Apollo joined the S&P 500 index on Dec. 23, 2024.As of June 30, 2025, total AUM was $840 billion, fee-earning AUM was $638 billion and Perpetual Capital AUM was $498 billion.Apollo conducts its business primarily in the United States through the following three reportable segments — Asset Management, Retirement Services and Principal Investing.Asset Management: The segment focuses on three investing strategies — yield, hybrid and equity. These strategies reflect the range of investment capabilities across its platform based on relative risk and return. As an asset manager, the company earns fees for providing investment management services and expertise to its client base. After expenses, the resulting earning stream is referred to as Fee Related Earnings (FRE), which represents the primary performance measure for the Asset Management segment.Retirement Services: This business is conducted by Athene — a leading financial services company that specializes in issuing, reinsuring and acquiring retirement savings products designed for the increasing number of individuals and institutions seeking to fund retirement needs. The Retirement services business focuses on generating spread income by combining the two core competencies of sourcing long-term, persistent liabilities, and using the global scale and reach of its asset management business to actively source or originate assets with Athene’s preferred risk and return characteristics.Principal Investing: This segment comprises realized performance fee income, realized investment income from balance sheet investments and certain allocable expenses related to corporate functions.
