Marc Rowan on how Apollo’s differentiated strategy was built for this moment.
OVERVIEW
Defined contribution (DC) plans are a principal retirement savings vehicle for millions of individuals. While their investment lineups have historically relied primarily on public market strategies, that approach may not fully reflect today’s evolving investment landscape and the significant role of private markets. In the US, for example, 81% of companies with more than $100 million in revenue are private.¹ We believe incorporating private market strategies alongside public market investments can help broaden the opportunity set available to participants in support of better long-term retirement outcomes.
Traditional portfolios face evolving challenges including lower forward-return expectations, public market concentration and rising retirement income needs.
Even a modest allocation of private investments within a professionally managed DC portfolio can help address these concerns.
New structures are expanding the ways DC plans can access private markets. Over three decades of experience delivering private market solutions to institutional investors, we belive Apollo is well positioned to help bring these opportunities to retirement savers. We do so by offering DC plans access to our established private markets capabilities through structures purpose built for their unique needs.
