Key Takeaways

- • Asset-level pricing for applicable funds is expected to become available to investors beginning October 30, 2026.
- • Daily Pricing is an estimated fair value calculated by Apollo's internal methodology benchmarked to public market data; it is not a market-clearing price and is not a definitive valuation.
- • The expansion builds on the July 1, 2026 launch and complements ICE Private Credit Intelligence (launched March 2026, over 5,000 ICE IDs created) and a secondary trading desk that has facilitated over $30 billion of trading volume since its 2024 launch.
Summary
Apollo Global Management announced on October 1, 2026 that it has begun providing Daily Pricing information to additional investors across its $850 billion credit business, according to a GlobeNewswire release. The firm first launched Daily Pricing on July 1, 2026 for investors in its investment-grade Fixed Income Replacement product suite and has now extended the initiative to direct lending, asset-backed finance, multi-credit and opportunistic credit vehicles. Asset-level pricing for applicable funds is expected to be available to investors starting October 30, 2026.
The company positions the move as part of the evolution of private credit toward the pricing, data and market-making infrastructure common in more established credit markets. More frequent pricing, standardized asset-level information and secondary trading are presented as complementary elements designed to help investors evaluate and manage private credit alongside public market holdings. John Zito, Co-President of Apollo Asset Management, said that as public and private markets converge, investors increasingly expect a more consistent experience and that daily pricing is "another step in that evolution."
The expansion follows other infrastructure initiatives. In March 2026, Apollo partnered with Intercontinental Exchange to launch ICE Private Credit Intelligence, which introduced unique asset identifiers (ICE IDs) intended to support standardized reference data, analytics and independent pricing on private assets over time. More than 5,000 ICE IDs have been created to date. Apollo's dedicated secondary trading desk, launched in 2024, has facilitated over $30 billion of trading volume to date with a growing number of partners.
Apollo stresses that Daily Pricing is an estimated fair value calculated as of a specified date using its internal methodology and benchmarked to relevant public market data. It is provided solely for informational and transparency purposes and is not intended as a definitive valuation or a basis for any investment decision, subscription, redemption or transaction. Daily Pricing is available through Apollo's investor portal, and information relating to registered funds is published through the channels applicable to those vehicles. Apollo reported approximately $1.05 trillion of assets under management as of June 30, 2026.
