Ares Management Corporation is a leading alternative asset manager with a global presence, operating in the United States, Europe, and Asia. The company's Tradable Credit Group segment is a key player in the investment management space, offering a range of funds and vehicles to institutional and retail investors. These include commingled and separately managed accounts, publicly traded vehicles, and sub-advised funds, all focused on the tradable and non-investment grade corporate credit markets.
The Direct Lending Group segment provides financing solutions to small-to-medium sized companies, helping them access the capital they need to grow and thrive. This segment is particularly important, as it fills a critical gap in the market, providing financing options to companies that may not have access to traditional funding sources.
The Private Equity Group segment takes a more hands-on approach, focusing on majority or shared-control investments in under-capitalized companies. This approach allows Ares Management to bring its expertise and resources to bear, helping to drive growth and transformation in these businesses.
The Real Estate Group segment is another key area of focus for Ares Management, with a dual approach that includes investing in new developments and repositioning existing assets. The company targets control or majority-control investments, and also originates and invests in self-originated financing opportunities for middle-market owners and operators of commercial real estate.
Founded in 1997, Ares Management Corporation has a long history of success, and is headquartered in Los Angeles, California, with additional offices across the United States, Europe, and Asia.
