    Blackstone (NYSE:BX) today announced that its global credit platform, GSO Capital Partners (GSO), is further expanding its North American origination effort to include two new office locations in San Francisco and Toronto.

    GSO currently has offices in New York, London, Dublin, Houston, Frankfurt and Southern California. The new offices will provide regional presence to strengthen existing relationships and expand GSO’s ability to reach new customers in two important North American markets.

    Dwight Scott, President of GSO, said “With a growing capital base and increasing origination activity across North America, these new offices are a logical extension of our presence and a testimony to the confidence we have in our growing team as well as in the opportunities in these major markets. This expansion represents GSO’s continued commitment to consistently meeting the needs of our clients and driving deal flow for our investors.”

    The offices are expected to open in the first half of 2019. Ferdinand Niederhofer has been tapped to lead coverage out of GSO’s San Francisco office while Michael Carruthers will focus on Canada and the Midwest. Bill Hobbs will lead GSO’s efforts in the Southeast, and will continue to be based out of the firm’s New York office.

    “We now have over 100 talented individuals across our private lending practice and we are fortunate to have highly experienced leaders like Ferdinand, Mike and Bill, along with our teams in New York and Houston, who can support us in further meeting the growing needs of our clients,” added Scott.
