Ares Management
MediumFirm Overview
Ares Management Corporation is a leading global alternative investment manager operating across credit, private equity, and real estate markets.
Founded in 1997 by a group of partners including Antony Ressler and Michael Arougheti, Ares Management has grown into one of the world's largest alternative asset managers. The firm operates through four primary business units: Credit, Private Equity, Real Estate, and Ares SSG. It became a public company in 2014 and is currently listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
