Why Apollo Global Management ranks #3
Third place follows a review of this ranking by someone with industry knowledge. It is a judgement, not a measurement. Apollo’s postings state: “As of March 31, 2026, Apollo had approximately $1.03 trillion of assets under management.” That is a figure for the whole firm, and it is larger than the one KKR, one place above, states: the order is not a ranking by assets. Nothing is posted for private equity.
