The standout driver was the firm's dual-engine model firing on all cylinders, with Fee Related Earnings reaching a record $627 million, up 21.5% year-over-year, and Spread Related Earnings at $821 million, a 15.6% gain supported by Athene's robust organic inflows of $21.20 billion, the second-highest quarter on record for the retirement services unit. Total assets under management surged 21% to $840 billion, fueled by $61 billion in quarterly inflows and record origination of $81 billion, largely driven by lending activity and asset-backed finance. The FRE margin expanded roughly 200 basis points to 57.3%, reflecting disciplined cost management. Looking ahead, Apollo holds $72 billion in dry powder, roughly 75% allocated to credit, and expects to close its acquisition of Bridge Investment Group in the third quarter of 2025.
