Apollo Investment Strategy

Can someone elaborate on Apollo's investment strategy & approach to uncovering value, beyond the general themes that have been mentioned on this forum (minimize equity check through max leverage; aggressive leverage terms; find companies with good/bad segments, divest the bad ones and enhance the good ones).

Concrete examples are welcome as well. Appreciate any insight.
