Winners Rationale
“Apollo Global Management boasts a tenured history in private credit, having invested since 1990, and has since grown to become the largest private credit manager in the world. The firm’s track record in achieving investment objectives with strong downside protection supercharges its growth in Asia’s private wealth space,” said Stanley Li, senior reporter at Asian Private Banker.
“The competitive advantage of Apollo Debt Solution (ADS) also stems from the firm’s dedicated investments in its origination strength and long-standing partnerships. These factors are crucial for sourcing proprietary deals and generating excess returns.
“Constructed conservatively to be a through-the-cycle strategy, the ADS portfolio exhibits robust defensiveness. Its distinctive feature of securing the highest first-lien exposure, investing in larger companies, maintaining lower fund leverage and PIK, allows Asian private wealth investors to sleep tight at night.
“Coupled with a dedicated and experienced private wealth distribution team in Asia, these advantages drove another year of robust inflows into ADS, confirming the fund’s resilience in gathering assets during volatile market periods. This consistent success has earned Apollo Global Management the Best Fund Provider – Private Credit award for the third straight year from Asian Private Banker, solidifying its leadership in this highly competitive sector.”
