Inside the post-Liberation Day buying spree at Apollo
Read Original Source
Apollo Global Management, known for its nonbank loans, is on a buying spree — but not where you might think. Since Trump's tariff wars have wreaked havoc on stocks and bonds, the alternative asset manager has been busy putting its excess cash to work, Marc Rowan, the company's CEO, said in a conference call to investors.
AI Summary
Main Idea: Apollo Global Management says the market turmoil after Trump’s tariff move gave it a chance to buy a large amount of assets, especially bonds, at attractive prices.
Key Points:
- Marc Rowan said Apollo bought about $25 billion in April as stocks and bonds swung sharply after the tariff rollout.
- The firm has focused on public markets, where bond prices fell and trading became less liquid during the shock.
- Apollo said it was ready for the disruption, with cash and liquidity set aside to take advantage of better deals.
- The company also reported record fee-related earnings, but weaker results from its insurance arm helped push its shares lower.
Impact on the People
Negative Impact
Apollo’s big bond buying shows tariff-driven market swings can raise borrowing costs and make retirement and savings accounts more volatile for households.
Positive Impact
Apollo’s cash and lending activity could help some companies get funding when banks and public markets are strained.
