About the company
Apollo Global Management invests money for pension funds, insurers, wealthy individuals and its own retirement business, with most of its assets in private credit, meaning loans arranged directly with companies rather than bought on public markets. It also runs private equity and real estate funds, and its buyout teams have a long record of backing troubled or complex companies. Apollo owns Athene, a retirement insurer that sells annuities and gives the premiums to Apollo to invest, so the firm earns fees from clients plus the spread between Athene's investment returns and what it pays policyholders. Apollo was founded in 1990 and is based in New York.
