“We perceive significant opportunities for ourselves here,” he stated. “Europe is beginning to adjust its strategy, and we believe the outcome will be enhanced economic growth.”

Several other prominent investment companies have indicated that they view Europe as an appealing investment location during this period of geopolitical shifts. Representatives from Brookfield Asset Management, BC Partners, and Permira discussed this topic at an industry event in Berlin last week. 

Along with Europe, Schwartzman pointed out that Blackstone is considering the Middle East as a possible investment location. 

“The rapid expansion of cities like Riyadh and Dubai into international hubs presents appealing opportunities, despite the region's historical dominance by local business and capital,” stated the Blackstone head.
