Apollo Global Management Inc. expects commitments for its 10th flagship private equity fund to reach the “low $20 billion range,” falling short of the buyout giant’s earlier $25 billion target.

The fund received $16 billion of commitments through March 31, with a final close expected in the summer, Apollo Co-President Scott Kleinman said on an earnings call Tuesday, after the firm reported a sharper-than-expected drop in first-quarter profit.
