Matt O’Mara (Apollo Global): Investing Alongside a Global Alternatives Giant - Why Alignment Matters

In this podcast, EW&L Partner Ryan Loehr speaks with Matthew O’Mara from Apollo Global. Matt is a Partner of Apollo’s Insurance Solutions Group and has responsibility for leading its democratised private market capability globally. For those unfamiliar with Apollo, it is regarded as one of the most reputable private equity and private credit managers in the world. A key differentiator for Apollo is its alignment with investors, with approximately half of its $600B in AUM invested from its own balance sheet, alongside investors. Private Markets are an area that has traditionally been restricted to the largest professional and institutional investors, but managers (including Apollo) are increasingly innovating via new structures to provide private investors with new access points. ‘Alternatives’ or private market opportunities are increasingly playing a more important role in investor portfolios and for anyone looking to understand more about this asset class, this episode provides valuable insights.
