Assets under management jumped 19% to $651bn.

Marc Rowan, chief executive, said: "Amid a volatile market backdrop in 2023, Apollo was firing on all cylinders. We generated exceptional results, highlighted by fee and spread related earnings growth exceeding 25% and nearly $160bn of inflows.

"Entering 2024, we are employing discipline at every turn as we continue to provide our clients with excess return per unit of risk."
