• Fundraising accelerated to $2.3 billion in the second quarter from $1.5 billion in the first quarter, bringing first-half fundraising to approximately $3.9 billion.

• The firm’s approximately $150 million investment in SpaceX was valued at about $3.5 billion as of the latest market close, although gains remain unrealized and subject to lockups. The investment is expected to support future incentive-fee earnings and increase private-markets carried-interest marks, but its valuation remains volatile and timing of monetization is largely controlled by underlying managers.

Executives highlighted diversification and limited exposure to challenged direct-lending segments, while acknowledging ongoing scrutiny of private-credit valuations, leverage, software exposure, and liquidity.
• Management reported $35 million to $40 million of unrealized annual performance fees, based partly on a $110 SpaceX share price, and $965 million of gross unrealized carried interest. The firm maintained its $0.12 quarterly dividend and repurchased 1.6 million shares for approximately $17 million, with $55 million remaining under its buyback authorization.
