Would add probably one of the best platforms in the space, Ares Special Opps (ASOF) 

 

Blackstone TacOps is not a distressed focused fund nor is it a hedge fund - some of the names on these lists are just grossly inaccurate. 

For example, King Street is known mostly for its liquid credit hedge fund strategies - parsing through BX TacOps homepage will quickly let you know that is not their mandate whatsoever. Aurelius is known for litigation focus, distressed investing, and playing in sovereign distress in the secondary markets - once again not TacOps' mandate. 

Not to say TacOps can't overlap, but to draw equivalence is pretty inaccurate. That said anyone who gets hired there can probably figure that out.
