**What’s the deal?**
Apollo Global Management (NYSE: APO) is a New York–based alternative asset manager spanning credit, equity (including private equity), and retirement services via Athene — not a software-only PE firm. As of 30 Jun 2026 it reported roughly **$1.05 trillion** of total AUM (about **$849B credit** / **$198B equity**), with private equity alone about **$70B** AUM and 190+ portfolio companies on apollo.com.
**Context**
Apollo’s equity platform centers on opportunistic buyouts, corporate carve-outs and deleveraging investments, plus hybrid value, secondaries and infrastructure/clean-transition equity. Technology and digital media sit inside that broader mandate (examples historically include Yahoo, Shutterfly and Rackspace), alongside industrials, healthcare, leisure and infrastructure. Credit remains the largest sleeve; retirement services (Athene) supply long-duration capital. Founded 1990; HQ New York.
