The program will launch in North America; may expand to other markets in the future.

Citigroup has entered into an exclusive agreement with asset manager Apollo to form a $25b private credit, direct lending program.

The program will launch in North America, with the potential to expand to additional markets, Citi said in a press release.

Mubadala Investment Company will participate in the program as Apollo’s strategic partner. Apollo’s subsidiary Athene is also a participant.
