CONTEXT NEWS

Apollo Global Management said on May 2 that it generated roughly $1.1 billion in adjusted net income, a measure that reflects profit available to be distributed to shareholders, in the first quarter of 2024, up 26% from the year prior.

The three months to the end of March marked the first period since 2022 in which the private equity, credit and insurance firm and its peers Blackstone, Carlyle and KKR all reported year-over-year growth in comparable earnings measures.
