Company Description
HPS Investment Partners, a part of BlackRock, is a leading global, credit-focused alternative investment manager that seeks to provide creative capital solutions and generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our clients. We manage various strategies across the capital structure, including privately negotiated senior debt; privately negotiated junior capital solutions in debt, preferred, and equity formats; liquid credit, including syndicated leveraged loans, collateralized loan obligations, and high-yield bonds; asset-based finance; and real estate. The scale and breadth of our platform offer the flexibility to invest in companies of all sizes, through standard or customized solutions. At our core, we share a common commitment to intellectual rigor and discipline that enables us to create value for our clients.
HPS was established in 2007 as a unit of Highbridge Capital Management, LLC (“HCM”), a subsidiary of JPMorgan Asset Management (“JPMAM”). On March 31, 2016, the senior executives of HPS acquired HPS and its subsidiaries from JPMAM and HCM (the “Transaction”). Following the Transaction, JPMAM retained a passive minority investment in HPS, which was subsequently redeemed in April 2022. In June 2018, affiliates of Dyal Capital Partners made a passive minority investment in HPS. In February 2022, an affiliate of The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America made a passive minority investment in HPS, which was subsequently increased in August 2024. On July 1, 2025, BlackRock acquired the business and assets of HPS, with 100% of the consideration paid in BlackRock equity (the “HPS/BlackRock Transaction”).
The HPS/BlackRock Transaction combines BlackRock’s corporate and asset owner relationships with HPS’s diversified origination capabilities and capital flexibility. BlackRock and HPS have formed a new private financing solutions business unit (“PFS”) led by Scott Kapnick, Scot French, and Michael Patterson, creating an integrated franchise with approximately $370 billion in client assets, including $205 billion in private credit assets.This combined platform, which has more than 590 investment professionals and approximately 1,300 employees globally, offers broad capabilities across senior and junior credit solutions, asset-based finance, real estate, CLOs, and GP-LP solutions. As part of the HPS/BlackRock Transaction, Scott Kapnick, Scot French, and Michael Patterson have joined BlackRock’s Global Executive Committee, and Scott Kapnick has been appointed as an observer to the BlackRock Board.
