Investing Across the Credit Cycle

About this episode

The episode discusses investment strategies in the evolving private credit market with insights from Apollo partners.

In an evolving credit market, how should investors weigh opportunity and risk in the $40 trillion private credit landscape? In our latest Allocation Insights episode on market movement and what we’re hearing from investors around the world, Diana Sands and Alex Wright speak with four Apollo partners at the firm’s recent Credit Annual General Meeting – Akila Grewal, Chris Edson, Jim Vanek and Chris Lahoud – to explore how the breadth and integration of Apollo’s platform is designed to perform throughout credit cycles and capture value across the full credit spectrum. They share insight into how Apollo invests as a principal, manages risk, is deploying capital at scale and is navigating the cycle with a focus on consistent, risk-adjusted returns.
