Limited Issuer Repurchases / Secondary Transfer Review
Research reviewed October 20, 2026
A September 22, 2026 SEC-filed shareholder update reported third-quarter requests to repurchase approximately 14.7% of outstanding shares. Apollo stated it would honor requests for 5% of shares under the fund's liquidity framework. Those figures are offer-specific and should not be presented as a current tender window.
For a credit fund, the review should consider portfolio credit quality, non-accruals, valuation changes, leverage and distribution coverage alongside the repurchase program. Scheduled liquidity and the fund's underlying financial condition are related but distinct questions.
Source dates matter. Historical offering records, transaction announcements and completed tender periods should not be interpreted as present offers. Confirm subsequent notices and the investor's current balance before making a transaction decision.
Begin by checking the issuer's current repurchase documents, including eligibility, deadline, pricing date and settlement process. If requests exceed the amount accepted, an investor may retain shares after the offer closes.
A private secondary transaction is a separate possibility to evaluate, not an assumed source of liquidity. Any potential purchaser and transfer must satisfy the investment's requirements. Do not cancel an existing instruction or assume an interest has transferred until the relevant parties confirm the applicable steps.
A published NAV is a fund valuation reference, not an assurance that all of an investor's shares can be sold at that amount. Compare the applicable valuation date, share class, early repurchase deductions, proration and settlement terms. A private offer, if available, may differ from NAV.
Compare gross consideration with the net amount after disclosed transaction charges, sponsor or transfer-agent fees, and any other applicable deductions. Request the terms in writing. Personal tax consequences require review with the investor's tax professional.
IRA, trust, estate and entity registrations may involve additional signatures or custodian procedures. The required documents and any signature guarantee should be confirmed for the particular transfer.
AIL can assess the available ownership records, transfer requirements, valuation references and potential market interest. A review does not guarantee a buyer, an issuer repurchase, a price or a completion date.

Research reviewed October 20, 2026. The dates and limitations of each source should be considered when evaluating current liquidity.
Secondary market interest depends on more than asset type. AIL evaluates each position based on investment structure, transferability, documentation, and current market conditions.
Ownership type, sponsor requirements, investment terms, and underlying asset characteristics all influence review.
Some positions may be subject to transfer restrictions, approval requirements, or limitations within governing documents.
Offering materials, account records, ownership documents, and sponsor information help determine whether review can proceed.
Potential liquidity depends on current buyer interest, asset category, pricing expectations, and transaction feasibility.
Every opportunity is reviewed individually. Our process is designed to provide clarity regarding transferability, marketability, and potential liquidity pathways before any transaction decisions are made.
