The Rosen Law Firm has filed a securities fraud class action lawsuit against Apollo Global Management, Inc. (NYSE: APO) on behalf of investors who purchased the company's securities between May 10, 2021 and February 21, 2026. The lawsuit alleges that Apollo Global's leadership, including Marc Rowan and Leon Black, frequently communicated with Jeffrey Epstein during the 2010s regarding the company's business, despite Apollo Global's public assertions that it had never done business with Epstein.

Why it matters

The lawsuit claims that Apollo Global's entanglement with Epstein posed significant reputational risks to the company, which were not properly disclosed to investors. The case highlights the importance of transparency and accurate disclosures in the financial services industry, especially regarding high-profile business relationships.

The details

The class action lawsuit alleges that Apollo Global made false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose that its leadership, including Rowan and Black, frequently communicated with Epstein regarding the company's business in the 2010s. This contradicted Apollo Global's public assertions that it had never done business with Epstein. The lawsuit claims that the harm to Apollo Global's reputation from its Epstein connections was more than a mere possibility, and that the company's statements about its business, operations, and prospects were therefore materially false and misleading.

  • The class period covers purchases of Apollo Global securities between May 10, 2021 and February 21, 2026.
  • The lead plaintiff deadline is May 1, 2026.
