Blackstone Group LP, the leveraged buyout firm known for taking companies private, plans to raise as much as $4 billion by going public. The firm will sell units in a holding partnership that its management will control. The offering will give Blackstone permanent capital for leveraged buyouts, as well as units that can be used to retain and attract employees, according to a filing yesterday.
