Blackstone Asset Based Finance Superday
Hi all,
Have an upcoming superday for Blackstone Structured Finance Group, Asset Based Finance. It's a fairly new group and I haven't been able to understand exactly what they do, but from my first round it seems like they invest in pooled loan obligations, like car loans? I would love to hear if anyone might have a better idea of what this group does, as well as what kind of technicals I should expect. I've pasted the relevant parts of the posting below:
Business Unit Overview: Asset Based Finance (“ABF”) sits within Blackstone Structured Finance Group (“SFG”), which manages the Firm’s $85B asset and mortgage financing business. Since 2017, ABF has scaled to apx. $25B AUM, focused on privately originated, income-oriented credit assets secured by physical or financial collateral. ABF primarily invests in senior secured debt across a broad spectrum of high-conviction sectors (e.g., consumer lending, fund finance, digital infrastructure, solar, etc.)
Primary responsibilities will include:
- Working with the team to perform due diligence on prospective investments within the credit space, with a focus on Structured Credit. This will include meeting with potential borrowers and their teams, industry/strategy research, and quantitative analysis
- Modeling and evaluating various types of deal structures
- Structuring and negotiating deal term sheets
- Reviewing credit agreements and other loan documentation
- Working with other members of the Investment Team to source, diligence, and underwrite investment opportunities, leveraging Blackstone’s various groups where appropriate
- Drafting and presenting memorandums for Investment Committees
- Monitoring existing investments including tracking key risks/mitigants and continuously challenging the validity of the investment thesis
- Thinking creatively about ways to improve the team’s existing processes
Thanks in advance!

Hope that helps.
Sorry to bug! Saw your first post on the first interview and sort of in the same position as I mentioned there! Please let me know if you have even a minute to give any insight!
Not OP, but did the SD last year. Super focused on generally understanding what is structured credit, why a debtor would choose securitization over general corporate level debt, and at the time, focused a lot on what was going on with bank collapses.
Thank you so much - this is late, but thanks again for your insight. Any chance you remember what the R1 was like? Happy to pm you as well.
Pretty similar stuff. Structured credit is niche, so questions didn't go crazy deep into it because as it is, most people know nothing about it.
