In this Expert Briefing, hear from three top experts on oceans, hurricanes, and the growing related financial risks to communities and property.

As investor appetite for income and private credit exposure grows, BDCs remain a powerful tool—but higher-for-longer rates, credit concerns, and shifting portfolio dynamics are making manager selection more critical than ever.
In 2025’s turbulent market environment, one corner of private credit is enjoying its moment in the sun: asset-backed finance. In this episode of The View from Apollo, Bret Leas, Apollo’s Co-Head of Asset-Backed Finance, explains how this estimated $20 trillion global market works.
For decades, conventional wisdom has held that private markets are too illiquid, risky and inflexible for defined contribution (DC) retirement plans.

Thanks to recent innovations in structure, strategy and oversight, the tools to manage liquidity within DC plans have evolved dramatically.
America is facing a widely recognized retirement crisis. Although retirement solutions providers have made important—and consistent—strides towards mitigating risks for retirees (from portfolio diversification to investment biases to longevity risk), key concerns remain.
Resilient fundamentals and robust technicals drove credit performance in the first half of 2025. Despite tariff headlines, geopolitical tensions, and policy volatility, credit held firm. Solid fundamentals, strong demand, and limited new supply helped anchor spreads. We expect these supportive dynamics to persist through year-end.
As the US retirement landscape continues to evolve, the ongoing shift from defined benefit (DB) pensions to defined contribution (DC) plans continues to expose the critical gap in both retirement savings and strategy. The traditional portfolios powering today’s DC plans—typically centered around publicly traded equities and bonds—are showing signs of strain, especially in a world defined by heightened market volatility, concentration, compressed returns and growing longevity risk.
