Apollo Global Management Inc. has launched its first real estate credit fund for rich European investors as the alternative asset management giant chases its target of managing $150 billion of private wealth.

The Apollo European Real Estate Debt fund will invest in mostly senior loans to low-risk buildings alongside other vehicles managed by the firm, according to a statement Wednesday. The fund has been seeded with €160 million ($170 million) from an Apollo retirement insurance affiliate and has been structured as a semi-liquid perpetual vehicle that has no fixed term, it said.
