Blackstone is heading to Wall Street’s big stage next month.

The alternative asset giant announced that Michael Chae, Vice Chairman and CFO, will present at the Barclays Global Financial Services Conference on Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2025, at 11:15 a.m. ET.

Investors can catch the session via a live webcast on Blackstone’s investor relations site (ir.blackstone.com). A replay will also be posted for those who miss the live stream.

Why It Matters

The Barclays conference is a closely watched industry event, drawing top executives from leading banks, asset managers, and fintech firms. Presentations often give investors an early read on strategy shifts, macroeconomic outlooks, and sector sentiment.

For Blackstone, which manages more than $1 trillion in assets, Chae’s remarks could provide insights into the firm’s credit expansion, private markets strategy, and positioning in a high-rate environment. Rival CFOs from firms like Apollo and KKR are also expected to attend, underscoring the competitive stakes.

Context

Chae, who has been with Blackstone since 1997 and became CFO in 2015, is known for steering the firm’s finances during a period of massive growth and increasing emphasis on private credit. His appearance comes as institutional investors are pressing for clarity on fund performance, distribution pacing, and AI-driven efficiencies in deal execution.

Bottom Line

If you’re tracking the future of private markets and alternative investing, Chae’s presentation at Barclays is one to watch. Expect updates not just on Blackstone’s books, but on how the world’s largest alt manager sees the next chapter of global finance.
