Inside Apollo's Private Credit Platform

At Apollo's 2026 Credit Annual Meeting, partners across the firm discussed the technological disruption, refinancing pressure from higher rates, and geopolitical uncertainty that are beginning to drive greater dispersion across sectors, borrowers, and capital structures.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500) is a market-capitalization weighted index of the 500 largest US publicly traded companies and one of the most common benchmarks for the broader US equity markets. Index performance and yield data are shown for illustrative purposes only and have limitations when used for comparison or for other purposes due to, among other matters, volatility, credit or other factors (such as number of investments, recycling or reinvestment of distributions, and types of assets). It may not be possible to directly invest in one or more of these indices and the holdings of any strategy may differ markedly from the holdings of any such index in terms of levels of diversification, types of securities or assets represented and other significant factors. Indices are unmanaged, do not charge any fees or expenses, assume reinvestment of income and do not employ special investment techniques such as leveraging or short selling. No such index is indicative of the future results of any strategy or fund.

Investing involves risk including loss of principal. Alternative investments often are speculative, typically have higher fees than traditional investments often include a high degree of risk and are appropriate only for eligible long-term investors who are willing to forgo liquidity and put capital at risk for an indefinite period of time. They may be highly illiquid and can engage in leverage and other speculative practices that may increase volatility and risk of loss.

References to downside protection are not guarantees against loss of investment capital or value.
