This collaboration enables InvestCloud's wealth management clients to incorporate Apollo's private market model portfolios, and multi-manager models, into their managed account programs through its industry-leading APL platform. By offering efficient access to private markets alongside traditional public market securities, the partnership empowers thousands of advisors to diversify portfolios with confidence and achieve better investment outcomes for millions of clients.

The PMA Network is a connected ecosystem of asset managers, wealth managers, intermediaries, distributors and model creators that will include access to Apollo's private market model portfolios within the PMA, a centralized point for holding, valuing and rebalancing alternative investments for those who are eligible. The PMA Network will use the InvestCloud platform to connect wealth managers to an array of alternative asset managers, making private markets products available for inclusion in portfolios. Apollo is the founding alternative asset manager in the PMA Network, leading the market on combining private and public market investments in a single portfolio.

"The PMA Network is a unique InvestCloud innovation designed to crack the code on how wealth managers, financial advisors and investors access private markets to deliver a unique and seamless public-private investment experience," said Jeff Yabuki, Chairman and CEO of InvestCloud. "By combining Apollo's deep private market expertise with our leading technology, we are dramatically accelerating the integration of private markets into the wealth management landscape."

Yabuki added, "We are thrilled to have Apollo as the founding alternative asset manager to join the PMA Network, which connects private markets asset managers, wealth managers and other suppliers. The Network is further democratizing access to private markets, helping our clients to achieve better outcomes for their customers. The PMA is a truly innovative solution, and the close partnership with Apollo creates an unrivalled capability, offering and platform."

"The convergence of private and public markets is shaping the future of wealth management. Apollo is investing heavily to provide the global wealth market access to private markets investments and seamless infrastructure for advisors to integrate these solutions into their broader client portfolios. Today's announcement is the culmination of months of deep collaboration with InvestCloud, a partnership we believe marks a pivotal step for the wealth management industry to broadly manage true total-market portfolios. Leveraging InvestCloud's world-class platform, and client base of leading wealth management firms, Apollo and other general partners within the PMA Network can gain unparalleled access to distribution channels, creating new possibilities for the entire ecosystem," said Stephanie Drescher, Partner and Chief Client & Product Solutions Officer at Apollo Global Management.

Apollo's portfolio strategies include a wide range of private market investments. Designed to simplify and align with advisors' preferred portfolio construction approach, Apollo's model solutions can support full fixed income, equity and real asset replacement solutions to create complementary risk-based total market portfolios, as well as outcome-based private market solutions.

Originally unveiled in December 2024, InvestCloud's Private Markets Account is poised to evolve further in 2025 with enhanced capabilities to help clients stay ahead of the market. The PMA is enabled by APL from InvestCloud, which is the largest managed accounts platform in the country with more than $3 trillion of assets across nearly 10 million accounts utilizing nearly 4 million models on its market-leading technology. APL will bring the innovation of the PMA to the network, with enhanced efficiency and effectiveness.
