2027 Summer Analyst, Credit Trading
About The Position
Apollo is a high-growth, global alternative asset manager. In our asset management business, we seek to provide our clients excess return at every point along the risk-reward spectrum from investment grade to private equity with a focus on three investing strategies: yield, hybrid, and equity. For more than three decades, our investing expertise across our fully integrated platform has served the financial return needs of our clients and provided businesses with innovative capital solutions for growth. Through Athene, our retirement services business, we specialize in helping clients achieve financial security by providing a suite of retirement savings products and acting as a solutions provider to institutions. Our patient, creative, and knowledgeable approach to investing aligns our clients, businesses we invest in, our employees, and the communities we impact, to expand opportunity and achieve positive outcomes. The Global Corporate Credit (GCC) platform is one of Apollo's largest and most active investment franchises, operating as the largest alternative credit platform fully integrated across public and private markets. GCC invests across the full credit spectrum — from liquid public markets to complex private transactions — on behalf of a diverse institutional client base that includes insurance platforms, institutional funds, and separately managed accounts. The platform operates through a centralized risk and portfolio management model, fully embedded with trading and research, enabling Apollo to move with both scale and speed. The US Corporate Credit trading desk provides execution and risk management across all funds and accounts — including both insurance and non-insurance mandates — in primary and secondary markets, trading corporate bonds, syndicated loans, private credit, credit derivatives, equities, and options. The desk works in close partnership with portfolio managers, sector-focused research analysts, and quantitative teams to source opportunities, optimize execution, and support portfolio construction.
