37 分钟Welcome to another episode of Goldman Sachs Exchange's Great Investors.
I'm Alison Mass, Chairman of Investment Banking in Goldman Sachs' Global Banking and Markets Business,
and your host for this episode.
Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with Jim Zelter,
President of Apollo Global Management, one of the world's largest alternative asset managers
and provider of retirement solutions.
We're talking with Jim at a truly dynamic time.
The global economy is experiencing an unprecedented surge in capital expenditures driven by the growth in AI,
data centers, the energy transition, and infrastructure needs,
while an aging population is facing new retirement challenges.
We 'll talk to Jim about how he 's strategically positioning Apollo to address the massive capital needs,
his perspective on where risks are accumulating, and where he 's seeing investment opportunities around the world.
So Jim, welcome to Great Investors.
It's a real pleasure to be here.
So I always like to start these sessions by asking what got people interested in business and finance in the first place.
You started your career on Wall Street as a trader in the public markets,
starting out as a fixed income trader, and then working as a high yield trader here at Goldman Sachs.
I did not have a typical finance background out of college.
I did various jobs.
I worked in the fishing industry in Alaska.
