Investing.com -- The defense and artificial intelligence sectors require such substantial funding that private capital will be essential alongside public markets and banks, according to Apollo Global Management’s co-head of European Credit Tristram Leach.

In an interview with Bloomberg TV, Leach described the investment needs in these sectors as "massive," explaining that all available capital sources are necessary to meet demand.

Leach indicated that Apollo is prepared to increase its defense investments. He also noted that 2025 has seen non-European investors directing more capital toward Europe.

"Investors have got a sense for the growth that’s coming and want to rebalance out of the US," Leach said, adding that sentiment toward European investments has shifted positively.
