In the year when asset-backed securities, also known as securitization, came to the fore in the music industry, Apollo Global Management led the way with an $850 million debt placement for Concord in October. Sources say Apollo also played an undisclosed role in helping Sony Music Group finance the acquisition of the Queen catalog, which carried a $1.2 billion valuation. Sipio declines to discuss individual deals, but says, “This year, we provided a bespoke capital solution to Sony Music Group to support its business plan.” Solomon says that “since 2022, we have structured and anchored over $2.5 billion of asset-backed financing for Concord, making it the largest music securitization to date,” and adds, “With over $730 billion of assets under management today, our ability to provide creative, scaled capital solutions is perfectly suited to help drive strategic growth for music companies.”
