Apollo extends daily pricing as Deloitte finds 4% fully revalue daily

Deloitte counts 48% of private credit fund groups refreshing valuations daily on observable market inputs. Only 4% run a full daily update that revisits unobservable inputs, cash flow assumptions and methodology.

Apollo has begun extending daily pricing across its $850bn credit business. Observable inputs arrive from outside the firm and can be pulled into a valuation every day. Unobservable inputs do not arrive; the manager sets them, along with the cash flow assumptions underneath and the methodology that governs both.

BDC common stocks dropped again in the week ended October 9, according to BDC Reporter's weekly recap. Those exchange-traded share prices are a weekly measure, not the same as the second-quarter whole-loan mark in BlackRock's 97% figure.
