NEW YORK, Oct. 31, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Apollo Global Management, Inc. (NYSE: APO) (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Apollo”) today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019.

“On September 5th, Apollo completed its conversion from a partnership to a corporation, and we are already beginning to realize the anticipated benefits including access to a much larger universe of institutional investors, enhanced liquidity, and index inclusion.
