Ares Management exited September 2026 with $416.4 billion in fee-earning assets, up 1.6% sequentially and 13.3% year over year. Base management fee revenue increased 10.2% year over year to $1.1 billion in the quarter, while fee-related earnings increased 11.2% to $524 million.
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.
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.
