Apollo Insider Sounds Alarm: PE Software Valuations Deeply Flawed, Lenders Risk Major Losses

Apollo executive John Zito recently indicated that private equity firms are broadly overstating the valuation of their software assets. Addressing UBS clients last month, Zito asserted that current valuation marks are largely inaccurate. He further cautioned that creditors providing financing to smaller software enterprises might only recuperate between 20 to 40 cents on each dollar loaned, suggesting substantial potential losses for these lenders.
