The significant funds and SIAs included in the investment record table above have greater than $200 million of AUM that did not predominantly invest in other Apollo funds or SIAs.


 
Investment Records – Notes 22 (1) Refer to the definitions of Total Invested Capital, Realized Value, Unrealized Value, Total Value, Gross IRR and Net IRR in the non-GAAP financial information & definitions section in this presentation. (2) Returns have not been presented as the fund commenced investing capital less than 24 months prior to the period indicated and therefore such return information was deemed not meaningful. (3) Fund I and Fund II were structured such that investments were made from either fund depending on which fund had available capital. Apollo does not differentiate between Fund I and Fund II investments for purposes of performance figures because they are not meaningful on a separate basis and do not demonstrate the progression of returns over time. The general partners and managers of Funds I, II and MIA, as well as the general partner of Fund III, were excluded assets in connection with the 2007 Reorganization. As a result, Apollo did not receive the economics associated with these entities. The investment performance of these funds is presented to illustrate fund performance associated with Apollo's Managing Partners and other investment professionals. (4) Total IRR is calculated based on total cash flows for all funds presented. (5) AEOF, SCRF III and Apollo U.S. Real Estate Fund II, L.P. were launched prior to March 31, 2015 and have not established their vintage year. (6) Funds are denominated in Euros and historical figures are translated into U.S. dollars at an exchange rate of €1.00 to $1.07 as of March 31, 2015. (7) Amounts presented have been aggregated for significant SIAs with AUM greater than $200 million that did not predominantly invest in other Apollo funds or SIAs. Certain SIAs, historical figures are denominated in Euros and translated into U.S. dollars at an exchange rate of €1.00 to $1.07 as of March 31, 2015. Additionally, certain SIAs, amounts for Total Invested Capital, Realized Value, Unrealized Value and Total Value were not included in the table as they were deemed not meaningful. (8) AGRE U.S. Real Estate Fund, L.P., a closed-end private investment fund, has $146 million of co-investment commitments raised, which are included in the figures in the table. A co- invest entity within AGRE U.S. Real Estate Fund, L.P. is denominated in GBP and translated into U.S. dollars at an exchange rate of £1.00 to $1.48 as of March 31, 2015. (9) As part of the acquisition of Citi Property Investors (“CPI”), Apollo acquired general partner interests in fully invested funds. The gross and net IRRs are presented in the investment record table since acquisition on November 12, 2010. The net IRRs from the inception of the respective fund to March 31, 2015 were (7)%, 7% and (7)% for the CPI Capital Partners North America, Asia Pacific and Europe funds, respectively. These net IRRs were primarily achieved during a period in which Apollo did not make the initial investment decisions and Apollo only became the general partner or manager of these funds upon completing the acquisition on November 12, 2010. (10) CPI Other consists of funds or individual investments of which Apollo is not the general partner or manager and only receives fees pursuant to either a sub-advisory agreement or an investment management and administrative agreement. CPI Other fund performance is a result of invested capital prior to Apollo’s management of these funds. Return and certain other performance data are therefore not considered meaningful as Apollo performs primarily an administrative role.


 
Investment Records as of March 31, 2015 Liquid / Performing 23 Note: The above table summarizes the investment record for significant funds in the liquid/performing category within Apollo's credit segment as defined in the non-GAAP financial information & definitions section of this presentation. The significant funds included in the investment record table above for liquid/performing have greater than $200 million of AUM that did not predominantly invest in other Apollo funds or SIAs. Additionally, the table above excludes AUM of $29.0 billion in aggregate for CLOs and other performing credit vehicles, SIAs, sub-advisory managed accounts owned by or related to Athene and other hedge fund style and structured credit funds. All amounts are as of March 31, 2015, unless otherwise noted. (1) Net returns since inception presented are on an annualized basis. Refer to the definition of net returns in the non-GAAP financial information & definitions section of this presentation. (2) TRF returns have not been presented as the fund commenced investing capital less than 24 months prior to the period indicated and therefore such return information was deemed not meaningful. (3) As part of the Stone Tower acquisition, Apollo acquired the manager of ACSF and ACF. The net returns are presented in the investment record table above since acquisition on April 2, 2012. As of March 31, 2015, the net returns from inception for ACSF and ACF were 7% and (2)% respectively. These returns were primarily achieved during a period in which Apollo did not make the initial investment decisions. Apollo became the manager of these funds upon completing the acquisition on April 2, 2012.

Investment Records as of March 31, 2015 Permanent Capital Vehicles ex AAM 24 (1) Total returns are based on the change in closing trading prices during the respective periods presented taking into account dividends and distributions, if any, as if they were reinvested without regard to commission. Inception to date total returns are presented on an annualized basis. (2) An initial public offering ("IPO") year represents the year in which the vehicle commenced trading on a national securities exchange. (3) Amounts represent raised capital net of offering and issuance costs. (4) AAA is the sole limited partner in AAA Investments. Athene was AAA Investments’ only investment as of March 31, 2015. During the second quarter of 2014, Athene Holding raised $1.2 billion of net equity commitments primarily from third-party institutional investors, certain existing investors in Athene, and employees of Athene and its affiliates (the “Athene Private Placement”). For the period December 31, 2014 through March 31, 2015, AAA Investments' ownership stake in Athene was reduced primarily as a result of the final closing of the Athene Private Placement, resulting in an approximate 47.0% economic ownership stake as of March 31, 2015 (calculated as if the commitments on the Athene Private Placement closed through March 31, 2015 were fully drawn down but without giving effect to (i) restricted common shares issued under Athene’s management equity plan or (ii) common shares to be issued after March 31, 2015 under the services agreement between AAA and Apollo or the transaction advisory services agreement between Athene and Apollo) and effectively 45% of the voting power of Athene. (5) MidCap is not a publicly traded vehicle and therefore IPO year is not applicable. Raised Capital represents total committed capital and Gross Assets represent total average quarterly levered assets. (6) Returns have not been presented as the publicly traded vehicle commenced investing capital less than 24 months prior to the period indicated and therefore such return information was deemed not meaningful. (7) Gross assets presented for AFT and AIF represents total managed assets of these closed-end funds. (8) Refer to www.apolloic.com for the most recent financial information on AINV.

Non-GAAP Financial Information & Definitions 26 Apollo discloses the following financial measures that are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals in the United States of America (“Non-GAAP”):  “Economic Income” (previously referred to as Economic Net Income), or “EI”, as well as “Economic Net Income” (previously referred to as ENI After Taxes), or “ENI”, are key performance measures used by management in evaluating the performance of Apollo’s private equity, credit and real estate segments. Management also believes the components of EI and ENI such as the amount of management fees, advisory and transaction fees and carried interest income are indicative of Apollo’s performance. Management uses these performance measures 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; and • 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 shareholders by providing such individuals a profit sharing interest in the carried interest income 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.  These measures of profitability have certain limitations in that they do not take into account certain items included under U.S. GAAP. EI represents segment income (loss) before income tax provision excluding transaction-related charges arising from the 2007 private placement, 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. In addition, segment data excludes non-cash revenue and expense related to equity awards granted by unconsolidated affiliates to employees of the Company, as well as the assets, liabilities and operating results of the funds and VIEs that are included in the consolidated financial statements. • ENI represents EI adjusted to reflect income tax provision on EI that has been calculated assuming that all income is allocated to Apollo Global Management, LLC, which would occur following an exchange of all AOG Units for Class A shares of Apollo Global Management, LLC. The economic assumptions and methodologies that impact the implied income tax provision are similar to those methodologies and certain assumptions used in calculating the income tax provision for Apollo’s consolidated statements of operations under U.S. GAAP. We believe this measure is more consistent with how we assess the performance of our segments which is described above in our definition of EI. • “Non-GAAP Weighted Average Diluted Shares Outstanding” is calculated using the GAAP weighted average outstanding Class A shares plus non-GAAP adjustments assuming (i) the exchange of all of the AOG Units for Class A shares and (ii) the settlement of the weighted average vested RSUs in the form of Class A shares during the period. Management uses this measure in determining EI and ENI per share. • “Non-GAAP Diluted Shares Outstanding” is calculated using the GAAP outstanding Class A shares plus non-GAAP adjustments assuming (i) the exchange of all of the AOG Units for Class A shares and (ii) the settlement of the vested RSUs in the form of Class A shares during the period. Management uses this measure, taking into account the unvested RSUs that participate in distributions, in determining our Class A shares eligible for cash distributions. • “Distributable Earnings Shares Outstanding” or “DE Shares Outstanding” represents Non-GAAP Diluted Shares Outstanding and unvested RSUs that participate in distributions. Management uses this measure in determining DE per share as well as DE After Taxes and Related Payables per share described below. • “Distributable Earnings”, or “DE”, as well as “DE After Taxes and Related Payables” are derived from our segment reported results, and are supplemental measures to assess performance and amounts available for distribution to Class A shareholders, holders of RSUs that participate in distributions and holders of AOG Units. DE represents the amount of net realized earnings without the effects of the consolidation of any of the affiliated funds. DE, which is a component of EI, is the sum across all segments of (i) total management fees and advisory and transaction fees, excluding monitoring fees received from Athene based on its capital and surplus (as defined in Apollo's transaction advisory services agreement with Athene), (ii) other income (loss), excluding the gains (losses) arising from the reversal of a portion of the tax receivable agreement liability, (iii) realized carried interest income, and (iv) realized investment income, less (i) compensation expense, excluding the expense related to equity-based awards, (ii) realized profit sharing expense, and (iii) non-compensation expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization expense. DE After Taxes and Related Payables represents DE less estimated current corporate, local and non-U.S. taxes as well as the payable under Apollo's tax receivable agreement.


 
Non-GAAP Financial Information & Definitions Cont’d 27  “Assets Under Management”, or “AUM”, refers to the assets we manage for the funds, partnerships and accounts to which we provide investment management services, including, without limitation, capital that such funds, partnerships and accounts have the right to call from investors pursuant to capital commitments. Our AUM equals the sum of: i) the fair value of the investments of the private equity funds, partnerships and accounts we manage plus the capital that such funds, partnerships and accounts are entitled to call from investors pursuant to capital commitments; ii) the net asset value, or “NAV,” of the credit funds, partnerships and accounts for which we provide investment management services, other than certain collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) and collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”), which have a fee-generating basis other than the mark-to-market value of the underlying assets, plus used or available leverage and/or capital commitments; iii) the gross asset value or net asset value of the real estate funds, partnerships and accounts we manage, and the structured portfolio company investments of the funds, partnerships and accounts we manage, which includes the leverage used by such structured portfolio company investments; iv) the incremental value associated with the reinsurance investments of the portfolio company assets we manage; and v) the fair value of any other assets that we manage for the funds, partnerships and accounts to which we provide investment management services, plus unused credit facilities, including capital commitments to such funds, partnerships and accounts for investments that may require pre-qualification before investment plus any other capital commitments to such funds, partnerships and accounts available for investment that are not otherwise included in the clauses above. Our AUM measure includes Assets Under Management for which we charge either no or nominal fees. Our definition of AUM is not based on any definition of Assets Under Management contained in our operating agreement or in any of our Apollo fund management agreements. We consider multiple factors for determining what should be included in our definition of AUM. Such factors include but are not limited to (1) our ability to influence the investment decisions for existing and available assets; (2) our ability to generate income from the underlying assets in our funds; and (3) the AUM measures that we use internally or believe are used by other investment managers. Given the differences in the investment strategies and structures among other alternative investment managers, our calculation of AUM may differ from the calculations employed by other investment managers and, as a result, this measure may not be directly comparable to similar measures presented by other investment managers. We use AUM as a performance measurement of our investment activities, as well as to monitor fund size in relation to professional resource and infrastructure needs. • “Fee-Generating AUM” consists of assets we manage for the funds, partnerships and accounts to which we provide investment management services and on which we earn management fees, monitoring fees pursuant to management or other fee agreements on a basis that varies among the Apollo funds, partnerships and accounts we manage. Management fees are normally based on “net asset value,” “gross assets,” “adjusted par asset value,” “adjusted cost of all unrealized portfolio investments,” “capital commitments,” “adjusted assets,” “stockholders’ equity,” “invested capital” or “capital contributions,” each as defined in the applicable management agreement. Monitoring fees, also referred to as advisory fees, with respect to the structured portfolio company investments of the funds, partnerships and accounts we manage, are generally based on the total value of such structured portfolio company investments, which normally includes leverage, less any portion of such total value that is already considered in Fee-Generating AUM.  “Carry-Eligible AUM” refers to the AUM that may eventually produce carried interest income. All funds for which we are entitled to receive a carried interest income allocation are included in Carry-Eligible AUM, which consists of the following: • “Carry-Generating AUM” refers to funds' invested capital that is currently above its hurdle rate or preferred return, and the funds' profit is allocated to the general partner in accordance with the applicable limited partnership agreements or other governing agreements. • “AUM Not Currently Generating Carry” refers to funds' invested capital that is currently below its hurdle rate or preferred return. • “Uninvested Carry-Eligible AUM” refers to available capital for investment or reinvestment subject to the provisions of applicable limited partnership agreements or other governing agreements that are not currently part of the NAV or fair value of investments that may eventually produce carried interest income, which would be allocated to the general partner.


 
Non-GAAP Financial Information & Definitions Cont’d 28  “Liquid/Performing” includes CLOs and other performing credit vehicles, hedge fund style credit funds, structured credit funds and SIAs. It also includes sub-advised managed accounts owned by or related to Athene.  “Drawdown” refers to commitment-based funds and certain SIAs in which investors make a commitment to provide capital at the formation of such funds and deliver capital when called as investment opportunities become available. It includes Athene assets managed by AAM that are invested in commitment-based funds.  “Permanent Capital Vehicles” refers to (a) assets that are managed by Athene Asset Management, L.P., (b) assets that are owned by or related to MidCap FinCo Limited and managed by Apollo Capital Management, L.P., and (c) assets of publicly traded vehicles managed by Apollo such as AP Alternative Assets, L.P. (“AAA”), Apollo Investment Corporation (“AINV”), Apollo Commercial Real Estate Finance, Inc. (“ARI”), Apollo Residential Mortgage, Inc. (“AMTG”), Apollo Tactical Income Fund Inc. (“AIF”), and Apollo Senior Floating Rate Fund Inc. (“AFT”), in each case that do not have redemption provisions or a requirement to return capital to investors upon exiting the investments made with such capital, except as required by applicable law. The investment management arrangements of AINV, AIF and AFT have one year terms, are reviewed annually and remain in effect only if approved by the boards of directors of such companies or by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting shares of such companies, including in either case, approval by a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940. In addition, the investment management arrangements of AINV, AIF and AFT may be terminated in certain circumstances upon 60 days’ written notice. The investment management arrangements of ARI and AMTG have one year terms and are reviewed annually by each company’s board of directors and may be terminated under certain circumstances by an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of such company’s independent directors. The investment management arrangements between MidCap FinCo Limited and Apollo Capital Management, L.P. and Athene and Athene Asset Management, L.P. may also be terminated under certain circumstances.  “Fundraising” represents gross inflows which includes new subscriptions, commitments, capital raised, other increases in available capital, purchases and acquisitions.  “Capital deployed” or “Deployment” is the aggregate amount of capital that has been invested during a given period by (i) our drawdown funds (ii) SIAs that have a defined maturity date and (iii) funds and SIAs in our real estate debt strategy.  “Dry Powder” represents the amount of capital available for investment or reinvestment subject to the provisions of the applicable limited partnership agreements or other governing agreements of the funds, partnerships and accounts we manage.  “Total Invested Capital” refers to the aggregate cash invested by the relevant Apollo fund and includes capitalized costs relating to investment activities, if any, but does not give effect to cash pending investment or available for reserves.  “Realized Value” refers to all cash investment proceeds received by the relevant Apollo fund, including interest and dividends, but does not give effect to management fees, expenses, incentive compensation or carried interest to be paid by such Apollo fund.  “Unrealized Value” refers to the fair value consistent with valuations determined in accordance with GAAP, for investments not yet realized and may include pay in kind, accrued interest and dividends receivable, if any. In addition, amounts include committed and funded amounts for certain investments.  “Total Value” represents the sum of the total Realized Value and Unrealized Value of investments.  “Multiple of Invested Capital” or “MOIC” is calculated as Total Value divided by Total Invested Capital.


 
Non-GAAP Financial Information & Definitions Cont’d 29  Gross IRR of a private equity fund represents the cumulative investment-related cash flows in the fund itself (and not any one investor in the fund) on the basis of the actual timing of investment inflows and outflows (for unrealized investments assuming disposition on March 31, 2015 or other date specified) aggregated on a gross basis quarterly, and the return is annualized and compounded before management fees, carried interest and certain other fund expenses (including interest incurred by the fund itself) and measures the returns on the fund’s investments as a whole without regard to whether all of the returns would, if distributed, be payable to the fund’s investors.  Net IRR of a private equity fund means the Gross IRR, including returns for related parties which may not pay fees or carried interest, net of management fees, certain fund expenses (including interest incurred by the fund itself) and realized carried interest all offset to the extent of interest income, and measures returns on amounts that, if distributed, would be paid to investors of the fund. To the extent that an Apollo private equity fund exceeds all requirements detailed within the applicable fund agreement, the estimated unrealized value is adjusted such that a percentage of up to 20.0% of the unrealized gain is allocated to the general partner of the fund, thereby reducing the balance attributable to fund investors. Net IRR does not represent the return to any fund investor.  “Traditional private equity fund appreciation (depreciation)” refers to gain (loss) and income for the traditional private equity funds (i.e., Funds I-VIII) for the periods presented on a total return basis before giving effect to fees and expenses. The performance percentage is determined by dividing (a) the change in the fair value of investments over the period presented, minus the change in invested capital over the period presented, plus the realized value for the period presented, by (b) the beginning unrealized value for the period presented plus the change in invested capital for the period presented.  Gross IRR of a credit fund represents the annualized return of a fund based on the actual timing of all cumulative fund cash flows before management fees, carried interest income allocated to the general partner and certain other fund expenses. Calculations may include certain investors that do not pay fees. The terminal value is the net asset value as of the reporting date. Non- U.S. dollar denominated (“USD”) fund cash flows and residual values are converted to USD using the spot rate as of the reporting date.  Net IRR of a credit fund represents the annualized return of a fund after management fees, carried interest income allocated to the general partner and certain other fund expenses, calculated on investors that pay such fees.
