The analyst maintained an Overweight rating, stating "Widening distribution channels and an expanding product set are increasing BX's TAM and enabling BX to successfully target new customer sets (retail investors in the US, Europe, and Asia, and insurance clients) and increase wallet share with existing customers (insurance and traditional institutional clients). We see this paving the way toward $1tr of AuM by 2023."
