Outlook

Origination pipeline
Management sees continued strength in the origination pipeline over the next couple of quarters across energy, infrastructure, defense, manufacturing, and compute.
Risk posture
Apollo is maintaining a defensive posture due to high valuations and elevated risks, moving up the capital stack into senior-secured credit and lower-leverage equity structures.
Regulatory environment
Management expects favorable regulatory changes from the NAIC regarding offshore reinsurance capital requirements as early as 2027.
Strategic investments
Apollo plans to incur approximately $350 million of planned expenses over the next 24 months to upgrade technology, data systems, and business infrastructure.
