"Everyone has a job, no immigration."
Snippet from the transcript of "Apollo Global Management, Inc. Presents at Bank of America 31st Annual Financials CEO Conference, Sep-23-2026 03:00 PM"

Craig Siegenthaler

We'll get started with the macro. The macro backdrop has definitely been more resilient than many expected, yet uncertainty remains geopolitically, fiscally and also in the rate trajectory. Marc, how are you reading the environment right now? And what does it mean for Apollo's outlook and portfolio position?

Marc Rowan

So the fundamentals are actually quite positive. Everyone has a job. There is no immigration. Let's talk U.S. first, which is the largest market. Everyone has a job, no immigration. You have a massively accretive CapEx cycle, which is creating demand across lots of different sectors. You have the government policy incredibly accommodative. Capital markets are wide open. And so valuation aside, I think it will be difficult to cause a U.S. recession over the near term. The companies have been shocking resilient. Earnings are up. And generally, credit performs well if the economy is good, absent specific risks or stupidity.

Do you even sweat, bro?
Ben Williams, head of Emea and Asia private banking, lending and deposits at Goldman Sachs, said clients were “less tolerant” of these assets “not deriving more value for them”.

Family offices allocated 20 per cent of their assets to private equity and private debt in 2025, according to a report by UBS — up from 16 per cent in 2019.

“You want to have at least the opportunity to sweat as many of your assets as you can in a risk-efficient way,” Williams added. “And it’s inefficient to have an asset that you can’t sweat.”

Inevitably, we’ll get PE funds with NAV loans backed by portfolio holdings and then wealthy individuals taking out NAV loans on their stakes in the same fund, right?
The bank will generally lend between 25 and 35 per cent of the assets’ value for NAV loans, Williams said — well below the 40 to 60 per cent loan-to-value that banks typically offer for art loans, another class of illiquid assets the rich borrow against. Loan terms tend to be two to three years and are commonly renewed.

Although tax breaks and subcontractors and partner companies played a crucial role in semiconductor production and profit generation, the profits were shared exclusively to Samsung’s full-time employees. Samsung’s case warrants critical assessment rather than praise or emulation.

TIL private credit has spawned a new type of fund vehicle, a hybrid of CLOs and collateralized fund obligations (CFOs), which Moody's is calling multicredit fund vehicles (MCFVs). www.moodys.com/research/Pri...
MCFVs hold – both directly and indirectly – a hybrid pool of investments that can include asset-backed whole loan assets, corporate loans and bonds, and real assets. Meanwhile, CLOs directly own corporate loans, and CFOs hold primarily pools of fund interests with exposure to private equity investments.

The Lockheed Martin lawsuit, like similar lawsuits alleging ERISA violations by purchasing annuity contracts from Athene, claim that the insurer is riskier in part because of its ties to Apollo. The original court filing cites Athene as a “private-equity controlled insurance company with a highly risky offshore structure.”
