Ares Management (ARES US) is a very different business from the previous 3, operating as a large-scale alternative asset manager focused on private markets rather than traditional public equities - it only joined the S&P 500 last year. Its platform spans five areas, credit, real assets, secondaries, private equity and insurance, with credit the dominant division at US$446 billion, or approximately 65% of fee-earning assets.
MM is cautiously bullish towards ARES below US$140
Ares Management is one of the world's largest alternative-asset managers, with $671.3 billion in total assets under management, including $409.9 billion in fee-earning AUM, at the end of June 2026.

The firm primarily serves institutional investors (80% of AUM) and high-net-worth individuals (20%). Ares operates through more than 35 offices in over 15 countries.
