Unless otherwise provided for in this report, all capitalised terms should have the same meaning herein as in the most recent prospectus of Blackstone Alternative Investment Funds plc (the “Company”) dated 19 December 2019 and the supplement to the prospectus for Blackstone Diversified Multi-Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) dated 19 December 2019 and the addendum dated 16 March 2020 (together “the Prospectus”). The Directors are responsible for preparing the Directors’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Section 228 of the Companies Act 2014 requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the Company's assets, liabilities and financial position as at the end of the financial year and of the profit or loss of the Company for the financial year. Under Irish company law, the Directors shall not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities and financial position of the Company as at the financial year end date and of the profit or loss of the Company for the financial year. In preparing the financial statements, the Directors are required to: • oversee the selection of suitable accounting policies and that such policies are consistently applied; • ensure that judgements and estimates are reasonable and prudent;

• state whether the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards and identify the standards in question, subject to any material departures from those standards being disclosed and explained in the notes to the financial statements; and

• oversee the preparation of the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.

The Directors are responsible for ensuring that adequate accounting records are kept that are sufficient to: • correctly record and explain the transactions of the Company; • enable, at any time, the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the Company to be determined with

reasonable accuracy; and • enable the Directors to ensure that the financial statements comply with the requirements of the Companies Act 2014 and

enable those financial statements to be audited. The Directors confirm that they believe that they have complied with the above requirements in preparing the financial statements. The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that its financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as adopted by the European Union and the Companies Act 2014. The books of accounts are kept at 78 Sir John Rogerson’s Quay, Dublin 2, Ireland by State Street Fund Services (Ireland) Limited (the “Administrator”). The Directors are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company, in this regard they have entrusted the assets of the Company to State Street Custodial Services (Ireland) Limited (the "Depositary"), who has been appointed as depositary to the Company pursuant to the terms of a Depositary Agreement. The Directors have a general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities. Directors’ compliance statement

It is the policy of the Company to comply with its relevant obligations (as defined in the Companies Act 2014). As required by Section 225(2) of the Companies Act 2014, the Directors acknowledge that they are responsible for securing the Company's compliance with the relevant obligations. The Directors have drawn up a compliance policy statement as defined in Section 225(3)(a) of the Companies Act 2014 and a compliance policy which refers to the arrangements and structures that are in place and which are, in the Directors' opinion, designed to secure material compliance with the Company's relevant obligations. These arrangements and structures were reviewed by the Company during the financial year. In discharging their responsibilities under Section 225, the Directors relied upon, among other things, the services provided, advice and/or representations from third parties whom the Directors believe have the requisite knowledge and experience in order to secure material compliance with the Company's relevant obligations. The following information is derived from and should be read in conjunction with the full text and definitions section of the Prospectus.

Principal activities The Company was incorporated on 13 May 2014 under registration number 543808 and was authorised as an undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities (“UCITS”) on 15 July 2014 by the Central Bank of Ireland (the “Central Bank”). The Company is organised as an open-ended investment company with variable capital organised under the laws of Ireland as a public limited company pursuant to the Companies Act 2014 and the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations 2011 (as amended), (the “UCITS Regulations”) and the Central Bank (Supervision and Enforcement) Act 2013 (Section 48(1)) (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations 2019 (the “Central Bank Regulations”). The Company is organised in the form of an umbrella fund with segregated liability between sub-funds. The Articles of Association provide that the Company may offer separate classes of shares, each representing interests in a sub-fund, with each sub-fund comprising a separate and distinct portfolio of investments. The Company has obtained the approval of the Central Bank for the establishment of the initial fund, Blackstone Diversified Multi-Strategy Fund, which commenced operations on 11 August 2014. As at 31 December 2020 this was the only active sub-fund.

Additional sub-funds in respect of which a separate supplement to the Prospectus will be issued may be established by the Company with the prior approval of the Central Bank. Investment objective and policies The investment objective of the Fund is to seek capital appreciation. The Investment Manager seeks to achieve the Fund’s objective by allocating the Fund’s assets among a variety of discretionary and non-discretionary investment advisers (“Sub-Advisers”) with experience managing and/or advising on non-traditional or “alternative” investment strategies.

Investment Manager's Report

7

Dear Shareholder, We are pleased to present this Investment Manager’s report for the Fund for the period 1 January through 31 December 2020 (the “Reporting Period”). The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation by allocating assets among a variety of investment sub-advisers with experience managing non-traditional or “alternative” investment strategies

1. The Investment

Manager is responsible for selecting the strategies, for identifying and retaining Sub-Advisers with expertise in the selected strategies, and for determining the amount of Fund assets to allocate to each strategy and to each Sub-Adviser. The Investment Manager also manages a portion of the Fund’s assets directly

2.

Review of Fund Performance During the Reporting Period, the Fund generated a cumulative return, net of fees and expenses, in the Class I (USD) Accumulating share class of (6.80%)

3,4. For a summary of Fund performance of other share classes, please refer to Note 10 of

these audited annual financial statements. Over the same period, the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index returned 6.81%, the Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index returned 9.20%, and the MSCI World Total Return Index returned 16.50%

5.

Equity Equity strategies +1.00%

6 contributed positive performance over the Reporting Period.

In the first quarter of 2020, Equity strategies contributed positively to Fund performance against a materially negative global equity market backdrop. Exposure to quantitative Equity Market Neutral sub-strategies generated gains as increased volatility and a large market dislocation created opportunities to exploit mispricing in technical factors. These gains were partially offset by the performance of Equity Long Short sub-strategies, which were impacted by broad-based stock market de-risking, as both healthcare- and financials-focused exposures detracted from performance. Since mid-2017 we have hedged out residual equity beta in this portion of the portfolio via a short S&P 500 futures position, which also helped to mitigate losses in the first quarter. In the second quarter of 2020, Equity strategies produced slight gains as the Fund’s three sub-advisers who employ Equity Hedge strategies generated alpha amid heightened market volatility. Sub-advisers of Equity Market Neutral sub-strategies benefited from exposure to Financials, where the impacts of COVID-19 further accelerated the bifurcation of winners and losers in the sector. Equity Long Short sub-strategies also generated gains and benefited from exposure to a biopharmaceutical company that beat earnings and a managed care provider that hiked its dividend. Losses resulted from exposure to a retail pharmacy that faced headwinds due to the growing threat of e-commerce growth and a medical technology company that abandoned profit guidance for the remainder of the year due to pandemic-related uncertainty. The Fund’s beta-neutral positioning also detracted from Fund performance, as market hedges limited upside participation throughout the quarter. In the third quarter of 2020, Equity strategies were a slight detractor from performance. Losses were driven by Equity Market Neutral strategies, which experienced headwinds resulting from a reversal in volatility and momentum factors in August. These losses were partially offset by gains produced from Equity Long Short sub-strategies, which benefited from net long exposure to Healthcare. Within this portion of the portfolio, exposure to companies within the biotech and medical technology subsectors generated profits, led by a pharmaceutical company that reported record sales of a drug treating a rare autoimmune disease. Detractors were led by exposure to a medical technology company whose shares sold off in light of the market’s concern regarding a device recall, as well as exposure to Pan-Asia stocks, which traded down in concert with the U.S. market selloff.

1 There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its goals or avoid losses. 2 Blackstone Alternative Investment Advisors LLC (“BAIA”) manages a portion of the Fund’s assets directly. As of 31/12/2020, such investments included

allocations to structured notes providing exposure to commodity and equity capital markets strategies managed by third-party investment managers,

opportunistic trades and hedging. BAIA allocations are subject to change and BAIA’s fees on directly managed assets are not reduced by a payment to a sub-

adviser. 3 Class I (USD) Accumulating is the Fund’s share class with the longest track record that is currently open to new investors. Net performance for the Class I

(USD) Accumulating class, as well as indices, is from 1/1/2020 – 31/12/2020. 4 Fund performance is shown net of all fees and expenses. Past performance may not be a reliable guide to future performance. The value of Fund shares

may go down as well as up and there can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives or avoid significant losses. 5 The Fund is actively managed and uses the MSCI World Total Return Index, Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index and HFRX Global Hedge Fund

Index for performance comparison purposes only. While a proportion of the Fund's assets may be components of and have similar weightings to one or

more of the referenced indices, BAIA and the Sub-Advisers may use their discretion to invest a significant proportion of the Fund in assets which are not

included in, or with different weightings to, the indices.. Comparisons to indices have limitations because indices have risk profiles, volatility, asset

composition and other material characteristics that may differ from the Fund. The indices do not reflect the deduction of fees or expenses. In the case of

equity indices, performance of the indices reflects the reinvestment of dividends. There is no guarantee that the Fund's performance will match or exceed

any reference index. 6 Sub-strategy performance is shown gross of all fee and expenses. Performance attribution represents the contribution of each sub-strategy to the Fund’s

total return. Performance is estimated and unaudited.

Investment Manager's Report (continued)

Equity (continued) In the fourth quarter of 2020, Equity strategies remained flat. Exposure to Chinese equities were the leading contributor of gains, driven by robust Chinese growth and declines in the value of the U.S. Dollar. Both Equity Long Short and Equity Market Neutral sub-strategies were slight detractors from performance. Within Equity Long Short sub-strategies, gains were generated from exposure to a biopharmaceutical company following the approval of its coronavirus vaccine, but were more than offset by negative contributions from short biotechnology positions as prices in the sector climbed higher throughout the quarter. Similarly, Equity Market Neutral sub-strategies suffered from exposure to quantitative investment strategies that faced headwinds in November associated with a factor rotation that impacted growth and momentum stocks. However, exposure to Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) helped to offset the losses, as the increased probability of a post-vaccine world led to considerable price appreciation in COVID-impacted sectors, including travel, entertainment, and retail. Credit Credit strategies (4.87%)

6 detracted from performance over the Reporting Period.

In the first quarter of 2020, Credit strategies were the largest detractor from Fund performance. Prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, we observed the fundamental strength of the U.S. consumer relative to global corporations, and increased allocations in the Fund to collateralized securities such as Residential Mortgage Backed Securities (“RMBS”) and Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (“CMBS”) accordingly. Our credit portfolio was composed of what we believed to be high quality exposure to predominantly residential and commercial mortgages, with smaller exposure to loans and corporate credit. However, in the second half of March, we began to see forced unwinding from a variety of market participants, particularly in mortgages and other Fixed Income – Asset Backed exposures. Against this backdrop, the Fund’s exposure to RMBS and CMBS resulted in negative performance attribution. Driven by similar dynamics, our exposure to Credit Risk Transfer (“CRT”) bonds and debt securities tied to financial institutions also detracted from performance. In the second quarter of 2020, Credit strategies began to recoup losses and were the largest contributor to Fund performance as profits were bolstered by the improved performance of Fixed Income – Asset Backed sub-strategies. These sub-strategies bounced back, benefitting from capital formation and spread tightening. While the recovery was broad-based, we observed greater stabilization in residential mortgage markets, which were aided by reports of slowing loan forbearance growth, and less substantial price appreciation in commercial mortgages, where the government shutdown continued to weigh on corporate revenues. Meanwhile, certain Financials-related exposures continued to feel pain and demonstrated a slower speed of recovery. The performance of Distressed/Restructuring sub-strategies also rebounded in the second quarter. While the credit market dislocation resulted in mark-to-market pain for these sub-advisers, it also presented chances to purchase attractive assets at prices they believed represented discounts to fundamental value. Throughout the quarter, certain sub-advisers took advantage of opportunities to generate risk-adjusted returns in the stressed loan market, as a growing number of companies struggled to service debt and restructured existing financing arrangements. Gains were diverse across sectors, with notable contributions coming from exposure to loans to an automaker and an energy company. In the third quarter of 2020, Credit strategies were once again the largest contributor to Fund performance and benefited from positive returns generated by each sub-adviser. Fixed Income – Asset Backed sub-strategies continued their recovery from the Q1 selloff and were aided by continued spread tightening. Sub-advisers of these sub-strategies noted that prices in securities backed by residential mortgages had rebounded more than those backed by commercial mortgages, where COVID-related uncertainty had persisted and weighed on prices. Distressed/Restructuring sub-strategies also generated gains in the third quarter. Tailwinds associated with record levels of issuance and inflows in the high-yield debt market, as well as a growing number of companies experiencing financial distress, continued to present opportunities for sub-advisers to purchase assets they believe are undervalued throughout the quarter. Gains in this portion of the Fund were bolstered by exposure to loans to natural gas and cruise line companies, while losses resulted from exposure to a loan to a sporting gear company and bonds of a cosmetics company. In the fourth quarter of 2020, Credit strategies produced gains and benefited from positive returns generated by each sub-adviser. The Federal Reserve (“Fed”)’s commitment to a “lower-for-longer” interest rate environment continued to provide tailwinds for Fixed Income – Asset Backed sub-strategies, as bids for high-yielding securitized credit remained strong and facilitated further spread tightening. Distressed/Restructuring sub-strategies also generated gains. Profits came from exposure to the bonds of a cruise line company, which appreciated on positive news related to the development of a COVID-19 vaccine, as well as the bonds of a utility company after it made progress in restructuring its existing debt. Losses came from exposure to loans to a broadcasting company operating television and radio stations.

Multi-Asset Multi-Asset strategies +0.34%

6 contributed positively to performance over the Reporting Period.

In the first quarter of 2020, Multi-Asset strategies detracted from performance. Within this part of our portfolio, we have focused on allocating to sub-advisers and exposures that we believe are differentiated and could provide diversifying properties to the portfolio

7. While we liked the risk/return profile that we underwrote for certain emerging market (“EM”) credit exposures,

particularly in sovereign and quasi-sovereign bonds, developments throughout the quarter including declining oil prices and a wave of retail outflows from the sector resulted in a material drawdown. Elsewhere, we reduced our allocation to a risk parity strategy. As a reminder, risk parity strategies typically allocate capital across multiple asset classes by equalizing the risk contributions of each. While this can provide a meaningful source of diversification when negative correlations hold between these asset classes, the strategy can come under pressure when cross-asset correlations increase, as we saw in the first quarter. In the second quarter of 2020, Multi-Asset strategies produced gains and benefited from a notable recovery in the performance of Discretionary Thematic sub-strategies. Emerging market credit exposures generated gains throughout the quarter, as sovereign and quasi-sovereign bond prices appreciated due, in part, to broader risk appetite bolstered by investor optimism and the search for yield. Easing financial conditions and support from the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) also reduced refinancing risk for sovereign bonds, as interest rates in the US remained near-zero, LIBOR declined for three consecutive months and $250 billion of financial assistance was provided to 77 countries

8. Not to be outdone, aggressive actions from policy

makers, including central bank interest rate cuts (e.g. Mexico, Brazil) and government stimulus measures (e.g. Russia), provided further support for sovereign bonds. Multi-Strategy sub-strategies also produced gains. Exposure to units of Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”) of companies pursuing initial public offerings (“IPOs”) generated profits. Risk Arbitrage sub-strategies delivered mixed performance. These sub-strategies, which invest in mergers and acquisitions through long exposure to targets and short exposure to acquirers, produced gains in April and May before suffering losses in June. For the quarter, losses were led by pairs of theatre, luxury retail and insurance companies. In the third quarter of 2020, Multi-Asset strategies produced gains. Discretionary Thematic sub-strategies were accretive to performance and benefited from profits generated from exposure to emerging market sovereign bonds. These exposures benefited from price appreciation resulting from increased demand, as investors continued to search for available sources of yield in a market environment marked by low and, in some cases, negative central bank interest rate policies. Despite these gains, slight losses were incurred by exposure to Russian bonds amid unrest in Belarus and the poisoning of opposition leader Alexei Navalny. Multi-Strategy sub-strategies also produced gains. Exposure to strategies focused on SPACs benefited from the growing popularity of these vehicles as a favorable alternative to traditional routes of accessing public capital markets, however, these gains were partially offset by cross asset relative value exposures, where losses were incurred as a result of correlation breakdowns in equities and bonds. In the fourth quarter of 2020, Multi-Asset strategies were the largest contributor to Fund performance. Discretionary Thematic sub-strategies contributed positively to performance and benefited from exposure to emerging market sovereign bonds. Gains produced by these exposures were supported by the Fed’s announcement that its low interest rate policy would remain unchanged, with no rate-hikes projected until the end of 2023. Detractors included exposure to the sovereign bonds of a South American country, which were impacted by the government’s diminished foreign exchange reserves as it continued to grapple with economic turmoil in the wake of the pandemic. Exposure to SPACs continued to benefit from the growing prevalence of these IPO vehicles, which claimed over 50% of the IPO market in 2020

9. Risk Arbitrage strategies also contributed positively, as

the landscape for mergers and acquisitions improved throughout the quarter. Exposure to business combinations in the cinema and entertainment space produced gains but were partially offset by losses from deals involving pairs of energy and utility companies. Hedging exposures were also a mild detractor in the quarter, as risk assets rebounded significantly following a volatile September and October.

7 The Fund may shift allocations among strategies and sub-strategies at any time. Accordingly, the exposures are presented for illustrative purposes only and

should not be viewed as predictive of the ongoing composition of the Fund’s portfolio, which may change at any time. 8 Source: International Monetary Fund (“IMF”). As of July 2, 2020.

Sub-Advisers and Strategies Added/Removed At Blackstone, we believe that managing the optimal mix of strategies across the portfolio and adjusting it over time are key to generating returns in different market environments. Over the course of 2020, we added four new sub-advisers and terminated three sub-advisory relationships.

2020 Sub-Adviser Additions:

1. Shelter Growth (Shelter Growth Capital Partners LLC) is a credit-focused investment manager with a concentration on U.S. commercial and residential mortgage-related instruments and consumer linked products. Shelter Growth seeks to provide uncorrelated returns with low volatility through carry, trading gains and capital appreciation.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF BLACKSTONE ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT FUNDS PLC

Report on the audit of the financial statements Opinion on the financial statements of Blackstone Alternative Investment Funds plc (“the Company”) In our opinion the financial statements:

• give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities and financial position of the company as at 31 December 2020 and of the loss for the financial year then ended;

• have been properly prepared in accordance with the relevant financial reporting framework, the applicable Regulations and, in particular, with the requirements of the Companies Act 2014; and

• present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the company as of 31 December 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the relevant financial reporting framework.

The financial statements we have audited comprise:

• the Statement of Financial Position;

• the Statement of Comprehensive Income;

• the Statement of Changes in Net Assets attributable to holders of Redeemable Participating Shares;

• the Statement of Cash Flows;

• the related notes 1 to 20, including a summary of significant accounting policies as set out in note 3; and

• the Schedule of Investments. The relevant financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is the Companies Act 2014 and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (“the relevant financial reporting framework”) and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standard Board including a reconciliation to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The applicable regulations that have been applied in their preparation is the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations, 2011 and “The Central Bank (Supervision and Enforcement) Act 2013 (Section 48(1)) (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations 2019” (“the applicable Regulations”). Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (Ireland) (ISAs (Ireland)), auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAS”) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are described below in the “Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements” section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Ireland, including the Ethical Standard issued by the Irish Auditing and Accounting Supervisory Authority, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Conclusions relating to going concern In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF BLACKSTONE ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT FUNDS PLC

Other information The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of directors As explained more fully in the Directors’ Report and Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view and otherwise comply with the Companies Act 2014, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with IFRS including a reconciliation to US GAAP; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with either ISAs (Ireland) or US GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. As part of our audit in accordance with ISAs (Ireland) and US GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF

BLACKSTONE ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT FUNDS PLC

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors and management as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of the auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the entity (or where relevant, the group) to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that the auditor identifies during the audit. Report on other legal and regulatory requirements Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2014 Based solely on the work undertaken in the course of the audit, we report that:

• We have obtained all the information and explanations which we consider necessary for the purposes of our audit.

• In our opinion the accounting records of the company were sufficient to permit the financial statements to be readily and properly audited.

• The financial statements are in agreement with the accounting records.

• In our opinion the information given in the directors’ report is consistent with the financial statements and the directors’ report has been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2014.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception Based on the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors' report. We have nothing to report in respect of the provisions in the Companies Act 2014 which require us to report to you if, in our opinion, the disclosures of directors’ remuneration and transactions specified by law are not made. Use of our report This report is made solely to the company’s shareholders, as a body, in accordance with Section 391 of the Companies Act 2014. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company’s shareholders those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company’s shareholders as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2020

Note 1. Organisation The Company is an open-ended investment company organised under the laws of Ireland as a public limited company pursuant to the Companies Act 2014 and the UCITS Regulations as an umbrella company with variable capital and segregated liability between sub-funds. The Company was incorporated on 13 May 2014 and was authorised by the Central Bank on 15 July 2014 as an undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities. The Company has obtained approval of the Central Bank for the establishment of the initial sub-fund, the Blackstone Diversified Multi-Strategy Fund, which commenced operations on 11 August 2014. The objective of the Fund is to seek capital appreciation. The Investment Manager seeks to achieve the Fund's objective by allocating its assets among a variety of discretionary and non-discretionary Sub-Advisers with experience managing and/or advising on non-traditional or “alternative” investment strategies. The Investment Manager of the Company and the Fund is Blackstone Alternative Investment Advisors LLC. Note 2. Basis of presentation (a) Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with European Union (“EU”) endorsed International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and the Companies Act 2014 as applicable to companies reporting under IFRS and the UCITS Regulations. Below are the significant accounting and reporting policies adopted by the Company. (b) Basis of preparation The financial statements of the Company are presented in the functional currency of the Fund, the U.S. Dollar (“USD”). These financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, which have been measured at fair value. The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Company. (c) Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions. It also requires the Board to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. Note 3. Significant accounting policies (a) Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (i) Classification The Company has classified its investments into financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss category in accordance with IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” (“IFRS 9”). (ii) Recognition The Company recognises financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. They are recognised initially on the trade date at which the Company becomes a party to contracted provisions of the instruments. From this date any gains and losses arising from changes in fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities are recorded in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Other financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the date they are originated. (iii) Derecognition A financial asset is derecognised when there is no longer control over the contractual rights that comprise that asset. This occurs when the rights are realised, expire or are surrendered. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished or when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The specific identification method is used to determine realised gains and losses on derecognition. On derecognition, the difference between the carrying amount and consideration received is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. (iv) Initial measurement Financial instruments categorised at fair value through profit or loss are recognised initially at fair value, with transaction costs for such instruments being recognised directly in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Financial liabilities, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, are recognised initially at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition or issue. (v) Subsequent measurement After initial measurement, the Company measures financial instruments which are classified at fair value through profit or loss, at their fair values. Changes in the fair value recognised are recorded in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

19

Note 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) (a) Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (continued) (vi) Determination of fair value

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (i.e. an exit price) regardless of whether the price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. The Valuation Point of the Fund is as of the close of regular trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (normally 4:00 pm (New York Time)) on each Dealing Day. If market quotations are not readily available (or are otherwise not reliable for a particular investment), the fair value will be determined in good faith by the Investment Manager, and such determinations shall be reported to the Board. Due to the inherent uncertainty of these estimates, estimates of fair value may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market for these investments existed and the differences could be material. Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/ask information, or broker-dealer quotations), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of the NYSE, that materially affect the values of each of the investments. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which securities trade do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to the Investment Manager, as a competent person appointed by the Board and approved for such purpose by the Depositary, the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of investments and for determining whether the value of the applicable investments should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events. There were no instances of such determinations made as at 31 December 2020 or 31 December 2019 (other than adjustments based on factors for certain non-U.S. equity securities as described below under “Exchange-Traded Securities”). Exchange Traded Securities Equity securities, including common stocks, listed preferred stock, exchange-traded funds, and financial derivative instruments such as futures contracts and option contracts, that are traded on a regulated market or on the NASDAQ Global Market System (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the last reported sales price, official settlement price, or the NASDAQ official closing prices, as applicable. For securities traded on more than one exchange, the last reported sales price on the primary exchanges is used. To the extent these securities and financial derivative instruments are actively traded and adjustments are not applied, they are categorised as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. The Company may use a third-party fair valuation service provider to value non-U.S. equity securities that are primarily traded outside of North and South America. The third-party fair valuation service provider calculates a factor (“Fair Value Factor”) that is applied to adjust the last price of each such security in the event that there is movement in excess of a specified trigger (“Fair Value Trigger”) as measured by the movement between the prior close and the current close of the U.S. market. Non-U.S. equities for which the last price has been adjusted by such factor will generally be categorised as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Futures The Fund may enter into futures contracts (“futures”) and may engage in a variety of transactions involving the use of futures. In the ordinary course, the Fund may be exposed to fluctuations in equity prices, interest rates, commodity prices and foreign currency exchange rates. Futures contracts are standardised agreements to buy or sell a security, or deliver a final cash settlement price in connection with an index, interest rate, currency, or other asset. A Fund must deposit an amount (“initial margin”) equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the futures contract. The initial margin may be in the form of cash or securities which is returned when the Fund’s obligations under the contract have been satisfied. If cash is deposited as the initial margin, it is classified within due to/from broker on the Statement of Financial Position. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by the Fund depending on whether unrealised gains or losses are incurred. When the contract is closed or expires, the Fund records a realised gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Options Contracts The Fund may purchase and write call and put options. An option contract purchased by the Fund gives the Fund the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call) or sell (put) an underlying instrument at a fixed exercise price during a specified period. Call options written by the Fund gives the holder the right to buy the underlying instrument from the Fund at a fixed exercise price; put options written by the Fund gives the holder the right to sell the underlying instrument to the Fund at a fixed exercise price. Purchases of put and call options are recorded as investments, the value of which are marked-to-market daily. When a purchased option expires without being exercised, the Fund will realise a loss equal to the premium paid. When a Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, the Fund will realise a gain or loss depending on whether the sales proceeds from the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the premium initially paid for the option. When a Fund exercises a put option, it will realise a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying instrument and the proceeds from such sale will be decreased by the premium originally paid for the put option. When a Fund exercises a call option, the cost of the security which the Fund purchases upon exercise will be increased by the premium originally paid for the call option.

Note 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) (a) Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (continued) (vi) Determination of fair value (continued)

Options Contracts (continued) The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset and an equivalent liability. When a written option expires without being exercised or a Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realises a gain (or loss if the cost of the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was sold) without regard to any unrealised gain or loss on the underlying instrument and the liability related to such option is eliminated. When a written call option is exercised, the Fund realises a gain or loss, as adjusted for the premium received, from the sale of the underlying instrument. When a written put option is exercised, the premium received is offset against the amount paid for the purchase of the underlying instrument. Over-the-Counter Market (“OTC”) Financial Derivative Instruments Financial derivative instruments, such as forward foreign currency exchange contracts, OTC options contracts, or swap agreements, derive their value from underlying referenced instruments or obligations, indices, reference rates, and other inputs or a combination of these factors. These instruments are normally valued by pricing service providers or based on broker-dealer quotations. Depending on the product and the terms of the transaction, the value of financial derivative instruments can be estimated by a pricing service provider using a series of techniques, including simulation pricing models. The pricing models use inputs that are observed from actively quoted markets such as issuer details, indices, spreads, interest rates, yield curves, dividends and exchange rates. Financial derivative instruments that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are categorised as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Centrally cleared swaps listed or traded on a multilateral or trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange, are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the respective exchange. For centrally cleared credit default swaps the clearing facility requires its members to provide actionable levels across complete term structures. These levels along with external third-party prices are used to produce daily settlement prices. Centrally cleared interest rate swaps are valued using a pricing model that references the underlying rates to produce the daily settlement price. These securities are categorised as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of financial derivative instruments is reconciled to counterparty valuation statements on a daily basis. Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are over-the-counter agreements between two parties to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed upon price on an agreed upon future date. The fair value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with the changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These contracts are valued daily and the change in fair value is recorded as an unrealised gain or loss on forward foreign currency exchange contracts. Where a forward foreign currency exchange contract is purchased to hedge currency risk of a specific class which is issued in a currency other than the measurement currency of the Company, all gains and losses on the forward foreign currency exchange contract are allocated to that specific class. When a contract is closed, the Fund recognises a realised gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Swap Agreements The Fund may enter into total return, interest rate, cross currency and credit default swap agreements (“swaps”). Swaps are bilaterally negotiated agreements between the Fund and a counterparty in which the Fund and counterparty agree to make either periodic net payments on a specified notional amount or a net payment upon termination. Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market or may be executed in a multilateral or other trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange (“centrally cleared swaps”). In connection with these agreements, securities or cash (“segregated cash” or “collateral”) may be paid or received, as applicable, by the Fund as collateral or margin in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency. Interest Rate Swaps: The Fund may enter into OTC and/or centrally cleared interest rate swap contracts. The Fund is subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Fund may hold fixed rate bonds, and the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one party pays a stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating rate, for another party’s stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating, on the same notional amount for a specified period of time. Interest rate swaps can be purchased or sold with an upfront premium. Upfront payments received and paid by a Fund are reflected in the fair value of swap contracts on the Statement of Financial Position. Interest rate swaps are marked-to-market daily and any change is recorded as an unrealised gain or loss on swaps. Payments, including upfront premiums, received or made are recorded as realised gains or losses at the closing of the contract.

Over-the-Counter Market (“OTC”) Financial Derivative Instruments (continued) Swap Agreements (continued) Total Return Swaps: The Fund may enter into total return swap agreements to obtain exposure to a security, referenced portfolio of securities, index or market without owning such security or investing directly in that security, index or market or to transfer the risk/return of one market (e.g., fixed income) to another market (e.g., equity) (equity risk and/or interest rate risk). Total return swaps are agreements in which one party agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in market value of the underlying instrument, which may include a specified security, index, basket/portfolio of securities or securities indices during the specific period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or floating rate or the total return from other underlying assets. To the extent the total return of the instrument underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. Total return swaps can also be structured without an interest payment, so that one party pays the other party if the value of the underlying instrument increases and receives payment from the other party if the value of the underlying asset decreases. Credit Default Swaps: In an OTC credit default swap contract, the protection buyer typically makes an upfront payment and a periodic stream of payments to counterparty, the protection seller, in exchange for the right to receive a contingent payment upon the occurrence of a credit event on the reference obligation or all other equally ranked obligations of the reference entity. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructurings and obligation acceleration. Upfront payments received and paid by a Fund are reflected in the fair value of swap contracts on the Statement of Financial Position. Periodic payments received or paid by the Fund are recorded as realised gains or losses. Credit default swaps are marked to market daily and the change is recorded as an unrealised gain or loss on swaps. Upon the occurrence of a credit event, the difference between the par value and the market value of the reference obligation, net of any proportional amount of upfront payment, is recorded as a realised gain or loss on swaps. To Be Announced Securities (“TBAs”): The Fund may transact in TBAs. A seller agrees to issue TBAs at a future date. However, the seller does not specify the particular securities to be delivered. Instead, the Fund agrees to accept any security that meets specified terms such as issuer, interest rate and terms of underlying mortgages. The Fund records TBAs on the trade date utilising information associated with the specified terms of the transaction as opposed to the specific mortgages. TBAs are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur due to the fact that the actual underlying mortgages received may be less favorable than those anticipated by the Fund. Interest rate swaps, total return swaps, cross currency swaps, credit default swaps and TBAs outstanding at the financial year end are listed in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments. Fixed Income Investments Fixed income securities, including corporate and convertible bonds, U.S. Treasury obligations, sovereign debt obligations, bank loans and trade claims, are normally valued by pricing service providers on the basis of last available bid price. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing service providers may use broker-dealer quotations, reported trades or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models to determine the reported price. The pricing service providers’ internal models use observable inputs such as issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, credit risks/spreads and quoted prices for similar assets. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are categorised as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities (“ABS”) are usually issued as separate tranches, or classes, of securities within each deal. These securities are also normally valued by pricing service providers that use broker-dealer quotations or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models. The pricing models for these securities usually consider tranche-level attributes, current market data, estimated cash flows and market-based yield spreads for each tranche, prepayment spreads, default rates and incorporate deal collateral performance, as available. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are categorised as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Structured notes Structured notes seek to generate income and provide exposure to the performance of an underlying security, group of securities or exchange-traded funds (the “underlying reference instrument”). In a structured note, a fund purchases a note from a bank or broker-dealer and in return, the issuer provides for interest payments during the term of the note. The use of structured notes involves the risk that the value of the note changes unfavorably due to movements in the value of the underlying reference instrument.

Note 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) (a) Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (continued) (vii) Securities purchased under agreement to resell

The Company may enter into repurchase agreements for efficient portfolio management, subject to conditions and limits set out in the Central Bank Regulations. Repurchase agreements are generally accounted for as collateralised financing transactions and may be recorded at their contractual resell amounts. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Company takes possession of securities purchased from a counterparty in a repurchase agreement with a contractual obligation to resell the same securities at an agreed upon price and date. Repurchase agreements are subject to the terms of a master repurchase agreement (the “MRA”). A MRA contains provisions for, among other things, initiation, income payments, events of default and maintenance of securities. A MRA also permits offsetting with collateral to create one single net payment in the event of default or similar events, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of a counterparty. Entering into repurchase agreements entails certain risks, which includes the risk that the counterparty to the repurchase agreement may not be able to fulfil its obligations, that the parties may disagree as to the meaning or application of contractual terms, or that the instrument may not perform as expected. Generally the Investment Manager seeks to mitigate this risk by ensuring that the counterparty to a repurchase agreement has a minimum credit rating of A-2 or equivalent and that the Fund has ability at any time to recall any securities subject to the repurchase contract or terminate the repurchase contract into which it has entered. (viii) Offsetting financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are not offset and are presented on a gross basis in the Statement of Financial Position. The Fund holds master netting or similar agreements with its counterparties. The Fund considers that it has a current legally enforceable right to set-off certain recognised amounts as further described in Note 6 to the financial statements. (b) Foreign currency transactions Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of the Fund is the U.S. Dollar. Items included in the Fund’s financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (the “functional currency”), as the majority of the Fund's investments are held in U.S. Dollar. The Fund has adopted its functional currency as the presentation currency. Transactions and balances Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of financial year end exchange rates of monetary items and non-monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the financial year in which they arise. Foreign exchange gains and losses on financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised together with other changes in fair value. Net foreign exchange gains/(losses) on non-monetary and monetary financial assets and financial liabilities other than those classified at fair value through profit or loss are included in the line item net (loss)/gain on foreign exchange in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. (c) Cash and cash equivalents Cash at bank, if any, includes cash in hand held by the Depositary. The Company considers short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. As at 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019, the Fund had no balances related to cash equivalents.

(e) Receivable for investments sold and payable for investments purchased Receivable for investments sold and payable for investments purchased represents amounts receivable and payable respectively, for transactions contracted for but for which settlement has not occurred at the end of the financial year. (f) Redeemable participating shares All redeemable participating shares issued by the Fund provide the investors with the right to require redemption for cash at the value proportionate to the investor’s share in the Fund’s net assets at the redemption date. In accordance with IAS 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation” such instruments give rise to a financial liability for the present value of the redemption amount. (g) Interest income and expense Interest income and expense is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as it accrues, on an effective interest rate basis. (h) Dividend income

Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within dividends when the Fund’s right to receive payments is established. This will generally be the ex-dividend date or, for certain securities, when notified. Dividend income is recognised gross of withholding tax, if any. (i) Expenses All expenses, including investment management fees, administration fees and depositary fees, are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on an accrual basis.

Note 3. Significant accounting policies (continued) (j) Anti-dilution levy In calculating the subscription/redemption price for shares, the Company may, in the Company's reasonable discretion, on any Dealing Day on which there are net subscriptions/redemptions that result in a Fund incurring dealing costs, adjust the subscription/redemption price for the Fund by adding/deducting an anti-dilution levy of up to 2.50% of the Net Asset Value (“NAV”) per Share to cover dealing costs and to preserve the value of the underlying assets of the Fund. Any anti-dilution levy will be retained by the Fund. No anti-dilution levy was applied for the financial years ended 31 December 2020 or 31 December 2019. (k) Distributions Distributions proposed and approved by the Board subsequent to the financial year end are not recognised as a liability at the financial year end date. Distributions are recognised in the financial year that they are declared and paid by the Board. During the financial year ended 31 December 2020, the Board declared and paid a distribution of USD9,663,157 on the Class I (GBP) Distributing, Class I (USD) Distributing share class and Class A (EUR) Distributing share class. During the financial year ended 31 December 2019, the Board declared and paid a distribution of USD5,921,615 on the Class I (GBP) Distributing, Class I (USD) Distributing share class and Class A (EUR) Distributing share class. (l) Transaction costs Transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of a financial asset or financial liability. An incremental cost is one that would not have been incurred if the entity had not acquired, issued or disposed of the financial instrument. When a financial asset or financial liability is recognised initially, an entity shall measure it at its fair value through profit or loss including transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or financial liability. Transaction costs on the purchases and sales of fixed income securities, swaps and forward foreign currency exchange contracts are included in the purchase and sale price of the investment. They are embedded in the cost of the investment and cannot be separately verified or disclosed. Transaction costs on purchases and sales of equities, options and futures contracts are included in net gain/(loss) from investments in securities included in financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and net (loss) from financial derivative instruments included in financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Depositary transaction costs are included in depositary fees in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. The total transaction costs incurred by the Fund during the financial year are disclosed in Note 11. Depositary transaction costs include transaction costs paid to the Depositary. Purchase and sales transaction costs include identifiable brokerage charges, commissions, transaction-related taxes and other market charges. (m) New standards, amendments and interpretations issued and effective for the financial year beginning 1 January

2020 There are no new standards, amendments or interpretations issued and effective for the financial year beginning 1 January 2020 that have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, performance or disclosures in its financial statements. (n) New standards, amendments and interpretations issued but not effective for the financial year beginning 1

January 2020 and not early adopted IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” was issued in May 2017 and will become effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. It applies to: insurance contracts, including reinsurance contracts, issued by an entity; reinsurance contracts held by an entity; and investment contracts with discretionary participation features issued by an entity that issues insurance contracts. An insurance contract is defined as ‘a contract under which one party (the issuer) accepts significant insurance risk from another party (the policyholder) by agreeing to compensate the policyholder if a specified uncertain future event (the insured event) adversely affects the policyholder’. The new standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, performance or disclosures in its financial statements. There are no other standards, interpretations or amendments to existing standards that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a significant impact on the Company.

Note 4. Taxation Under current law and practice the Company and the Fund each qualify as an investment undertaking as defined in Section 739B of the Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997, as amended. On that basis, it is not generally chargeable to Irish tax on its income and gains. However, Irish tax may arise on the happening of a “chargeable event”. A chargeable event includes any distribution payments to shareholders or any encashment, redemption, cancellation or transfer of shares, or the holding of shares at the end of each eight year period beginning with the acquisition of such shares. No Irish tax will arise on the Company in respect of chargeable events in respect of: 1) a shareholder who is neither Irish resident nor ordinarily resident in Ireland for tax purposes, at the time of the chargeable

event, provided appropriate valid declarations in accordance with the provisions of the Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997, as amended, are held by the Company, or the Company has been authorised by the Irish Revenue Commissioners to make gross payments in the absence of appropriate declarations; and

2) certain exempted Irish tax resident shareholders who have provided the Company with the necessary signed statutory declarations.

Dividends, interest and capital gains (if any) received on investments made by the Company/Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by the country from which the investments income/gains are received, and such taxes may not be recoverable by the Company or the Fund and its shareholders. Note 5. Financial derivative instruments and efficient portfolio management

The Investment Manager may, on behalf of the Fund and subject to the conditions and limits set out in the UCITS Regulations, the Central Bank Regulations and the Fund’s investment objective and policies as outlined in the Prospectus, employ certain investment management techniques. Such techniques may be used for investment purposes and efficient portfolio management purposes, for example: (i) for the purposes of hedging against market movements, currency exchange, interest rate or other risks; and/or (ii) to enhance the performance of the Fund’s portfolio of investments. Techniques and instruments used may include trading in financial derivative instruments (such as futures, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, options contracts, swap agreements) and repurchase agreements. The gains and losses associated with the financial derivative instruments are included within net gain/(loss) from financial derivative instruments included in financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, while the interest associated with the repurchase agreements are included within net gain/(loss) from investments in securities included in financial assets at fair value through profit or loss in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Details regarding the exposure obtained through financial derivative instruments and repurchase agreements are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments. The counterparties to the financial derivative instruments and repurchase agreements are also identified on the Schedule of Investments. The Fund receives cash collateral to reduce counterparty exposure which is classified as due from broker in the Statement of Financial Position.

Note 6. Financial instruments and associated risks In the normal course of business, the Fund may engage in investment activity that is subject to certain inherent risks, such as market price risk, credit and counterparty risk, foreign investment risk, and liquidity risk. Additional risks associated with each type of investment are described within the respective security type in the discussion of financial derivative instruments and efficient portfolio management in the Company’s Prospectus. Value at Risk (“VaR”)

The Investment Manager uses an absolute VAR methodology to measure the Fund’s global exposure and to monitor and manage the Fund’s market risk volatility. The Investment Manager calculates VaR at a 99% one-tailed confidence level for a one month holding period (20 business days) using the Monte Carlo model based on historical data. Generally, historical data is based on an observation period of 1 year (250 business days); however, a shorter observation period may be justified by a significant increase in price volatility (for instance, extreme market conditions). The maximum one-month VaR is set at 20% of the Fund’s NAV. As at 31 December 2020, the Fund’s portfolio VaR was 4.60% (31 December 2019: 2.21%). For the financial year ended 31 December 2020, the lowest, highest and average VaR limit utilised was 1.80%, 5.90% and 3.40%, (31 December 2019: 1.56%, 3.57% and 2.92%) respectively. As at 31 December 2020, the level of leverage is 246.24% (31 December 2019: 202.80%) of the Fund’s NAV. The level of leverage is calculated using the sum of the notionals of the Fund’s derivative instruments and does not reflect any netting or hedging arrangements the Fund may have in place and therefore is not intended to be indicative of the risk profile of the Fund, rather just a factor that is considered by the Investment Manager when managing the portfolio. There are inherent limitations to the VaR. There is no guarantee that future market price movements, correlations between markets and levels of market liquidity in conditions of market stress will be consistent with historical patterns and future market conditions could vary significantly from those experienced in the past. Further, market price risk information is a relative estimate of risk rather than a precise and accurate number and represents a hypothetical outcome and is not intended to be predictive. Market Price Risk In the normal course of business, the Fund invests in securities and enters into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk including price risk, foreign currency risk, and interest rate risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (credit and counterparty risk). The value of securities held by the Fund may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Fund; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. The maximum risk resulting from financial instruments, except for written options and forward foreign currency exchange contracts, equals their fair value. The maximum loss of capital on forward foreign currency exchange contracts is limited to the notional contract values of those positions. With written options, the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavourable change in the price of the security underlying the option. Exercise of an option written by the Fund could result in the Company selling or buying a security at a price significantly different from its fair value. Concentration risk The significant concentration of the Fund's investments to particular countries based on the Funds asset portfolio is disclosed in the following tables, as at 31 December 2020 and as at 31 December 2019. Asset classifications are based on the domicile of the portfolio only.

Note 6. Financial instruments and associated risks Interest Rate Risk This is defined as the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company's interest-bearing financial instruments are subject to varying degrees of interest rate risk depending on if they have fixed interest rates or floating interest rates. Floating interest rate instruments are more susceptible to this risk since the rate is changing with market rates. The Company's assets and liabilities that are non-interest bearing have very limited exposure to this risk type. The Investment Manager manages its interest rate risk by having a balanced portfolio of fixed rate, floating rate and non-interest bearing financial instruments and monitors the interest rate risk exposure on a periodic basis through reporting from the Fund Administrator. The interest profile of the Company's financial assets and liabilities as at 31 December 2020 was:

Financial Liabilities (10,070,982) (4,926,864) (42,615,115) (57,612,961) Credit and Counterparty Risk The Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions may default. The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial statements. Financial assets that potentially expose the Fund to credit and counterparty risk consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Fund manages counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honour their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. The Investment Manager attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by (i) periodically assessing the creditworthiness of its trading partners, (ii) monitoring and/or limiting the amount of its net exposure to each individual counterparty based on its assessment and (iii) requiring collateral from the counterparty for certain transactions. In order to preserve certain safeguards for non- standard settlement trades, the Fund restricts exposure to credit and counterparty losses by entering into a MNA with counterparties with whom they undertake a significant volume of transactions. Collateral requirements may differ by type of financial derivative instrument or other financial transaction, as applicable. Collateral or margin requirements are set by the broker or exchange clearing house for exchange traded derivatives (e.g., futures contracts and exchange traded options) while collateral terms are contract specific for over-the-counter traded derivatives (e.g., forward foreign currency exchange contracts, swap agreements and over-the-counter options). For financial derivative instruments traded under an ISDA master agreement or similar master agreement, the collateral requirements may be netted across all transactions traded under such agreement and certain counterparties may allow one amount to be posted from one party to the other to collateralise such obligations. The ISDA master agreement gives each party to the agreement the right to terminate all transactions traded under such agreement if there is a certain deterioration in the credit quality of the other party. The ISDA master agreement gives the Fund the right, upon an event of default by the applicable counterparty or a termination of the agreement, to close out all transactions traded under such agreement and may permit net amounts owed under each transaction to be netted to derive one net amount payable by one party to the other. This right to close out and net payments across all transactions traded under the ISDA master agreement could result in a reduction of the Fund’s credit risk to such counterparty equal to any amounts payable by the Fund under the applicable transactions, if any. The enforceability of the right to offset may vary by jurisdiction. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchanges’ clearing house, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.

Note 6. Financial instruments and associated risks (continued) Credit and Counterparty Risk (continued) As at 31 December 2020, cash held by the Fund and investments in securities are held with the Depositary. The Fund’s assets are separately identified on the books and records of the Depositary and any appointed sub-custodian. Therefore the rights with respect to those assets should be segregated and protected. However, bankruptcy or insolvency of the Depositary or any sub-custodian may cause access to the Fund’s assets to be delayed. As at 31 December 2020, the Depositary had a credit rating of Aa2 (31 December 2019: Aa2) using the higher of S&P’s or Moody’s ratings.

The Fund is subject to credit risk by investing in fixed income securities such as corporate and convertible bonds, U.S. Treasury obligations, sovereign debt obligations, bank debt, and trade claims.

Foreign Currency and Investment Risk

The investments in foreign securities may involve risks not present in U.S. investments. Since securities may be denominated in foreign currencies, require settlement in foreign currencies and pay interest or dividends in foreign currencies, changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of the Fund. Foreign investments may also subject the Fund to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the investments. See the Fund’s Schedule of Investments for a summary of the Fund’s investments by geographical region and non-USD denominated securities. Please refer to the Note 16 for a listing of exchange rates as at 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019. Liquidity Risk The Fund may encounter liquidity risk in which the Fund may have difficulty meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivery cash or another financial asset. Exposure to liquidity risk arises because of the possibility that the Fund could be required to pay its liabilities or redeem its shares earlier than expected. The Investment Manager monitors liquidity at the Fund level and at the Sub-Adviser level on a daily basis and conducts regular stress tests and scenario analyses of the portfolio. The Company is exposed to cash redemptions of its redeemable participating shares on a regular basis. Shares are redeemable on each Dealing Day. If redemption requests on any Dealing Day exceed 10% of the NAV of a Fund, the Company, may defer the excess redemptions requests to subsequent Dealing Days and shall redeem such shares rateably.

Risk assessment

Following Brexit, a new Trade and Cooperation Agreement (the “TCA”) between the U.K. and the EU was announced on December 24, 2020. The TCA addresses, among other things, trade in goods and the ability of U.K. nationals to travel to the EU on business, but does not address substantive future cooperation with respect to financial services or reciprocal market access under so-called “equivalence” arrangements. In addition, U.K. service suppliers no longer benefit from automatic access to the entire EU single market and free movement of goods is subject to increased bureaucracy. Although the TCA contains provisions on short-term business visits without visas or work permits, these are unlikely to cover provision of services and free movement between the EU and the U.K. The loss of these benefits, together with the ongoing uncertainty with respect to financial services under the TCA, could impact the attractiveness of the U.K. as a global business and financial center. Although the long-term impact of such changes, and of Brexit more broadly, is uncertain, Brexit may have an adverse effect on the rate of economic growth in the U.K. and Europe, which may negatively impact asset values in those regions. In addition, given the size and global significance of the U.K.’s economy, ongoing uncertainty regarding its political and economic relationships with Europe may continue to be a source of instability in markets outside of the U.K. and Europe.

Brexit has impacted Blackstone’s European operations. The main impact has been on Blackstone’s ability to market its products and services in the European Economic Area (“EEA”). Following Brexit, Blackstone’s U.K. subsidiary (BGIP) lost its ability to passport its services into the EEA meaning it cannot market its products and services or conduct other regulated activity in EEA countries unless it has obtained a cross border license or can operate pursuant to a licensing exemption. In jurisdictions where BGIP cannot offer products or services, Blackstone has transferred activities to its regulated European subsidiaries. These post-Brexit arrangements are complex and have resulted in increased operational and compliance burdens for Blackstone.

Note 7. Fair value hierarchy

The Company measures fair values using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1 Quoted market price in an active market for an identical instrument. Level 2 Valuation techniques based on observable inputs. This category includes instruments valued using:

quoted market prices in active markets for similar instruments; quoted prices for similar instruments in markets that are considered less than active; or other valuation techniques where all significant inputs are directly or indirectly observable from market data.

Level 3 Valuation techniques using significant unobservable inputs. This category includes all instruments where

the valuation technique includes inputs not based on observable data and the unobservable inputs could have a significant impact on the instrument’s valuation. This category includes instruments that are valued based on quoted prices for similar instruments where significant unobservable adjustments or assumptions are required to reflect differences between the instruments.

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the financial asset or liability is categorised in its entirety is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgement, considering factors specific to the asset or liability.

The determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgement by the Company. The Company considers observable data to be that market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market. Broker quotes are classified as Level 2 holdings because the inputs into the price supplied by the brokers are observable and may include recent trades, interest rates, yields and credit spreads. The Investment Manager reviews the prices independently recorded as broker quotes and ensures that they are in accordance with fair value. For each class of assets and liabilities not measured at fair value in the Statement of Financial Position but for which fair value is disclosed, IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement” requires the Company to disclose the level within the fair value hierarchy which the fair value measurement would be categorised and a description of the valuation technique and inputs used in the technique.

Assets and liabilities not carried at fair value are carried at amortised cost, their carrying values being reasonable approximations of fair value. Cash and cash held at broker include deposits held with banks and other short-term investments in an active market and are categorised as Level 1. Receivable for investments sold and other assets include the contractual amounts for settlement of trades and other obligations due to the Company. Payable for investments purchased and other payables represent the contractual amounts and obligations due by the Company for settlement of trades and other obligations due by the Company for settlement of trades and expenses. All of the receivable and payable balances are categorised as Level 2. Transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred if the pricing source has changed at financial year end. There were transfers for USD9,764,976 between Level 1 and Level 2 during the financial year. Transfers into and out of Level 3 were primarily related to an update to the valuation methodology that is based on the availability of observable inputs. At the financial year end no Fair Value Factor was applied as price movement did not meet the Fair Value Trigger.

Authorised The authorised share capital of the Company is 500 billion shares of no par value to be issued at the Net Asset Value per Share on such terms as the Directors may deem fit. As at the financial year ended 31 December 2020, the Directors have authorised and issued 300,002 Subscriber Shares of no par value. Subscriber Shares do not participate in the dividends or assets of any sub-fund.

Fund attributable to the relevant class in respect of which they are issued; and

• each of the shares entitles the holder to attend and vote at meetings of the Company and of the Fund represented by those

shares. No class of share confers on the holder any preferential or pre-emptive rights to participate in the profits and

distributions of any other class of shares or any voting rights in relation to matters relating solely to any other class of shares.

Note 11. Fees

Investment management fees Under the Investment Management Agreement, the Fund will pay the Investment Manager an investment management and distribution fee (the “Investment Management Fee”), which is calculated and accrued on each Dealing Day based on the average daily NAV of the relevant class. The Investment Management Fee is payable quarterly in arrears.

The Investment Management Fee rates for each active share class as at 31 December 2020 is 1.95% for the Class A shares, 1.40% for the Class I shares and 1.75% for the Class C shares.

In addition, the Investment Manager shall be entitled to be reimbursed certain reasonably vouched out-of-pocket expenses.

Performance fees Under the Investment Management Agreement, the Fund will pay to the Investment Manager a performance fee (the “Performance Fee”) annually in arrears within 45 calendar days of the end of each Performance Period. The Performance Period is defined as the financial year beginning on 1 January and ending on 31 December of each financial year, with the exception of the first Performance Period for a class, which will begin upon the initial issue of shares in that class. The Performance Fee (if any) will accrue each Dealing Day based on the New Net Appreciation of the relevant class.

New Net Appreciation represents the excess, if any, of the positive performance of a class during a Performance Period over any “loss carry forward” applicable at the start of such financial year, adjusted daily for investor redemptions during that financial year. The Performance Fee rate in operation for active classes as at 31 December 2020 is 15.00%.

No equalisation methodology is employed in respect of the Performance Fee calculation. As such, the methodology used in the calculation may result in inequalities between investors in relation to the payment of Performance Fees and may also result in certain investors having more of their capital at risk at any time than others.

Note 11. Fees (continued)

Under the sub-advisory agreements between the Investment Manager and each Sub-Adviser, the Investment Manager will pay to the Sub-Adviser an investment management fee and/or a performance fee.

If, as at the end of any Performance Period, the sum of all the Sub-Advisers’ performance fees payable in respect of a Performance Period exceeds the Performance Fee payable to the Investment Manager, the Fund will pay an Additional Performance Fee to the Investment Manager which shall, in turn, remit the Additional Performance Fee to the relevant Sub-Adviser to cover this shortfall. Any such Additional Performance Fee paid by the Fund will be deducted from the Investment Manager’s Performance Fee before the payment to the Investment Manager in subsequent Performance Periods provided that upon a redemption, the amount of the Additional Performance Fee to be deducted from the Investment Manager’s performance fee in subsequent Performance Periods shall be decreased by an amount proportionate to the percentage of outstanding Shares redeemed in the relevant Class.

Performance Fees of USD1,386,638 have been charged to the Fund during the financial year ended 31 December 2020 (31 December 2019: USD11,323,926). As at 31 December 2020, USD1,389,370 (31 December 2019: USD11,619,682) was still outstanding. Sub-Adviser fees Pursuant to the sub-advisory agreements between the Investment Manager and the Sub-Advisers, the Sub-Advisers are compensated for the services they provide to the Fund by the Investment Manager from the Investment Management Fee and/or the Performance Fees, including the Additional Performance Fee (if any), that the Investment Manager receives from the Fund. Expense voluntary waiver The Investment Manager may voluntarily undertake to reduce or waive its Investment Management Fee or to make other arrangements to reduce the specified expenses (as disclosed below) of the Fund to the extent that such expenses exceed such lower expense limitation as the Investment Manager may, by notice to the shareholders, voluntarily declare to be effective (“Expense Waiver”). The Investment Manager has currently undertaken to reimburse the Fund so that Specified Expenses (as described below) of each class in the Fund’s financial year do not exceed the 0.45% of the average daily NAV of each class. There was no voluntary waiver applied in the year ended 31 December 2020 or 31 December 2019.

Specified Expenses include all expenses incurred in the business of the Fund, which include offering costs, administration fees, investor servicing fees and depositary fees. Specified Expenses do not include the following: (i) establishment expenses relating to the Fund; (ii) Investment Management Fees; (iii) Performance Fees or Additional Performance Fees; (iv) distributor fees; (v) Eligible Collective Investment Scheme fees and expenses; (vi) brokerage and trading costs; (vii) interest payments; (viii) taxes; or (ix) extraordinary expenses. The Investment Manager may terminate or modify this arrangement at any time at its sole discretion upon 30 days’ notice in writing to the Fund’s shareholders.

In the event that the Fund invests in a collective investment scheme that is managed by the Investment Manager or its affiliates, the Investment Manager shall undertake to reduce or waive its investment management fee or to make other arrangements in order to avoid the payment of Investment Management Fees in respect of both the Fund and the relevant collective investment scheme. Administrator’s fees The Administrator is entitled to receive an annual fee of USD125,000 out of the assets of the Fund together with transaction charges at normal commercial rates and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrator in the performance of its duties. The Administrator shall also be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Fund fees for accounting services that will not exceed 0.12% per annum of the NAV of the Fund. These fees shall accrue and be calculated on each Dealing Day and shall be payable monthly in arrears. Depositary's fees The Depositary is entitled to receive out of the assets of the Fund a tiered fee based on the market value of securities held equal to 0.02% for the first USD500million, 0.0175% for the next USD2billion and 0.0005% thereafter of the Fund’s Net Assets. This fee shall accrue daily and calculated on each Dealing Day and shall be payable monthly in arrears. The Depositary is also entitled to a fee of 0.01% per annum of the Funds’ Net Assets to reflect the Depositary's increased responsibilities under UCITS V Directive which became effective on 18 March 2016. The Depositary, subject to a minimum fee of USD35,000 per annum, is also entitled to receive out of the assets of the Fund all agreed sub-custodian fees and transaction charges. The Depositary shall also be entitled to receive reasonable and properly vouched expenses and disbursements.

Note 12. Related and connected party transactions (continued) Directors’ fees and interests As at 31 December 2020, the Directors had no interest in the shares of the Company (31 December 2019: Nil). The Directors are entitled to be paid a fee for the services they provide to the Company. See the Statement of Comprehensive Income and Statement of Financial Position for disclosure of Directors’ fees paid during the financial year and fees outstanding at financial year end. Peter Koffler and Brett Condron waived their fees for the financial year.

Peter Koffler is a Senior Managing Director of Blackstone of which the Investment Manager is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary. Mr. Koffler is also General Counsel for Blackstone's Hedge Fund Solutions Group. Brett Condron is a Senior Managing Director of Blackstone and Head of the Hedge Fund Solutions Group's Individual Investor Solutions Group. Middle- and Back-Office Provider Blackstone Alternative Asset Management L.P. (“BAAM”), an affiliate of the Investment Manager, owns a non-controlling, minority equity interest in Arcesium LLC (“Arcesium”) and the Chief Operating Officer of BAAM and the Investment Manager serves on the board of Arcesium. The parent company of a Sub-Adviser to the Fund owns a controlling, majority interest in Arcesium. Arcesium provides certain middle- and back-office services and technology to the Investment Manager, the Fund and certain Sub-Advisers. The services and technology provided by Arcesium support various post-trade activities, including trade capture, cash and position reconciliations, asset servicing, margin and collateral monitoring, pricing-related services, portfolio data warehousing, related recordkeeping, and other services and technology as agreed between the applicable entity and Arcesium. BAAM may recommend Arcesium’s services to certain Sub-Advisers, and certain Sub-Advisers from time to time may hire Arcesium. Neither BAAM nor the Investment Manager will require any Sub-Advisers to hire Arcesium as a condition to hiring them nor will the Investment Manager favor Sub-Advisers who use Arcesium over Sub-Advisers who use other qualified middle- and back-office services providers when hiring Sub-Advisers for the Fund’s portfolio. In return for its services, Arcesium receives a one-time upfront implementation fee, an annual software use and service fee (partly based on the relevant fund’s aggregate net asset value), and an annual operations services fee (also based on the relevant fund’s net asset value) (such fees in the aggregate, the “Arcesium Fees”). The Arcesium Fees have been negotiated at arm’s-length and the Investment Manager believes them to be reasonable in relation to the services provided and consistent with prevailing charges from third party providers of the same or substantially similar services. The Arcesium Fees are considered to be Specified Expenses. As at 31 December 2020, the amount due to Arcesium was USD965,585 (31 December 2019: USD837,125). Information regarding the Arcesium Fees is available from the Adviser upon request. In connection with BAAM’s minority equity ownership interest in Arcesium, BAAM may receive cash distributions from Arcesium from time to time. The Fund should not assume that BAAM will receive any distributions that will be rebated to the Fund. Cash distributions received by BAAM from Arcesium will be applied first to reimburse the Arcesium Fees paid by funds managed by the Hedge Fund Solutions Group which are clients of Arcesium (the “HFS Arcesium Clients”) for the amount of Arcesium Fees paid by such entities to Arcesium. There can be no assurance that BAAM will receive any such distributions and therefore that any such reimbursements shall be made to the Fund. Further, if Arcesium is sold to a third-party, there is no guarantee that BAAM will continue to be entitled to such cash distributions or that the HFS Arcesium Clients will be reimbursed for any portion of the Arcesium Fees paid by them. In the event that cash distributions received by BAAM from Arcesium exceed the Arcesium Fees paid by the HFS Arcesium Clients, any excess amounts will be retained by BAAM. As additional BAAM Clients engage Arcesium and pay Arcesium Fees in the future, the reimbursement described above will apply to such BAAM Clients as well. Note 13. Soft commissions The Investment Manager or Sub-Advisers may direct transactions to brokers in return for research services (such as written research reports on companies, sectors, or economies or the subscription of on-line databases that provide real time, historical pricing information and meetings with portfolio company representatives). In such circumstances, the Investment Manager or Sub-Advisers may enter into soft commission agreements or similar arrangements with such brokers. Under such arrangements, the Investment Manager or Sub-Advisers will take reasonable steps to ensure that the broker or counterparty to the arrangement has provided best execution to the sub-funds and that the benefit provided assists the Investment Manager or Sub-Advisers in its provision of investment services to the Fund. Note 14. Supplemental information The Investment Manager is subject to the SEC's amended Rule 206(4)-2 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “SEC Depositary Rule”). The Investment Manager has determined that it is required to provide the following information to all investors in order for the financial statements to comply with the requirements of the SEC Depositary Rule. The additional information required is to provide a reconciliation of the requirements between the financial statements which are prepared under IFRS and the accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America.

The net investment income per share ratio represents the expenses and net investment income divided by monthly shares in issue during the financial year. (2)

The total return is calculated by dividing the change in the per share value for the financial year by the NAV per share at the beginning of the financial year. An individual shareholder’s return may vary from these returns based on different management fee and performance fee arrangements (as applicable) and the timing of capital transactions.

(3) All ratios are annualised with the exception of non-recurring costs.

(4) Represents expenses excluded from reimbursement by the Investment Manager, as defined in the expense waiver, see Note 11.

Note 14. Supplemental information (continued) Uncertain tax positions Accounting Standards Codification 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognised in the Company's financial statements. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740 requires that the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes based on the technical merit position. In evaluating whether a tax position has met the more likely than not recognition threshold, the Company should presume that the position will be examined by the appropriate taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognise in the financial statements. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 per cent likely of being realised upon settlement. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, which is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The issues addressed in the amendment are: debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, distributions received from equity method investments, beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and, separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The amendment is effective for fiscal years since December 15, 2018. The Investment Manager has determined that there is no significant impact on the financial statements arising from the new standard. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18 “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230)”, that requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This standard is effective for fiscal years since 15 December 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years since 15 December 2019. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20) Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities - The amendments in this update shorten the amortisation period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, the amendments require the premium to be amortised to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortised to maturity. The ASU takes effect for public business entities for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820)" - which adds, modifies and removes certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after 15 December 2019, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Note 15. Segregated liability The Company is incorporated as an umbrella fund with segregated liability between sub-funds and as such, as a matter of Irish law, the assets of the Fund are segregated and the Fund will not be exposed to the liabilities of the Company’s other sub-funds. Each sub-fund of the Company will be responsible for paying its fees and expenses regardless of the level of its profitability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that, should an action be brought against the Company in the courts of another jurisdiction, the segregated nature of the sub-funds would necessarily be upheld. As at 31 December 2020, the Blackstone Diversified Multi-Strategy Fund was the only sub-fund.

Note 18. Significant events during the financial year The Board declared distributions on the Class A (EUR) Distributing share class and Class I (USD) Distributing share class on 2 January 2020 which was subsequently paid on 10 January 2020. On 28 July 2020, Share class I (EUR) Distributing was launched. Up to the date of approval of these financial statements, the Company has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements except for the recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus in many countries which continues to adversely impact global commercial activity and has contributed to significant volatility in financial markets. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving, and as cases of the virus have continued to be identified in additional countries, many countries have reacted by instituting quarantines and restrictions on travel. Such actions are creating disruption in global supply chains, and adversely impacting a number of industries, such as transportation, hospitality and entertainment. The outbreak could have a continued adverse impact on economic and market conditions and trigger a period of global economic slowdown. The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact of the novel coronavirus. Nevertheless, the novel coronavirus presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to the Company’s performance and financial results. In addition to the factors described above, other factors described herein that may affect market, economic and geopolitical conditions, and thereby adversely affect the Company include, without limitation economic slowdown in the U.S. and internationally, changes in interest rates and/or a lack of availability of credit in the U.S. and internationally, commodity price volatility and changes in law and/or regulation, and uncertainty regarding government and regulatory policy. COVID-19 and Global Economic and Market Conditions The ongoing novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and restrictions on certain non-essential businesses have caused disruption in the U.S. and global economies. Although an economic recovery is partially underway, it continues to be gradual, uneven, and characterised by meaningful dispersion across sections and regions. The estimates and assumptions underlying these financial statements are based on the information available as of year-end, including judgments about the financial markets and economic conditions which may change over time. There were no other events during the financial year, which require adjustment to, or disclosure in the financial statements. Note 19. Significant events since the financial year end The Board declared distributions of USD1,276,536 on the Class I (USD) Distributing share class on 4 January 2021 which was subsequently paid on 11 January 2021. The Prospectus was updated by way of a second addendum (the "Second Addendum") in order to comply with the requirements of the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosures Regulation (2019/2088) on sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector ("SFDR"). The Second Addendum was noted by the Central Bank on 5 March 2021. There were no other events since the financial year end, which require adjustment to, or disclosure in the financial statements. Note 20. Approval of the financial statements The financial statements were approved by the Directors on 22 March 2021.

Total Expense Ratio (“TER”) / Information for Investors in Switzerland

128

Methodology The TER has been calculated on an ex-post basis (i.e. based on the actual costs charged), by reference to the preceding 12 month financial period ended 31 December 2020. The TER is equal to the ratio of the Fund's total operating costs, including Performance Fees, attributable to the relevant share class, to the average net asset value of that share class. Total operating costs are expenses deducted from the assets for the relevant fiscal period. The average net asset value is calculated using the net asset value as at each valuation point.

Investors’ personal data may be transferred to countries which may not have the same or equivalent data protection laws as Ireland. If such transfer occurs, the Company is required to ensure that such processing of investors’ personal data is in compliance with Data Protection Legislation and, in particular, that appropriate measures are in place such as entering into model contractual clauses (as published by the European Commission) or ensuring that the recipient is “Privacy Shield” certified, if appropriate.
