The deal is set to push Blackstone’s insurance assets under management to about $150 billion by the end of 2021.\n“It really encapsulates the evolution of our business,” Mr. Gray said of the AIG arrangement.\nA decade of low interest rates and strong performance has prompted the firm to venture beyond its traditional focus on investing institutional money, he said.\nThe combined market opportunity in insurance and retail is worth significantly more, he said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":5294587,"gmtCreate":1626960448903,"gmtModify":1663231327029,"authorId":3579215307992883,"author":{"id":3579215307992883,"idStr":"3579215307992883","authorId":3579215307992883,"name":"Yyk93","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c88c4fbff03dba565b2431bddbbfb7d2","vip":1,"crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":172650013,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Ok","text":"Ok","html":"Ok"},{"id":5294748,"gmtCreate":1626961146068,"gmtModify":1663231324341,"authorId":3573364000575272,"author":{"id":3573364000575272,"idStr":"3573364000575272","authorId":3573364000575272,"name":"ALLOYHUAT","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1ed93fe58b3eb7ac6c44343e09bfabcd","vip":1,"crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":172650013,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Ok","text":"Ok","html":"Ok"}],"langContent":"EN"}],"hasMoreComments":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":127,"commentSize":16,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false}}
