Related Topics

Columbia Management and Blackstone Alternative Asset Management (BAAM) are to research and develop investment solutions that leverage Columbia’s asset management capabilities and Blackstone’s hedge fund solutions business.

Columbia has considerable experience in asset allocation and alternative investing, with Jeff Knight, Global Head of Investment Solutions and Asset Allocation, and William Landes, PhD, Deputy Head of Global Investment Solutions, leading the company’s efforts to develop and manage compelling products and solutions for its clients.

Columbia’s expertise in asset allocation, equity and fixed-income investment management, and sub-advisory selection capabilities offers investors a powerful opportunity to help meet their specific needs. The addition of Blackstone’s alternative investment proficiency as captured through existing registered fund solutions will further enhance Columbia’s capability set.
 
BAAM is the world’s largest discretionary allocator to hedge funds and it strives to provide best-in-class solutions across alternative asset classes and strategies.
 
“Collaboration with Blackstone will enhance Columbia’s already deep product line-up and should allow us to reach even more investors and distribution partners, both domestically and internationally, with a broad set of alternative investment capabilities,” says Bill Landes. “This is an important opportunity to further enhance our offering of alternative investments and solutions-based strategies.”
