Ares Management Corp
Ares Management Corporation (ARES) is a global alternative asset manager that invests across credit, private equity and real estate. It earns recurring management fees and performance-related fees from assets under management (AUM), and its operating model blends fee-related earnings with capital appreciation from co-investments. With a market capitalisation of about $49.04 billion, Ares has grown through fundraising, acquisitions and product diversification into listed investment vehicles and private funds. Key considerations for investors include sensitivity to credit and economic cycles, the illiquid nature of many alternative investments, and reliance on continued fundraising and fee compression dynamics. Financial results are driven by AUM trends, realised investment performance and capital markets activity.

Diversified fee streams
Management and performance fees across multiple strategies can smooth earnings, though fees and realised results depend on market performance and fundraising.
Alternative assets focus
Exposure to credit, private equity and real estate offers diversification away from public markets, but many holdings are illiquid and valuation can be opaque.
Cyclical sensitivity
Earnings and fundraising are sensitive to credit and economic cycles; downturns can compress fees and reduce realised returns, so volatility is possible.
