Apollo
Apollo Global Management is one of the world's leading alternative asset management firms, founded in 1990 by Leon Black, Joshua Harris, and Marc Rowan. Headquartered in New York, Apollo has grown from a boutique investment partnership into a global financial institution managing hundreds of billions in assets across private equity, credit, and real estate. The firm is publicly listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: APO) and serves a broad institutional and individual investor base that includes pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, endowments, insurance companies, and high-net-worth investors. Apollo is distinguished by its contrarian, value-oriented investment philosophy and its deep expertise in credit and distressed investing.
Apollo's investment platform is organized around three core business strategies: yield, hybrid, and opportunistic investing. The yield strategy focuses on investment-grade and near-investment-grade credit, including asset-backed finance and insurance-linked investments managed in part through Athene, Apollo's insurance affiliate. The hybrid strategy targets investments that combine debt and equity characteristics, while the opportunistic strategy encompasses private equity, distressed investing, and real assets. Together, these three pillars provide institutional and individual investors with access to a wide spectrum of risk-adjusted return opportunities that span both public and private markets.
Apollo has earned a reputation as one of the most innovative and influential firms in global alternative asset management, particularly known for its track record in leveraged buyouts, corporate restructuring, and credit investing. The firm manages hundreds of billions of dollars and has built one of the most comprehensive alternative investment platforms in the industry, including a robust wealth management offering, the Apollo Academy educational platform, and a range of registered investment products accessible to financial advisors and their clients. Apollo's scale, intellectual capital, and integrated platform continue to attract significant investor capital and position the firm at the forefront of the evolving alternative investment landscape.
