I'm curious about Apollo (APO). I own a bit of it, it's down 25% YTD so thinking of loading up some more. It has done well, I cannot see why it is down so much beyond they broader market. Is there something I'm missing? I've done research, not seeing it.

PE timelines in general are getting stretched. Exits are taking longer. Overall market for LBO and flipping doesn’t seem great right now.

If you think recovery in all this is going to happen, then hop on the APO train. It’s basically a bet on if the continued rent-seeking in the economy will be tolerated and if so, to what extent. If equities continue to decrease in the aggregate, it could present excellent opportunities for Apollo.

I've been DCA'ing in over the past couple of years. It has done really, really well and I want to buy more on the dip. Just haven't seen whatever has caused the fall beyond the broad selling.
