Does anyone have any information on the Apollo S3 Sponsor and Secondary solutions group? It was formed recently and was wondering how it compares to, Carlyle AlpInvest etcAny info on comp and wlb would be appreciated!

It’s small but growing new group. They hired the former Blackrock team and are building it out. They raised around $4 billion from ADIA and some other folks and are trying to raise a broader fund around it and actively doing deals. I would assume pay is decent given it’s Apollo though it could potentially come with some of the wlb issues associated with that firm (though haven’t specifically heard this). It’s pretty new but seems setup well for success.
