\nBrings Total Capital Raised Across Accord Dislocation Complex to $11.6 Billion Since Inception
\n<\/h2>\n
\n

NEW YORK, May 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Apollo (NYSE: APO) today announced the final close of Apollo Accord Fund VII (\u201cAccord VII\u201d or the \u201cFund\u201d) with $1.9 billion in total commitments, reflecting broad support from a global and diverse group of investors including pension funds, financial institutions, endowments, foundations and family offices.<\/p>\n

Accord VII is the latest vintage of the Firm\u2019s flagship Accord Dislocation Series, which has raised $11.6 billion since inception in 2017. The strategy pursues dislocated liquid credit during periods of market volatility, as well as select idiosyncratic and issuer-driven opportunities in more stable market environments. The investment approach emphasizes a diversified portfolio of highly defensible positions targeting the top of the capital structure, across both primary and secondary markets.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are operating in a period of heightened volatility driven by elevated valuations, increased geopolitical and macroeconomic risk and rapid AI-driven disruption,\u201d said Chris Lahoud, Partner and Deputy Co-Head of Hybrid at Apollo. \u201cIn this environment, markets reward judgment, scale and disciplined underwriting. We believe periods of volatility and dispersion create compelling opportunities for capital providers who are prepared to act decisively.\u201d<\/p>\n

Akila Grewal, Global Head of the Institutional Client Group at Apollo, added, \u201cWe are grateful for the continued support of our investors globally. The strong demand for Accord VII reflects sustained confidence in the strategy and the important role it plays within diversified portfolios. In dynamic market environments, we believe the Fund\u2019s flexible mandate can help investors take advantage of volatility with an emphasis on senior positioning within the capital structure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP represented Apollo in connection with the closing of Accord VII.<\/p>\n
