GSO Capital Partners, the credit platform of investment giant Blackstone, has announced the final closing of the GSO Energy Select Opportunities Fund II at $4.5 billion. The energy fund ranks among the largest of energy-focused credit funds in the market, according to Blackstone.<\/p>\n

GSO sourced commitments to the fund from a global investor base that included U.S. state, corporate and international pension funds, financial institutions, endowments, foundations and family offices. The fund will seek to leverage GSO\u2019s scale, flexible capital base, brand and structuring expertise to capitalize on a favorable investing environment for its energy strategy. Since 2005, GSO has committed roughly $13 billion in privately organized transactions in the energy markets.<\/p>\n
