Asset manager Apollo has opened a new office in London, UK, as part of its strategy to expand its offering of integrated asset management and retirement services capabilities globally, including in European markets.

The 88,000 sq ft, four-floor office at 1 Soho Place will bring together Apollo's teams from two previous offices in the city, providing a best-in-class workplace for employees and a dedicated client space. With nearly 400 employees in Europe, Apollo's European teams manage almost a quarter of the company's $548 billion total capital.

The new office will serve as an expanded regional hub for Apollo's European team, complementing its presence in France, Luxembourg, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, and the Netherlands.

Marc Rowan, CEO of Apollo, commented “London is a global financial hub where we have assembled a growing, diverse and highly talented team. While we are strong believers in having a local presence across geographies, we also need an anchor location where our people can meet, collaborate and innovate. That is what we’re launching in London today, which I am confident will enable our team to work together to execute on our global growth strategy.”

Rob Seminara, Partner and Head of Europe, said: “Our new London office will provide our people with one of the region’s best, state-of-the-art workspaces. This further reinforces our commitment to offering the full Apollo platform – from credit, equity, and real assets to retirement services and wealth capabilities – across regions as we strive to put forward creative, bespoke solutions to meet clients’ needs.”
