Apollo has three primary business segments: • Credit —primarily invests in non-control corporate and structured debt instruments including performing, stressed and distressed investments across the capital structure; • Private equity —primarily invests in control equity and related debt instruments, convertible securities and distressed debt investments; and • Real assets —primarily invests in (i) real estate equity and infrastructure equity for the acquisition and recapitalization of real estate and infrastructure assets, portfolios, platforms and operating companies, (ii) real estate and infrastructure debt including first mortgage and mezzanine loans, preferred equity and commercial mortgage backed securities and (iii) European performing and non-performing loans, and unsecured consumer loans. Organization of the Company As of March 31, 2021, the Company owned, through six intermediate holding companies that include APO Corp., a Delaware corporation that is a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, APO Asset Co., LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, APO (FC), LLC, an Anguilla limited liability company that is disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, APO (FC II), LLC, an Anguilla limited liability company that is disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, APO UK (FC), Limited, an England and Wales incorporated company that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and APO (FC III), LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company that is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes (collectively, the “Intermediate Holding Companies”), 53.5% of the economic interests of, and operated and controlled all of the businesses and affairs of, the Apollo Operating Group. AP Professional Holdings, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (“Holdings”), is an entity through which the Managing Partners and certain of the Company’s other partners (the “Contributing Partners”) indirectly beneficially own interests in each of the entities that comprise the Apollo Operating Group. As of March 31, 2021, Holdings owned 39.8% of the economic interests in the Apollo Operating Group. The Company consolidates the financial results of the Apollo Operating Group and its consolidated subsidiaries. Holdings’ ownership interest in the Apollo Operating Group is reflected as a Non-Controlling Interest in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Athene and Apollo Strategic Transaction On February 28, 2020, pursuant to a transaction agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) between Athene Holding, AGM Inc. and the entities that form the Apollo Operating Group, the Apollo Operating Group issued 29,154,519 non-voting equity interests of the Apollo Operating Group to Athene Holding. As a result, as of March 31, 2021, Athene Holding owned 6.7% of the economic interests in the Apollo Operating Group. See note 14 for further disclosure regarding the Transaction Agreement. As noted further in note 14, Apollo purchased a 17% incremental equity ownership stake in Athene, bringing Apollo’s beneficial ownership in Athene to 28%, at the close of the transaction. This has resulted in Apollo’s indirect ownership in certain VIEs, through Athene, being considered significant such that the Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these VIEs. Apollo and Athene Merger and Corporate Conversion On March 8, 2021, AGM Inc. entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with AHL, Tango Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of AGM Inc. (“HoldCo”), Blue Merger Sub, Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo (“AHL Merger Sub”), and Green Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo (“AGM Merger Sub” and together with AHL Merger Sub, the “Merger Subs”). At the closing of the transaction (the “Closing”), AHL Merger Sub will merge with and into AHL (the “AHL Merger”), with AHL as the surviving entity in the AHL Merger and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo (the “AHL Surviving Entity”), and AGM Merger Sub will merge with and into Apollo (the “AGM Merger” and, together with the AHL Merger, the “Mergers”) with AGM as the surviving entity in the AGM Merger and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo (the “AGM Surviving Entity”). Upon consummation of the Mergers, AGM and AHL will be direct wholly owned subsidiaries of HoldCo, which will be renamed “Apollo Global Management, Inc.” The transaction is expected to close in January of 2022. The transaction requires the approval of stockholders of both Apollo and AHL, and is subject to, among other things, antitrust and regulatory approvals, and other customary closing conditions. See note 14 for further disclosure regarding the Merger Agreement. In addition, on March 9, 2021, AGM Inc. entered into a binding governance term sheet with the Managing Partners pursuant to which it was agreed, among other things, that the Company will convert its corporate structure to a single class of common stock with one vote per share. The change will take effect at closing of the Mergers, subject to regulatory and stockholder approvals, and will result in the exchange of Apollo’s Apollo Operating Group units for a combination of Class A shares and cash, and the reorganization of Apollo Global Management Inc. from an umbrella partnership C corporation (“Up-C”) structure to a C-corporation with a single class of common stock.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and instructions to Form 10-Q. The condensed consolidated financial statements and these notes are unaudited and exclude some of the disclosures required in annual financial statements. Management believes it has made all necessary adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) so that the condensed consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and that estimates made in preparing its condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements included in the 2020 Annual Report. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiaries, the consolidated entities which are considered to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and for which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary, and certain entities which are not considered VIEs but which the Company controls through a majority voting interest. Intercompany accounts and transactions, if any, have been eliminated upon consolidation. Certain reclassifications, when applicable, have been made to the prior periods’ condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to conform to the current period’s presentation and are disclosed accordingly. Consolidation The types of entities with which Apollo is involved generally include subsidiaries (e.g., general partners and management companies related to the funds the Company manages), entities that have all the attributes of an investment company (e.g., funds), special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) and securitization vehicles (e.g., CLOs). Each of these entities is assessed for consolidation on a case by case basis depending on the specific facts and circumstances surrounding that entity. Pursuant to the consolidation guidance, the Company first evaluates whether it holds a variable interest in an entity. Fees that are customary and commensurate with the level of services provided, and where the Company does not hold other economic interests in the entity that would absorb more than an insignificant amount of the expected losses or returns of the entity, would not be considered a variable interest. Apollo factors in all economic interests, including proportionate interests through related parties, to determine if such interests are considered a variable interest. As Apollo’s interests in many of these entities are solely through market rate fees and/or insignificant indirect interests through related parties, Apollo is not considered to have a variable interest in many of these entities and no further consolidation analysis is performed. For entities where the Company has determined that it does hold a variable interest, the Company performs an assessment to determine whether each of those entities qualify as a VIE. The determination as to whether an entity qualifies as a VIE depends on the facts and circumstances surrounding each entity and therefore certain of Apollo’s funds may qualify as VIEs under the variable interest model whereas others may qualify as voting interest entities (“VOEs”) under the voting interest model. The granting of substantive kick-out rights is a key consideration in determining whether a limited partnership or similar entity is a VIE and whether or not that entity should be consolidated. Under the variable interest model, Apollo consolidates those entities where it is determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of the entity. The Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary when it has a controlling financial interest in the VIE, which is defined as possessing both (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant. When Apollo alone is not considered to have a controlling financial interest in the VIE but Apollo and its related parties under common control in the aggregate have a controlling financial interest in the VIE, Apollo will be deemed the primary beneficiary if it is the party that is most closely associated with the VIE. When Apollo and its related parties not under common control in the aggregate have a controlling financial interest in the VIE, Apollo would be deemed to be the primary beneficiary if substantially all the activities of the entity are performed on behalf of Apollo. Apollo determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the time it becomes initially involved with the VIE and reconsiders that conclusion continuously. Investments and redemptions (either by Apollo, related parties of Apollo or third parties) or amendments to the governing documents of the respective entity may affect an entity’s status as a VIE or the determination of the primary beneficiary. Assets and liabilities of the consolidated VIEs are primarily shown in separate sections within the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. Changes in the fair value of the consolidated VIEs’ assets and liabilities and related interest, dividend and other income and expenses are presented within net gains from investment activities of consolidated variable interest entities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The portion attributable to Non-Controlling Interests is reported within net income attributable to Non-Controlling Interests in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For additional disclosures regarding VIEs, see note 5. Under the voting interest model, Apollo consolidates those entities it controls through a majority voting interest. Apollo does not consolidate those VOEs in which substantive kick-out rights have been granted to the unrelated investors to either dissolve the fund or remove the general partner. Cash and Cash Equivalents Apollo considers all highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include money market funds and U.S. Treasury securities with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. Interest income from cash and cash equivalents is recorded in interest income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The carrying values of the money market funds and U.S. Treasury securities were $1.9 billion and $1.2 billion as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, which represent their fair values due to their short-term nature and are categorized as Level I within the fair value hierarchy. Substantially all of the Company’s cash on deposit is in interest bearing accounts with major financial institutions and exceed insured limits. Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents Restricted cash and cash equivalents includes cash held in reserve accounts used to make required payments in respect of the 2039 Senior Secured Guaranteed Notes. Restricted cash and cash equivalents also includes cash deposited at a bank, which is pledged as collateral in connection with leased premises. U.S. Treasury securities of Apollo Strategic Growth Capital II (“APGB”), a consolidated SPAC, are held in a trust account and consist of U.S Treasury bills that were purchased with funds raised through the initial public offering of the consolidated entity. The $0.7 billion in funds are restricted for use and may only be used for purposes of completing an initial business combination or redemption of public shares as set forth in the trust agreement. U.S. Treasury securities, at fair value U.S. Treasury securities, at fair value includes U.S. Treasury bills with original maturities greater than three months when purchased. These securities are recorded at fair value. Interest income on such securities is separately presented from the overall change in fair value and is recognized in interest income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Any remaining change in fair value of such securities, that is not recognized as interest income, is recognized in net gains (losses) from investment activities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. U.S Treasury securities of Apollo Strategic Growth Capital (“APSG”), a consolidated SPAC, are held in a trust account and consist of U.S Treasury bills that were purchased with funds raised through the initial public offering of the consolidated entity. The $0.8 billion in funds are restricted for use and may only be used for purposes of completing an initial business combination or redemption of public shares as set forth in the trust agreement. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Apollo has elected the fair value option for the Company’s investment in Athene Holding, the assets and liabilities of certain of its consolidated VIEs (including CLOs), the Company’s U.S. Treasury securities with original maturities greater than three months when purchased, and certain of the Company’s other investments. Such election is irrevocable and is applied to financial instruments on an individual basis at initial recognition. The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. Except for the Company’s debt obligations, financial instruments are generally recorded at fair value or at amounts whose carrying values approximate fair value. The actual realized gains or losses will depend on, among other factors, future operating results, the value of the assets and market conditions at the time of disposition, any related transaction costs and the timing and manner of sale, all of which may ultimately differ significantly from the assumptions on which the valuations were based. Fair Value Hierarchy U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring financial instruments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, the characteristics specific to the financial instrument and the state of the marketplace, including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices in active markets generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value. Financial instruments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed based on the observability of inputs used in the determination of fair values, as follows: Level I - Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical financial instruments as of the reporting date. The types of financial instruments included in Level I include listed equities and debt. The Company does not adjust the quoted price for these financial instruments, even in situations where the Company holds a large position and the sale of such position would likely deviate from the quoted price. Level II - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. Financial instruments that are generally included in this category include corporate bonds and loans, less liquid and restricted equity securities and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on observable inputs. These financial instruments exhibit higher levels of liquid market observability as compared to Level III financial instruments. Level III - Pricing inputs are unobservable for the financial instrument and includes situations where there is little observable market activity for the financial instrument. The inputs into the determination of fair value may require significant management judgment or estimation. Financial instruments that are included in this category generally include general and limited partner interests in corporate private equity and real assets funds, opportunistic credit funds, distressed debt and non-investment grade residual interests in securitizations and CDOs and CLOs where the fair value is based on observable inputs as well as unobservable inputs. When a security is valued based on broker quotes, the Company subjects those quotes to various criteria in making the determination as to whether a particular financial instrument would qualify for classification as Level II or Level III. These criteria include, but are not limited to, the number and quality of the broker quotes, the standard deviations of the observed broker quotes, and the percentage deviation from external pricing services. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, a financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the financial instrument when the fair value is based on unobservable inputs. Equity Method Investments For investments in entities over which the Company exercises significant influence but which do not meet the requirements for consolidation and for which the Company has not elected the fair value option, the Company uses the equity method of accounting, whereby the Company records its share of the underlying income or loss of such entities. The Company’s share of the underlying net income or loss of such entities is recorded in principal investment income (loss) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The carrying amounts of equity method investments are recorded in investments in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. As the underlying entities that the Company manages and invests in are, for U.S. GAAP purposes, primarily investment companies which reflect their investments at estimated fair value, the carrying value of the Company’s equity method investments in such entities approximates fair value. Financial Instruments held by Consolidated VIEs The Company measures both the financial assets and financial liabilities of the consolidated CLOs in its condensed consolidated financial statements using the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities of the consolidated CLOs, whichever are more observable. Where financial assets are more observable, the financial assets of the consolidated CLOs are measured at fair value and the financial liabilities are measured in consolidation as: (i) the sum of the fair value of the financial assets and the carrying value of any nonfinancial assets that are incidental to the operations of the CLOs less (ii) the sum of the fair value of any beneficial interests retained by the Company (other than those that represent compensation for services) and the Company’s carrying value of any beneficial interests that represent compensation for services. The resulting amount is allocated to the individual financial liabilities (other than the beneficial interest retained by the Company) using a reasonable and consistent methodology. Where financial liabilities are more observable, the financial liabilities of the consolidated CLOs are measured at fair value and the financial assets are measured in consolidation as: (i) the sum of the fair value of the financial liabilities, and the carrying value of any nonfinancial liabilities that are incidental to the operations of the CLOs less (ii) the carrying value of any nonfinancial assets that are incidental to the operations of the CLOs. The resulting amount is allocated to the individual financial assets using a reasonable and consistent methodology. Under the measurement alternative, net income attributable to Apollo Global Management, Inc. reflects the Company’s own economic interests in the consolidated CLOs including (i) changes in the fair value of the beneficial interests retained by the Company and (ii) beneficial interests that represent compensation for collateral management services. The consolidated VIEs hold investments that could be traded over-the-counter. Investments in securities that are traded on a securities exchange or comparable over-the-counter quotation systems are valued based on the last reported sale price at that date. If no sales of such investments are reported on such date, and in the case of over-the-counter securities or other investments for which the last sale date is not available, valuations are based on independent market quotations obtained from market participants, recognized pricing services or other sources deemed relevant, and the prices are based on the average of the “bid” and “ask” prices, or at ascertainable prices at the close of business on such day. Market quotations are generally based on valuation pricing models or market transactions of similar securities adjusted for security-specific factors such as relative capital structure priority and interest and yield risks, among other factors. When market quotations are not available, a model based approach is used to determine fair value. Certain consolidated VIEs have applied the fair value option for certain investments in private debt securities that otherwise would not have been carried at fair value with gains and losses in net income. Deferred Revenue Apollo records deferred revenue, which is a type of contract liability, when consideration is received in advance of management services provided. Apollo also earns management fees subject to the Management Fee Offset (described below). When advisory and transaction fees are earned by the management company, the Management Fee Offset reduces the management fee obligation of the fund. When the Company receives cash for advisory and transaction fees, a certain percentage of such advisory and/or transaction fees, as applicable, is allocated as a credit to reduce future management fees, otherwise payable by such fund. Such credit is recorded as deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. A portion of any excess advisory and transaction fees may be required to be returned to the limited partners of certain funds upon such fund’s liquidation. As the management fees earned by the Company are presented on a gross basis, any Management Fee Offsets calculated are presented as a reduction to advisory and transaction fees in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, Apollo earns advisory fees pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreements with certain of the portfolio companies that are owned by the funds Apollo manages. When Apollo receives a payment from a portfolio company that exceeds the advisory fees earned at that point in time, the excess payment is recorded as deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The advisory agreements with the portfolio companies vary in duration and the associated fees are received monthly, quarterly or annually. Deferred revenue is reversed and recognized as revenue over the period that the agreed upon services are performed. There was $23.1 million of revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2021 that was previously deferred as of January 1, 2021. Under the terms of the funds’ partnership agreements, Apollo is normally required to bear organizational expenses over a set dollar amount and placement fees or costs in connection with the offering and sale of interests in the funds it manages to investors. The placement fees are payable to placement agents, who are independent third parties that assist in identifying potential investors, securing commitments to invest from such potential investors, preparing or revising offering and marketing materials, developing strategies for attempting to secure investments by potential investors and/or providing feedback and insight regarding issues and concerns of potential investors, when a limited partner either commits or funds a commitment to a fund. In cases where the limited partners of the funds are determined to be the customer in an arrangement, placement fees may be capitalized as a cost to acquire a customer contract, and amortized over the life of the customer contract. Capitalized placement fees are recorded within other assets in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition, while amortization is recorded within placement fees in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. In certain instances, the placement fees are paid over a period of time. Based on the management agreements with the funds, Apollo considers placement fees and organizational costs paid in determining if cash has been received in excess of the management fees earned. Placement fees and organizational costs are normally the obligation of Apollo but can be paid for by the funds. When these costs are paid by the fund, the resulting obligations are included within deferred revenue. The deferred revenue balance will also be reduced during future periods when management fees are earned but not paid. Redeemable non-controlling interests Redeemable non-controlling interests represent the shares issued by APSG and APGB, the consolidated SPACs, that are redeemable for cash by the public shareholders in connection with the SPAC’s failure to complete a business combination or tender offer/stockholder approval provisions. The redeemable non-controlling interests are initially recorded at their original issue price, net of issuance costs and the initial fair value of separately traded warrants. The carrying amount is accreted to its redemption value over the period from the date of issuance to the earliest redemption date of the instrument. These increases are recorded against additional paid-in capital. Revenues The Company’s revenues are reported in four separate categories that include (i) management fees; (ii) advisory and transaction fees, net; (iii) investment income, which is comprised of performance allocations and principal investment income; and (iv) incentive fees. The revenue guidance requires that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services (i.e., the transaction price). When determining the transaction price under the revenue guidance, an entity may recognize variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable to not be significantly reversed. The revenue guidance also requires disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. Performance allocations are accounted for under guidance applicable to equity method investments, and therefore not within the scope of the revenue guidance. The Company recognizes performance allocations within investment income along with the related principal investment income (as further described below) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and within the investments line in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. Refer to disclosures below for additional information on each of the Company’s revenue streams. Management Fees Management fees are recognized over time during the periods in which the related services are performed in accordance with the contractual terms of the related agreement. Management fees are generally based on (1) a percentage of the capital committed during the commitment period, and thereafter based on the remaining invested capital of unrealized investments, or (2) net asset value, gross assets or as otherwise defined in the respective agreements. Included in management fees are certain expense reimbursements where the Company is considered the principal under the agreements and is required to record the expense and related reimbursement revenue on a gross basis. Advisory and Transaction Fees, Net Advisory fees, including management consulting fees and directors’ fees, are generally recognized over time as the underlying services are provided in accordance with the contractual terms of the related agreement. The Company receives such fees in exchange for ongoing management consulting services provided to portfolio companies of funds it manages. Transaction fees, including structuring fees and arranging fees related to the Company’s funds, portfolio companies of funds and third parties are generally recognized at a point in time when the underlying services rendered are complete. The amounts due from fund portfolio companies are recorded in due from related parties on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition, which is discussed further in note 14. Under the terms of the limited partnership agreements for certain funds, the management fee payable by the funds may be subject to a reduction based on a certain percentage of such advisory and transaction fees, net of applicable broken deal costs (“Management Fee Offset”). Advisory and transaction fees are presented net of the Management Fee Offset in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Underwriting fees, which are also included within advisory and transaction fees, net, include gains, losses and fees, arising from securities offerings in which one of the Company’s subsidiaries participates in the underwriter syndicate. Underwriting fees are recognized at a point in time when the underwriting is completed. Underwriting fees recognized but not received are recorded in other assets on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. During the normal course of business, the Company incurs certain costs related to certain transactions that are not consummated (“broken deal costs”). These costs (e.g., research costs, due diligence costs, professional fees, legal fees and other related items) are determined to be broken deal costs upon management’s decision to no longer pursue the transaction. In accordance with the related fund agreement, in the event the deal is deemed broken, all of the costs are reimbursed by the funds and then included as a component of the calculation of the Management Fee Offset. If a deal is successfully completed, Apollo is reimbursed by the fund or fund’s portfolio company for all costs incurred and no offset is generated. As the Company acts as an agent for the funds it manages, any transaction costs incurred and paid by the Company on behalf of the respective funds relating to successful or broken deals are recorded net on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations, and any receivable from the respective funds is recorded in due from related parties on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. Investment Income Investment income is comprised of performance allocations and principal investment income. Performance Allocations Performance allocations are a type of performance revenue (i.e., income earned based on the extent to which an entity’s performance exceeds predetermined thresholds). Performance allocations are generally structured from a legal standpoint as an allocation of capital in which the Company’s capital account receives allocations of the returns of an entity when those returns exceed predetermined thresholds. The determination of which performance revenues are considered performance allocations is primarily based on the terms of an agreement with the entity. The Company recognizes performance allocations within investment income along with the related principal investment income (as described further below) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and within the investments line in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. When applicable, the Company may record a general partner obligation to return previously distributed performance allocations. The general partner obligation is based upon an assumed liquidation of a fund’s net assets as of the reporting date and is reported within due to related parties on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The actual determination and any required payment of any such general partner obligation would not take place until the final disposition of a fund’s investments based on the contractual termination of the fund or as otherwise set forth in the respective limited partnership agreement or other governing document of the fund. Principal Investment Income Principal investment income includes the Company’s income or loss from equity method investments and certain other investments in entities in which the Company is generally eligible to receive performance allocations. Income from equity method investments includes the Company’s share of net income or loss generated from its investments, which are not consolidated, but in which the Company exerts significant influence. Incentive Fees Incentive fees are a type of performance revenue. Incentive fees differ from performance allocations in that incentive fees do not represent an allocation of capital but rather a contractual fee arrangement with the entity. Incentive fees are considered a form of variable consideration as they are subject to clawback or reversal and therefore must be deferred until the fees are probable to not be significantly reversed. Accrued but unpaid incentive fees are reported within incentive fees receivable in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The Company’s incentive fees primarily relate to the credit segment and are generally received from CLOs, managed accounts and AINV. Compensation and Benefits Salaries, Bonus and Benefits Salaries, bonus and benefits include base salaries, discretionary and non-discretionary bonuses, severance and employee benefits. Bonuses are generally accrued over the related service period. Equity-Based Compensation Equity-based awards granted to employees and non-employees as compensation are measured based on the grant date fair value of the award. Equity-based awards that do not require future service (i.e., vested awards) are expensed immediately. Equity-based employee awards that require future service are expensed over the relevant service period. In addition, certain restricted share units (“RSUs”) granted by the Company vest based on both continued service and the Company’s receipt of performance revenues, within prescribed periods, sufficient to cover the associated equity-based compensation expense. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, equity-based compensation expense for such awards, if and when granted, will be recognized on an accelerated recognition method over the requisite service period to the extent the performance revenue metrics are met or deemed probable. The Company accounts for forfeitures of equity-based awards when they occur. Profit Sharing Profit sharing expense and profit sharing payable primarily consist of a portion of performance revenues earned from certain funds that are allocated to employees and former employees. Profit sharing amounts are recognized as the related performance revenues are earned. Accordingly, profit sharing amounts can be reversed during periods when there is a decline in performance revenues that were previously recognized. Profit sharing amounts are generally not paid until the related performance revenue is distributed to the general partner upon realization of the fund’s investments. Under certain profit sharing arrangements, the Company requires that a portion of certain of the performance revenues distributed to its employees be used to purchase restricted Class A Common Stock issued under the Company’s Equity Plan. Prior to distribution of the performance revenue, the Company records the value of the equity-based awards expected to be granted in other assets and other liabilities wit

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES	3 Months Ended

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES	VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES As described in note 2, the Company consolidates entities that are VIEs for which the Company has been designated as the primary beneficiary. Consolidated Variable Interest Entities As noted further in note 14, Apollo purchased a 17% incremental equity ownership stake in Athene on February 28, 2020, bringing Apollo’s beneficial ownership in Athene to approximately 28.5% as of March 31, 2021. This has resulted in Apollo’s indirect ownership through Athene in several VIEs being considered significant and therefore Apollo has consolidated the financial positions and results of operations of such VIEs given that the Company also has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these VIEs. Consolidated VIEs include certain CLOs as well as certain funds managed by the Company. Through its role as collateral manager, investment manager or general partner of these VIEs, the Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these VIEs. In addition, the Company’s combined interests in these VIEs are significant. The assets are not available to creditors of the Company, and the investors in these consolidated VIEs have no recourse against the assets of the Company. There is no recourse to the Company for the consolidated VIEs’ liabilities. The Company measures the fair value of the financial assets and the financial liabilities of the CLOs using the fair value of either the financial assets or financial liabilities, whichever is more observable (see note 2 for further discussion). The Company has elected the fair value option for financial instruments held by its consolidated CLOs, which includes investments in loans and corporate bonds, as well as debt obligations and contingent obligations. Other assets include amounts due from brokers and interest receivables. Other liabilities include payables for securities purchased, which represent open trades within the consolidated CLOs and primarily relate to corporate loans that are expected to settle within 60 days. The consolidated funds managed by the Company are investment companies and their investments, which include equity securities as well as debt securities, are held at fair value. Other assets of the consolidated funds include interest receivables and receivables from affiliates. Other liabilities include debt held at amortized cost as well as short-term payables. Included within liabilities of the consolidated VIEs are notes payable related to certain funds managed by the Company. Each series of notes in a respective consolidated VIE participates in distributions from the VIE, including principal and interest from underlying investments, in accordance with the terms of the note series. Amounts allocated to the noteholders reflect amounts that would be distributed if the VIE’s affairs were wound up and its assets sold for cash equal to their respective carrying values, its liabilities satisfied in accordance with their terms, and all the remaining amounts distributed to the noteholders. The respective VIEs that issue the notes payable are marked at their prevailing net asset value, which approximates fair value. Results from certain funds managed by the Company are reported on a three month lag based upon the availability of financial information. Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities of Consolidated Variable Interest Entities The following table presents net gains from investment activities of the consolidated VIEs: For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 (1) 2020 (1) Net gains (losses) from investment activities $ 304,401 $ (979,224) Net gains (losses) from debt (9,008) 534,451 Interest and other income 134,338 151,442 Interest and other expenses (317,137) 127,411 Net gains (losses) from investment activities of consolidated variable interest entities $ 112,594 $ (165,920) (1) Amounts reflect consolidation eliminations. Senior Secured Notes, Subordinated Notes and Secured Borrowings Included within debt, at fair value and other liabilities are amounts due to third-party institutions by the consolidated VIEs. The following table summarizes the principal provisions of those amounts: As of March 31, 2021 As of December 31, 2020 Principal Outstanding Weighted Average Interest Rate Weighted Average Remaining Maturity in Years Principal Outstanding Weighted Average Interest Rate Weighted Average Remaining Maturity in Years Senior Secured Notes (2) $ 5,424,388 1.98 % 6.0 $ 5,350,198 2.10 % 6.0 Subordinated Notes (2) 3,428,256 5.09 % (1) 20.9 3,389,375 5.08 % (1) 21.1 Secured Borrowings (2)(3) 117,456 2.44 % 0.4 236,698 2.41 % 0.3 Total $ 8,970,100 $ 8,976,271 (1) As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $0.7 billion and $0.6 billion, respectively, of the principal outstanding balance of the subordinated notes do not have contractual interest rates but instead receive distributions from the excess cash flows of the VIEs. (2) The notes and borrowings of the consolidated VIEs are collateralized by assets held by each respective vehicle and assets of one vehicle may not be used to satisfy the liabilities of another vehicle. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value of these consolidated VIEs’ assets were $9.8 billion and $9.6 billion, respectively. (3) As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, secured borrowings consist of consolidated VIEs’ obligations through a repurchase agreement redeemable at maturity with third party lenders. The fair value of the secured borrowings as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 approximates principal outstanding due to the short term nature of the borrowings. These secured borrowings are classified as a Level III liability within the fair value hierarchy. The consolidated VIEs’ debt obligations contain various customary loan covenants. As of March 31, 2021, the Company was not aware of any instances of non-compliance with any of these covenants. As of March 31, 2021, except for the secured borrowings, the contractual maturities for debt of the consolidated VIEs are greater than 2 years. Variable Interest Entities Which are Not Consolidated The Company holds variable interests in certain VIEs which are not consolidated, as it has been determined that Apollo is not the primary beneficiary. The following table presents the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities of the VIEs for which Apollo has concluded that it holds a significant variable interest, but that it is not the primary beneficiary. In addition, the table presents the maximum exposure to losses relating to these VIEs. As of As of Assets: Cash $ 315,394 $ 354,109 Investments 4,284,802 4,154,057 Receivables 58,509 34,800 Total Assets $ 4,658,705 $ 4,542,966 Liabilities: Debt and other payables $ 1,330,323 $ 1,229,345 Total Liabilities $ 1,330,323 $ 1,229,345 Apollo Exposure (1) $ 153,791 $ 155,273 (1) Represents Apollo’s direct investment in those entities in which Apollo holds a significant variable interest and certain other investments. Additionally, cumulative performance allocations are subject to reversal in the event of future losses, as discussed in note 15.

Fair Value Measurement of Investment in Athene Holding As of March 31, 2021, the fair value of Apollo’s Level II investment in Athene Holding was estimated using the closing market price of Athene Holding shares of $50.40 less a DLOM of 16.5%. The DLOM was derived based on the average remaining lock up restrictions on the shares of Athene Holding held by Apollo (36 months from the closing date of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement) and the estimated volatility in such shares of Athene Holding. The historical share price volatility of a representative set of Athene Holding’s publicly traded insurance peers was calculated over a three year period equivalent to the lock up on the shares of Athene Holding held by Apollo and used as a proxy to estimate the projected volatility in Athene Holding’s shares. As of December 31, 2020, the fair value of Apollo’s Level II investment in Athene Holding was estimated using the closing market price of Athene Holding shares of $43.14 less a DLOM of 17.5%. Discounted Cash Flow Model When a discounted cash flow model is used to determine fair value, the significant input used in the valuation model is the discount rate applied to present value the projected cash flows. Increases in the discount rate can significantly lower the fair value of an investment and the contingent consideration obligations; conversely decreases in the discount rate can significantly increase the fair value of an investment and the contingent consideration obligations. Consolidated VIEs Investments The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the equity securities include the discount rate applied, purchase multiple, price-to-earnings multiple, total book value multiple and net tangible asset value in the valuation models. These unobservable inputs in isolation can cause significant increases or decreases in fair value. The discount rate is determined based on the market rates an investor would expect for a similar investment with similar risks. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of bank loans are discount rates and recoverability percentage. Significant increases (decreases) in any discount rates would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of bonds and profit participating notes are discount rates. Significant increases (decreases) in discount rates would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurements. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of real estate are discount rates and capitalization rates. Significant increases (decreases) in any discount rates or capitalization rates in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of convertible securities are discount rates, price-to-earnings multiple and total book value multiple. Significant increases (decreases) in any discount rates would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of warrants are volatility rates. Significant increases (decreases) in volatility rates would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. Certain investments are valued using the NAV per share equivalent calculated by the investment manager as a practical expedient to determining an independent fair value. Liabilities The debt obligations of certain consolidated VIEs, that are CLOs, were measured on the basis of the fair value of the financial assets of those CLOs as the financial assets were determined to be more observable and, as a result, categorized as Level II in the fair value hierarchy. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s liabilities of consolidated VIEs are discount rates. Significant increases (decreases) in discount rates would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Contingent Consideration Obligations The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the contingent consideration obligations is the discount rate applied in the valuation models. This input in isolation can cause significant increases or decreases in fair value. The discount rate was based on the hypothetical cost of equity in connection with the acquisition of Stone Tower. See note 15 for further discussion of the contingent consideration obligations. Valuation of Underlying Investments of Equity Method Investees As discussed previously, the underlying entities that the Company manages and invests in are primarily investment companies which account for their investments at estimated fair value. On a quarterly basis, Apollo utilizes valuation committees consisting of members from senior management, to review and approve the valuation results related to the investments of the funds it manages. For certain publicly traded vehicles managed by the Company, a review is performed by an independent board of directors. The Company also retains external valuation firms to provide third-party valuation consulting services to Apollo, which consist of certain limited procedures that management identifies and requests them to perform. The limited procedures provided by the external valuation firms assist management with validating their valuation results or determining fair value. The Company performs various back-testing procedures to validate their valuation approaches, including comparisons between expected and observed outcomes, forecast evaluations and variance analyses. However, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material. Credit Investments The majority of investments in Apollo’s credit funds are valued based on quoted market prices and valuation models. Quoted market prices are valued based on the average of the “bid” and the “ask” quotes provided by multiple brokers wherever possible without any adjustments. Apollo will designate certain brokers to use to value specific securities. In order to determine the designated brokers, Apollo considers the following: (i) brokers with which Apollo has previously transacted, (ii) the underwriter of the security and (iii) active brokers indicating executable quotes. In addition, when valuing a security based on broker quotes wherever possible Apollo tests the standard deviation amongst the quotes received and the variance between the concluded fair value and the value provided by a pricing service. When broker quotes are not available Apollo considers the use of pricing service quotes or other sources to mark a position. When relying on a pricing service as a primary source, Apollo (i) analyzes how the price has moved over the measurement period, (ii) reviews the number of brokers included in the pricing service’s population, if available, and (iii) validates the valuation levels with Apollo’s pricing team and traders. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available are valued at fair value utilizing a model based approach to determine fair value. Valuation approaches used to estimate the fair value of illiquid credit investments also may include the market approach and the income approach, as described below. The valuation approaches used consider, as applicable, market risks, credit risks, counterparty risks and foreign currency risks. Private Equity Investments The majority of the illiquid investments within our private equity funds are valued using the market approach, which provides an indication of fair value based on a comparison of the subject company to comparable publicly traded companies and transactions in the industry. Market Approach The market approach is driven by current market conditions, including actual trading levels of similar companies and, to the extent available, actual transaction data of similar companies. Judgment is required by management when assessing which companies are similar to the subject company being valued. Consideration may also be given to any of the following factors: (1) the subject company’s historical and projected financial data; (2) valuations given to comparable companies; (3) the size and scope of the subject company’s operations; (4) the subject company’s individual strengths and weaknesses; (5) expectations relating to the market’s receptivity to an offering of the subject company’s securities; (6) applicable restrictions on transfer; (7) industry and market information; (8) general economic and market conditions; and (9) other factors deemed relevant. Market approach valuation models typically employ a multiple that is based on one or more of the factors described above. Enterprise value as a multiple of EBITDA is common and relevant for most companies and industries, however, other industry specific multiples are employed where available and appropriate. Sources for gaining additional knowledge related to comparable companies include public filings, annual reports, analyst research reports, and press releases. Once a comparable company set is determined, Apollo reviews certain aspects of the subject company’s performance and determines how its performance compares to the group and to certain individuals in the group. Apollo compares certain measurements such as EBITDA margins, revenue growth over certain time periods, leverage ratios and growth opportunities. In addition, Apollo compares the entry multiple and its relation to the comparable set at the time of acquisition to understand its relation to the comparable set on each measurement date. Income Approach For investments where the market approach does not provide adequate fair value information, Apollo relies on the income approach. The income approach is also used to validate the market approach within our private equity funds. The income approach provides an indication of fair value based on the present value of cash flows that a business or security is expected to generate in the future. The most widely used methodology for the income approach is a discounted cash flow method. Inherent in the discounted cash flow method are significant assumptions related to the subject company’s expected results, the determination of a terminal value and a calculated discount rate, which is normally based on the subject company’s weighted average cost of capital, or “WACC.” The WACC represents the required rate of return on total capitalization, which is comprised of a required rate of return on equity, plus the current tax-effected rate of return on debt, weighted by the relative percentages of equity and debt that are typical in the industry. The most critical step in determining the appropriate WACC for each subject company is to select companies that are comparable in nature to the subject company and the credit quality of the subject company. Sources for gaining additional knowledge about the comparable companies include public filings, annual reports, analyst research reports, and press releases. The general formula then used for calculating the WACC considers the after-tax rate of return on debt capital and the rate of return on common equity capital, which further considers the risk-free rate of return, market beta, market risk premium and small stock premium, if applicable. The variables used in the WACC formula are inferred from the comparable market data obtained. The Company evaluates the comparable companies selected and concludes on WACC inputs based on the most comparable company or analyzes the range of data for the investment. Debt securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available are valued at fair value utilizing a model based approach to determine fair value. Valuation approaches used to estimate the fair value of hybrid capital investments also may include the market approach and the income approach, as previously described above. The valuation approaches used consider, as applicable, market risks, credit risks, counterparty risks and foreign currency risks. The value of liquid investments, where the primary market is an exchange (whether foreign or domestic), is determined using period end market prices. Such prices are generally based on the close price on the date of determination. Real Assets Investments The estimated fair value of commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) in Apollo’s real assets funds is determined by reference to market prices provided by certain dealers who make a market in these financial instruments. Broker quotes are only indicative of fair value and may not necessarily represent what the funds would receive in an actual trade for the applicable instrument. Additionally, the loans held-for-investment are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of deferred loan fees and costs for certain investments. The loans in Apollo’s real assets funds are evaluated for possible impairment on a quarterly basis. For Apollo’s real assets funds, valuations of non-marketable underlying investments are determined using methods that include, but are not limited to (i) discounted cash flow estimates or comparable analysis prepared internally, (ii) third party appraisals or valuations by qualified real estate appraisers and (iii) contractual sales value of investments/properties subject to bona fide purchase contracts. Methods (i) and (ii) also incorporate consideration of the use of the income, cost, or sales comparison approaches of estimating property values. Certain of the credit, private equity, and real assets funds may also enter into foreign currency exchange contracts, total return swap contracts, credit default swap contracts, and other derivative contracts, which may include options, caps, collars and floors. Foreign currency exchange contracts are marked-to-market by recognizing the difference between the contract exchange rate and the current market rate as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. If securities are held at the end of the period, the changes in value are recorded in income as unrealized. Realized gains or losses are recognized when contracts are settled. Total return swap and credit default swap contracts are recorded at fair value as an asset or liability with changes in fair value recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Realized gains or losses are recognized at the termination of the contract based on the difference between the close-out price of the total return or credit default swap contract and the original contract price. Forward contracts are valued based on market rates obtained from counterparties or prices obtained from recognized financial data service providers.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES The Company’s income tax (provision) benefit totaled $(203.2) million and $295.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 11.8% and 11.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Under U.S. GAAP, a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Based upon the Company’s review of its federal, state, local and foreign income tax returns and tax filing positions, the Company determined that no material unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions were required to be recorded. In addition, the Company does not believe that it has any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that it will be required to record significant amounts of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. The primary jurisdictions in which the Company operates are the United States and the United Kingdom. There are no unremitted earnings with respect to the United Kingdom and other foreign entities. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by federal, state, local and foreign tax authorities. As of March 31, 2021, the Company’s U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income tax returns for the years 2017 through 2019 are open under the general statute of limitations provisions and therefore subject to examination. Currently, the Internal Revenue Service is examining the tax return of a subsidiary for the 2011 tax year. The State and City of New York are examining certain subsidiaries’ tax returns for tax years 2011 to 2018. The United Kingdom and India tax authorities are currently examining certain subsidiaries’ tax returns for tax year 2017. No provisions with respect to these examinations have been recorded. The Company records deferred tax assets as a result of the step-up in the tax basis of assets and intangibles resulting from exchanges of AOG Units for Class A Common Stock by the Managing and Contributing Partners. A related liability is recorded in due to related parties in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition for the expected payments under the tax receivable agreement entered into by and among APO Corp., the Managing Partners, the Contributing Partners, and other parties thereto (as amended, the “tax receivable agreement”) (see note 14). The benefit the Company obtains from the difference in the tax asset recognized and the related liability results in an increase to additional paid in capital. The amortization period for the portion of the increase in tax basis related to intangibles is 15 years. The realization of the remaining portion of the increase in tax basis relates to the disposition of the underlying assets to which the step-up is attributed. The associated deferred tax assets reverse at the time of the corresponding asset disposition. The table below presents the impact to the deferred tax asset, tax receivable agreement liability and additional paid in capital related to the exchange of AOG Units for Class A Common Stock. Exchange of AOG Units Increase in Deferred Tax Asset Increase in Tax Receivable Agreement Liability Increase to Additional Paid In Capital For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 $ 30,295 $ 25,558 $ 4,737 For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 $ 76,580 $ 62,531 $ 14,049 On March 27, 2020, the U.S. federal government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The CARES Act is an emergency economic stimulus package in response to the coronavirus outbreak which, among other things, contains numerous income tax provisions. The provisions of the CARES Act have not had a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

(2) Participating securities consist of vested and unvested RSUs that have rights to dividends and unvested restricted shares. (3) No allocation of undistributed losses was made to the participating securities as the holders do not have a contractual obligation to share in the losses of the Company with Class A Common Stockholders. (4) For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, all of the classes of securities were determined to be anti-dilutive. The Company has granted RSUs that provide the right to receive, subject to vesting during continued employment, shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Equity Plan. The Company has three types of RSU grants, which we refer to as Plan Grants, Bonus Grants and Performance Grants. “Plan Grants” vest over time (generally one right to receive dividend equivalents on both vested and unvested RSUs on an equal basis with the Class A Common Stockholders any time a dividend is declared. “Performance Grants” generally vest over time ( three Any dividend equivalent paid to an employee will not be returned to the Company upon forfeiture of the award by the employee. Vested and unvested RSUs that are entitled to non-forfeitable dividend equivalents qualify as participating securities and are included in the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share computations using the two-class method. The holder of an RSU participating security would have a contractual obligation to share in the losses of the entity if the holder is obligated to fund the losses of the issuing entity or if the contractual principal or mandatory redemption amount of the participating security is reduced as a result of losses incurred by the issuing entity. The RSU participating securities do not have a mandatory redemption amount and the holders of the participating securities are not obligated to fund losses; therefore, neither the vested RSUs nor the unvested RSUs are subject to any contractual obligation to share in losses of the Company. Certain holders of AOG Units are subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the agreements with the respective holders and may, upon notice (subject to the terms of an exchange agreement), exchange their AOG Units for shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. An AOG Unit holder must exchange one unit in each of the Apollo Operating Group partnerships or limited liability companies to effectuate an exchange for one share of Class A Common Stock. Apollo Global Management, Inc. has one share of Class B common stock, $0.00001 par value per share, of the Company (“Class B Common Stock”) outstanding, which is held by BRH Holdings GP, Ltd. (“BRH”). The voting power of the share of Class B Common Stock is reduced on a one vote per one AOG Unit basis in the event of an exchange of AOG Units for shares of Class A Common Stock, subject to the terms of the AGM Inc. Certificate of Incorporation. The Class B Common Stock has no net income (loss) per share as it does not participate in Apollo’s earnings (losses) or dividends. The Class B Common Stock has no dividend rights and only a de minimis liquidation right. The Class B Common Stock represented 46.6% and 47.2% of the total voting power of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock with respect to the limited matters upon which they were entitled to vote together as a single class pursuant to the Company’s governing documents as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The following table summarizes the anti-dilutive securities.

Athene can only redeem their AOG Units by selling to Apollo or to a different buyer with Apollo’s agreement as detailed in the Liquidity Agreement (see note 15). As these AOG Units are not convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock, they are excluded when calculating diluted net income per share.

EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2021
Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION	EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION Equity-based awards granted to employees and non-employees as compensation are measured based on the grant date fair value of the award. Equity-based awards that do not require future service (i.e., vested awards) are expensed immediately. Equity-based employee awards that require future service are expensed over the relevant service period. Equity-based awards that require performance metrics to be met are expensed only when the performance metric is met or deemed probable. RSUs The Company grants RSUs under the Equity Plan. The fair value of all grants is based on the grant date fair value, which considers the public share price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock subject to certain discounts, as applicable. The following table summarizes the weighted average discounts for Plan Grants, Bonus Grants and Performance Grants. The estimated total grant date fair value for Plan Grants and Bonus Grants is charged to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, which for Plan Grants is generally one During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, the Company awarded Performance Grants of 1.1 million an d 1.4 million RSU s to certain employees with a grant date fair value of $48.8 million an d $58.6 million, respectively, which vest subject to continued employment and the Company’s receipt of performance revenues, within prescribed periods, sufficient to cover the associated equity-based compensation. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company modified Plan Grants of 0.5 million RSUs with a grant date fair value of $15.6 million to Performance Grants of 0.5 million RSUs, respectively. The modification did not result in a change to the grant date fair value of the awards, as performance conditions that impact vesting are not considered in the determination of the fair value of an award and the award is otherwise expected to vest under the original terms. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, equity-based compensation expense for these and other Performance Grants will be recognized on an accelerated recognition method over the requisite service period to the extent the performance revenue metrics are met or deemed probable. Additionally, the Company entered into an agreement in 2018 with several employees under which RSUs would be granted starting in 2020 if year-over-year growth in certain discretionary earnings metrics were attained prior to grant and they remained employed at the grant date. Once granted, the awards vest subject to continued employment and the Company’s receipt of performance revenues sufficient to cover the associated equity-based compensation expense . In connection with these agreements, the Company granted 0.2 million RSUs with a grant date fair value of $7.5 million that were partially vested and fully expensed during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The following table summarizes the equity-based compensation expense recognized relating to Performance Grants: For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Equity-based compensation $ 26,377 $ 28,864 The fair value of all RSU grants made during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $150.3 million a nd $146.6 million, respectively.

As of March 31, 2021, there was $266.3 million of total unrecognized equity-based compensation expense related to unvested RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average term of 2.4 years. Equity-Based Compensation Allocation Equity-based compensation is allocated based on ownership interests. Therefore, the amortization of equity-based compensation is allocated to stockholders’ equity attributable to AGM Inc. and the Non-Controlling Interests, which results in a difference in the amounts charged to equity-based compensation expense and the amounts credited to stockholders’ equity attributable to AGM Inc. in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Equity [Abstract]
EQUITY	EQUITY Common Stock Holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to participate in dividends from the Company on a pro rata basis. As of March 31, 2021, the holders of Class A Common Stock had limited voting rights. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company issued shares of Class A Common Stock in settlement of vested RSUs. The Company has generally allowed holders of vested RSUs and exercised share options to settle their tax liabilities by reducing the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued to them, which the Company refers to as “net share settlement.” Additionally, the Company has generally allowed holders of share options to settle their exercise price by reducing the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued to them at the time of exercise by an amount sufficient to cover the exercise price. The net share settlement results in a liability for the Company and a corresponding accumulated deficit adjustment. In January 2019, Apollo increased its authorized share repurchase amount by $250 million, bringing the total authorized repurchase amount to $500 million. On March 12, 2020, Apollo announced that the executive committee of the Company’s board of directors approved a new share repurchase authorization that allows the Company to repurchase up to $500 million of its Class A common stock. This new authorization increased the Company’s capacity to repurchase shares from $80 million of unused capacity under the Company’s previously approved the share repurchase plan authorization. The share repurchase plan authorization may be used to repurchase outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock as well as to reduce the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued to employees to satisfy associated tax obligations in connection with the settlement of equity-based awards granted under the Equity Plan (or any successor equity plan thereto). Shares of Class A Common Stock may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to a trading plan adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise, with the size and timing of these repurchases depending on legal requirements, price, market and economic conditions and other factors. Apollo is not obligated under the terms of the program to repurchase any of its shares of Class A Common Stock. The repurchase program has no expiration date and may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time without prior notice. The table below summarizes the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock for equity-based awards: For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Shares of Class A Common Stock issued in settlement of vested RSUs and share options exercised (1) 2,363,605 3,691,819 Reduction of shares of Class A Common Stock issued (2) (943,997) (1,524,189) Shares of Class A Common Stock purchased related to share issuances and forfeitures (3) — 628,657 Issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock for equity-based awards 1,419,608 2,796,287 (1) The gross value of shares issued wa s $120.3 million and $169.5 million f or the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, based on the closing price of a Class A Common Stock at the time of issuance. (2) Cash paid for tax liabilities associated with net share settlement was $48.1 million and $69.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. (3) Certain Apollo employees receive a portion of the profit sharing proceeds of certain funds in the form of (a) restricted Class A Common Stock of AGM that they are required to purchase with such proceeds or (b) RSUs, in each case which equity-based awards generally vest over three years. These equity-based awards are granted under the Company's 2007 Equity Plan. To prevent dilution on account of these awards, Apollo may, in its discretion, repurchase Class A Common Stock on the open market and retire them. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we is sued 0 and 636,314 of such restricted shares and 269,641 and 139,455 of such RSUs under the 2007 Equity Plan, respectively, and repurchased 0 and 0 Class A Common Stock in open-market transactions not pursuant to a publicly-announced repurchase plan or program, respectively. In addition, there were 0 and 7,657 restricted shares forfeited during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company did not repurchase any shares of Class A Common Stock in open market transactions as part of the publicly announced share repurchase program discussed above. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, 2,194,095 shares of Class A Common Stock were repurchased in open market transactions and such shares were subsequently canceled by the Company. The Company paid $64.2 million for these open market share repurchases during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Preferred Stock Issuance On March 7, 2017, Apollo issued 11,000,000 6.375% Series A Preferred shares (the “Series A Preferred shares”) for gross proceeds of $275.0 million, or $264.4 million net of issuance costs and on March 19, 2018, Apollo issued 12,000,000 6.375% Series B Preferred shares (the “Series B Preferred shares” and collectively with the Series A Preferred shares, the “Preferred shares”) for gross proceeds of $300.0 million, or $289.8 million net of issuance costs. As a result of the conversion to a corporation, (i) each Series A Preferred share representing limited liability company interests of Apollo Global Management, LLC (“AGM LLC”) outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the conversion converted into one issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable share of Series A Preferred Stock, having a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, of the Company and (ii) each Series B Preferred share representing limited liability company interests of AGM LLC outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the conversion converted into one issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable share of Series B Preferred Stock, having a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, of the Company (the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock collectively, the “Preferred Stock”). When, as and if declared by the executive committee of the board of directors of AGM Inc., dividends on the Preferred Stock will be payable quarterly on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2018 for the Series B Preferred Stock, at a rate per annum equal to 6.375%. Dividends on the Preferred Stock are discretionary and non-cumulative. During 2020, quarterly cash dividends were $0.398438 per share of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock. Subject to certain exceptions, unless dividends have been declared and paid or declared and set apart for payment on the Preferred Stock for a quarterly dividend period, during the remainder of that dividend period Apollo may not declare or pay or set apart payment for dividends on any shares of Class A Common Stock or any other equity securities that the Company may issue in the future ranking as to the payment of dividends, junior to the Preferred Stock (“Junior Stock”) and Apollo may not repurchase any Junior Stock. These restrictions were not applicable during the initial dividend period, which was the period from March 19, 2018 to but excluding June 15, 2018 for the Series B Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock may be redeemed at Apollo’s option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after March 15, 2022 and March 15, 2023, respectively, at a price of $25.00 per share of Preferred Stock, plus declared and unpaid dividends to, but excluding, the redemption date, without payment of any undeclared dividends. Holders of the Preferred Stock will have no right to require the redemption of the Preferred Stock and there is no maturity date. If a certain change of control event or a certain tax redemption event occurs prior to March 15, 2022 and March 15, 2023 for the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock, respectively, the Preferred Stock may be redeemed at Apollo’s option, in whole but not in part, upon at least 30 days’ notice, within 60 days of the occurrence of such change of control event or such tax redemption event, as applicable, at a price of $25.25 per share of Preferred Stock, plus declared and unpaid dividends to, but excluding, the redemption date, without payment of any undeclared dividends. If a certain rating agency event occurs prior to March 15, 2023, the Series B Preferred Stock may be redeemed at Apollo’s option, in whole but not in part, upon at least 30 days’ notice, within 60 days of the occurrence of such rating agency event, at a price of $25.50 per share of Series B Preferred Stock, plus declared and unpaid dividends to, but excluding, the redemption date, without payment of any undeclared dividends. If (i) a change of control event occurs (whether before, on or after March 15, 2022 and March 15, 2023 for the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock, respectively) and (ii) Apollo does not give notice prior to the 31st day following the change of control event to redeem all the outstanding Preferred Stock, the dividend rate per annum on the Preferred Stock will increase by 5.00%, beginning on the 31st day following such change of control event. The Preferred Stock are not convertible into Class A Common Stock and have no voting rights, except in limited circumstances as provided in the Company’s certificate of incorporation. In connection with the issuance of the Preferred Stock, certain Apollo Operating Group entities issued for the benefit of Apollo a series of preferred units with economic terms that mirror those of the Preferred Stock. Dividends and Distributions The table below presents information regarding the quarterly dividends and distributions which were made at the sole discretion of the executive committee of the board of directors (in millions, except per share data). Certain subsidiaries of AGM Inc. may be subject to U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income taxes at the entity level and may pay taxes and/or make payments under the tax receivable agreement in a given fiscal year; therefore, the net amounts ultimately distributed by AGM Inc. to its Class A Common Stockholders in respect of each fiscal year are generally expected to be less than the net amounts distributed to AOG Unitholders.

These costs are normally reimbursed by such funds and are included in due from related parties. Other related party transactions include loans to employees and periodic sales of ownership interests in Apollo funds to employees. Due from related parties and due to related parties are comprised of the following: As of As of Due from Related Parties: Due from credit funds $ 187,044 $ 183,992 Due from private equity funds 25,528 21,169 Due from real assets funds 33,002 28,231 Due from portfolio companies 87,507 80,122 Due from Contributing Partners, employees and former employees 101,628 148,869 Total Due from Related Parties $ 434,709 $ 462,383 Due to Related Parties: Due to Managing Partners and Contributing Partners $ 333,848 $ 310,230 Due to credit funds 35,590 34,280 Due to private equity funds 108,735 216,899 Due to real assets funds 41,784 47,060 Total Due to Related Parties $ 519,957 $ 608,469 Tax Receivable Agreement Subject to certain restrictions, each of the Managing Partners and Contributing Partners has the right to exchange his vested AOG Units for the Company’s Class A Common Stock. All Operating Group entities have made, or will make, an election under Section 754 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), which will result in an adjustment to the tax basis of the assets owned by the Apollo Operating Group at the time of the exchange. These exchanges will result in increases in the basis of underlying assets that will reduce the amount of tax that AGM Inc. and its subsidiaries will otherwise be required to pay in the future. The tax receivable agreement provides for the payment to the Managing Partners and Contributing Partners of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income taxes that AGM Inc. and its subsidiaries realizes as a result of the increases in tax basis of assets that resulted from the 2007 Reorganization, the Conversion, and other exchanges of AOG Units for Class A Common Stock that have occurred in prior years. AGM Inc. and its subsidiaries retain the benefit from the remaining 15% of actual cash tax savings. If the Company does not make the required annual payment on a timely basis as outlined in the tax receivable agreement, interest is accrued on the balance until the payment date. As a result of the exchanges of AOG Units for Class A Common Stock during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, a $25.6 million and $62.5 million liability was recorded, respectively, to estimate the amount of the future expected payments to be made by AGM Inc. and its subsidiaries to the Managing Partners and Contributing Partners pursuant to the tax receivable agreement. Pursuant to the binding governance term sheet the Company entered into with the Managing Partners, all AOG Units beneficially owned by each holder of AOG Units (other than Athene) will be transferred to a wholly-owned subsidiary of a newly formed holding company (“NewCo”) and one or more of its affiliates in a series of transactions in exchange for (i) such number of shares of Class A common stock of NewCo equal to the aggregate number of AOG Units beneficially owned by such AOG Unit owners as of immediately prior to the mandatory exchange (such AOG Units, the “Outstanding AOG Units”) and (ii) an aggregate amount in cash equal to the product of (a) number of Outstanding AOG Units multiplied by (b) $3.66, payable over a period of four years in equal quarterly installments (the “AOG Unit Payment”); provided, however, that in the event that the Company consummates the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement simultaneously with the mandatory exchange, the AOG Unit Payment will be payable over the period between the date on which the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are consummated and the third anniversary of the Mandatory Exchange Date in equal quarterly installments (such transactions collectively, the “mandatory exchange”). The term sheet also states that the tax receivable agreement will not be applicable for the mandatory exchange, but will remain in effect for any exchanges occurring prior to the mandatory exchange date. Due from Contributing Partners, Employees and Former Employees As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, due from Contributing Partners, Employees and Former Employees includes various amounts due to the Company including employee loans and return of profit sharing distributions. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the balance included interest-bearing employee loans receivable of $17.1 million and $17.5 million, respectively. The outstanding principal amount of the loans as well as all accrued and unpaid interest is required to be repaid at the earlier of the eighth anniversary of the date of the relevant loan or at the date of the relevant employee’s resignation from the Company. The Company recorded a receivable from the Contributing Partners and certain employees and former employees for the potential return of profit sharing distributions that would be due if certain funds were liquidated as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 of $75.7 million and $124.1 million, respectively. Indemnity Performance revenues from certain funds can be distributed to the Company on a current basis, but are subject to repayment by the subsidiaries of the Apollo Operating Group that act as general partners of the funds in the event that certain specified return thresholds are not ultimately achieved. The Managing Partners, Contributing Partners and certain other investment professionals have personally guaranteed, subject to certain limitations, the obligations of these subsidiaries in respect of this general partner obligation. Such guarantees are several and not joint and are limited to a particular Managing Partner’s or Contributing Partner’s distributions. Pursuant to an existing shareholders agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify each of the Company’s Managing Partners and certain Contributing Partners against all amounts that they pay pursuant to any of these personal guarantees in favor of certain funds that the Company manages (including costs and expenses related to investigating the basis for or objecting to any claims made in respect of the guarantees) for all interests that the Company’s Managing Partners and Contributing Partners have contributed or sold to the Apollo Operating Group. Accordingly, in the event that the Company’s Managing Partners, Contributing Partners and certain investment professionals are required to pay amounts in connection with a general partner obligation for the return of previously made distributions with respect to Fund IV, Fund V and Fund VI, the Company will be obligated to reimburse the Company’s Managing Partners and certain Contributing Partners for the indemnifiable percentage of amounts that they are required to pay even though the Company did not receive the certain distribution to which that general partner obligation related. The Company recorded an indemnification liability of $12.8 million and $12.8 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Due to Credit, Private Equity and Real Assets Funds Based upon an assumed liquidation of certain of the credit, private equity and real assets funds the Company manages, the Company has recorded a general partner obligation to return previously distributed performance allocations, which represents amounts due to these funds. The general partner obligation is recognized based upon an assumed liquidation of a fund’s net assets as of the reporting date. The actual determination and any required payment of any such general partner obligation would not take place until the final disposition of a fund’s investments based on the contractual termination of the fund or as otherwise set forth in the respective limited partnership agreement or other governing document of the fund. The following table presents the general partner obligation to return previously distributed performance allocations related to certain funds by segment: As of As of Credit $ — $ — Private Equity 107,383 215,011 Real Assets 41,608 46,860 Total general partner obligation $ 148,991 $ 261,871 Athene Athene Holding, through its subsidiaries, is a leading retirement services company that issues, reinsures and acquires retirement savings products designed for the increasing number of individuals and institutions seeking to fund retirement needs.

On September 20, 2018, Athene and Apollo agreed to revise the existing fee arrangements (the “amended fee agreement”) between Athene and Apollo. The Company began recording fees pursuant to the amended fee agreement on January 1, 2019. The amended fee agreement provides for sub-allocation fees which vary based on portfolio allocation differentiation, as described below. The amended fee agreement provides for a monthly fee to be payable by Athene to the Company in arrears, with retroactive effect to the month beginning on January 1, 2019, in an amount equal to the following, to the extent not otherwise payable to the Company pursuant to any one or more investment management or sub-advisory agreements or arrangements: (i) The Company, through its consolidated subsidiary Apollo Insurance Solutions Group LP, or ISG, earns a base management fee of 0.225% per year on the aggregate market value of substantially all of the assets in substantially all of the investment accounts of or relating to Athene (collectively, the “Athene Accounts”) up to $103.4 billion (the level of assets in the Athene Accounts as of January 1, 2019, excluding certain assets, the “Backbook Value”) and 0.150% per year on all assets in excess of $103.4 billion (the “Incremental Value”), respectively; plus (ii) with respect to each asset in an Athene Account, subject to certain exceptions, that is managed by the Company and that belongs to a specified asset class tier (“core,” “core plus,” “yield,” and “high alpha”), a sub-allocation fee as follows, which will, in the case of assets acquired after January 1, 2019, be subject to a cap of 10% of the applicable asset’s gross book yield: As of Sub-Allocation Fees: Core Assets (1) 0.065 % Core Plus Assets (2) 0.130 % Yield Assets (3) 0.375 % High Alpha Assets (4) 0.700 % Other Assets (5) — % (1) Core assets include public investment grade corporate bonds, municipal securities, agency residential or commercial mortgage backed securities and obligations of any governmental agency or government sponsored entity that is not expressly backed by the U.S. government. (2) Core plus assets include private investment grade corporate bonds, fixed rate first lien commercial mortgage loans and obligations issued or assumed by a financial institution (such an institution, a “financial issuer”) and determined by Apollo to be “Tier 2 Capital” under the Basel III recommendations developed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor to such recommendations).

Athene and Apollo Strategic Transaction On October 28, 2019 Athene Holding, AGM Inc. and the entities that form the Apollo Operating Group entered into a Transaction Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things: • (i) Athene Holding issued, on February 28, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), 35,534,942 Class A common shares of Athene Holding (the “AHL Class A Common Shares”) to certain subsidiaries of the Apollo Operating Group in exchange for (i) issuance by the Apollo Operating Group of 29,154,519 non-voting equity interests of the Apollo Operating Group to AHL and (ii) $350 million in cash (“Share Issuance”); • Athene Holding granted to AGM Inc. the right to purchase additional AHL Class A Common Shares from the Closing Date until 180 days thereafter to the extent the issued and outstanding AHL Class A Common Shares beneficially owned by Apollo and certain of its related parties and employees (collectively, the “Apollo Parties”) (inclusive of AHL Class A Common Shares over which any such persons have a valid proxy) do not equal at least 35% of the issued and outstanding AHL Class A Common Shares, on a fully diluted basis; • A representative of the Apollo Operating Group has the right to purchase up to that number of AHL Class A Common Shares that would increase by up to 5% the percentage of the issued and outstanding AHL Class A Common Shares beneficially owned by the Apollo Parties (inclusive of AHL Class A Common Shares over which any such persons have a valid proxy), calculated on a fully diluted basis; • Athene Holding amended and restated its Twelfth Amended and Restated Bye-laws of Athene Holding to, among other items, eliminate Athene Holding’s multi-class share structure (“Multi-Class Share Elimination”). In connection with the Multi-Class Share Elimination, (i) all of the Class B common shares of Athene Holding would be converted into an equal number of AHL Class A Common Shares on a one-for-one basis and (ii) all of the Class M common shares of Athene Holding were converted into a combination of AHL Class A Common Shares and warrants to purchase AHL Class A Common Shares. On February 28, 2020, Apollo and Athene closed on the strategic transaction discussed above. In connection with the transaction, Apollo purchased a 17% incremental equity stake in Athene at a premium, bringing Apollo’s beneficial ownership in Athene to 28%, or 35% including shares and warrants owned by related parties and employees, on a fully diluted basis. Apollo entered into a lock-up agreement restricting transfers of Apollo’s existing and newly acquired shares of Athene for three years from the Closing Date. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company held a 28.5% and an 28.5% ownership interest in the AHL Class A Common Shares, respectively. Liquidity Agreement In connection with the consummation of the Share Issuance and the Multi-Class Share Elimination, AGM Inc. also entered into a Liquidity Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, with Athene Holding (the “Liquidity Agreement”), pursuant to which, once each quarter, Athene Holding is entitled to request to sell a number of AOG Units or request AGM Inc. to sell a number of shares of AGM Inc. Class A Common Stock or AOG Units representing at least $50 million, in each case, in exchange for payment of the Cash Amount (as defined below). If Athene Holding intends to exercise such sale request, it will provide a notice of such intent to sell such AOG Units to AGM Inc. Upon receipt of such notice, subject to certain restrictions described below, AGM Inc. will consummate, or, in the case of an AOG Transaction (as defined below), permit the consummation of, one of the following transactions: • a transaction whereby AGM Inc. purchases AOG Units from Athene Holding at a price agreed upon, in good faith, by AGM Inc. and Athene Holding (a “Purchase Transaction”); • if Athene Holding and AGM Inc. do not agree to consummate a Purchase Transaction, AGM Inc. will use its best efforts to consummate a public offering of AGM Inc. Class A Common Stock, the proceeds (net of certain commissions, fees and expenses consistent with customary and prevailing market practices for similar offerings) of which will be used to fund the purchase of AOG Units from Athene Holding (a “Registered Sale”); • if AGM Inc. notifies Athene Holding that it cannot consummate a Registered Sale, upon Athene Holding’s request, AGM Inc. will use its best efforts to consummate a sale of AGM Inc. Class A Common Stock pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, the proceeds (net of certain commissions, fees and expenses consistent with customary and prevailing market practices for similar offerings) of which will be used to fund the purchase of AOG Units from Athene Holding (a “Private Placement,” and collectively with a Purchase Transaction and a Registered Sale, a “Sale Transaction”); or • if AGM Inc. elects (in its sole discretion) not to consummate a Sale Transaction, Athene Holding will be permitted to sell AOG Units in one or more transactions that are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject to certain restrictions (an “AOG Transaction”). For purposes of this description, “Cash Amount” means (i) in the case of a Registered Sale, the cash proceeds that AGM Inc. receives upon the consummation of a Registered Sale after deducting a capped amount of documented commissions, fees and expenses, (ii) in the case of a Purchase Transaction, the cash proceeds to which AGM Inc. and Athene Holding agree, (iii) in the case of a Private Placement, the cash proceeds that AGM Inc. receives upon the consummation of a Private Placement after deducting a capped amount of documented commissions, fees and expenses and (iv) in the case of an AOG Transaction, the cash proceeds to which the purchaser and Athene Holding agree. Each of the Purchase Transaction, Private Placement, Registered Sale and AOG Transaction are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Liquidity Agreement. In the event that an AOG Transaction is consummated, the buyer of such AOG Units will be prohibited from exchanging such AOG Units into AGM Inc. Class A Common Stock for at least 30 days after such purchase. Athene Holding is prohibited from consummating an AOG Transaction with any purchaser (i) who would, after giving effect to such transfer, own more than 3.5% of the issued and outstanding AGM Inc. Class A Common Stock (on a fully-diluted basis) or (ii) who is a “bad actor” (as defined in Regulation D of the Act) or otherwise a prohibited transferee, as described in the Liquidity Agreement. Athene Holding’s liquidity rights are subject to certain other limitations and obligations, including that in a Registered Sale or a Private Placement, AGM Inc. will not be required to sell any AGM Inc. Class A Common Stock at a price that is less than 90% of the volume-weighted average price of the AGM Inc. Class A Common Stock for the 10 consecutive business days prior to the day Athene Holding submits a notice for sale of AOG Units. The Liquidity Agreement also provides that Athene Holding is prohibited from transferring its AOG Units other than to an affiliate or pursuant to the options set forth above. AGM Inc. has the right not to consummate a Registered Sale or a Private Placement if the recipient of the Class A Common Stock would receive more than 2.0% of the outstanding and issued shares of AGM Inc. Class A Common Stock. Additionally, AGM Inc. has the right not to consummate an AOG Transaction if the recipient would, following such AOG Transaction, be the beneficial owner of greater than 3.5% of the AOG Units. Merger Agreement On March 8, 2021, AGM Inc. entered into the Merger Agreement with AHL, HoldCo, AHL Merger Sub, and AGM Merger Sub. The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, AGM Inc. and AHL will effect an all-stock merger transaction to combine their respective businesses through: (a) the AHL Merger, with AHL as the surviving entity in the AHL Merger and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo and (b) the AGM Merger with AGM as the surviving entity in the AGM Merger and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo. The Mergers are intended to become effective concurrently and, upon the consummation of the Mergers, AGM Inc. and AHL will be direct wholly owned subsidiaries of HoldCo. Following the Mergers and the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, HoldCo will be renamed “Apollo Global Management, Inc.” The transaction is expected to close in January of 2022. The transaction requires the approval of stockholders of both Apollo and AHL, and is subject to, among other things, antitrust and regulatory approvals, and other customary closing conditions. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, which has been approved by the boards of directors of both companies, as well as the conflicts committee of AGM’s board and a special committee of certain disinterested members of the board of directors of AHL, at the effective time of the AHL Merger, each issued and outstanding share of AHL Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“AHL shares”) (other than AHL shares held by AHL as treasury shares (including HoldCo, AHL Merger Sub, AGM Merger Sub and the respective controlled funds of AGM Inc. or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AGM Inc.)), will be converted automatically into the right to receive 1.149 duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of HoldCo (such shares, “HoldCo Shares”) and any cash paid in lieu of fractional HoldCo Shares. The exchange ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted for changes in the market value of the AGM Class A Shares or the AHL Shares. No fractional HoldCo Shares will be issued in connection with the AHL Merger, and AHL’s shareholders will receive cash in lieu of any fractional HoldCo Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the AGM Merger, each issued and outstanding share of AGM Inc. Class A shares (other than Class A shares (a) held by AGM Inc. as treasury shares or (b) by AGM Merger Sub or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AGM Inc.) will be converted automatically into one (1) HoldCo Share. At the effective time of the AGM Merger, each of the issued and outstanding series of preferred shares of AGM Inc. will remain issued and outstanding as preferred shares of the AGM Surviving Entity, and at the effective time of the AHL Merger, each of the issued and outstanding preferred shares of AHL will remain issued and outstanding as preferred shares of the AHL Surviving Entity, in each case as described further in the Merger Agreement. At the effective time of the AHL Merger, each of the issued and outstanding warrants of AHL that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the AHL Merger will, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder of an AHL warrant, remain outstanding in accordance with its terms, or, alternatively, be exchanged for such consideration from HoldCo in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement as may be agreed in writing by AGM Inc. and AHL prior to the effective time of the AHL Merger. At the effective time of the AHL Merger, each outstanding option to purchase AHL Shares, award of restricted AHL Shares and award of AHL restricted share units will be converted into a similar award (with the same terms and conditions) with respect to HoldCo Shares based on the exchange ratio, in each case, as described further in the Merger Agreement; except that outstanding awards of restricted AHL Shares and AHL restricted share units, in each case, that are subject to performance-based vesting conditions, will convert into time-based awards with respect to HoldCo Shares based on the applicable target-level of performance and will vest at the end of the applicable performance period. At the effective time of the AGM Merger, each outstanding option to purchase AGM Inc. Class A shares, award of restricted AGM Inc. Class A shares and award of AGM Inc. restricted share units will be converted into a similar award (with the same terms and conditions, including any performance conditions) with respect to HoldCo Shares, in each case, as described further in the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights and provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement, AGM Inc. will be obligated to pay AHL a cash termination fee of $81.9 million if: (i) the board of directors of AGM Inc. withdraws, suspends, withholds or in any manner adverse to AHL amends its recommendation of approval of the AGM Merger and the Merger Agreement by AGM stockholders, and (ii) AGM Inc. stockholder approval of the AGM Merger and the Merger Agreement is not obtained at the AGM Inc. stockholder meeting at which the AGM Merger and the Merger Agreement is submitted for approval. Athora The Company, through ISGI, provides investment advisory services to certain portfolio companies of Apollo funds and Athora, a strategic platform that acquires or reinsures blocks of insurance business in the German and broader European life insurance market (collectively, the “Athora Accounts”). The Company had commitments to make additional equity investments in Athora of $293.3 million as of March 31, 2021, subject to certain conditions. Athora Sub-Advised The Company, through ISGI, provides sub-advisory services with respect to a portion of the assets in certain portfolio companies of Apollo funds and the Athora Accounts. The Company broadly refers to “Athora Sub-Advised” assets as those assets in the Athora Accounts which the Company explicitly sub-advises as well as those assets in the Athora Accounts which are invested directly in funds and investment vehicles Apollo manages. The Company earns a base management fee on the aggregate market value of substantially all of the investment accounts of or relating to Athora and also a sub-advisory fee on the Athora Sub-Advised assets, which varies depending on the specific asset class. The following table presents the revenues earned in aggregate from Athene and Athora: For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Revenues earned in aggregate from Athene and Athora, net (1)(2) $ 616,631 $ (1,125,493) (1) Consisting of management fees, sub-advisory fees, performance revenues (net of related profit sharing expense) and changes in the market value of the Athene Holding shares owned directly by Apollo. (2) Gains (losses) on the market value of the shares of Athene Holding owned directly by Apollo were $354.4 million and $(1.3) billion for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 , respectively. AINV Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Management Agreement On May 17, 2018, the board of directors of AINV approved an amended and restated investment advisory management agreement with Apollo Investment Management, L.P., the Company’s consolidated subsidiary, which reduced the base management fee and revised the incentive fee on income to include a total return requirement. Effective April 1, 2018, the base management fee was reduced from 2.0% to 1.5% of the average value of AINV’s gross assets (excluding cash or cash equivalents but including other assets purchased with borrowed amounts) at the end of each of the two most recently completed calendar quarters; provided, however, the base management fee would be 1.0% of the average value of AINV’s gross assets (excluding cash or cash equivalents but including other assets purchased with borrowed amounts) that exceeds the product of (i) 200% and (ii) the value of AINV’s net asset value at the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter. In addition, beginning January 1, 2019, the incentive fee on income calculation included a total return requirement with a rolling twelve quarter look-back starting from April 1, 2018. The incentive fee rate remained 20% and the performance threshold remained 1.75% per quarter (7% annualized). Regulated Entities Apollo Global Securities, LLC (“AGS”) is a registered broker dealer with the SEC and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, subject to the minimum net capital requirements of the SEC. AGS was in compliance with these requirements at March 31, 2021. From time to time, this entity is involved in transactions with related parties of Apollo, including portfolio companies of the funds Apollo manages, whereby AGS earns underwriting and transaction fees for its services. Investment in SPACs On October 6, 2020, APSG, a SPAC, completed an initial public offering, ultimately raising total gross proceeds of $817 million, including the underwriters’ subsequent partial exercise of their over-allotment option.

APSG Sponsor, L.P. also holds Class B ordinary shares of APSG. Apollo currently consolidates APSG as a voting interest entity, and thus all private placement warrants and Class B ordinary shares are eliminated in consolidation. On February 12, 2021, APGB, a SPAC, completed an initial public offering, raising total gross proceeds of $690 million, including the underwriters’ exercise in full of their over-allotment option. In a private placement concurrent with the initial public offering, APGB sold warrants to APSG Sponsor II, L.P., a subsidiary of Apollo, for total gross proceeds of $15.6 million. APSG Sponsor II, L.P. also holds Class B ordinary shares of APGB.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Investment Commitments— As a limited partner, general partner and manager of the Apollo funds, Apollo had unfunded capital commitments as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 of $1.0 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively, of which $347.9 million and $348.0 million related to Fund IX. Debt Covenants— Apollo’s debt obligations contain various customary loan covenants. As of March 31, 2021, the Company was not aware of any instances of non-compliance with the financial covenants contained in the documents governing the Company’s debt obligations. Litigation and Contingencies — Apollo is, from time to time, party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business including claims and lawsuits, reviews, investigations or proceedings by governmental and self-regulatory agencies regarding its business. On August 3, 2017, a complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida against AGM Inc., a senior partner of Apollo and a former principal of Apollo by Michael McEvoy on behalf of a purported class of employees of subsidiaries of CEVA Group, LLC (“CEVA Group”) who purchased shares in CEVA Investment Limited (“CIL”), the former parent company of CEVA Group. The complaint alleged that the defendants breached fiduciary duties to and defrauded the plaintiffs by inducing them to purchase shares in CIL and subsequently participating in a debt restructuring of CEVA Group in which shareholders of CIL did not receive a recovery. On February 9, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York held that the claims asserted in the complaint were assets of CIL, which is a chapter 7 debtor, and that the complaint was null and void as a violation of the automatic stay. McEvoy subsequently revised his complaint to attempt to assert claims that do not belong to CIL. The amended complaint no longer named any individual defendants, but Apollo Management VI, L.P. and CEVA Group were added as defendants. The amended complaint sought damages of approximately €30 million and asserts, among other things, claims for violations of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, breach of fiduciary duties, and breach of contract. On December 7, 2018, after receiving permission from the Bankruptcy Court, McEvoy filed his amended complaint in the District Court in Florida. On January 18, 2019, Apollo filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. A hearing on that motion was held December 3, 2019. On January 6, 2020, the Florida court granted in part Apollo’s motion to dismiss, dismissing McEvoy’s Investment Advisers Act claim with prejudice, and denying without prejudice Apollo’s motion with respect to the remaining claims, and directing the parties to conduct limited discovery, and submit new briefing, solely with respect to the statute of limitations. On July 30, 2020, Apollo and CEVA filed a joint motion for summary judgment on statute of limitations grounds. Apollo believes the claims in this action are without merit. Because this action is in the early stages, no reasonable estimate of possible loss, if any, can be made at this time. On December 21, 2017, Harbinger Capital Partners II, LP, Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd., Harbinger Capital Partners Special Situations Fund, L.P., Harbinger Capital Partners Special Situations GP, LLC, Harbinger Capital Partners Offshore Manager, L.L.C., Global Opportunities Breakaway Ltd. (in voluntary liquidation), and Credit Distressed Blue Line Master Fund, Ltd. (collectively, “Harbinger”) commenced an action in New York Supreme Court captioned Harbinger Capital Partners II LP et al. v. Apollo Global Management LLC, et al. (No. 657515/2017). The complaint named as defendants (i) AGM Inc., (ii) the funds managed by Apollo that invested in SkyTerra Communications, Inc. (“SkyTerra”) equity before selling their interests to Harbinger under an April 2008 agreement that closed in 2010, and (iii) six former SkyTerra directors, five of whom are current or former Apollo employees. The complaint alleged that during the period of Harbinger’s various equity and debt investments in SkyTerra, from 2004 to 2010, the defendants concealed from Harbinger material defects in SkyTerra technology that was to be used to create a new mobile wi-fi network. The complaint alleged that Harbinger would not have made investments in SkyTerra totaling approximately $1.9 billion had it known of the defects, and that the public disclosure of these defects ultimately led to SkyTerra filing for bankruptcy in 2012 (after it had been renamed LightSquared). The complaint asserted claims against (i) all defendants for fraud, civil conspiracy, and negligent misrepresentation, (ii) AGM Inc. and the Apollo-managed funds only for breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, and unjust enrichment, and (iii) the SkyTerra director defendants only for aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty. The complaint sought $1.9 billion in damages, as well as punitive damages, interest, costs, and fees. This action was stayed from February 14, 2018, through June 12, 2019. On February 14, 2018, the defendants moved the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York to reopen the LightSquared bankruptcy proceeding for the limited purpose of enforcing Harbinger’s assignment and release in that bankruptcy of the claims that it asserted in the New York state court action (the “Bankruptcy Motion”). Briefing and hearing on the Bankruptcy Motion were adjourned while the state court stay was pending. On June 12, 2019, Harbinger voluntarily discontinued the state action without prejudice subject to a tolling agreement, and Apollo voluntarily withdrew the Bankruptcy Motion subject to a right to refile the motion if Harbinger were to refile the state court action. On June 8, 2020, Harbinger refiled its litigation in New York Supreme Court, captioned Harbinger Capital Partners II, LP et al. v. Apollo Global Management, LLC et al. (No. 652342/2020). The complaint adds eight new defendants: two former SkyTerra executives, one former SkyTerra consultant, and five entities (four of whom have since been dismissed) that were Harbinger’s counterparties in a transaction involving TVCC One Six Holdings LLC (“TVCC”). It also adds three new claims relating to Harbinger’s contention that the new defendants induced Harbinger to buy TVCC to support SkyTerra’s network even though they allegedly knew that the network had material defects. The parties agreed to stay this action until November 15, 2020. On November 23, 2020, Defendants refiled the Bankruptcy Motion, and on November 24, 2020, filed in the state court a motion to stay the state court proceedings pending a ruling by the Bankruptcy Court on the Bankruptcy Motion. On February 1, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court denied the Bankruptcy Motion. On March 31, 2021, Defendants filed their motions to dismiss the New York Supreme Court action. Harbinger’s oppositions to those motions are due on June 15, 2021, and Defendants’ replies are due on July 29, 2021. Apollo believes the claims in this action are without merit. Because this action is in the early stages, no reasonable estimate of possible loss, if any, can be made at this time. Five shareholders filed substantially similar putative class action lawsuits in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida in March, April, and May 2018, alleging violations of the Securities Act in connection with the January 19, 2018 IPO of ADT Inc. common stock. The actions were consolidated on July 10, 2018, and the case was re-captioned, In re ADT Inc. Shareholder Litigation . On August 24, 2018, the state-court plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint naming as defendants ADT Inc., several ADT officers and directors, the IPO underwriters (including Apollo Global Securities, LLC), AGM Inc. and certain other Apollo affiliates. Plaintiffs generally alleged that the registration statement and prospectus for the IPO contained false and misleading statements and failed to disclose material information about certain litigation in which ADT was involved, ADT’s efforts to protect its intellectual property, and competitive pressures ADT faced. Defendants filed motions to dismiss the consolidated complaint on October 23, 2018, and those motions were fully briefed. On May 21, 2018, a similar shareholder class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, naming as defendants ADT, several officers and directors, and AGM Inc. The federal action, captioned Perdomo v. ADT Inc. , generally alleged that the registration statement was materially misleading because it failed to disclose ongoing deterioration in ADT’s financial results, along with certain customer and business metrics. On July 20, 2018, several alleged ADT shareholders filed competing motions to be named lead plaintiff in the federal action. On November 20, 2018, the court appointed a lead plaintiff, and on January 15, 2019, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint. The amended complaint named the same Apollo-affiliated defendants as the state-court action, along with three new Apollo entities. Defendants filed motions to dismiss on March 25, 2019. On July 26, 2019, the state court denied defendants’ motions to dismiss, except it reserved judgment on the question whether it has personal jurisdiction over certain defendants, including the Apollo defendants. On September 12, 2019, all parties to the state and federal actions reached a settlement in principle that would resolve both actions. The plaintiffs in the federal action voluntarily dismissed their action on October 28, 2019, and the settlement was submitted to the state court for approval. On January 8, 2021, the state court entered a final order and judgment approving the settlement and dismissing the state action with prejudice. The settlement requires no payment from any Apollo defendants. On May 3, 2018, Caldera Holdings Ltd, Caldera Life Reinsurance Company, and Caldera Shareholder, L.P. (collectively, “Caldera”) filed a summons with notice in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, naming as defendants AGM Inc., Apollo Management, L.P., Apollo Advisors VIII, L.P., Apollo Capital Management VIII, LLC, Athene Asset Management, L.P., Athene Holding, Ltd., and Leon Black (collectively, “Defendants” and all but Athene Holding, Ltd., the “Apollo Defendants”). On July 12, 2018, Caldera filed a complaint, Index No. 652175/2018 (the “Complaint”), alleging three causes of action: (1) tortious interference with prospective business relations/prospective economic advantage; (2) defamation/trade disparagement/injurious falsehood; and (3) unfair competition. The Complaint sought damages of no less than $1.5 billion, as well as exemplary and punitive damages, attorneys’ fees, interest, and an injunction. Defendants moved to dismiss the Complaint on September 21, 2018 and Caldera filed an amended complaint on January 21, 2019 (the “Amended Complaint”). Defendants moved to dismiss the Amended Complaint, and the Apollo Defendants submitted to the Court a Final Arbitration Award issued on April 26, 2019 in a JAMS arbitration, finding Caldera, Imran Siddiqui, and Ming Dang liable for various causes of action, including breaches of fiduciary duty and/or aiding and abetting thereof. Oral argument on the motions to dismiss was held on May 31, 2019. On December 20, 2019, the Court issued a Decision and Order dismissing Caldera’s complaint in its entirety as against all Defendants. On December 23, 2019, the Apollo Defendants filed a Notice of Entry of the Decision and Order. On January 8, 2020, Caldera filed a Notice of Appeal. On March 7, 2019, plaintiff Elizabeth Morrison filed an amended complaint in an action captioned Morrison v. Ray Berry, et. al. , Case No. 12808-VCG, pending in the Delaware Court of Chancery, adding as defendants AGM Inc. and certain AGM Inc. affiliates. The original complaint had only named as defendants certain officers and directors (the “TFM defendants”) of The Fresh Market, Inc. (“TFM”), claiming that those defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the TFM shareholders in connection with their consideration and approval of a merger agreement between TFM and certain entities affiliated with Apollo, including by engaging in a sale process that improperly favored AGM Inc., and/or Apollo Management VIII, L.P., by agreeing to an inadequate price and by filing materially deficient disclosures regarding the transaction. In addition to AGM Inc., the amended complaint added as defendants Apollo Overseas Partners (Delaware 892) VIII, L.P., Apollo Overseas Partners (Delaware) VIII, L.P., Apollo Overseas Partners VIII, L.P., Apollo Management VIII, L.P., AIF VIII Management, LLC, Apollo Management, L.P., Apollo Management GP, LLC, Apollo Management Holdings, L.P., Apollo Management Holdings GP, LLC, APO Corp., AP Professional Holdings, L.P., Apollo Advisors VIII, L.P., Apollo Investment Fund VIII, L.P., Pomegranate Holdings, Inc., and other defendants. The amended complaint alleged that the Apollo defendants aided and abetted the breaches of fiduciary duties by the TFM defendants. After the defendants moved to dismiss the complaint on May 1, 2019, Plaintiff filed a second amended complaint on June 3, 2019, maintaining the same claim against the same Apollo defendants as the prior complaint. Defendants moved to dismiss the second amended complaint on July 12, 2019. On December 31, 2019, the court issued a decision dismissing certain of the TFM defendants while denying the motions of others. The court deferred ruling on the motions filed by several defendants, including the Apollo-affiliated defendants. On June 1, 2020, the Court granted the Apollo-affiliated defendants’ motion to dismiss, but the case remained pending against the officer defendants and TFM’s financial advisor in the transaction. On March 12, 2021, a settlement among the Plaintiff and the remaining defendants was publicly disclosed. The court scheduled a settlement hearing for July 7, 2021. On October 21, 2019, a putative class action complaint was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery against Presidio, Inc. (“Presidio”), all of the members of Presidio’s board of directors (including five directors who are affiliated with Apollo), and BC Partners Advisors L.P. and Port Merger Sub, Inc. (together, “BCP”) challenging the then-pending acquisition of Presidio by BCP (the “Presidio Merger”). The action is captioned Firefighters Pension System of City of Kansas City, Missouri Trust v. Presidio, Inc. et al, C.A. No. 2019-0839-JTL. The original complaint alleged that the Presidio directors breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the negotiation of the Presidio Merger and that the disclosures Presidio made in its filings with the SEC in connection with the Presidio Merger omitted material information, and that BCP aided and abetted those alleged breaches. On November 5, 2019, the Court of Chancery held a hearing on a motion by plaintiffs to preliminarily enjoin the stockholder vote and denied that motion. On January 28, 2020, following the closing of the Presidio Merger, plaintiffs filed an amended class action complaint, adding as defendants AGM Inc. and AP VIII Aegis Holdings, L.P. (together, the “Apollo Defendants”) and LionTree Advisors, LLC (Presidio’s financial advisor in connection with the Presidio Merger). The amended complaint alleges, among other things, that the Presidio directors breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the Presidio Merger, that the filings with the SEC in connection with the Presidio Merger omitted material information, that the Apollo Defendants were controlling stockholders of Presidio and breached their alleged fiduciary duties to Presidio’s public stockholders, and that BCP, LionTree and the Apollo Defendants aided and abetted breaches of fiduciary duties. The amended complaint seeks, among other relief, declaratory relief, class certification, and unspecified money damages. The defendants completed briefing on motions to dismiss the amended complaint on April 30, 2020. On January 29, 2021, the Court of Chancery issued an opinion and accompanying orders granting the Apollo Defendants’ motion to dismiss, granting the motions to dismiss filed by the directors other than Presidio’s CEO, and denying motions to dismiss as to BCP, Liontree, and Presidio’s CEO. Apollo believes the claims in this action are without merit. On November 1, 2019, plaintiff Benjamin Fongers filed a putative class action in Illinois Circuit Court, Cook County, against CareerBuilder, LLC (“CareerBuilder”) and AGM Inc. Plaintiff alleges that in March 2019, CareerBuilder changed its compensation plan so that sales representatives such as Fongers would (i) receive reduced commissions; and (ii) only be able to receive commissions for accounts they originated that were not reassigned to anyone else, a departure from the earlier plan. Plaintiff also claims that the plan applied retroactively to deprive sales representatives of commissions to which they were earlier entitled. Plaintiff alleges that AGM Inc. exercises complete control over CareerBuilder and thus, CareerBuilder acts as AGM Inc.’s agent. Based on these allegations, Plaintiff alleges claims against both defendants for breach of written contract, breach of implied contract, unjust enrichment, violation of the Illinois Sales Representative Act, and violation of the Illinois Wage and Payment Collection Act. The defendants removed the action to the Northern District of Illinois on December 5, 2019, and Plaintiff moved to remand on January 6, 2020. On October 21, 2020, the District Court granted the motion to remand. On January 11, 2021, the District Court ordered the Clerk of Court to take the necessary steps to transfer the case back to Illinois Circuit Court, Cook County. On March 8, 2021, Plaintiff filed a motion under 28 U.S.C. § 1447(c) to recover attorneys’ fees of approximately $35,000 for the remand briefing. Defendants filed their opposition on March 31, 2021, and Plaintiff replied on April 14, 2021. Apollo believes the claims in this action are without merit. Because this action is in the early stages, no reasonable estimate of possible loss, if any, can be made at this time. In March 2020, Frank Funds, which claims to be a former shareholder of MPM Holdings, Inc. (“MPM”), commenced an action in the Delaware Court of Chancery, captioned Frank Funds v. Apollo Global Management, Inc., et al. , C.A. No. 2020-0130, against AGM Inc., certain former MPM directors (including three Apollo officers and employees), and members of the consortium that acquired MPM in a May 2019 merger. The complaint asserts, on behalf of a putative class of former MPM shareholders, a claim against Apollo for breach of its fiduciary duties as MPM’s alleged controlling shareholder in connection with the May 2019 merger in which a consortium acquired MPM. Frank Funds seeks unspecified compensatory damages. Apollo believes the claims in this action are without merit. On July 1, 2020, Apollo moved to dismiss the complaint; briefing on that motion did not occur because the complaint was superseded, as described herein. On July 23, 2019, a group of former MPM shareholders filed an appraisal petition in Delaware Chancery Court seeking the fair value of their MPM shares that were purchased through MPM’s May 15, 2019 merger with a consortium of buyers, in an action captioned In re Appraisal of MPM Holdings, Inc., C.A. No. 2019-0519 (Del. Ch.). While Apollo was not a party to the appraisal action, it was served a document subpoena on October 22, 2019, to which it responded. On June 3, 2020, petitioners moved for leave to file a verified amended appraisal petition and class-action complaint that included claims for breach of fiduciary duty and/or aiding and abetting breaches of fiduciary duty against AGM Inc., the Apollo-affiliated fund that owned MPM’s shares before the merger, certain former MPM directors (including three Apollo employees), and members of the consortium that acquired MPM, based on alleged actions related to the May 2019 merger. The petitioners also sought to consolidate their appraisal proceeding with the Frank Funds action, and notified the Delaware Chancery Court via letter on September 23, 2020, that they had reached an agreement in principle with Frank Funds to consolidate the two cases. On November 13, 2020, the Chancery Court granted the parties’ stipulated order to consolidate the two matters, and on December 21, 2020, the Chancery Court granted petitioners’ motion for leave to file the proposed amended complaint. This new consolidated action is captioned In Re MPM Holdings Inc. Appraisal and Stockholder Litigation, C.A. No. 2019-0519 (Del Ch.). Defendants filed motions to dismiss the amended complaint on February 19, 2021. On March 18, 2021, the Chancery Court entered the parties’ stipulated proposed scheduling order, under which the motions to dismiss will be fully briefed on July 26, 2021. Apollo believes the claims in this action are without merit. Because this action is in the early stages, no reasonable estimate of possible loss, if any, can be made at this time. On March 12, 2020, AGM Inc. and several investment funds managed by subsidiaries of AGM Inc. (the “Apollo Funds”) were added as defendants in a class action filed by plaintiff Zachary Blair on December 7, 2017, in the Superior Court of California. Plaintiff alleges he is a former employee of Classic Party Rentals, a party equipment rental company previously owned by the Apollo Funds. Plaintiff alleges that Classic Party Rentals failed to comply with California wage and hour and related laws, and also has asserted claims based on various provisions of the California labor code and California’s unfair competition laws. On October 11, 2019, the court certified a class of current and former non-exempt drivers, assistant drivers, and organizer employees of Classic Party Rentals who were paid on an hourly basis and who worked at Classic Party Rentals in California at any time from December 7, 2013, through the date of the class certification order. After being served with the Complaint in July 2020, a co-defendant removed the matter to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California on August 24, 2020, and AGM Inc. filed a motion to dismiss all claims against it on September 23, 2020. On March 24, 2021, the court granted AGM Inc.’s motion to dismiss and the court dismissed the complaint without prejudice. Apollo believes the claims in this action are without merit. Because this action is in the early stages, no reasonable estimate of possible loss, if any, can be made at this time. On May 29, 2020, plaintiff Vrajeshkumar Patel filed a putative stockholder derivative and class action complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery against Talos Energy, Inc. (“Talos”), all of the members of Talos’s board of directors (including two Apollo partners), Riverstone Holdings, LLC (“Riverstone”), AGM Inc., and Guggenheim Securities, LLC in connection with the acquisition of certain assets from Castex Energy 2014, LLC and ILX Holdings, LLC in February 2020. The complaint asserts, on behalf of a putative class of shareholders and Talos, direct and derivative claims against Apollo, Riverstone, and the individual defendants for breach of their fiduciary duties. The plaintiff alleges that Apollo and Riverstone comprise a controlling shareholder group. The complaint seeks, among other relief, class certification and unspecified money damages. On August 4, 2020, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the complaint in its entirety. The motion is now fully briefed and oral argument was held on February 19, 2021. Apollo believes the claims in this action are without merit. Because this action is in the early stages, no reasonable estimate of possible loss, if any, can be made at this time. On August 4, 2020, a putative class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada against PlayAGS Inc. (“PlayAGS”), all of the members of PlayAGS’s board of directors (including three directors who are affiliated with Apollo), certain underwriters of PlayAGS (including Apollo Global Securities, LLC), as well as AGM Inc., Apollo Investment Fund VIII, L.P., Apollo Gaming Holdings, L.P., and Apollo Gaming Voteco, LLC (these last four parties, together, the “Apollo Defendants”). The complaint asserts claims arising under the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with certain secondary offerings of PlayAGS stock conducted in August 2018 and March 2019, alleging that the registration statements issued in connection with those offerings did not fully disclose certain business challenges facing PlayAGS. Such claims are asserted against all defendants, including Apollo Global Securities, LLC and the Apollo Defendants, as well as all directors (including the directors affiliated with Apollo). The complaint further asserts a control person claim under Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against the Apollo Defendants and the director defendants (including the directors affiliated with Apollo), alleging that the Apollo Defendants and the director defendants were responsible for certain misstatements and omissions by PlayAGS about its business during a putative class period from May 3, 2018 through August 7, 2019. Plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint on January 21, 2021, and they filed a further amended complaint on March 25, 2021. A responsive pleading is due by May 24, 2021. Apollo believes the claims in this action are without merit. Because this action is in the early stages, no reasonable estimate of possible loss, if any, can be made at this time. Commitments and Contingencies— Other long-term obligations relate to payments with respect to certain consulting agreements entered into by Apollo Investment Consulting LLC, a subsidiary of Apollo, as well as long-term service contracts. A significant portion of these costs are reimbursable by funds or portfolio companies. As of March 31, 2021, fixed and determinable payments due in connection with these obligations were as follows: Remaining 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 Thereafter Total Other long-term obligations $ 25,226 $ 3,482 $ 1,998 $ 812 $ 704 $ 704 $ 32,926 Contingent Obligations— Performance allocations with respect to certain funds are subject to reversal in the event of future losses to the extent of the cumulative revenues recognized in income to date. If all of the existing investments became worthless, the amount of cumulative revenues that have been recognized by Apollo through March 31, 2021 and that would be reversed approximates $3.7 billion . Management views the possibility of all of the investments becoming worthless as remote. Performance allocations are affected by changes in the fair values of the underlying investments in the funds that Apollo manages. Valuations, on an unrealized basis, can be significantly affected by a variety of external factors including, but not limited to, bond yields and industry trading multiples. Movements in these items can affect valuations quarter to quarter even if the underlying business fundamentals remain stable. Additionally, at the end of the life of certain funds that the Company manages, there could be a payment due to a fund by the Company if the Company, as general partner, has received more performance allocations than was ultimately earned. The general partner obligation amount, if any, will depend on final realized values of investments at the end of the life of each fund or as otherwise set forth in the respective limited partnership agreement of the fund. See note 14 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further details regarding the general partner obligation. Certain funds may not generate performance allocations as a result of unrealized and realized losses that are recognized in the current and prior reporting period. In certain cases, performance allocations will not be generated until additional unrealized and realized gains occur. Any appreciation would first cover the deductions for invested capital, unreturned organizational expenses, operating expenses, management fees and priority returns based on the terms of the respective fund agreements. One of the Company’s subsidiaries, AGS, provides underwriting commitments in connection with securities offerings of related parties of Apollo, including p ortfolio companies of the funds Apollo manages, as well as third parties. As of March 31, 2021, AGS had an unfunded contingent commitment of $50.6 million outstanding related to such commitments. The commitment expired on April 1, 2021 with no funding on the part of AGS. As of December 31, 2019, there were no open underwriting commitments. In connection with the launch of Apollo Debt Solutions, a non-traded business development company (“BDC”), the Company agreed to guarantee a commitment to purchase the underlying portfolio investment, in the event the BDC does not raise sufficient third party capital. The Company’s maximum commitment is $500 million, and is fully backstopped by an unconsolidated related party fund. The likelihood of performance under the guarantee arrangement is determined to be remote. Merger Agreement Termination Fee— In connection with the merger with Athene Holding, the Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights and provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement, AGM Inc. will be obligated to pay AHL a cash termination fee of $81.9 million. See note 14 for further disclosure regarding the Merger Agreement and termination fee. Contingent Consideration— In connection with the acquisition of Stone Tower in April 2012, the Company agreed to pay the former owners of Stone Tower a specified percentage of any future performance revenues earned from certain of the Stone Tower funds, CLOs, and strategic investment accounts. This contingent consideration liability was determined based on the present value of estimated future performance revenue payments, and is recorded in profit sharing payable in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The fair value of the remaining contingent obligation was $113.2 million and $119.8 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

SEGMENT REPORTING

SEGMENT REPORTING	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2021
Segment Reporting [Abstract]
SEGMENT REPORTING	SEGMENT REPORTING Apollo conducts its business primarily in the United States through three reportable segments: credit, private equity and real assets. Segment information is utilized by our chief operating decision maker to assess performance and to allocate resources. These segments were established based on the nature of investment activities in each underlying fund, including the specific type of investment made and the level of control over the investment. The performance is measured by the Company’s chief operating decision maker on an unconsolidated basis because management makes operating decisions and assesses the performance of each of Apollo’s business segments based on financial and operating metrics and data that exclude the effects of consolidation of any of the affiliated funds. Segment Distributable Earnings Segment Distributable Earnings, or “Segment DE”, is the key performance measure used by management in evaluating the performance of Apollo’s credit, private equity and real assets segments. Management believes the components of Segment DE, such as the amount of management fees, advisory and transaction fees and realized performance fees, are indicative of the Company’s performance. Management uses Segment DE in making key operating decisions such as the following: • Decisions related to the allocation of resources such as staffing decisions including hiring and locations for deployment of the new hires; • Decisions related to capital deployment such as providing capital to facilitate growth for the business and/or to facilitate expansion into new businesses; • Decisions related to expenses, such as determining annual discretionary bonuses and equity-based compensation awards to its employees. With respect to compensation, management seeks to align the interests of certain professionals and selected other individuals with those of the investors in the funds and those of Apollo’s stockholders by providing such individuals a profit sharing interest in the performance fees earned in relation to the funds. To achieve that objective, a certain amount of compensation is based on Apollo’s performance and growth for the year; and • Decisions related to the amount of earnings available for dividends to Class A Common Stockholders, holders of RSUs that participate in dividends and holders of AOG Units that participate in dividends. Segment DE is a measure of profitability and has certain limitations in that it does not take into account certain items included under U.S. GAAP. Segment DE represents the amount of Apollo’s net realized earnings, excluding the effects of the consolidation of any of the related funds and SPACs, taxes and related payables, transaction-related charges and any acquisitions. Transaction-related charges includes equity-based compensation charges, the amortization of intangible assets, contingent consideration, and certain other charges associated with acquisitions, and restructuring charges. In addition, Segment DE excludes non-cash revenue and expense related to equity awards granted by unconsolidated related parties to employees of the Company, compensation and administrative related expense reimbursements, as well as the assets, liabilities and operating results of the funds and variable interest entities that are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Segment DE also excludes impacts of the remeasurement of the tax receivable agreement liability recorded in other income, which arises from changes in the associated deferred tax balance. Segment DE may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We use Segment DE as a measure of operating performance, not as a measure of liquidity. Segment DE should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or other income data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The use of Segment DE without consideration of related U.S. GAAP measures is not adequate due to the adjustments described above. Management compensates for these limitations by using Segment DE as a supplemental measure to U.S. GAAP results, to provide a more complete understanding of our performance as management measures it. A reconciliation of Segment DE to its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure of income (loss) before income tax provision can be found in this footnote. Fee Related Earnings Fee Related Earnings (“FRE”) is derived from our segment reported results and refers to a component of Segment DE that is used as a supplemental performance measure to assess whether revenues that we believe are generally more stable and predictable in nature, primarily consisting of management fees, are sufficient to cover associated operating expenses and generate profits. FRE is the sum across all segments of (i) management fees, (ii) advisory and transaction fees, (iii) performance fees related to business development companies, Redding Ridge Holdings LP (“Redding Ridge Holdings”), an affiliate of Redding Ridge, and MidCap and (iv) other income, net, less (x) salary, bonus and benefits, excluding equity-based compensation, (y) other associated operating expenses and (z) non-controlling interests in the management companies of certain funds the Company manages. The following tables present financial data for Apollo’s reportable segments.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Organization of the Company	Organization of the Company As of March 31, 2021, the Company owned, through six intermediate holding companies that include APO Corp., a Delaware corporation that is a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, APO Asset Co., LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, APO (FC), LLC, an Anguilla limited liability company that is disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, APO (FC II), LLC, an Anguilla limited liability company that is disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, APO UK (FC), Limited, an England and Wales incorporated company that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and APO (FC III), LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company that is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes (collectively, the “Intermediate Holding Companies”), 53.5% of the economic interests of, and operated and controlled all of the businesses and affairs of, the Apollo Operating Group.
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and instructions to Form 10-Q. The condensed consolidated financial statements and these notes are unaudited and exclude some of the disclosures required in annual financial statements. Management believes it has made all necessary adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) so that the condensed consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and that estimates made in preparing its condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements included in the 2020 Annual Report. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiaries, the consolidated entities which are considered to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and for which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary, and certain entities which are not considered VIEs but which the Company controls through a majority voting interest. Intercompany accounts and transactions, if any, have been eliminated upon consolidation. Certain reclassifications, when applicable, have been made to the prior periods’ condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to conform to the current period’s presentation and are disclosed accordingly.
Consolidation	Consolidation The types of entities with which Apollo is involved generally include subsidiaries (e.g., general partners and management companies related to the funds the Company manages), entities that have all the attributes of an investment company (e.g., funds), special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) and securitization vehicles (e.g., CLOs). Each of these entities is assessed for consolidation on a case by case basis depending on the specific facts and circumstances surrounding that entity. Pursuant to the consolidation guidance, the Company first evaluates whether it holds a variable interest in an entity. Fees that are customary and commensurate with the level of services provided, and where the Company does not hold other economic interests in the entity that would absorb more than an insignificant amount of the expected losses or returns of the entity, would not be considered a variable interest. Apollo factors in all economic interests, including proportionate interests through related parties, to determine if such interests are considered a variable interest. As Apollo’s interests in many of these entities are solely through market rate fees and/or insignificant indirect interests through related parties, Apollo is not considered to have a variable interest in many of these entities and no further consolidation analysis is performed. For entities where the Company has determined that it does hold a variable interest, the Company performs an assessment to determine whether each of those entities qualify as a VIE. The determination as to whether an entity qualifies as a VIE depends on the facts and circumstances surrounding each entity and therefore certain of Apollo’s funds may qualify as VIEs under the variable interest model whereas others may qualify as voting interest entities (“VOEs”) under the voting interest model. The granting of substantive kick-out rights is a key consideration in determining whether a limited partnership or similar entity is a VIE and whether or not that entity should be consolidated. Under the variable interest model, Apollo consolidates those entities where it is determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of the entity. The Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary when it has a controlling financial interest in the VIE, which is defined as possessing both (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant. When Apollo alone is not considered to have a controlling financial interest in the VIE but Apollo and its related parties under common control in the aggregate have a controlling financial interest in the VIE, Apollo will be deemed the primary beneficiary if it is the party that is most closely associated with the VIE. When Apollo and its related parties not under common control in the aggregate have a controlling financial interest in the VIE, Apollo would be deemed to be the primary beneficiary if substantially all the activities of the entity are performed on behalf of Apollo. Apollo determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the time it becomes initially involved with the VIE and reconsiders that conclusion continuously. Investments and redemptions (either by Apollo, related parties of Apollo or third parties) or amendments to the governing documents of the respective entity may affect an entity’s status as a VIE or the determination of the primary beneficiary. Assets and liabilities of the consolidated VIEs are primarily shown in separate sections within the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. Changes in the fair value of the consolidated VIEs’ assets and liabilities and related interest, dividend and other income and expenses are presented within net gains from investment activities of consolidated variable interest entities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The portion attributable to Non-Controlling Interests is reported within net income attributable to Non-Controlling Interests in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For additional disclosures regarding VIEs, see note 5. Under the voting interest model, Apollo consolidates those entities it controls through a majority voting interest. Apollo does not consolidate those VOEs in which substantive kick-out rights have been granted to the unrelated investors to either dissolve the fund or remove the general partner.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents Apollo considers all highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include money market funds and U.S. Treasury securities with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. Interest income from cash and cash equivalents is recorded in interest income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The carrying values of the money market funds and U.S. Treasury securities were $1.9 billion and $1.2 billion as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, which represent their fair values due to their short-term nature and are categorized as Level I within the fair value hierarchy. Substantially all of the Company’s cash on deposit is in interest bearing accounts with major financial institutions and exceed insured limits. Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents Restricted cash and cash equivalents includes cash held in reserve accounts used to make required payments in respect of the 2039 Senior Secured Guaranteed Notes. Restricted cash and cash equivalents also includes cash deposited at a bank, which is pledged as collateral in connection with leased premises. U.S. Treasury securities of Apollo Strategic Growth Capital II (“APGB”), a consolidated SPAC, are held in a trust account and consist of U.S Treasury bills that were purchased with funds raised through the initial public offering of the consolidated entity. The $0.7 billion in funds are restricted for use and may only be used for purposes of completing an initial business combination or redemption of public shares as set forth in the trust agreement.
U.S. Treasury securities, at fair value	U.S. Treasury securities, at fair value U.S. Treasury securities, at fair value includes U.S. Treasury bills with original maturities greater than three months when purchased. These securities are recorded at fair value. Interest income on such securities is separately presented from the overall change in fair value and is recognized in interest income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Any remaining change in fair value of such securities, that is not recognized as interest income, is recognized in net gains (losses) from investment activities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. U.S Treasury securities of Apollo Strategic Growth Capital (“APSG”), a consolidated SPAC, are held in a trust account and consist of U.S Treasury bills that were purchased with funds raised through the initial public offering of the consolidated entity. The $0.8 billion in funds are restricted for use and may only be used for purposes of completing an initial business combination or redemption of public shares as set forth in the trust agreement.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments Apollo has elected the fair value option for the Company’s investment in Athene Holding, the assets and liabilities of certain of its consolidated VIEs (including CLOs), the Company’s U.S. Treasury securities with original maturities greater than three months when purchased, and certain of the Company’s other investments. Such election is irrevocable and is applied to financial instruments on an individual basis at initial recognition. The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. Except for the Company’s debt obligations, financial instruments are generally recorded at fair value or at amounts whose carrying values approximate fair value. The actual realized gains or losses will depend on, among other factors, future operating results, the value of the assets and market conditions at the time of disposition, any related transaction costs and the timing and manner of sale, all of which may ultimately differ significantly from the assumptions on which the valuations were based. Fair Value Hierarchy U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring financial instruments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, the characteristics specific to the financial instrument and the state of the marketplace, including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices in active markets generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value. Financial instruments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed based on the observability of inputs used in the determination of fair values, as follows: Level I - Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical financial instruments as of the reporting date. The types of financial instruments included in Level I include listed equities and debt. The Company does not adjust the quoted price for these financial instruments, even in situations where the Company holds a large position and the sale of such position would likely deviate from the quoted price. Level II - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. Financial instruments that are generally included in this category include corporate bonds and loans, less liquid and restricted equity securities and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on observable inputs. These financial instruments exhibit higher levels of liquid market observability as compared to Level III financial instruments. Level III - Pricing inputs are unobservable for the financial instrument and includes situations where there is little observable market activity for the financial instrument. The inputs into the determination of fair value may require significant management judgment or estimation. Financial instruments that are included in this category generally include general and limited partner interests in corporate private equity and real assets funds, opportunistic credit funds, distressed debt and non-investment grade residual interests in securitizations and CDOs and CLOs where the fair value is based on observable inputs as well as unobservable inputs. When a security is valued based on broker quotes, the Company subjects those quotes to various criteria in making the determination as to whether a particular financial instrument would qualify for classification as Level II or Level III. These criteria include, but are not limited to, the number and quality of the broker quotes, the standard deviations of the observed broker quotes, and the percentage deviation from external pricing services. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, a financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the financial instrument when the fair value is based on unobservable inputs.
Equity Method Investments	Equity Method Investments For investments in entities over which the Company exercises significant influence but which do not meet the requirements for consolidation and for which the Company has not elected the fair value option, the Company uses the equity method of accounting, whereby the Company records its share of the underlying income or loss of such entities. The Company’s share of the underlying net income or loss of such entities is recorded in principal investment income (loss) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The carrying amounts of equity method investments are recorded in investments in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. As the underlying entities that the Company manages and invests in are, for U.S. GAAP purposes, primarily investment companies which reflect their investments at estimated fair value, the carrying value of the Company’s equity method investments in such entities approximates fair value.
Financial Instruments held by Consolidated VIEs	Financial Instruments held by Consolidated VIEs The Company measures both the financial assets and financial liabilities of the consolidated CLOs in its condensed consolidated financial statements using the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities of the consolidated CLOs, whichever are more observable. Where financial assets are more observable, the financial assets of the consolidated CLOs are measured at fair value and the financial liabilities are measured in consolidation as: (i) the sum of the fair value of the financial assets and the carrying value of any nonfinancial assets that are incidental to the operations of the CLOs less (ii) the sum of the fair value of any beneficial interests retained by the Company (other than those that represent compensation for services) and the Company’s carrying value of any beneficial interests that represent compensation for services. The resulting amount is allocated to the individual financial liabilities (other than the beneficial interest retained by the Company) using a reasonable and consistent methodology. Where financial liabilities are more observable, the financial liabilities of the consolidated CLOs are measured at fair value and the financial assets are measured in consolidation as: (i) the sum of the fair value of the financial liabilities, and the carrying value of any nonfinancial liabilities that are incidental to the operations of the CLOs less (ii) the carrying value of any nonfinancial assets that are incidental to the operations of the CLOs. The resulting amount is allocated to the individual financial assets using a reasonable and consistent methodology. Under the measurement alternative, net income attributable to Apollo Global Management, Inc. reflects the Company’s own economic interests in the consolidated CLOs including (i) changes in the fair value of the beneficial interests retained by the Company and (ii) beneficial interests that represent compensation for collateral management services. The consolidated VIEs hold investments that could be traded over-the-counter. Investments in securities that are traded on a securities exchange or comparable over-the-counter quotation systems are valued based on the last reported sale price at that date. If no sales of such investments are reported on such date, and in the case of over-the-counter securities or other investments for which the last sale date is not available, valuations are based on independent market quotations obtained from market participants, recognized pricing services or other sources deemed relevant, and the prices are based on the average of the “bid” and “ask” prices, or at ascertainable prices at the close of business on such day. Market quotations are generally based on valuation pricing models or market transactions of similar securities adjusted for security-specific factors such as relative capital structure priority and interest and yield risks, among other factors. When market quotations are not available, a model based approach is used to determine fair value.
Deferred Revenue and Revenues	Deferred Revenue Apollo records deferred revenue, which is a type of contract liability, when consideration is received in advance of management services provided. Apollo also earns management fees subject to the Management Fee Offset (described below). When advisory and transaction fees are earned by the management company, the Management Fee Offset reduces the management fee obligation of the fund. When the Company receives cash for advisory and transaction fees, a certain percentage of such advisory and/or transaction fees, as applicable, is allocated as a credit to reduce future management fees, otherwise payable by such fund. Such credit is recorded as deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. A portion of any excess advisory and transaction fees may be required to be returned to the limited partners of certain funds upon such fund’s liquidation. As the management fees earned by the Company are presented on a gross basis, any Management Fee Offsets calculated are presented as a reduction to advisory and transaction fees in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, Apollo earns advisory fees pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreements with certain of the portfolio companies that are owned by the funds Apollo manages. When Apollo receives a payment from a portfolio company that exceeds the advisory fees earned at that point in time, the excess payment is recorded as deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The advisory agreements with the portfolio companies vary in duration and the associated fees are received monthly, quarterly or annually. Deferred revenue is reversed and recognized as revenue over the period that the agreed upon services are performed. There was $23.1 million of revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2021 that was previously deferred as of January 1, 2021. Under the terms of the funds’ partnership agreements, Apollo is normally required to bear organizational expenses over a set dollar amount and placement fees or costs in connection with the offering and sale of interests in the funds it manages to investors. The placement fees are payable to placement agents, who are independent third parties that assist in identifying potential investors, securing commitments to invest from such potential investors, preparing or revising offering and marketing materials, developing strategies for attempting to secure investments by potential investors and/or providing feedback and insight regarding issues and concerns of potential investors, when a limited partner either commits or funds a commitment to a fund. In cases where the limited partners of the funds are determined to be the customer in an arrangement, placement fees may be capitalized as a cost to acquire a customer contract, and amortized over the life of the customer contract. Capitalized placement fees are recorded within other assets in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition, while amortization is recorded within placement fees in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. In certain instances, the placement fees are paid over a period of time. Based on the management agreements with the funds, Apollo considers placement fees and organizational costs paid in determining if cash has been received in excess of the management fees earned. Placement fees and organizational costs are normally the obligation of Apollo but can be paid for by the funds. When these costs are paid by the fund, the resulting obligations are included within deferred revenue. The deferred revenue balance will also be reduced during future periods when management fees are earned but not paid. Revenues The Company’s revenues are reported in four separate categories that include (i) management fees; (ii) advisory and transaction fees, net; (iii) investment income, which is comprised of performance allocations and principal investment income; and (iv) incentive fees. The revenue guidance requires that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services (i.e., the transaction price). When determining the transaction price under the revenue guidance, an entity may recognize variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable to not be significantly reversed. The revenue guidance also requires disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. Performance allocations are accounted for under guidance applicable to equity method investments, and therefore not within the scope of the revenue guidance. The Company recognizes performance allocations within investment income along with the related principal investment income (as further described below) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and within the investments line in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. Refer to disclosures below for additional information on each of the Company’s revenue streams.
Redeemable non-controlling interests	Redeemable non-controlling interests Redeemable non-controlling interests represent the shares issued by APSG and APGB, the consolidated SPACs, that are redeemable for cash by the public shareholders in connection with the SPAC’s failure to complete a business combination or tender offer/stockholder approval provisions. The redeemable non-controlling interests are initially recorded at their original issue price, net of issuance costs and the initial fair value of separately traded warrants. The carrying amount is accreted to its redemption value over the period from the date of issuance to the earliest redemption date of the instrument. These increases are recorded against additional paid-in capital.
Management Fees	Management Fees Management fees are recognized over time during the periods in which the related services are performed in accordance with the contractual terms of the related agreement. Management fees are generally based on (1) a percentage of the capital committed during the commitment period, and thereafter based on the remaining invested capital of unrealized investments, or (2) net asset value, gross assets or as otherwise defined in the respective agreements. Included in management fees are certain expense reimbursements where the Company is considered the principal under the agreements and is required to record the expense and related reimbursement revenue on a gross basis.
Advisory and Transaction Fees, Net	Advisory and Transaction Fees, Net Advisory fees, including management consulting fees and directors’ fees, are generally recognized over time as the underlying services are provided in accordance with the contractual terms of the related agreement. The Company receives such fees in exchange for ongoing management consulting services provided to portfolio companies of funds it manages. Transaction fees, including structuring fees and arranging fees related to the Company’s funds, portfolio companies of funds and third parties are generally recognized at a point in time when the underlying services rendered are complete. The amounts due from fund portfolio companies are recorded in due from related parties on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition, which is discussed further in note 14. Under the terms of the limited partnership agreements for certain funds, the management fee payable by the funds may be subject to a reduction based on a certain percentage of such advisory and transaction fees, net of applicable broken deal costs (“Management Fee Offset”). Advisory and transaction fees are presented net of the Management Fee Offset in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Underwriting fees, which are also included within advisory and transaction fees, net, include gains, losses and fees, arising from securities offerings in which one of the Company’s subsidiaries participates in the underwriter syndicate. Underwriting fees are recognized at a point in time when the underwriting is completed. Underwriting fees recognized but not received are recorded in other assets on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.
Investment Income	Investment Income Investment income is comprised of performance allocations and principal investment income. Performance Allocations Performance allocations are a type of performance revenue (i.e., income earned based on the extent to which an entity’s performance exceeds predetermined thresholds). Performance allocations are generally structured from a legal standpoint as an allocation of capital in which the Company’s capital account receives allocations of the returns of an entity when those returns exceed predetermined thresholds. The determination of which performance revenues are considered performance allocations is primarily based on the terms of an agreement with the entity. The Company recognizes performance allocations within investment income along with the related principal investment income (as described further below) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and within the investments line in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. When applicable, the Company may record a general partner obligation to return previously distributed performance allocations. The general partner obligation is based upon an assumed liquidation of a fund’s net assets as of the reporting date and is reported within due to related parties on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The actual determination and any required payment of any such general partner obligation would not take place until the final disposition of a fund’s investments based on the contractual termination of the fund or as otherwise set forth in the respective limited partnership agreement or other governing document of the fund. Principal Investment Income
Incentive Fees	Incentive Fees Incentive fees are a type of performance revenue. Incentive fees differ from performance allocations in that incentive fees do not represent an allocation of capital but rather a contractual fee arrangement with the entity.
Salaries, Bonus and Benefits	Salaries, Bonus and Benefits Salaries, bonus and benefits include base salaries, discretionary and non-discretionary bonuses, severance and employee benefits. Bonuses are generally accrued over the related service period.
Equity-Based Compensation	Equity-Based Compensation Equity-based awards granted to employees and non-employees as compensation are measured based on the grant date fair value of the award. Equity-based awards that do not require future service (i.e., vested awards) are expensed immediately. Equity-based employee awards that require future service are expensed over the relevant service period. In addition, certain restricted share units (“RSUs”) granted by the Company vest based on both continued service and the Company’s receipt of performance revenues, within prescribed periods, sufficient to cover the associated equity-based compensation expense. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, equity-based compensation expense for such awards, if and when granted, will be recognized on an accelerated recognition method over the requisite service period to the extent the performance revenue metrics are met or deemed probable. The Company accounts for forfeitures of equity-based awards when they occur.
Profit Sharing	Profit Sharing Profit sharing expense and profit sharing payable primarily consist of a portion of performance revenues earned from certain funds that are allocated to employees and former employees. Profit sharing amounts are recognized as the related performance revenues are earned. Accordingly, profit sharing amounts can be reversed during periods when there is a decline in performance revenues that were previously recognized. Profit sharing amounts are generally not paid until the related performance revenue is distributed to the general partner upon realization of the fund’s investments. Under certain profit sharing arrangements, the Company requires that a portion of certain of the performance revenues distributed to its employees be used to purchase restricted Class A Common Stock issued under the Company’s Equity Plan. Prior to distribution of the performance revenue, the Company records the value of the equity-based awards expected to be granted in other assets and other liabilities within the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. Such equity-based awards are recorded as equity-based compensation expense over the relevant service period once granted. Additionally, profit sharing amounts previously distributed may be subject to clawback from employees and former employees. When applicable, the accrual for potential clawback of previously distributed profit sharing amounts, which is a component of due from related parties on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition, represents all amounts previously distributed to employees and former employees that would need to be returned to the general partner if the Apollo funds were to be liquidated based on the fair value of the underlying funds’ investments as of the reporting date. The actual general partner receivable, however, would not become realized until the final disposition of a fund’s investments based on the contractual termination of the fund or as otherwise set forth in the respective limited partnership agreement or other governing document of the fund. Profit sharing payable also includes contingent consideration obligations that were recognized in connection with certain Apollo acquisitions. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations are reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations as profit sharing expense.
401(k) Savings Plan	401(k) Savings Plan The Company sponsors a 401(k) savings plan (the “401(k) Plan”) whereby U.S.-based employees are entitled to participate in the 401(k) Plan based upon satisfying certain eligibility requirements. The Company matches 50% of eligible annual employee contributions up to 3% of the eligible employees’ annual compensation. Matching contributions vest after three years of service.
General, Administrative and Other	General, Administrative and OtherGeneral, administrative and other primarily includes professional fees, occupancy, depreciation and amortization, travel, information technology and administration expenses.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Effective September 5, 2019, Apollo Global Management, LLC converted from a Delaware limited liability company to a Delaware corporation named Apollo Global Management, Inc. Subsequent to the conversion, generally all of the income it earns from the Apollo Operating Group (“AOG”) entities is subject to U.S. corporate income taxes. Certain of the AOG entities operate as partnerships for U.S. income tax purposes and are subject to New York City unincorporated business taxes (“NYC UBT”). Certain non-U.S. entities are also subject to non-U.S. corporate income taxes. Significant judgment is required in determining tax expense and in evaluating tax positions, including evaluating uncertainties. The Company recognizes the tax benefit of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. If a tax position is not considered more likely than not to be sustained, then no benefits of the position are recognized. The Company’s tax positions are reviewed and evaluated quarterly to determine whether the Company has uncertain tax positions that require financial statement recognition. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis using currently enacted tax rates. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period during which the change is enacted. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Non-Controlling Interests	Non-Controlling Interests For entities that are consolidated, but not 100% owned, a portion of the income or loss and corresponding equity is allocated to owners other than Apollo. The aggregate of the income or loss and corresponding equity that is not owned by the Company is included in Non-Controlling Interests in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Non-Controlling Interests relating to Apollo Global Management, Inc. include the ownership interest in the Apollo Operating Group held by Managing Partners and Contributing Partners through their limited partner interests in Holdings. Additionally, Athene holds Non-Controlling Interests in the Apollo Operating Group as a result of the Transaction Agreement. Non-Controlling Interests also include ownership interests in certain consolidated funds and VIEs. Non-Controlling Interests are presented as a separate component of stockholders’ equity on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The primary components of Non-Controlling Interests are separately presented in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity to clearly distinguish the interest in the Apollo Operating Group and other ownership interests in the consolidated entities. Net income includes the net income attributable to the holders of Non-Controlling Interests on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Profits and losses are allocated to Non-Controlling Interests in proportion to their relative ownership interests regardless of their basis. Guarantees See note 15 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for information related to our material guarantees.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Apollo’s most significant estimates include goodwill, intangible assets, income taxes, performance allocations, incentive fees, contingent consideration obligation related to an acquisition, non-cash compensation, and fair value of investments and debt. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets. The Company is unable to predict the adverse impact the COVID-19 pandemic will ultimately have. While such impact may change considerably over time, the estimates and assumptions affecting the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are based on information available as of March 31, 2021. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting PronouncementsIn December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The new guidance eliminates certain exceptions to the existing approach in ASC 740, and clarifies other guidance within the standard; it is effective for the Company on January 1, 2021. Based on the Company’s current application of ASC 740, the guidance did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.
