How did the Asset Management segment perform in terms of Fee Related Earnings (FRE)?
The Asset Management segment showed strong performance with Fee Related Earnings (FRE) increasing by 12.5% year-over-year to $531 million. This growth was primarily attributable to increases in management fees, capital solutions fees and other, net, and fee-related performance fees.

Apollo Global Management reported a strong liquidity position as of September 30, 2024, with $16.3 billion in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, complemented by approximately $1.0 billion in available funds from its credit facilities (AMH credit facility, AHL credit facility, and AHL liquidity facility).
