What if the Assumptions We’ve Always Relied on in Finance No Longer Hold True?

About the Author

Marc Rowan

Chief Executive Officer

The interview originally took place on September 2, 2025.

Speaking to CNBC’s Robert Frank, Apollo CEO Marc Rowan posed a simple question: What if the assumptions we’ve always relied on in finance no longer hold true?

At Apollo, we believe it’s time for a fundamental rethink of:

how institutions and individuals allocate and invest
how companies are financed
the future of retirement and wealth generation

The world has changed. The question is: will your thinking change with it?
