(6 May 2026 – Global) Apollo Global Management has declared that it plans to offer investors daily valuations for its private credit funds by the end of September this year.
The move is anticipated to ease mounting concerns about the health of the opaque private credit sector. The New York-based credit fund sponsor disclosed its plans during a call with analysts after reporting Q1 results.
Apollo believes that offering daily valuations for its private credit holdings will help the firm win more investors as its assets under management (AUM) surpassed US$1 trillion in Q1.
“We plan to provide daily valuations for investment-grade loans by the end of June and extend the practice to our direct-lending portfolio by September. Transparency is necessary as investor concerns have grown” commented Apollo CEO Marc Rowan.
Exclusive research by East & Partners and Capital Brief found that private credit take up by corporates is surging, despite growing regulatory scrutiny of the sector. 46 percent of Australian corporates with turnover greater than A$725 million had either sourced funding through private credit or planned to do so in November 2025. That is up from 39 percent in May and 28 percent in October 2024.
“This is a significant shift in the openness to the asset class. The increase in knowledge about private credit along with the fact it opens access to funding sources are key reasons for growing uptake. For the upper commercial market, the flexibility in terms of covenants is one of the most appealing aspects” commented East & Partners Global Head of Markets Analysis, Martin Smith.
“While corporates are concerned about the regulator they are sitting on their hands to an extent given many do not have specific risk management frameworks in place albeit the way corporates manage their private credit risk would be similar across all forms of debt” Smith added.
