The interview originally took place on March 4, 2025 at Bloomberg Invest Live with Sonali Basak.
The only constant is change. Apollo’s long-duration capital is built to lead the next era of investment-grade private credit: scaled, transparent, and future-ready.
Apollo President Jim Zelter explores what’s changed and what’s ahead for the credit landscape, including Apollo’s continued focus on investment-grade private credit.

And as more investors come in that are focused on transparency, on information, and on financing those assets, there will be a marketplace for those.”
