Commitments bring total new capital for direct lending franchise to over $13B in just over 12 months

NEW YORK, Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Apollo (NYSE: APO) today announced that it has closed Apollo Origination Partnership Fund II (“AOP II” or “Fund II”) with approximately $4.8 billion of investable assets¹. This brings total assets raised for the Apollo Large Cap Direct Lending business to approximately $13.3 billion in just over 12 months, inclusive of the Fund II close and other product formats providing access to Apollo’s direct lending franchise. Apollo’s total direct lending and performing credit AUM has doubled to $238 billion over the past four years.

AOP II is designed to capitalize on growing demand for corporate and sponsor-backed large-cap lending. Under the strategy, Apollo aims to invest in senior corporate debt of issuers located predominantly in the United States and Western Europe that generate over $100 million of annual EBITDA.

“AOP II seeks to provide investors with a differentiated approach to corporate and sponsor direct lending. The convergence of public and private credit markets continues to create tremendous demand for scaled direct lending solutions led by a single counterparty who can offer price and execution certainty to borrowers,” said Apollo Credit Partner Jim Vanek.

“We believe that Apollo’s decades-long history and expertise investing in corporate credit, as well as the incumbency and broad reach of our Credit platform, make us uniquely situated to lead in this growing market,” said Deputy CIO of Credit John Zito. “Platforms with scaled and diversified sources of capital are well positioned to meet the increasing needs of large companies.”

Apollo’s Credit business has more than $500 billion of AUM, supported by highly diversified, stable inflows across institutional fundraising, Global Wealth, and Retirement Services.

Apollo’s Stephanie Drescher, Partner and Chief Client and Product Development Officer, said, “The launch of ASPM underscores Apollo’s commitment to providing access to institutional quality alternative offerings tailored to individuals and wealth investors.

It is our view that secondaries can provide a combination of attractive attributes not commonly found in other private market strategies, and we’re pleased to make that available to investors.”

Apollo’s Jason Singer, Partner and Global Lead for Product Development and Veronique Fournier, Managing Director and Head of EMEA Global Wealth said, “Apollo is an innovator in bringing institutional quality products to individual investors in tailored formats.

NEW YORK–(October 1, 2024) – TJC LP (“TJC” or “the Firm”), a middle-market private equity firm investing primarily in North American businesses, today announced the close of its second continuation fund (the “Continuation Fund”) at $2.1 billion, which will be an extension of The Resolute Fund III, L.P. (“Resolute III”) and include an asset jointly owned with The Resolute Fund IV, L.P. (“Resolute IV”).

The Continuation Fund purchased a total of five portfolio companies including assets from Resolute III, a 2013 vintage fund with approximately $3.2 billion in capital commitments and a portfolio company Resolute III jointly owned with Resolute IV, a 2018 vintage fund with approximately $3.6 billion in capital commitments. The Continuation Fund will give TJC time and capital to accelerate growth of core portfolio assets, while offering limited partners from Resolute III and Resolute IV an opportunity to achieve liquidity in a timely manner.

“As we drive ongoing acquisition integration and operational initiatives within the Continuation Fund portfolio, we believe this transaction will enable us to provide the Fund’s portfolio companies with greater resources, time and flexibility to execute on these strategies which will continue to build shareholder value,” said Rich Caputo, Chairman and Chief Executive Partner of TJC. “We have given our investors an option to take accelerated liquidity at a market-driven price while allowing the portfolio companies the opportunity to continue to pursue their long-term growth plans.”

“This is the second consecutive transaction that earned overwhelming support from limited partners, and was oversubscribed by new investors,” said Kristin Custar, Partner and Head of TJC’s Global Investor Capital Group. “We are thankful for the partnership of the investors who supported the Continuation Fund and appreciate their continued support.”

The transaction was led by AlpInvest, a subsidiary of global investment firm Carlyle (NASDAQ: CG), and included a diverse group of secondary and primary investors, including Resolute III and Resolute IV limited partners. TJC offered all existing Resolute III and Resolute IV limited partners the opportunity to exercise a full liquidity option, a rollover option, and an option to seek to make additional capital commitments to the Continuation Fund.

“AlpInvest is pleased to have the opportunity to expand our partnership with TJC in leading the Resolute III Continuation Fund transaction,” said Eric Anton, Managing Director at AlpInvest. “The transaction is strongly aligned with our strategy, and we look forward to continuing to support TJC in driving value creation initiatives across the portfolio.”

William Blair served as exclusive financial advisor to TJC and placed the Continuation Fund. Latham & Watkins LLP acted as legal advisor to TJC.

Total fee-generating commitments for the Fund amount to USD 3.2 billion (EUR 2.9 billion), including fee-generating co-investments of USD 0.3 billion (EUR 0.3 billion)

EQT Active Core Infrastructure is a longer-hold strategy with a focus on downside protection, and applies EQT’s active ownership approach and value creation playbook to core infrastructure companies in Europe and North America

The Fund has already made three highly thematic investments that align with the strategy’s investment criteria and core focus

EQT is pleased to announce that the EQT Active Core Infrastructure fund (or the “Fund”) has held its final close. Total fee-generating commitments for the Fund amount to USD 3.2 billion (EUR 2.9 billion), including fee-generating co-investments of USD 0.3 billion (EUR 0.3 billion).

Applying the global platform’s active ownership approach, industry insights, and local market access, Active Core Infrastructure seeks to leverage EQT’s 15-year track record of building strong and resilient infrastructure businesses for the future. It invests in companies that provide essential services to society and aims to offer an attractive risk-return proposition based on stable cash yield generation, inflation protection, low volatility, and a long-term value creation opportunity.

The Fund is backed by a well-diversified global investor base consisting of blue-chip clients, including pension funds, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds, family offices, and private wealth platforms.

Alex Greenbaum, Partner and Head of EQT Active Core Infrastructure, said: “We have an exciting deal pipeline of attractive, thematic investment opportunities ahead of us, and are pleased to have already partnered with three businesses that share our vision to deliver long-term, sustainable growth. We see significant potential in core infrastructure against the current macroeconomic outlook, with the possibility to acquire high quality assets while creating value using our proven active ownership approach, and I am excited to further scale the strategy in the years ahead.”

The Fund has capitalised on the higher interest rate environment of the last two years and has invested across three thematically sourced, high-quality, and downside-protected companies, which demonstrate strong value creation potential:

• Ocea Group, a provider of smart water and heat sub-metering infrastructure in France
• Radius Global Infrastructure, an owner and operator of critical digital infrastructure sites globally
• Tion Renewables, a renewable energy producer and operator with a diversified portfolio of utility-scale solar, wind and battery storage across the European Union and the United Kingdom

Management fees for the Fund, which is currently less than half invested, are charged on invested capital. Stated co-investment amounts are invested capital which is fee generating.
