Defined Contribution Plans

Our Integrated Platform

Apollo continues to provide private investment capabilities designed for public pensions, families, institutions and defined contribution plans that seek excess returns. It also manages the liability needs of retirement services companies like Athene, for which we source high-quality, long-duration investments across private and public global markets.

In 2022, Apollo merged with Athene to further align our asset management business with retirement services. For nearly 15 years, Athene has provided retirement income solutions for individuals and corporations through principal-protected investment products.
