option can never profit by more than the premium paid by the buyer but can lose an unlimited amount.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

The Consolidated Master Fund enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts from time to time to obtain investment exposure, enhance return or hedge or protect its portfolio holdings against the risk of future movements in certain foreign currency exchange rates. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are agreements between two parties to exchange a fixed quantity of one currency for another currency at an agreed-upon price on an agreed upon future date. The market value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with the changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Swap Agreements

The Consolidated Master Fund enters into swaps from time to time, which include total return, interest rate, and credit default swap agreements. Swaps are typically bilaterally negotiated agreements between the Consolidated Master Fund and a counterparty in which the Consolidated Master 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 over-the-counter market or may be executed in a multilateral or other trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements

The Consolidated Master Fund enters into reverse repurchase agreements from time to time. In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Consolidated Master Fund sells securities in exchange for cash to a financial institution, the counterparty, with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same or substantially the same securities at an agreed upon date and price. Certain agreements may have no stated maturity and can be terminated by either party at any time. Interest on the value of the reverse repurchase agreements issued and outstanding is based upon competitive market rates determined at the time of issuance. The Consolidated Master Fund may utilize reverse repurchase agreements when it is anticipated that the income to be earned from the investment of the proceeds of the transaction is greater than the interest expense of the transaction. The transactions are generally accounted for as collateralized financing transactions and the Consolidated Master Fund retains ownership of the security to be repurchased as a pledged asset and records a liability for the repurchase amount.

Unfunded Loan Commitments

The Consolidated Master Fund enters into certain agreements, all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The Consolidated Master Fund is obligated to fund these loan commitments at the borrowers’ discretion. Funded and unfunded portions of credit agreements are presented in the Schedule of Investments.

Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income

Investment transactions are recorded as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Income and expenses, including interest, are recorded on an accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from sale of investments are determined on the identified cost basis using the first in first out methodology.

Foreign Currency Translation

The books and records of the Consolidated Master Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars and transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded in the Consolidated Master Fund’s records at the rate prevailing when earned and recorded. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are adjusted to reflect current exchange rates and any unrealized gains (losses) are included in Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments and foreign currency translations on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The resultant exchange gains and losses upon settlement of such transactions are included in Net realized gain on investments and foreign currency translations on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Consolidated Master Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the changes in market prices of the securities.

Cash

As of June 30, 2019, the Consolidated Master Fund had $26,880,743 in domestic cash and $1,276,687 in foreign cash held at a major U.S. bank.

Contingencies

Under the Consolidated Master Fund’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the “Declaration of Trust”), the Consolidated Master Fund’s officers and each Trustee are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Consolidated Master Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Consolidated Master Fund may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and indemnification obligations and expects the risk of loss to be remote. Each Feeder Fund bears its pro-rata share of the Consolidated Master Fund’s expenses, subject to reimbursement by the Investment Manager, pursuant to an expense limitation and reimbursement agreement between each Feeder Fund and the Investment Manager.

Income Taxes

The Consolidated Master Fund is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in the Consolidated Master Fund is treated as the owner of its proportionate share of net assets, income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses of the Consolidated Master Fund. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Consolidated Master Fund plans to file U.S. Federal and various state and local tax returns. All the Consolidated Master Fund’s assets are managed so that the Feeder Funds can satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

For the open tax years and all major jurisdictions, management of the Consolidated Master Funds has concluded that there are no uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the consolidated financial statements. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Consolidated Master Fund’s filed U.S. federal tax returns remains open for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 through December 31, 2018.

Segregation and Collateralization

In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the SEC and its staff require that the Consolidated Master Fund segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, swaps and options written), or transactions considered to reflect borrowings (e.g., reverse repurchase agreements), the Consolidated Master Fund will, consistent with SEC rules and/or certain interpretive guidance issued by the SEC, segregate assets 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, third party broker-dealers, futures commissions merchants and clearing organizations, a fund engaging in such transactions may have requirements to deliver/deposit cash or securities to/with an exchange, broker-dealer, futures commission merchant or clearing organization as collateral or margin for certain investments to the extent consistent with the 1940 Act and interpretive positions of the SEC and its staff.

The Consolidated Master Fund may mitigate counterparty risk by contractually requiring its counterparties to post collateral under a master agreement and a credit support annex published by International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (collectively, an “ISDA Master Agreement”) implemented between the Consolidated Master Fund and each of its respective counterparties, as well as through netting provisions contained in the ISDA Master Agreement, and reaching other financial agreements between the Consolidated Master Fund and its counterparty in the ISDA Master Agreement. An ISDA Master Agreement may contain certain provisions regarding, among other things, the right parties’ general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral requirements, events of default and early termination. At June 30, 2019, the Consolidated Master Fund used the gross method of presentation in the consolidated financial statements and did not elect to offset amounts eligible for offset under enforceable master netting arrangements or similar

agreements. Collateral pledged by the Consolidated Master Fund is segregated by the Consolidated Master Fund’s custodian and identified as such in the Consolidated Master Fund’s portfolio. Collateral can be in the form of cash or securities as agreed to by the Consolidated Master Fund and the applicable counterparty. Typically, the Consolidated Master Fund and counterparties are not permitted to sell, repledge or otherwise use the collateral they receive.

The Consolidated Master Fund manages counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that are believed to have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The agreements entered into by the Consolidated Master Fund typically contain credit risk related features that are triggered under certain circumstances. Such circumstances may include agreed upon net asset value thresholds. If triggered, the counterparty may terminate the contract and any transactions thereunder.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which amended guidance on the disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. The amended guidance added, eliminated and modified disclosures for investments measured at fair value. The impact of the amended guidance on the Funds was the removal of the requirements to disclose (a) amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and 2 (b) the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements, and (b) the policy for timing of transfers between levels. The Consolidated Master Fund has evaluated the impact of ASU 2018-13 and has adopted the changes into its consolidated financial statements.

Changes in Accounting Principles

In March 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities, which provides guidance related to the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities purchased at a premium. Specifically, it required the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The cumulative effect impacts net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses but does not impact net assets or net asset value. The Consolidated Master Fund has evaluated the impact of this guidance and the cumulative effect was immaterial for the Funds.

3. Reverse Repurchase Agreements

The Consolidated Master Fund enters into reverse repurchase agreements with qualified banks or broker- dealers through a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”). An MRA contains provisions for initiation, income payments, events of default and maintenance of securities for repurchase agreements. An MRA may also permit, upon the occurrence of an event of default by one party, the offsetting of obligations under the MRA against obligations under other agreements with the same counterparty to create one single net payment in the event of default or similar events, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of a counterparty.

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 Consolidated Master Fund may decline below the price of the securities the Consolidated Master Fund is obligated to repurchase. They also involve the risk that the counterparty liquidates the securities delivered to it by the Consolidated Master Fund under the reverse repurchase agreement following the occurrence of an event of default under the applicable MRA by the Consolidated Master Fund. The Consolidated Master Fund’s use of reverse repurchase agreements also

subjects the Consolidated Master Fund to interest costs based on the difference between the sale and repurchase price of a security involved in such a transaction. Additionally, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements entail the same risks as over-the-counter derivatives, as described in Notes 4 and 8. Securities subject to repurchase under reverse repurchase agreements 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 June 30, 2019, the face value of open reverse repurchase agreements for the Fund was $441,071,317. The weighted average daily balances of reverse repurchase agreements outstanding during the six-months ended June 30, 2019, was approximately $468,566,694 at a weighted average weekly interest rate of 2.93%.

The following table presents the Consolidated Master Fund’s outstanding reverse repurchase agreements, including accrued interest, which are subject to enforceable MRAs, as well as the collateral delivered related to those reverse repurchase agreements as of June 30, 2019:

4. Derivative Financial Instruments

In the normal course of business, the Consolidated Master Fund utilizes derivative contracts in connection with its proprietary trading activities. Investments in derivative contracts are subject to additional risks that can result in a loss of all or part of an investment. The Consolidated Master Fund’s derivative activities and exposure to derivative contracts would be classified by the following primary underlying risks: interest rate, credit, foreign currency exchange rate, commodity price, and equity price risks. In addition to its primary underlying risks, the Consolidated Master Fund is also subject to additional counterparty risk due to inability of its counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The following disclosures contain information on how the Consolidated Master Fund uses derivative contracts.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

The Consolidated Master Fund enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts from time to time to obtain investment exposure, enhance return or hedge or protect its portfolio holdings against the risk of future movements in certain foreign currency exchange rates. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are agreements between two parties to exchange a fixed quantity of one currency for another currency at an agreed-upon price on an agreed upon future date. The market value of a forward foreign currency contract 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 Consolidated Master 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 Consolidated Master 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 being received, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of such currency increase. In addition, the Consolidated Master Fund could be exposed to losses if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of the contracts. The Consolidated

Master 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. The Consolidated Master Fund segregates liquid assets with a value equal (on a daily mark-to-market basis) to its obligations under these types of transactions, enters into offsetting transactions or otherwise covers such transactions.

Swap Agreements

The Consolidated Master Fund enters into swaps from time to time, which include total return, interest rate, and credit default swap agreements. Swaps are typically bilaterally negotiated agreements between the Consolidated Master Fund and a counterparty in which the Consolidated Master 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 over-the-counter market or may be executed in a multilateral or other trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange.

The Consolidated Master Fund may enter into swap agreements for investment purposes or managing exposure to interest rates, 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 Consolidated Master 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 Consolidated Master Fund as collateral for swap agreements identified in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments and segregated cash, if any, are reflected on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Credit Default Swaps: The Consolidated Master Fund enters into OTC and/or centrally cleared credit default swap contracts from time to time to hedge credit risk, to hedge market risk, or to gain exposure on single name issues and/or baskets of securities (e.g., CMBX, a tradeable index referencing a basket of commercial mortgage-backed securities). In an OTC credit default swap contract, the protection buyer typically makes an upfront payment and/or 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 Consolidated Master Fund or made by the Consolidated Master Fund is recorded as a liability or asset, respectively, in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Periodic payments received or paid by Consolidated Master Fund are recorded as realized gains or losses. OTC credit default swap contracts are marked to market daily and the change is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss on swaps contracts. 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 contracts. With respect to selling a credit default swap, the Consolidated Master Fund will segregate assets or otherwise covers its obligations for the notional amount of such credit default swap.

Interest Rate Swaps: The Consolidated Master Fund enters into OTC and/or centrally cleared interest rate swap contracts from time to time to hedge interest rate risk, to gain exposure on interest rates and to hedge prepayment risk. The Consolidated Master Fund is subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. Because the Consolidated Master Fund holds fixed rate bonds, 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 rate, on the same notional amount for a specified period of time. The Consolidated Master 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.

OTC and centrally cleared 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 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 Consolidated Master Fund enters into OTC total return swap contracts from time to time to gain exposure to the investment returns on an underlying financial instrument without purchasing the financial instrument itself. In a total return swap, the Consolidated Master Fund receives the economic returns of the underlying financial instrument, inclusive of any mark to market change in value from the date of such purchase of the underlying instrument, any interest earned from the settlement date of the underlying instrument less a swap financing fee, which is typically LIBOR plus a spread. The total return swap derives its value from the valuation of underlying financial instruments. The underlying financial instruments for the total return swaps held at period end were loans and a bond. The swap is valued daily at current market value and any unrealized appreciation or depreciation is included in the net change in unrealized appreciation/ (depreciation) on swap contracts. Gain or loss is realized on the termination date of the swap and when periodic payments are received or made at the end of each measurement period. During the period the swap is open, the Consolidated Master Fund may be subject to risk from the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement.

Options Contracts

The Consolidated Master Fund enters into purchased call or put options (“Options”) from time to time. Options may be used to obtain economic exposure equivalent to a long or short position, respectively, or to hedge existing or anticipated portfolio positions. The Consolidated Master Fund may buy or write Options through the OTC market and listed exchanges.

The buyer has the right to purchase (in the case of a call option) or sell (in the case of a put option) a specified quantity of the underlying at a specified price prior to or on a specified expiration date. The writer of an option is exposed to the risk of loss if the price of the underlying declines (in the case of a put option) or increases (in the case of a call option).

Option contracts purchased (call or put) require the payment of premiums in exchange for the right to purchase or sell an underlying at a contracted strike price and maturity. The premium paid by the Consolidated Master Fund is recorded as an asset and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current fair value of the option.

Option contracts sold (written calls or written puts) obligates the Consolidated Master Fund to buy or sell, within a limited time, an underlying at a contracted strike price and maturity. The writer of an option receives a premium which is recorded as a liability and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current fair value of the option.

Netting Arrangements

The Consolidated Master 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 table below presents information related to derivative financial instruments that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement (“MNA”) and are not offset, as shown in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of June 30, 2019.

The Consolidated Master Fund enters into ISDA Master Agreements which contain MNA’s 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 Consolidated Master 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 Consolidated Master 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.

6. Fund Terms

Repurchases

Repurchases will be made only at such times and on such terms as may be determined by the Consolidated Master Fund’s Board, in its sole discretion.

All shares of beneficial interest, if any, repurchased from shareholders of the Feeder Funds by the Feeder Funds, as applicable, will result in corresponding repurchases of common shares of beneficial interest of the Consolidated Master Fund. Refer to the most recent shareholder reports of the Feeder Funds for repurchase offer amounts for the period ended June 30, 2019.

7. Related Party Transactions

Management Fee

The Consolidated Master Fund pays the Investment Manager an aggregate fixed management fee (the “Management Fee”), payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each quarter. The Management Fee accrues monthly at an annual rate of 1.50% of the Consolidated Master Fund’s Managed Assets at the end of such month before giving effect to the Management Fee payment being calculated or any purchases or repurchases of Consolidated Master Fund shares or any distributions by the Consolidated Master Fund. The Management Fee will reduce the net asset value of the Consolidated Master Fund (and indirectly, of the Feeder Funds) as of the end of the accounting period in which it is payable and after the calculation of the Management Fee. Effective October 1, 2014 through December 31, 2019, the Investment Manager agreed to temporarily reduce its Management Fee to an annualized rate of 0.75% of the Consolidated Master Fund’s Managed Assets (“Management Fee Waiver”). The Investment Manager may, in its sole discretion and at any time (including prior to December 31, 2019), elect to extend, terminate or modify its voluntary waiver. The Management Fee, after the Management Fee Waiver, was $4,750,852 for the period ended June 30, 2019.

Incentive Fee

The Consolidated Master Fund accrues a performance-based incentive fee (the “Incentive Fee”) on a monthly basis throughout the fiscal year of the Consolidated Master Fund. The Incentive Fee is paid to the Investment Manager promptly after the end of each fiscal year of the Consolidated Master Fund pursuant to the Consolidated Master Fund’s investment management agreement. The Incentive Fee is determined as of the end of the fiscal year in an amount equal to 15% of the amount by which the Consolidated Master Fund’s Net Capital Appreciation (as defined below) for each Fiscal Period ending within or coterminous with the close of such fiscal year exceeds the balance of the loss carryforward account and any allocated Management Fee expense for such Fiscal Period, without duplication for any Incentive Fees paid during such fiscal year. The Consolidated Master Fund also pays the Investment Manager the Incentive Fee in the event a Fiscal Period is triggered in connection with a repurchase offer by the Consolidated Master Fund. For purposes of calculating the Incentive Fee, “Net Capital Appreciation” means, with respect to any Fiscal Period, the difference, if any, between (x) the sum of (i) the value of the Consolidated Master Fund’s net asset value at the end of that Fiscal Period (prior to the Incentive Fee for such Fiscal Period) increased by the dollar amount of the Consolidated Master Fund’s interests repurchased during the Fiscal Period (excluding repurchases as of the last day of the Fiscal Period after determination of the Incentive Fee), (ii) the amount of any dividends, distributions or withdrawals paid to shareholders during the Fiscal Period and not reinvested in the Consolidated Master Fund (excluding any dividends, distributions or withdrawals to be paid as of the last day of the Fiscal Period), and (iii) the Management Fee expense for that Fiscal Period, and (y) the sum of (i) the value of the Consolidated Master Fund’s net asset value at the beginning of that Fiscal Period (prior to the Management Fee for such Fiscal Period), increased by the dollar amount of the Consolidated Master Fund’s interests issued during the Fiscal Period (excluding any shares issued in connection with the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions paid by the Consolidated Master Fund) and (ii) the amount of any subscriptions to the Consolidated Master Fund during that Fiscal Period. All calculations of Net Capital Appreciation will be made (without duplication) after deduction of all general, administrative and other operating expenses of the Consolidated Master Fund (excluding the Incentive Fee) and any amounts necessary, in the Investment Manager’s sole discretion, as appropriate reserves for such expenses. The Consolidated Master Fund’s Incentive Fee was $11,870,784 for the period ended June 30, 2019.

Expense Payments

Blackstone Holdings Finance Co. L.L.C. (“FINCO”), an affiliate of the Investment Manager, pays expenses on behalf of the Consolidated Master Fund from time to time. The Consolidated Master Fund reimburses FINCO for such expenses paid on behalf of the Consolidated Master Fund. FINCO does not charge any fees for providing such administrative services. There was no payable for the period ended June 30, 2019.

MBS Investments

As of June 30, 2019, the Consolidated Master Fund’s investments included six mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) with a total cost basis of $172,812,747 collateralized by properties owned by investment vehicles that are advised by an affiliate of the Investment Manager (an “affiliated investment vehicle”). Such MBS were purchased in secondary market transactions on market terms negotiated by the majority third-party investors. Each investment in such MBS by the Consolidated Master Fund and the affiliated investment vehicles represented a minority participation in any individual tranche. The Consolidated Master Fund and the affiliated investment vehicles will forgo all non-economic rights (including voting rights) in such MBS as long as the other affiliated investment vehicles own above a certain threshold of interest in the properties collateralizing or loans underlying, or have an interest in a different part of the capital structure related to, such MBS. For the period ended June 30, 2019, the Consolidated Master Fund recorded interest income of $2,675,385 and an unrealized loss of $215,177 related to its investments in such MBS. Such amounts were

reported as a component of the net increase in net assets resulting from operations on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

8. Financial Instruments and Off-Balance Sheet Risk

Market Risk: In the normal course of business, the Consolidated Master 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 Consolidated Master Fund may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Consolidated Master 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.

Derivative Risk: The Consolidated Master Fund enters into derivatives transactions which may include, without limitation, options contracts, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, forward contracts, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps and other swap agreements for investment, hedging or leverage purposes. The Consolidated Master Fund’s use of derivative instruments may be speculative and involves investment risks and transaction costs to which the Consolidated Master Fund would not be subject absent the use of these instruments, and the use of derivatives generally involves leverage in the sense that the investment exposure created by the derivatives may be significantly greater than the Consolidated Master Fund’s initial investment in the derivatives. Thus, the use of derivatives may result in losses in excess of principal or greater than if they had not been used. The ability to successfully use derivative instruments depends on the ability of the Investment Manager. The skills needed to employ derivatives strategies are different from those needed to select portfolio security and, in connection with such strategies, the Investment Manager must make predictions with respect to market conditions, liquidity, currency movements, market values, interest rates and other applicable factors, which may be inaccurate.

Credit and Counterparty Risk: The Consolidated Master Fund will be subject to credit risk with respect to the counterparties to its derivatives contracts (whether a clearing corporation in the case of exchange-traded instruments or another third party in the case of OTC instruments) purchased by the Consolidated Master Fund. The Investment Manager will evaluate and monitor the creditworthiness of counterparties in order to ensure that such counterparties can perform their obligations under the relevant agreements. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations under a derivative contract due to financial difficulties, the Consolidated Master Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery under the derivative contract in a dissolution, assignment for the benefit of creditors, liquidation, winding-up, bankruptcy or other analogous proceeding. In addition, in the event of the insolvency of a counterparty to a derivative transaction, the derivative contract would typically be terminated at its fair market value. If the Consolidated Master Fund is owed this fair market value in the termination of the derivative contract and its claim is unsecured, the Consolidated Master Fund will be treated as a general creditor of such counterparty, and will not have any claim with respect to the underlying security. The Consolidated Master Fund may obtain only a limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances.

Currently, certain categories of interest rate and credit default swaps are subject to mandatory clearing, and more are expected to be cleared in the future. The counterparty risk for cleared derivatives is generally lower than for uncleared OTC derivative transactions because generally a clearing organization becomes substituted for each counterparty to a cleared derivative contract and, in effect, guarantees the parties’ performance under the contract as each party to a trade looks only to the clearing house for performance of financial obligations. However, there can be no assurance that a clearing house, or its members, will satisfy the clearing house’s obligations to the Consolidated Master Fund. Counterparty risk with respect to certain exchange-traded and over-the counter derivatives may be further complicated by recently enacted U.S. financial reform legislation. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Consolidated Master 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.

Liquidity Risk: Some securities held by the Consolidated Master Fund may be difficult to sell, or illiquid, during times of market turmoil or otherwise. Illiquid securities may also be difficult to value. If the Consolidated Master Fund is forced to sell an illiquid asset to meet repurchase requests or other cash needs, the Consolidated Master Fund may be forced to sell at a loss or at a price lower than it could have otherwise received.

Non-Diversification Risk: The Consolidated Master Fund is classified as a “non-diversified” investment company which means that the percentage of its assets that may be invested in the securities of a single issuer is not limited by the 1940 Act. As a result, the Consolidated Master Fund’s investment portfolio may be subject to greater risk and volatility than if investments had been made in the securities of a broad range of issuers.

Additional risks associated with each type of investment are described within the respective security type notes. The Feeder Funds’ prospectuses include a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Feeder Funds and indirectly investing in the Consolidated Master Fund.

11. Administration Agreements

The Consolidated Master Fund and Feeder Funds have entered into administration, custody and transfer agency agreements (the “Administration Agreements”) with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”). State Street and/or its affiliates are responsible for providing administration, custody and transfer agency services for the Consolidated Master Fund and Feeder Funds, including, but not limited to: (i) maintaining corporate and financial books and records of the Consolidated Master Fund and Feeder Funds, (ii) providing administration services and (iii) performing other accounting and clerical services necessary in connection with the administration of the Consolidated Master Fund and Feeder Funds. The services performed by State Street may be completed by one or more of its affiliated companies.

12. Subsequent Events

The Investment Manager 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.
