Apollo Credit Overview
Apollo Debt Solutions BDC
Apollo U.S. Private Credit

  1. There is no assurance that the Fund's distribution rate will be sustainable in the future nor are distributions guaranteed. The Fund's distribution policy is to make quarterly distributions to shareholders. Shareholders should not assume that the source of a distribution from the Fund is net profit. A portion of the Fund’s most recent distribution includes return of capital for Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) purposes. Please refer to the Fund's most recent Section 19(a) notice for an estimate of the composition of the Fund's most recent distribution, available at www.apollo.com/adcf, and the Fund's semi-annual or annual reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for additional information regarding the composition of distributions. The Fund's distributions may be affected by numerous factors, including but not limited to changes in Fund expenses including the amount of expenses waived by the Fund's investment adviser, investment performance, realized and projected market returns, fluctuations in market interest rates, and other factors. It is important to note that differences exist between the Fund’s accounting records prepared in accordance with GAAP and recordkeeping practices required under income tax regulations. Therefore, the characterization of Fund distributions for federal income tax purposes may be different from GAAP characterization estimates. The determination of what portion of each year’s distributions constitutes ordinary income, qualifying dividend income, short or long-term capital gains or return of capital is determined at year-end and reported to shareholders on Form 1099-DIV, which is mailed every year in late January. The Fund does not provide tax advice.
  2. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Investment return and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate. Shares may be worth more or less than original cost when redeemed. Investing involves risk, including loss of principal. Performance includes reinvestment of distributions and is net of all Fund expenses. Fund returns greater than one year are annualized. Fund returns would have been lower had expenses not been waived during the period. Unless otherwise noted, the Fund return does not reflect the deduction of any applicable Fund share class sales load, third-party brokerage commissions or third-party investment advisory fees paid by investors to a financial intermediary for such services. If the deduction of such fees was reflected, the performance would be lower. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investing in the Fund involves risks, including the risk that you may receive little or no return on your investment or that you may lose part or all of your investment. The ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective depends, in part, on the ability of the Adviser to allocate effectively the assets of the Fund among the various securities and investments in which the Fund invests. There can be no assurance that the actual allocations will be effective in achieving the Fund’s investment objective or delivering positive returns. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted.
  3. Apollo Diversified Credit Fund is an interval fund and designed for long-term investors. Unlike many closed-end investment companies, the Fund’s shares are not listed on any securities exchange and are not publicly traded. There currently is no secondary market for the shares and the Adviser does not expect that a secondary market will develop. Limited liquidity is provided to shareholders only through the Fund’s quarterly repurchase offers for no less than 5% of the Fund’s shares outstanding at net asset value. There is no guarantee that shareholders will be able to sell all of the shares they desire in a quarterly repurchase offer.
  4. The Fund offers multiple different classes of shares. An investment in any share class of the Fund represents an investment in the same assets of the Fund. However, the purchase restrictions, ongoing fees, expenses, and performance for each share class are different. For more information on the differences in share classes, refer to the applicable prospectus, which can be found at www.apollo.com/adcf,.
  5. Inception date for Class A, Class C, and Class L is April 3, 2017; inception date for Class L is September 5, 2017.

This material is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation to purchase any security. Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of Apollo Diversified Credit Fund (the “Fund”). This and other important information about the Fund is contained in the prospectus, which can be obtained by visiting www.apollo.com/adcf. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.

Apollo Diversified Credit Fund is a diversified, closed-end management investment company that is operated as an interval fund. The Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in debt securities. This investment involves a high degree of risk. An investor should invest in the Fund only if the investor can afford the complete loss of an investment. Prospective investors should carefully read the Fund’s prospectus for a description of the risk associated with an investment in the Fund in determining whether an investment in the Fund is suitable. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Limited Liquidity. An investor should consider an investment in the Fund to be of limited liquidity and is suitable only for investors who can bear the risks associated with the limited liquidity of the Fund and should be viewed as a long-term investment. The Fund’s shares are not listed on any securities exchange, and no secondary public market for the sale of the Fund’s interests exists, nor is one likely or expected to develop. As described in the prospectus under “Quarterly Repurchases of Shares,” the Fund provides limited liquidity through quarterly offers to repurchase a limited amount of the Fund’s shares (at least 5% of the Fund’s outstanding shares); however, there is no guarantee that an investor will be able to sell all the shares that the investor desires to sell in the repurchase offer.
  • Below Investment Grade. The Fund invests in securities that are rated below investment grade by rating agencies or that would be rated below investment grade if they were rated. Below investment grade securities, which are often referred to as “junk,” have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. They may also be illiquid and difficult to value. Lower grade instruments may be particularly susceptible to economic downturns, which could adversely affect the ability of the issuers of such instruments to repay principal and pay interest thereon, increase the incidence of default for such instruments and severely disrupt the market value of such instruments.
  • Use of Leverage. The Fund utilizes leverage which will magnify the potential for loss on amounts invested in the Fund.
  • Fees and Expenses. The Fund is subject to charges for management and other fees regardless of whether the Fund has a positive return. Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus for a complete description of expenses to be charged to the Fund.
  • Distributions. The Fund will ordinarily pay distributions, if any, once a quarter. There is no assurance that the Fund’s distribution rate will be sustainable in the future nor are distributions guaranteed. The Fund may pay distributions in significant part from sources that may not be available in the future and that may be unrelated to the Fund’s performance, such as return of capital and borrowings. Shareholders should note that a return of capital will reduce the tax basis of their shares and potentially increase the taxable gain, if any, upon disposition of their shares. Please refer to the Fund’s most recent Section 19(a) notice, available at www.apollo.com/adcf, for an estimate of the composition of the Fund’s most recent distribution which includes a de minimis return of capital. The Fund’s semi-annual and annual reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) are available on the Fund’s website and include additional information regarding the composition of distributions. The Fund’s distributions may be affected by numerous factors, including but not limited to changes in Fund expenses including the amount of expenses waived by the Fund’s Adviser, investment performance, realized and projected market returns, fluctuations in market interest rates, and other factors.
  • Potential Loss of Investment. Investing in the Fund is speculative and involves a high degree of risk and no guarantee or representation is made that the Fund’s investment strategy will be successful under all market conditions, nor do we guarantee any level of return or risk. An investment in the Fund could require a long-term commitment, with limited liquidity and the risk of loss of capital. Investors must have the financial ability, sophistication, experience and willingness to evaluate the merits and bear the risks of such an investment. Such an investment is not suitable for all potential investors. Investors could lose part or all of an investment, and the Fund could incur losses in markets where major indices are rising and falling. Results could be volatile. Accordingly, investors should understand that past performance is not indicative nor a guarantee of future results. Investors in the Fund should understand that the net asset value of the Fund will fluctuate, which may result in a loss of the principal amount invested. The Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the broad investment environment and capital markets in which the Fund invests. The value of the Fund’s investments will increase or decrease based on changes in the prices of the investments it holds. This will cause the value of the Fund’s shares to increase or decrease. The Fund is “diversified” under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Diversification does not eliminate the risk of experiencing investment losses. The Fund is not intended to be a complete investment program.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities regulator has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if the prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

This sales material is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy securities. Investments mentioned herein may not be suitable for prospective investors. An offering is made only by the prospectus, which must be made available to you prior to making a purchase of shares and is available at www.apollo.com/adcf.
