Blackstone does publish Schwarzman's Chairman's Letter, but there is no page on blackstone.com or ir.blackstone.com called 'letters'. The files sit on Blackstone's Q4 Inc investor-relations CDN, s23.q4cdn.com under numeric id 714267708, in two path shapes: /files/doc_financials/annual_reports/<file>.pdf for 2015-2019 and /files/doc_financials/<year>/ar/<file>.pdf for 2020-2021. Standalone Chairman's Letters run 2015-2021 and stopped after the 2021 letter: the 2022, 2023 and 2024 annual reports are the Form 10-K alone, with no letter. For 2013 and 2014 the letter was published as a blackstone.com blog post, now dead but preserved on the Wayback Machine. For 2007-2011 the letter opened Blackstone's glossy printed annual report; those books are mirrored at annualreports.com/Company/the-blackstone-group-lp, which also carries 2008, 2009 and 2011.
