Simpson Thacher is advising alternative asset manager Apollo Global Management, Inc. as 1940 Act regulatory counsel in its proposed acquisition of the U.S. wealth distribution and asset management businesses of Griffin Capital. In addition to acquiring Griffin’s well-established team of client-facing distribution professionals and related technology, infrastructure and distribution agreements, Apollo will acquire Griffin’s asset management business, which includes over $5 billion of AUM in individual investor-focused products.
