Job Requirements / Description
Position Overview
Apollo is a high-growth, global alternative asset manager. In our asset management business, we seek to provide our clients excess return at every point along the risk-reward spectrum from investment grade to private equity with a focus on three investing strategies: yield, hybrid, and equity. For more than three decades, our investing expertise across our fully integrated platform has served the financial return needs of our clients and provided businesses with innovative capital solutions for growth. Through Athene, our retirement services business, we specialize in helping clients achieve financial security by providing a suite of retirement savings products and acting as a solutions provider to institutions. Our patient, creative, and knowledgeable approach to investing aligns our clients, businesses we invest in, our employees, and the communities we impact, to expand opportunity and achieve positive outcomes.
Come to Apollo and join a community of extraordinary people who are committed to a culture of excellence and collaboration in everything that we do. We invest in our people for the long term and are committed to supporting their development at every stage of their career.
The Role
Apollo sources Asset-Backed Finance ("ABF ") investments across diversified channels, directly originating opportunities through proprietary platforms and partnerships, as well as participating in primary and secondary markets. We believe our expansive view of the ABF market enables us to assess a wide range of opportunities to improve risk-adjusted return, accounting for structure, asset risk and yield.
Apollo Global Management is seeking a Trading Assistant to join its highly collegial trading platform, deeply integrated into the firm's investment process, which has a top tier presence in every asset class across ABF. The Trading Assistant will work directly with traders and provide operational support on various funds, separately managed accounts and portfolio companies managed by Apollo. Functional responsibilities will include ensuring delivery of end-to-end management of trade bookings, including trade confirmation, trade settlement, trade life-cycle event support, and risk monitoring in partnership with portfolio managers, traders and global support teams. Primary client fund structures will include all products within asset-backed finance. The environment is fast-paced and requires exceptional attention to detail and organizational skills.
Primary Responsibilities
Our clients rely on our investment acumen to help secure their future. We must never lose our focus and determination to be the best investors and most trusted partners on their behalf. We strive to be:
The leading provider of retirement income solutions to institutions, companies, and individuals.
The leading provider of capital solutions to companies. Our breadth and scale enable us to deliver capital for even the largest projects - and our small firm mindset ensures we will be a thoughtful and dedicated partner to these organizations. We are committed to helping them build stronger businesses.
A leading contributor to addressing some of the biggest issues facing the world today - such as energy transition, accelerating the adoption of new technologies, and social impact - where innovative approaches to investing can make a positive difference.
