Apollo Plans Second Leveraged Loan Fund

Private equity firm Apollo Global Management is planning to raise a second publicly traded fund to invest in leveraged loans.

Apollo Credit Fund, a closed-end investment management company, filed a prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission Wednesday for an initial public offering. The prospectus did not indicate how much money the fund intends to raise or which firms would underwrite the offering.

The fund will invest the majority of proceeds from the IPO in the senior secured debt of subinvestment-grade companies.

Apollo Credit Management, an affiliate of Apollo Global Management, will serve as the fund’s investment adviser.

Apollo Global Management’s other closed-end publicly traded fund, Apollo Investment Corp., was formed in 1990 and went public in January 2007. As of March 31, its portfolio was valued at $3.1
