Logicworks 5 symbol6/25/2023 But Ares does not fit this pattern: private credit has been and remains its dominant segment dwarfing other lines of business. The public, at large, still considers alt managers as private equity even today underestimating their earning potential and overestimating the risks involved. Most of the big alt managers started as buyout outlets (aka private equity) and later diversified into other lines of business - private credit, real estate, infrastructure, etc. Blackstone, on the contrary, pays out about 85% of all distributable earnings, and the dividend changes from quarter to quarter. Almost all of the management fee-related earnings ("FRE") are being paid out while performance fees and carry are being retained for business development. Since management fees are recurring and predictable, Ares' quarterly dividends do not change from quarter to quarter during a calendar year. For Ares, management fees dominate and this difference has important implications for the dividend policies of both companies. For Blackstone, management fees, on average, are comparable in size to performance fees and carry. As a reminder, alt managers, broadly speaking and slightly oversimplifying, extract three types of fees from the funds under management - recurring management fees (often grouped with much smaller transactional fees), performance fees (accrued periodically but based on achieving certain targets), and carried interest that is realized only after exiting from investments. However, differently from Blackstone, it is a management fee-centric company. In this regard, it is comparable with Blackstone or the new BAM. It is different from each of them.įirst, Ares is persistently asset-light meaning that the company invests the minimum capital legally required in the funds it manages. ![]() The easiest way to describe Ares is by comparing it with other big alt managers. Together all insiders (founders, management, and employees) hold close to half of economic interests and eat their cooking. Some of the public class A shares are also owned directly by Ares employees. Besides three classes of voting shares, there are also non-voting shares that have the same economic rights as class A shares and belong exclusively to Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation.Īssuming the full exchange of partnership units and not voting shares for Class A common shares, founders and management would hold 44.48%, Sumitomo Mitsui would hold 5.72% and the public would hold 49.80% of Ares Management Corporation. These classes exist only to provide insiders with voting control. Two other classes of shares (B and C) are non-economic and are also owned by the same insiders. Partnership units are exchangeable into public voting (class A) shares on a one-for-one basis. The remaining 40% of the partnership is owned by founders and senior management. Similar to its peers, it has a complicated structure with three classes of shares and an operating partnership 60%-owned by the public corporation. The company's structureĪres traces its history to the nineties, became public in 2014 as a partnership, and got incorporated in Delaware in 2018. Is Ares poised to continue delivering similar returns? Let us start with the basics. If we check only recent performance limited to, say, the last 3 years it is even more impressive. ![]() This represents 17% CAGR plus 3-4% yield for a total of 20+% annual return. Nine years ago, it started trading at around $18 and is currently at ~$81. But it is one of the best in terms of performance. I immediately marked Ares as a promising company.īetween the Big Six of alternative asset management (the others are Blackstone ( BX), Brookfield ( BN) ( BAM), Apollo ( APO), KKR ( KKR), Carlyle ( CG)), Ares is arguably the smallest and the least-known. At that time, Alleghany Corporation (now a part of Berkshire Hathaway ( BRK.A) ( BRK.B)), the most circumspect and conservative insurer I have ever followed, invested $250M in Ares and contributed about $1B to Ares-managed funds. So out one and out zero.I first heard of Ares Management ( NYSE: ARES) in 2013, shortly before its IPO the following year. You have three times as many calls as this becomes invalid. The product is more than three Twice Qaswarah 12 four times recalled. She recalled three times the number of calls, zero times the number of calls, and two times the number of calls and two times the number of calls and two times the number of calls and two times the number of calls and two times the number of calls and two times the number of calls And then we have a victory for Para. This is a one in 80 B 10 and it's a dirty model. We have an option, so that's what we have. No memories or historic device can be made by the circuit. The value of time is what determines the output by the national circuit. ![]() It's a building block for any electronic circuit. There are circuits made up of different types of logic.
