Blackstone is considering abandoning its $3 billion debt financing plan.

According to informed sources, Blackstone Group is considering abandoning a debt financing plan of about $3 billion, which was originally intended to help the company return some funds to investors. The sources said that Blackstone has been planning a so-called fund collateralized debt obligation for an earlier established private equity secondary market fund, which has around 700 underlying investments. Due to the confidential nature of the information, these individuals requested anonymity. Some of them mentioned that Blackstone has been struggling to find buyers for the equity tranche of the deal, which is typically the riskiest part of such transactions. The sources stated that Blackstone executives are still weighing various options, and the company may decide to move forward with the CFO deal, or it may seek other ways to return funds to existing investors.
