Apollo Global Management released a letter to clients and partners addressing renewed media attention regarding past connections to Jeffrey Epstein.
The firm reiterated that in 2020 it conducted an independent and transparent investigation into any relationships with Epstein, and that there is no new information beyond what was previously disclosed. Apollo stated that neither CEO Marc Rowan nor any other Apollo personnel—excluding co-founder Leon Black—had business or personal relationships with Epstein.
Apollo confirmed that Black, who departed the firm in 2021, had previously retained and compensated Epstein for personal tax advice. In limited cases, Marc Rowan and other employees provided information to Epstein related to that tax work. The firm said any attempts by Epstein to pursue work with Apollo co-founders other than Black were declined.
Apollo emphasized its commitment to transparency and stated it remains focused on delivering for investors amid market volatility.
