Blackstone Drops BTG Pactual as Subadviser for Two Mutual Funds
A U.S. affiliate of Grupo BTG Pactual SA, the Brazilian bank whose top executive was arrested last month as part of a sweeping corruption scandal, was dropped as subadviser to a pair of alternative mutual funds run by Blackstone Group LP.
BTG Pactual Asset Management US LLC “will no longer serve as a subadviser” to the Blackstone Alternative Multi-Manager and Multi-Strategy Funds, according to a notice Blackstone filed Monday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The change becomes effective Dec. 15.
