Blackstone’s GP Stakes Group offers Summer Analysts the chance to evaluate and engage in investments in a variety of private equity firms and other private-market alternative asset management firms. The investment process develops both the financial analysis of investment banking and the strategic thinking of management consulting together with a “principal” investor mindset.
