Insights
Apollo partners with new TenFifty Capital platform to expand into underserved €10-50M European CRE loan market, targeting €1-2B in first-year originations.
Apollo's strategic alliance with the newly launched TenFifty Capital represents a calculated expansion into Europe's underserved small and mid-market commercial real estate lending space. Led by industry veteran Hugh Fraser, TenFifty will focus on €10-50 million loans—a segment experiencing structural gaps as traditional lenders retreat. The platform aims to originate an ambitious €1-2 billion in loans during its first year.
This partnership is particularly shrewd for Apollo as it creates complementary deal flow to their existing large loan strategy while enhancing their granular origination capabilities. By targeting smaller transactions across multiple European markets, Apollo gains access to a broader pipeline of senior secured lending opportunities without diluting their risk profile, as they'll maintain focus on first lien mortgages secured by quality assets.
The alliance leverages Fraser's extensive experience, having co-founded M7 and previously managed over
This move comes at an opportune time when European commercial real estate faces significant refinancing needs amid reduced traditional lender activity, positioning Apollo to capture additional market share in the alternative lending space while maintaining a senior position in the capital stack.

Founder and CEO Hugh Fraser said, “I've long held the belief that the small and mid-market European CRE debt space is often neglected and ripe for improvement. TenFifty Capital exists to address that gap, with a genuinely pan-European platform dedicated to supporting this sector of the market.

In 2017, Apollo was the first lender to support a UK Retail warehouse strategy I was leading at that time, and they quickly became one of our most reliable. Forming genuine, lasting partnerships with our borrowers is a key principle of how TenFifty conducts its business, and this alignment in approach and vision is exciting for us all.”
Apollo Partner and Head of Real Estate Credit, Europe, Ben Eppley said: “Hugh has earned a remarkable reputation in the European real estate market. We have worked with him for many years and are pleased to now formally partner with the launch of TenFifty as a new, high-performing platform.
