I'm too lazy to reiterate. Do a simple google search on BX distributions...lots of info...there are a few moving parts.Blackstone (BX) pays "partnership distribution" (not dividends) on a quarterly basis. Just wonder is that taxed at the same rate as dividends? Does anyone know?
One important note on these, they can wreak havoc with a 401K or IRA if they're over something like $1,000 in a year. I know all the PE company listed stock has this issue.
You mean charge you several hundred dollars for the privilege of preparing the 990T tax return for your IRA, and then sending the IRS a check from the IRA account.In addition many (if not all) brokers send the amount owed directly to the IRS from the account.
That's the bottom line!it might be better in a taxable account if you want to own it.
