Andrii Yalanskyi/iStock via Getty Images Shares of Apollo Global ( APO ) have been a poor performer over the past year, losing about 5% of their value despite the bull market rally. The company has been weighed down by fears around private credit losses. This has been an ongoing issue for about nine months, following several high-profile losses, and AI disruption has added to fears around software exposure. On Wednesday, the sector was rocked by more bad news, sending shares down 3%. Given Apollo’s diversity and valuation, I upgraded shares to a buy in February , and this has been a poor call with shares flat since then, missing out on a 10% market rally. With updated financials and macro developments, now is a good time to revisit. Seeking Alpha On Wednesday , investors learned that Cliffwater was moved to limit redemptions from its private credit fund. 17% of investors sought redemption, and there is a 5% quarterly cap. Given these funds have substantial illiquid allocations, redemption limits are common and in the prospectus. This fund had significant redemption requests in Q1 that were only partially met, so it was not surprising to see another quarter of elevated requests. Still, it served as a reminder that there are many investors in private credit strategies looking for the exit. Because most of these funds have quarterly redemption periods, there had been a lull of redemption headlines for several months as the Q1 window closed, and now that seasonal “quiet period” is ending. I expect we will see many funds again gate withdrawals. This provides two pressures. First, to the extent there are negative flows from the asset class, that clearly is a pressure on industry AUM on which these companies earn fee revenue. Beyond that, these sales can pressure prices and reduce access to credit for borrowers, potentially exacerbating the credit cycle as liquidity becomes scarcer. As such, duress at one fund could spread, which is why the term “contagion” is thrown aroun...
