ADVISORY BUSINESS
Apollo Global Management, Inc.
Apollo Global Management, Inc. (“AGM,” and together with its subsidiaries, “Apollo”), a
Delaware corporation, is a high-growth alternative asset manager that is publicly listed on the New
York Stock Exchange under the symbol “APO.” AGM’s business is to generate investment
income and retirement savings by managing, raising, and investing assets in private and public
markets and across the Yield, Hybrid, and Equity spectrum (as described herein) in order to seek
excess return for Apollo Clients (as defined below). Beginning with the quarter ended March 31,
2022, AGM has three reportable segments: (1) Asset Management; (2) Retirement Services; and
(3) Principal Investing.
In the Asset Management segment, AGM has re-aligned its strategies from Credit, Private Equity,
and Real Assets into Yield, Hybrid, and Equity to better reflect its range of investment capabilities
on a relative risk/return basis. Yield covers the full financing universe across private and public
markets seeking to help companies access flexible, low-cost capital solutions to fund their growth
and achieve corporate objectives. Yield utilizes proprietary platforms and corporate solutions
capabilities in the corporate fixed income, direct lending, structured credit, and commercial real
estate debt, among other, spaces. Hybrid brings together capabilities across debt and equity to
provide companies, financial sponsors, and intermediaries with creative, expedient, and scaled
capital solutions responsive to their needs during both periods of dislocation and market strength.
Equity takes a hands-on investment approach to support management teams, business
transformation and growth under the Apollo Funds’ (as defined herein) ownership, with strategies
spanning traditional private equity, real estate, and impact investing. Control equity transactions
are principally buyouts, corporate carveouts and distressed investments, while real asset funds
generally transact in single asset, portfolio, and platform acquisitions. Equity strategies are
customarily rooted in deep due diligence, relatively conservative underwriting, and an ability to
invest throughout market cycles.
In the Retirement Services segment, Athene Holding Ltd. (“Athene Holding”) issues, reinsures,
and acquires retirement savings products and helps customers grow their savings and generate
lifetime income.
In the Principal Investing segment, AGM makes strategic equity and financing investments and
generates performance allocations from funds advised by its subsidiaries.
Apollo Asset Management, Inc.
Apollo Asset Management, Inc. (“AAM”), a Delaware corporation, is one of AGM’s principal
subsidiaries. AAM’s preferred stock is publicly listed on the New York Stock Exchange under
the symbols AAM-PA and AAM-PB. AGM’s asset management business (described above)
operates under AAM.
Investment funds (“Apollo Funds”), real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), vehicles, accounts,
products, and/or other similar arrangements sponsored, advised, and/or managed by Apollo or its
affiliates, whether currently in existence or subsequently established (in each case, including any
related successor funds, alternative vehicles, supplemental capital vehicles, surge funds, over-flow
funds, co-investment vehicles and other entities formed in connection with Apollo or its affiliates
side-by-side or additional general partner investments with respect thereto) are collectively

management on a discretionary basis and $0 in regulatory assets under management on a non-
discretionary basis.
Investment Advisory Relationship
The advisory relationship between the ARIS REIT and the Adviser is governed by an advisory
agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”). The negotiation of the Advisory Agreement between
the ARIS REIT and the Adviser was not conducted at arm’s length because they are related parties.
The terms of the Advisory Agreement, including the fees payable to the Adviser, could therefore
be less favorable to the ARIS REIT than they would be if they had been negotiated with an
unaffiliated third party.
The Adviser generally seeks to acquire, develop, reposition, manage, and operate commercial real
estate primarily in the United States and focuses on a range of asset types.
Pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is responsible for, among other
things:
• serving as an advisor to the ARIS REIT with respect to the establishment and periodic
review of their investment guidelines and the ARIS REIT’s investments, financing
activities, and operations;
• sourcing, evaluating, and monitoring the ARIS REIT’s investment opportunities and
executing the acquisition, management, financing, and disposition of the ARIS REIT’s
assets, in accordance with their investment guidelines, policies and objectives and
limitations, subject to oversight by the ARIS Parent board of directors;
• with respect to prospective acquisitions, purchases, sales, exchanges or other dispositions
of investments, conducting negotiations on the ARIS REIT’s behalf with sellers,
purchasers, and other counterparties and, if applicable, their respective agents, advisors,
and representatives, and determining the structure and terms of such transactions;
• providing portfolio management and other related services;
• serving as advisor with respect to decisions regarding any of the ARIS REIT’s financings,
hedging activities, or borrowings; and
• engaging and supervising, on the ARIS REIT’s behalf and at their expense, various service
providers.
The Adviser’s scope of authority with respect to acquisition and disposition of transactions by the
ARIS REIT may be changed by the board of directors of the ARIS Parent from time to time.
The advisory relationship between the AREI IDF and the Adviser is governed by an investment
management agreement.
The information provided above about the investment advisory services provided by the Adviser
is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Clients’ governing documents and, in relation to
the ARIS REIT, the Advisory Agreement filed as an exhibit to the ARIS Parent’s registration
statement which is publicly available on the SEC’s website.
