Ares Management

Ares Management is a publicly listed alternative investment manager. It raises capital from institutional and other professional investors, deploys that capital across alternative asset strategies, and earns revenue primarily from recurring management fees and performance-based income tied to investment results. Its customers are principally limited partners and institutional allocators seeking exposure to private markets rather than end consumers. The business model combines long-duration fund relationships, investment origination and portfolio management, and selective acquisitions to broaden strategy coverage and distribution.
