What Origination Means At Apollo
- Origination means directly sourcing, underwriting, and funding loans straight to borrowers or counterparties.
- Apollo originated about $260 billion on a last-12-month basis through Q2, spanning credit, equity, and hybrid structures.
Why Private Lending Is Expanding
- Demand for long-duration funding and customization is driving private lending growth alongside banks.
- Investors like insurance companies or credit funds provide long-term capital that complements banks' short-term funding role.
Match Funding To Borrower Needs

- Structure deals to match cashflow needs and avoid forcing borrowers into standard public formats.
