Apollo Global Management completed the final close of its Apollo Hybrid Value Fund III on May 5 2026, securing approximately $6.5 billion in commitments from a global mix of pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, endowments and other institutional investors.
The new fund builds on the success of its predecessors, which closed at $3.3 billion in 2019 and $4.6 billion in 2022. The steady growth in capital commitments signals increasing investor confidence in Apollo’s hybrid strategy and its ability to scale the platform across markets.
Apollo’s hybrid platform focuses on structured equity instruments such as preferred and convertible securities, positioning the fund between traditional debt and equity. The capital raised will support growth initiatives, acquisitions, shareholder liquidity and balance‑sheet optimization for portfolio companies, while offering downside protection and equity participation for investors.
Management highlighted the significance of the close. Jason Scheir, Partner and Head of Hybrid Value, said, “We are grateful for the strong support from both new and existing investors in HVF III, which we believe reflects continued confidence in our strategy and track record. We have built the Hybrid Value franchise to deliver bespoke, partnership capital at scale and we remain focused on generating attractive risk‑adjusted returns for our investors.” Matt Nord, Co‑Head of Private Equity and Head of Hybrid, added, “We believe hybrid strategies offer a compelling risk‑reward framework for investors as they navigate market cycles and the current period of elevated uncertainty. Our ability to provide scaled, flexible capital, combined with the strength of our integrated platform, positions us to be the partner of choice for many of the world’s leading companies and sponsors.”
Apollo’s broader business, which managed approximately $938 billion in assets as of December 31 2025, continues to expand its alternative investment footprint. The successful close of HVF III reinforces Apollo’s leadership in the hybrid capital market, a niche that competes with other alternative asset managers offering similar flexible financing solutions. The fund’s launch underscores Apollo’s strategy to deliver partnership‑oriented solutions that sit between traditional debt and equity, strengthening its position as a leading provider of hybrid capital in the alternative investment space.
