About Redding Ridge Asset Management

Redding Ridge Asset Management LLC ("Redding Ridge") was established and seeded by Apollo Global Management, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, "Apollo") in 2016. Redding Ridge has assets under management of approximately $44.5 billion as of September 30, 2025. Redding Ridge's primary business consists of acting as collateral manager for CLO transactions and related warehouse facilities in both the U.S. and Europe. Redding Ridge also provides structuring and advisory services to issuers across various asset classes. 

Redding Ridge's Structuring & Advisory team plays a central role in managing Redding's ~$44 billion of debt across broadly syndicated CLOs and senior unsecured bonds, while serving as the primary structuring partner to Apollo's Private Credit and Asset-Backed Finance initiatives. Redding Ridge's mandate spans Apollo's 16 origination platforms, multiple issuance shelves, and a broad range of strategic partnerships. Since 2020, the team has helped structure and issue over $225 billion of rated debt. Our track record reflects our ability to combine deep structuring expertise across CLOs, ABS, RMBS, Corporate, and Fund Finance to consistently innovate and provide next-generation rated solutions, both public and private. We take a long-term, partnership-oriented view, and our success is a direct result of that approach. 

We are continually seeking structuring & execution professionals who want to accelerate their careers working on some of the most innovative and consequential transactions in a meritocratic, collaborative environment. Team members have the opportunity to grow alongside partner platforms and portfolio companies while gaining exposure to new asset classes and rating methodologies, guided by one of the most accomplished structuring teams in the industry.
