Apollo (APO) CEO Addresses 5% Redemption Limits in Private Credit Fund

Apollo Global Management (APO) has limited quarterly redemptions in its private credit fund to 5%, facing scrutiny as redemption requests amounted to 11% of assets. The fund has approximately 12% of loans in the software sector, which has experienced significant valuation concerns amid AI disruption. CEO Marc Rowan stated that their $750 million in redeemed requests is manageable compared to their total $750 billion in credit investments. He emphasized that meeting a 5% redemption requirement should not pose challenges for credit managers, highlighting the vital role of technology in the evolving debt market.
