NEW YORK, Nov. 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Apollo (NYSE: APO) today announced that it has closed on $2.4 billion in commitments for the Apollo Accord+ Fund (“Accord+”), its commingled multi-asset opportunistic credit offering. These new commitments bring total fundraising for the overarching Accord strategy to approximately $11 billion since inception, of which approximately $4.5 billion was raised in the past 12 months.
Accord+, a closed-end fund, follows a multi-asset opportunistic credit strategy, investing in Apollo’s highest conviction themes from across its Credit platform.

The fund builds upon our significant experience and established track record in managing our Accord strategy and other related mandates,” said Apollo Partners Chris Lahoud and Tristram Leach.

Apollo’s platform spans asset classes, geographies and public and private markets, positioning us to dynamically invest across asset categories based on relative value. The strategy further utilizes our proven asset allocation framework.”
