Capital Solutions for European Companies

Whether advancing low-carbon nuclear energy production in the UK, helping to fund leading-edge chip fabrication in Ireland, providing capex for Germany’s transmission grid, or supporting critical gas infrastructure for southern Europe, Apollo is bringing long-term, investment-grade solutions to bear across the continent.

Corporate Solutions

Apollo provides long-term, scaled financing to advance Europe’s most strategic priorities. From energy transition and security to next-generation technology and critical infrastructure, the cost and form of our capital allows us to partner with the largest companies and governments to help capitalize ambitious growth plans.

We’ve deployed more than $50 billion in large-scale, high-grade financings for European assets and companies in the last several years alone and have approximately $150 billion of AUM in the region as of September 30, 2025.

Why Private Capital?

Private credit doesn’t mean levered lending. At Apollo, we view private credit as a $40 trillion addressable market that is primarily investment grade.⁽³⁾

We invest in a wide range of asset classes across corporate credit and asset-backed finance, and we’re differentiated as a capital provider thanks to our retirement services balance sheets, which enable us to provide large-scale, long-duration, high-grade capital. Investment and structuring expertise means we can partner with borrowers on solutions that are tailored to their specific needs.
