Compensation Committee Analysis
- The Funds do not have a dedicated Compensation Committee; the Nominating and Governance Committee reviews compensation arrangements for Independent Trustees, not for officers employed by Blackstone .
- Trustee compensation is defined via retainers and committee fees; officers employed by Blackstone receive no compensation from the Funds, so no Fund-level pay-for-performance framework applies to officers .
Investment Implications
- Pay-for-performance insight at the Fund level is limited for Robert Post because officers are paid by the Adviser, and the proxy provides no salary/bonus/equity metrics or vesting schedules; this reduces visibility into compensation alignment or vesting-driven selling pressure at the Fund level .
- Lack of individual beneficial ownership disclosure for Post, combined with de minimis group-level holdings (<1%, 265 BGB common shares for trustees and executive officers as a group), suggests limited direct equity alignment with BGB at the Fund level; any ownership or hedging/pledging practices for Post are not provided .
- Retention and incentives are primarily tied to Blackstone Credit & Insurance’s compensation structures and performance metrics in its Liquid Credit Strategies business (US CLO management), not disclosed in BGB’s proxy; execution risk and value creation should be assessed through Blackstone’s platform performance rather than Fund-level officer compensation .
- Governance checks: no compensation committee for officers, Nominating and Governance oversees trustee pay; no 8-K Item 5.02 appointment/termination filings found for BGB, indicating stable officer roles across the latest period reported .
