Apollo Global Management Inc. is expanding two hybrid strategies, which supply financing that sits between credit and private equity, as it ramps up alternatives to buyouts. Some investors say they’ve exceeded the amount they can allot to private equity. However, certain investors can allocate to hybrid equity from other buckets, creating an opening for firms such as Apollo. Hybrid strategies offer “credit-like” yields and equity upside, while getting more protections than would otherwise be found in those funds, David Sambur, Apollo’s co-head of equity, said. Apollo is set to debut its third vintage fund under its Hybrid Value strategy with a roughly $6 billion target next year. Apollo Aligned Alternatives, a fund for wealthy individuals, is on track to hit $20 billion at year end from about $18 billion in November. Apollo sees its hybrid equity business, which houses AAA and Hybrid Value strategies, as a potential replacement for public equities in pension funds, and has touted low-double-digit rates of return. The firm already manages about $70 billion in hybrid strategies.

🗃️How does a private equity fund work? ➡️Investor Commitment: ◾Investors commit to a fund at the beginning, agreeing to provide funds over time as needed for investments, fees, and expenses. ➡️Investment Process: ◾Private equity fund managers use their expertise to identify investment opportunities. ◾When a suitable investment is found, the required amount is drawn from investors and invested in the chosen portfolio company. ➡️Portfolio Management: ◾The fund manager works closely with the management of the portfolio company for an average of three to five years. ◾The goal is to enhance the company's value through various means, such as launching new products, acquiring technologies, or restructuring. ➡️Exit Strategy: ◾After improving the company's performance, the portfolio company may be sold to another investor or listed on the stock market for a profit. ◾Profits are distributed to investors, with a portion retained by the manager as a performance fee (carried interest). ➡️Use of Investment: ◾Funds invested in portfolio companies can support various purposes, including business startups (venture capital), product development, technology advancement, acquisitions, working capital expansion, balance sheet strengthening, company restructuring, or resolving ownership issues like management buyouts. This simplified explanation outlines how private equity investments work and the potential uses of capital within portfolio companies. #FundAccounting #PrivateEquity

The actual fund size is dependent on the outcome of the fundraising process and may be higher or lower than the target size; the hard cap of the fund will be set at a later date. BPEA IX’s investment strategy is expected to be materially in line with the predecessor fund, BPEA VIII.  To ensure continuity between two fund generations, EQT’s capital raisings usually follow a cycle with successor funds targeted to be in a position to commence investment activities when the predecessor fund is close to being fully invested. This means that the commitment period of the predecessor fund typically ends when approximately 80 to 90 percent of its total commitments are invested, with remaining commitments being available primarily for add-on acquisitions and strategic capital injections as well as for ongoing expenses.  Management fee for BPEA IX may be charged from the initial closing of the Fund (or a later date designated by EQT in its sole discretion). Management fee on BPEA VIII will thereafter be based on net invested capital at the fee rate applicable post the commitment period.”  EQT Private Capital Asia – EQT Private Capital Asia has been transforming companies through its pan-Asian investment platform for nearly three decades.

The investment performance of venture capital and private equity funds is often irregular. In the early years, the fund will deploy capital and draw down management fees, and only years later will funds begin to realize mark-ups or distributions from portfolio company exits. This non-linear performance is referred to as the “J-curve” and can impact how investors think about allocating capital to private market funds. Our latest article covers what the J-curve means, factors that affect its shape, and how it impacts private market investors 👇 https://lnkd.in/ghW42NSY
