HPS was established in 2007 as a unit of Highbridge Capital Management, LLC ("HCM"), a subsidiary of JPMorgan Asset Management ("JPMAM").

In June 2018, affiliates of Dyal Capital Partners made a passive minority investment in HPS. In February 2022, an affiliate of The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America made a passive minority investment in HPS, which was subsequently increased in August 2024. On July 1, 2025, BlackRock acquired the business and assets of HPS, with 100% of consideration paid in BlackRock equity (the "HPS/BlackRock Transaction").

BlackRock and HPS have formed a new private financing solutions business unit ("PFS") led by Scott Kapnick, Scot French, and Michael Patterson, creating an integrated franchise with approximately $370 billion in client assets, including $205 billion of private credit assets.[ii] This combined platform, which has more than 590 investment professionals and approximately 1,300 employees globally,[iii] offers broad capabilities across senior and junior credit solutions, asset-based finance, real estate, CLOs and GP-LP solutions. As part of the HPS/BlackRock Transaction, Scott Kapnick, Scot French, and Michael Patterson have joined BlackRock's Global Executive Committee, and Scott Kapnick has been appointed as an observer to the BlackRock Board.
