Apollo Global Management has renewed its efforts to list its shares publicly on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) by early next year, The Wall Street Journal reports. The private equity firm’s shares have been privately traded for more than two years on Goldman Sachs’s GSTrUE platform, which is closed to the general public.

Apollo had initially filed paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission to list shares on the NYSE, in April 2008. The filing was updated in August 2008, and on Monday again after a 15-month gap. The firm is registering 35.6 million Class A shares, more than a third of the total outstanding, adds Bloomberg.
