Improved Equity and Credit Market Conditions Should Boost Ares' Private Market Activities

Greggory Warren

Ares Management has built a solid position in the alternative-asset management industry. It relies on its reputation, fairly broad product portfolio, investment performance history, and cadre of dedicated professionals to not only raise capital but maintain its standing as a go-to firm for institutional and high-net-worth investors looking for exposure to alternative assets. With $671.3 billion in total assets under management, including $409.9 billion in fee-earning AUM, at the end of June 2026, Ares is one of the world's largest stand-alone alternative-asset managers.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Ares, with $409.9 billion in fee-earning AUM at the end of June 2026, is a go-to firm for institutional and high-net-worth investors looking for exposure to alternative assets.

Bears

A prolonged downturn in the credit and/or equity markets could leave potential investors in Ares' funds with limited liquidity and large commitments to other funds, making it difficult for the firm to raise new capital.
