Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
ORGANIZATION | 1. ORGANIZATION Ares Management Corporation (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, together with its subsidiaries, is a leading global alternative investment manager operating integrated groups across Credit, Private Equity, Real Assets and Secondaries . Information about segments should be read together with “Note 13. Segment Reporting.” Subsidiaries of the Company serve as the general partners and/or investment managers to various funds and managed accounts within each investment group (the “Ares Funds”). These subsidiaries provide investment advisory services to the Ares Funds in exchange for management fees. The accompanying unaudited financial statements include the condensed consolidated results of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company is a holding company that operates and controls all of the businesses and affairs of and conducts all of its material business activities through Ares Holdings L.P. (“Ares Holdings”). Ares Holdings represents all the activities of the “Ares Operating Group” or “AOG” and may be referred to interchangeably. The Company, indirectly through its wholly owned subsidiary, Ares Holdco LLC, is the general partner of the Ares Operating Group entity. The Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries manages or controls certain entities that have been consolidated in the accompanying financial statements as described in “Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” These entities include Ares funds, co-investment vehicles, collateralized loan obligations or funds (collectively “CLOs”) and special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) (collectively, the “Consolidated Funds”). Including the results of the Consolidated Funds significantly increases the reported amounts of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows within the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. However, the Consolidated Funds results included herein have no direct effect on the net income attributable to Ares Management Corporation or to its Stockholders’ Equity, except where accounting for a redemption or liquidation preference requires the reallocation of ownership based on specific terms of a profit sharing agreement. Instead, economic ownership interests of the investors in the Consolidated Funds are reflected as redeemable and non-controlling interests in Consolidated Funds. Further, cash flows allocable to redeemable and non-controlling interest in Consolidated Funds are specifically identifiable within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including these notes, are unaudited and exclude some of the disclosures required in annual financial statements. Management believes it has made all necessary adjustments so that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and that estimates made in preparing its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent, and that all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts and activities of the AOG entities, their consolidated subsidiaries and certain Consolidated Funds. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Company has reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the current year presentation. Non-Controlling Interests in Ares Operating Group Entities The non-controlling interests in AOG entities represent a component of equity and net income attributable to the owners of the Ares Operating Group Units (“AOG Units”) that are not held directly or indirectly by the Company. These owners consist predominantly of Ares Owners Holdings L.P. but also include other strategic distribution partnerships with whom the Company has established joint ventures and other non-controlling strategic investors. Non-controlling interests in AOG entities are adjusted for contributions to and distributions from AOG during the reporting period and are allocated income from the AOG entities either based on their historical ownership percentage for the proportional number of days in the reporting period or based on the activity associated with certain membership interests. Redeemable Interest On July 1, 2020, the Company completed its acquisition of a majority interest in SSG Capital Holdings Limited and its operating subsidiaries (“SSG” and subsequently rebranded as “Ares SSG”) (the “SSG Acquisition”). In connection with the SSG Acquisition, the former owners of SSG retained a 20% ownership interest in the operations acquired by the Company. In certain circumstances, the Company had the ability to acquire full ownership of SSG pursuant to a contractual arrangement to be initiated by the Company or by the former owners of SSG. Since the acquisition of the remaining interest in SSG was not within the Company's sole discretion, the ownership interest held by the former owners of SSG was classified as a redeemable interest and represented mezzanine equity. Redeemable interest in AOG entities was initially recorded at fair value on the date of the SSG Acquisition within mezzanine equity within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Income (loss) was allocated based on the ownership percentage attributable to the redeemable interest. As of the date of acquisition, the Company determined that the redemption of the redeemable interest was probable. At each balance sheet date, the carrying value of the redeemable interest is presented at the redemption amount, as defined in accordance with the terms of a contractual arrangement between the Company and the former owners of SSG, to the extent that the redemption amount exceeded the initial measurement on the date of acquisition. The Company recognizes changes in the redemption amount with corresponding adjustments against retained earnings, or additional paid-in-capital in the absence of retained earnings, within stockholders’ equity within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. In connection with a merger agreement to acquire the remaining 20% ownership interest in the Ares SSG fee-generating business that was retained by the former owners of SSG (the “SSG Buyout”), a portion of the redeemable interest in AOG entities was purchased on March 31, 2023 and the Company now owns 100% of Ares SSG’s fee-generating business. The SSG Buyout was effectuated through newly issued shares of Class A common stock. The remaining redeemable interest in AOG entities represents ownership in certain investments that were not included in the SSG Buyout and continues to be presented at the redemption amount within mezzanine equity within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Redeemable interest in Consolidated Funds represent the Class A ordinary shares issued by each of the Company’s sponsored SPACs, as applicable. On April 25, 2023, Ares Acquisition Corporation II (NYSE: AACT) (“AAC II”), Ares’ second sponsored SPAC, consummated its initial public offering. The initial public offering generated gross proceeds of $500.0 million. The Class A ordinary shares, issued by Ares Acquisition Corporation (NYSE: AAC) (“AAC I” and such shares, the “AAC I Class A ordinary shares”) and the Class A ordinary shares, issued by AAC II (the “AAC II Class A ordinary shares”, and, together with the AAC I Class A ordinary shares, the “Class A ordinary shares”) are redeemable for cash by the public shareholders in the event that the SPACs do not complete a business combination or tender offer associated with shareholder approval provisions. The Class A ordinary shareholders have redemption rights that are considered to be outside of either SPAC’s control. At each balance sheet date, the carrying value of the redeemable interest is presented at the redemption amount. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, in connection with the extensions of the period to complete a business combination, the AAC I shareholders elected to redeem an aggregate amount of $553.7 million that was paid from AAC I’s trust account. As of September 30, 2023, the remaining 45,604,260 AAC I Class A ordinary shares and all 50,000,000 AAC II Class A ordinary shares are presented at the redemption amount within mezzanine equity within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standard updates (“ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). ASUs were assessed and determined either to be not applicable or expected to have an immaterial impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. |

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS Intangible Assets, Net The following table summarizes the carrying value, net of accumulated amortization, of the Company’s intangible assets: Weighted Average Amortization Period (in years) as of September 30, 2023 As of September 30, As of December 31, 2023 2022 Management contracts 4.4 $ 571,542 $ 586,077 Client relationships 8.8 178,620 262,301 Trade name 0.0 — 11,079 Other 1.1 500 500 Finite-lived intangible assets 750,662 859,957 Foreign currency translation (841) 935 Total finite-lived intangible assets 749,821 860,892 Less: accumulated amortization (284,031) (220,472) Finite-lived intangible assets, net 465,790 640,420 Management contracts 567,800 567,800 Indefinite-lived intangible assets 567,800 567,800 Intangible assets, net $ 1,033,590 $ 1,208,220 During the third quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $65.7 million to the carrying value of client relationships from the acquisition of Landmark Partners, LLC (the “Landmark Acquisition”) that are included within the Secondaries Group. The primary indicator of impairment was the lower expected fee paying assets under management in a private equity secondaries fund from existing investors as of the date of the Landmark Acquisition. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $4.4 million and $0.7 million to the fair value of management contracts of certain funds within the Real Assets Group and Credit Group, respectively. The primary indicator of impairment was the lower than expected future fee revenue generated from these funds. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company rebranded Ares SSG as Asia credit and discontinued the use of the SSG trade name. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge equal to the SSG trade name’s carrying value of $7.8 million to accelerate the amortization expense in the first quarter of 2023. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $181.6 million, related to rebranding of our secondaries group as Ares Secondaries and discontinued the ongoing use of the Landmark trade name, and fair value of certain management contracts in connection with lower than expected fee paying assets under management. Amortization expense associated with intangible assets, excluding the accelerated amortization described above, was $31.0 million and $32.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $95.0 million and $101.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and is presented within general, administrative and other expenses within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company removed $109.3 million of impaired and fully-amortized intangible assets.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” the former Ares SSG reporting unit has been transferred in its entirety to the Credit Group and the total goodwill of $224.6 million has been reallocated accordingly. There was no impairment of goodwill recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Transfers out of Level III were generally attributable to certain investments that experienced a more significant level of market activity during the period and thus were valued using observable inputs either from independent pricing services or multiple brokers. Transfers into Level III were generally attributable to certain investments that experienced a less significant level of market activity during the period and thus were only able to obtain one or fewer quotes from a broker or independent pricing service.

Debt issuance costs related to the 2024, 2030 and 2052 Senior Notes (the “Senior Notes”) and 2051 Subordinated Notes are recorded as a reduction of the corresponding debt obligation, and debt issuance costs related to the Credit Facility are included within other assets within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. All debt issuance costs are amortized over the remaining term of the related obligation into interest expense within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The following table presents the activity of the Company’s debt issuance costs: Credit Facility Senior Notes Subordinated Notes Unamortized debt issuance costs as of December 31, 2022 $ 5,510 $ 8,393 $ 5,243 Amortization of debt issuance costs (973) (586) (138) Unamortized debt issuance costs as of September 30, 2023 $ 4,537 $ 7,807 $ 5,105 Loan Obligations of the Consolidated CLOs Loan obligations of the Consolidated Funds that are CLOs (“Consolidated CLOs”) represent amounts due to holders of debt securities issued by the Consolidated CLOs. The Company measures the loan obligations of the Consolidated CLOs using the fair value of the financial assets of its Consolidated CLOs. The following loan obligations were outstanding and classified as liabilities of the Consolidated CLOs: As of September 30, 2023 As of December 31, 2022 Fair Value of Weighted Weighted Fair Value of Weighted Weighted Senior secured notes $ 10,781,168 6.44% 8.2 $ 10,142,545 4.84% 8.8 Subordinated notes (1) 679,795 N/A 7.0 559,175 N/A 7.8 Total loan obligations of Consolidated CLOs $ 11,460,963 $ 10,701,720 (1) The notes do not have contractual interest rates; instead, holders of the notes receive distributions from the excess cash flows generated by each Consolidated CLO. Loan obligations of the Consolidated CLOs are collateralized by the assets held by the Consolidated CLOs, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, corporate loans, corporate bonds and other securities. The assets of one Consolidated CLO may not be used to satisfy the liabilities of another Consolidated CLO. Loan obligations of the Consolidated CLOs include floating rate notes, deferrable floating rate notes, revolving lines of credit and subordinated notes. Amounts borrowed under the notes are repaid based on available cash flows subject to priority of payments under each Consolidated CLO’s governing documents. Based on the terms of these facilities, the creditors of the facilities have no recourse to the Company. Credit Facilities of the Consolidated Funds Certain Consolidated Funds maintain credit facilities to fund investments between capital drawdowns. These facilities generally are collateralized by the unfunded capital commitments of the Consolidated Funds’ limited partners, bear an annual commitment fee based on unfunded commitments and contain various affirmative and negative covenants and reporting obligations, including restrictions on additional indebtedness, liens, margin stock, affiliate transactions, dividends and distributions, release of capital commitments and portfolio asset dispositions. The creditors of these facilities have no recourse to the Company and only have recourse to a subsidiary of the Company to the extent the debt is guaranteed by such subsidiary. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Consolidated Funds were in compliance with all covenants under such credit facilities.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Indemnification Arrangements Consistent with standard business practices in the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that contain indemnities for affiliates of the Company, persons acting on behalf of the Company or such affiliates and third parties. The terms of the indemnities vary from contract to contract and the Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements cannot be determined and has not been recorded within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote. Commitments As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had aggregate unfunded commitments to invest in funds it manages or to support certain strategic initiatives of $923.6 million and $677.9 million, respectively. Guarantees The Company has entered into agreements with financial institutions to guarantee credit facilities held by certain funds. In the ordinary course of business, the guarantee of credit facilities held by funds may indicate control and result in consolidation of the fund. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s maximum exposure to losses from guarantees was $16.4 million and $31.5 million, respectively. Contingent Liabilities In connection with the acquisition of AMP Capital’s infrastructure debt platform (the “Infrastructure Debt Acquisition”) during the first quarter of 2022, the Company established a management incentive program (the “Infrastructure Debt MIP”) with certain professionals. The Infrastructure Debt MIP represents a contingent liability not to exceed $48.5 million and is based on the achievement of revenue targets from the fundraising of certain infrastructure debt funds during the measurement periods. The Company expects to settle each portion of the liability with a combination of 15% cash and 85% equity awards. Expense associated with the cash components are recognized ratably over the respective measurement periods, which will end on the final fundraising date for each of the infrastructure debt funds included in the Infrastructure Debt MIP agreement. Expense associated with the equity component is recognized ratably over the service periods, which will continue for four years beyond each of the measurement period end dates. The Infrastructure Debt MIP is remeasured each period with incremental changes in fair value included within compensation and benefits expense within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Following each of the measurement period end dates, the cash component will be paid and restricted units for the portion of the Infrastructure Debt MIP award earned will be granted at fair value. The unpaid liability at the respective measurement period end dates will be reclassified from liability to additional paid-in-capital and any difference between the fair value of the Infrastructure Debt MIP award earned at the respective measurement period end date and the previously recorded compensation expense will be recognized over the remaining four year service period as equity-based compensation expense. The revenue target was achieved for one of the infrastructure debt funds during the fourth quarter of 2022. As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of the contingent liability related to this portion of the award was $21.8 million and the Company recorded $7.0 million within accrued compensation within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. During the first quarter of 2023, the associated liability for this portion of the award was settled with a $3.4 million cash payment and the remaining amount equity-settled and reclassified to additional paid-in-capital. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, compensation expense of $2.2 million and $5.5 million, respectively, related to the achieved portion of the award is presented within compensation and benefits within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2023, the maximum contingent liability associated with the remaining Infrastructure Debt MIP is $15.0 million. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of the contingent liability was $13.6 million and $13.5 million. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has recorded $3.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively, within accrued compensation within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Compensation expense associated with the remaining Infrastructure Debt MIP of $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and $1.8 million and $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, is presented within compensation and benefits within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Carried Interest Carried interest is affected by changes in the fair values of the underlying investments in the funds that are advised by the Company. Valuations, on an unrealized basis, can be significantly affected by a variety of external factors including, but not limited to, public equity market volatility, industry trading multiples and interest rates. Generally, if at the termination of a fund (and increasingly at interim points in the life of a fund), the fund has not achieved investment returns that (in most cases) exceed the preferred return threshold or (in all cases) the general partner receives net profits over the life of the fund in excess of its allocable share under the applicable partnership agreement, the Company will be obligated to repay carried interest that was received by the Company in excess of the amounts to which the Company is entitled. This contingent obligation is normally reduced by income taxes paid by the Company related to its carried interest. Senior professionals of the Company who have received carried interest distributions are responsible for funding their proportionate share of any contingent repayment obligations. However, the governing agreements of certain of the Company’s funds provide that if a current or former professional does not fund his or her respective share for such fund, then the Company may have to fund additional amounts beyond what was received in carried interest, although the Company will generally retain the right to pursue any remedies under such governing agreements against those carried interest recipients who fail to fund their obligations. Additionally, at the end of the life of the funds there could be a payment due to a fund by the Company if the Company has recognized more carried interest than was ultimately earned. The general partner obligation amount, if any, will depend on final realized values of investments at the end of the life of the fund. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, if the Company assumed all existing investments were worthless, the amount of carried interest subject to potential repayment, net of tax distributions, which may differ from the recognition of revenue, would have been approximately $84.3 million and $128.4 million, respectively, of which approximately $65.9 million and $101.0 million, respectively, is reimbursable to the Company by certain professionals who are the recipients of such carried interest. Management believes the possibility of all of the investments becoming worthless is remote. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, if the funds were liquidated at their fair values, there would be no contingent repayment obligation or liability. Litigation From time to time, the Company is named as a defendant in legal actions relating to transactions conducted in the ordinary course of business.

INCOME TAXES | 9. INCOME TAXES The Company’s income tax provision includes corporate income taxes and other entity level income taxes, as well as income taxes incurred by certain affiliated funds that are consolidated in these financial statements. The following table presents the income tax expense (benefit) for the period: Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Income tax expense (benefit) $ 29,898 $ (11,599) $ 113,418 $ 22,272 The Company’s effective income tax rate is dependent on many factors, including the estimated nature and amounts of income and expenses allocated to the non-controlling interests without being subject to federal, state and local income taxes at the corporate level. Additionally, the Company’s effective tax rate is influenced by the amount of income tax provision recorded for any affiliated funds and co-investment vehicles that are consolidated in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded its interim income tax provision utilizing the estimated annual effective tax rate. The income tax effects of temporary differences give rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are presented on a net basis. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a net deferred tax asset of $34.2 million and $68.9 million, respectively, within other assets within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Company files its tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax authorities. With limited exceptions, the Company is generally no longer subject to corporate income tax audits by taxing authorities for any years prior to 2019. Although the outcome of tax audits is always uncertain, the Company does not believe the outcome of any future audit will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
EARNINGS PER SHARE | 10. EARNINGS PER SHARE The Company has Class A and non-voting common stock outstanding. The non-voting common stock has the same economic rights as the Class A common stock; therefore, earnings per share is presented on a combined basis. Income of the Company has been allocated on a proportionate basis to the two common stock classes. Basic earnings per share of Class A and non-voting common stock is computed by using the two-class method. Diluted earnings per share of Class A and non-voting common stock is computed using the more dilutive method of either the two-class method or the treasury stock method. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the two-class method was the more dilutive method. The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share: Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Basic earnings per share of Class A and non-voting common stock: Net income (loss) attributable to Ares Management Corporation Class A and non-voting common stockholders $ 61,823 $ (35,546) $ 300,376 $ 50,048 Distributions on unvested restricted units (5,337) (3,555) (15,969) (10,601) Net income (loss) available to Class A and non-voting common stockholders $ 56,486 $ (39,101) $ 284,407 $ 39,447 Basic weighted-average shares of Class A and non-voting common stock 186,218,638 175,631,144 182,757,955 175,010,241 Basic earnings (loss) per share of Class A and non-voting common stock $ 0.30 $ (0.22) $ 1.54 $ 0.23 Diluted earnings per share of Class A and non-voting common stock: Net income (loss) attributable to Ares Management Corporation Class A and non-voting common stockholders $ 61,823 $ (35,546) $ 300,376 $ 50,048 Distributions on unvested restricted units (5,337) (3,555) (15,969) (10,601) Net income (loss) available to Class A and non-voting common stockholders $ 56,486 $ (39,101) $ 284,407 $ 39,447 Effect of dilutive shares: Restricted units — — — — Options — — — — Diluted weighted-average shares of Class A and non-voting common stock 186,218,638 175,631,144 182,757,955 175,010,241 Diluted earnings (loss) per share of Class A and non-voting common stock $ 0.30 $ (0.22) $ 1.54 $ 0.23 Dividend declared and paid per Class A and non-voting common stock $ 0.77 $ 0.61 $ 2.31 $ 1.83 |

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
EQUITY COMPENSATION | 11. EQUITY COMPENSATION Equity Incentive Plan In April 2023, the Company’s board of directors approved the Company’s 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”), subject to approval by stockholders, to replace the Third Amended and Restated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (“2014 Equity Incentive Plan”). The Equity Incentive Plan was approved by stockholders on June 12, 2023 and as of that date, the number of shares available for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan was 69,122,318 and may reset on January 1 of each year, based on a formula set forth in the Equity Incentive Plan. No new equity-based compensation awards will be granted under the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan. As of September 30, 2023, 69,152,767 shares remained available for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan. Generally, unvested restricted units are forfeited upon termination of employment in accordance with the Equity Incentive Plan. The Company recognizes forfeitures as a reversal of previously recognized compensation expense in the period the forfeiture occurs. Equity-based compensation expense, net of forfeitures, recorded by the Company is presented in the following table: Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Restricted units $ 61,976 $ 48,117 $ 193,509 $ 151,403 Restricted Units Each restricted unit represents an unfunded, unsecured right of the holder to receive a share of the Company’s Class A common stock on a specific date. The restricted units generally vest and are settled in shares of Class A common stock either: (i) at a rate of one-third per year, beginning on the third anniversary of the grant date; (ii) at a rate of one quarter per year, beginning on the second anniversary of the grant date or the holder’s employment commencement date or (iii) at a rate of one-third per year, beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date, in each case generally subject to the holder’s continued employment as of the applicable vesting date (subject to accelerated vesting upon certain qualifying terminations of employment or retirement eligibility provisions). Compensation expense associated with restricted units is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. Restricted units are delivered net of the holder’s payroll related taxes upon vesting. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, 3.6 million restricted units vested and 2.1 million shares of Class A common stock were delivered to the holders. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, 5.4 million restricted units vested and 3.0 million shares of Class A common stock were delivered to the holders. The holders of restricted units, other than awards that have not yet been issued as described in the subsequent sections, generally have the right to receive as current compensation an amount in cash equal to: (i) the amount of any dividend paid with respect to a share of Class A common stock multiplied by (ii) the number of restricted units held at the time such dividends are declared (“Dividend Equivalent”). When units are forfeited, the cumulative amount of Dividend Equivalents previously paid is reclassified to compensation and benefits expense within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The following table summarizes the Company’s dividends declared and Dividend Equivalents paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2023: Record Date Dividends Per Share Dividend Equivalents Paid March 17, 2023 $ 0.77 $ 12,032 June 16, 2023 0.77 11,874 September 15, 2023 0.77 11,704 During the first quarter of 2023, the Company approved the future grant of restricted units to certain senior executives in each of 2024, 2025 and 2026, subject to the holder’s continued employment and acceleration in certain instances. The vesting period of these awards are at a rate of 25% per year, beginning on the second anniversary of the grant date. Given that these future restricted units have been communicated to the recipient, the Company accounts for these awards as if they have been granted and recognizes the compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the service period. The restricted units that have been approved and communicated but not yet granted are not eligible to receive a Dividend Equivalent until the grant date. The following table presents unvested restricted units’ activity: Restricted Units Weighted Average Balance as of December 31, 2022 16,662,999 $ 48.76 Granted 4,749,923 78.81 Vested (3,608,734) 38.30 Forfeited (229,216) 58.36 Balance as of September 30, 2023 17,574,972 $ 58.91 The total compensation expense expected to be recognized in all future periods associated with the restricted units is approximately $712.9 million as of September 30, 2023 and is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average period of 3.3 years. Options Upon exercise, each option entitles the holders to purchase from the Company one share of Class A common stock at the stated exercise price. The term of the options is generally 10 years, all of which expire in May 2024. A summary of options activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 is presented below: Options Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Remaining Life Aggregate Intrinsic Value Balance as of December 31, 2022 5,170,219 $ 19.00 1.3 $ 255,616 Exercised (4,799,446) 19.00 — — Expired — — — — Forfeited — — — — Balance as of September 30, 2023 370,773 $ 19.00 0.6 $ 31,097 Exercisable as of September 30, 2023 370,773 $ 19.00 0.6 $ 31,097 |

The Class B common stock and Class C common stock are non-economic and holders are not entitled to dividends from the Company or to receive any assets of the Company in the event of any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company. Ares Management GP LLC is the sole holder of the Class B common stock and Ares Voting LLC (“Ares Voting”) is the sole holder of the Class C common stock. In February 2023, the Company's board of directors authorized the renewal of the stock repurchase program that allows for the repurchase of up to $150 million of shares of Class A common stock. Under the program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, including in reliance on Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Act.

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
SEGMENT REPORTING | 13. SEGMENT REPORTING The Company operates through its distinct operating segments. On March 31, 2023, the Company executed the SSG Buyout. The Company rebranded Ares SSG as Ares Asia and the Ares SSG credit business, including the Asian special situations, Asian secured lending and APAC direct lending strategies, as Asia credit. Asia credit has been reclassified effective January 1, 2023 and is now presented within the Credit Group. In connection with this reclassification, the Company will no longer use Strategic Initiatives to describe all other operating segments, instead reporting the collective results as Other. The Company reclassified activities of Asia credit to the Credit Group to better align the segment presentation with the global asset classes and investment strategies. The Company has modified historical results to conform with its current presentation. The Company operating segments are summarized below: Credit Group: The Credit Group manages credit strategies across the liquid and illiquid spectrum, including liquid credit, alternative credit and direct lending. Our liquid credit investment solutions help traditional fixed income investors access the syndicated loan and high yield bond markets and capitalize on opportunities across multi-asset credit. The syndicated loans strategy focuses on evaluating individual credit opportunities related primarily to non-investment grade senior secured loans and primarily targets first lien secured debt, with a secondary focus on second lien secured loans and subordinated and other unsecured loans. The high yield bond strategy seeks to deliver a diversified portfolio of liquid, traded non-investment grade corporate bonds, including secured, unsecured and subordinated debt instruments. Multi-asset credit is a “go anywhere” strategy designed to offer investors a flexible solution to global credit investing by allowing us to tactically allocate between multiple asset classes in various market conditions. The alternative credit strategy seeks to capitalize on asset-focused investment opportunities that fall outside of traditional, well-defined markets such as corporate debt, real estate and private equity. The alternative credit strategy emphasizes downside protection and capital preservation through a focus on investments that tend to share the following key attributes: asset security, covenants, structural protections and cash flow velocity. The direct lending strategy is one of the largest self-originating direct lenders, lending in the U.S., European and Asia-Pacific markets with a multi-channel origination strategy designed to address a broad set of investment opportunities in the middle market. The direct lending team maintains a flexible investment strategy with the capability to invest in first lien senior secured loans (including unitranche loans which are loans that combine senior and subordinated debt, generally in a first lien position), second lien senior secured loans, subordinated debt, preferred equity and non-control equity co-investments in private middle market companies. U.S. direct lending activities are managed through a publicly-traded business development company (“BDC”), Ares Capital Corporation (“ARCC”), our non-traded BDC, Ares Strategic Income Fund (“ASIF”), as well as through private commingled funds and separately managed accounts (“SMAs”). Our Asia credit platform provides flexible, value-add capital solutions to complex situations through our local origination presence and experience. Private Equity Group: The Private Equity Group broadly categorizes its investment strategies as corporate private equity and special opportunities. In the corporate private equity strategy, the Company targets four principal transactions types: (i) prudently leveraged control buyouts; (ii) growth equity; (iii) rescue capital and (iv) distressed-for-control. This differentiated strategy, together with the broad resources of the Ares platform, widens our universe of potential investment opportunities and allows us to remain active across various market environments and to be highly selective in making investments by identifying the most attractive relative value opportunities. In the special opportunities strategy, the Company employs a flexible capital strategy to finance debt and non-control equity solutions in middle market companies undergoing transformational change or stress. The strategy seeks to consistently invest in a range of private, special-situation opportunities and flex into distressed public market debt when attractive. Real Assets Group: The Real Assets Group manages comprehensive equity and debt strategies across real estate and infrastructure investments. The real estate strategy focuses on activities categorized as core/core-plus, value-add, opportunistic and debt. Real estate equity strategies involve high-quality properties and locations and de-risked developments with an opportunity to create value through repositioning, lease-up, re-tenanting, redevelopment, and/or complex recapitalizations. The U.S. core/core-plus investment activities focuses on the acquisition of assets with strong long-term cash flow potential and durable tenancy diversified across end-user industries and geographies. The value-add investment activities focus on acquiring underperforming, income-producing, institutional-quality assets that can be improved through select value-creation initiatives across the U.S. and Europe. The opportunistic activities focus on capitalizing on distressed and special situations, repositioning underperforming assets and undertaking select development and redevelopment projects across the U.S. and Europe. The real estate debt strategy primarily focuses on directly originating a wide range of financing opportunities in the U.S. and Europe leveraging the Real Asset Group’s diverse sources of capital. In addition to managing private commingled funds and SMAs investing in equity and debt strategies, the real estate strategy also makes investments through Ares Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (“AREIT”) and Ares Industrial Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (“AIREIT”), its non-traded REITs, and ACRE, a publicly traded commercial mortgage REIT. The infrastructure strategy focuses on investment strategies broadly categorized as infrastructure opportunities and infrastructure debt. Infrastructure opportunities is a market leader in infrastructure and power investing with a focus on climate infrastructure, natural gas generation and energy transportation sectors. The infrastructure opportunities strategy targets essential infrastructure assets and companies with stable cash flow profiles through long-term contracts and high-barriers to entry. The infrastructure debt strategy targets global assets and businesses with defensive characteristics across the digital, transport, energy and utility sectors. Leveraging the established long standing relationships, the strategy seeks to generate exclusive deal flow and high-quality investment opportunities. Secondaries Group: The Secondaries Group invests in secondary markets across a range of alternative asset class strategies, including private equity, real estate, infrastructure and credit. The Company acquires interests across a range of partnership vehicles, including funds, multi-asset portfolios and single asset joint ventures. Activities within each strategy include recapitalizing and restructuring the funds, including transactions that can address pending fund maturity, strategy change or the need for additional equity capital. The private equity secondaries strategy seeks to achieve attractive secondary cash flow and diversification characteristics by investing across the spectrum of private equity secondaries transactions, including through Ares Private Markets Fund (“APMF”), a closed-end interval fund. In the real estate secondaries strategy, the Company seeks broad diversification by property sector and geography and to drive investment results through underwriting, transaction structuring and portfolio construction. In the infrastructure secondaries strategy, the Company focuses on achieving diversification through a portfolio that provides inflation protection and exposure to uncorrelated assets. The credit secondaries strategy seeks to create a highly diversified portfolio of primarily senior secured private credit interests across North America and Europe, acquired directly or indirectly through secondary market transactions. Other: Other represents a compilation of operating segments and strategic investments that seek to expand the Company’s reach and its scale in new and existing global markets but individually do not meet reporting thresholds. These results include activities from: (i) Ares Insurance Solutions (“AIS”), the Company’s insurance platform that provides solutions to insurance clients including asset management, capital solutions and corporate development and (ii) the SPACs sponsored by the Company, among others. The OMG consists of shared resource groups to support the Company’s operating segments by providing infrastructure and administrative support in the areas of accounting/finance, operations, information technology, legal, compliance, human resources, strategy, relationship management and distribution. The OMG includes Ares Wealth Management Solutions, LLC (“AWMS”) that facilitates the product development, distribution, marketing and client management activities for investment offerings in the global wealth management channel. Additionally, the OMG provides services to certain of the Company’s managed funds and vehicles, which reimburse the OMG for expenses equal to the costs of services provided. The OMG’s revenues and expenses are not allocated to the Company’s operating segments but the Company does consider the financial results of the OMG when evaluating its financial performance. Segment Profit Measures: These measures supplement and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. Fee related earnings (“FRE”) is used to assess core operating performance by determining whether recurring revenue, primarily consisting of management fees and fee related performance revenues, is sufficient to cover operating expenses and to generate profits. FRE differs from income before taxes computed in accordance with GAAP as it excludes net performance income, investment income from our funds and adjusts for certain other items that the Company believes are not indicative of its core operating performance. Fee related performance revenues, together with fee related performance compensation, is presented within FRE because it represents incentive fees from perpetual capital vehicles that is measured and received on a recurring basis and not dependent on realization events from the underlying investments. Realized income (“RI”) is an operating metric used by management to evaluate performance of the business based on operating performance and the contribution of each of the business segments to that performance, while removing the fluctuations of unrealized income and expenses, which may or may not be eventually realized at the levels presented and whose realizations depend more on future outcomes than current business operations. RI differs from income before taxes by excluding: (i) operating results of the Consolidated Funds; (ii) depreciation and amortization expense; (iii) the effects of changes arising from corporate actions; (iv) unrealized gains and losses related to carried interest, incentive fees and investment performance; and adjusting for certain other items that the Company believes are not indicative of operating performance. Changes arising from corporate actions include equity-based compensation expenses, the amortization of intangible assets, transaction costs associated with mergers, acquisitions and capital activities, underwriting costs and expenses incurred in connection with corporate reorganization. Placement fee adjustment represents the net portion of either expense deferral or amortization that is required to match the timing of expense recognition with the period over which management fees are expected to be earned from the associated fund for segment purposes but have been expensed up front in accordance with GAAP. For periods in which the amortization of placement fees for segment purposes is higher than the GAAP expense, the placement fee adjustment is presented as a reduction to RI. Management believes RI is a more appropriate metric to evaluate the Company’s current business operations. Management makes operating decisions and assesses the performance of each of the Company’s business segments based on financial and operating metrics and other data that is presented before giving effect to the consolidation of any of the Consolidated Funds. Consequently, all segment data excludes the assets, liabilities and operating results related to the Consolidated Funds and non-consolidated funds. Total assets by segments is not disclosed because such information is not used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker in evaluating the segments.

CONSOLIDATION | 14. CONSOLIDATION Deconsolidated Funds Certain funds that have historically been consolidated in the financial statements that are no longer consolidated because, as of the reporting period: (a) such funds have been liquidated or dissolved; or (b) the Company is no longer deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIEs as it no longer has a significant economic interest. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, one private fund experienced a significant change in ownership that resulted in deconsolidation of the entity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company did not deconsolidate any entity. Investments in Consolidated Variable Interest Entities The Company consolidates entities in which the Company has a variable interest and as the general partner or investment manager, has both the power to direct the most significant activities and a potentially significant economic interest. Investments in the consolidated VIEs are reported at fair value and represent the Company’s maximum exposure to loss. Investments in Non-Consolidated Variable Interest Entities The Company holds interests in certain VIEs that are not consolidated as the Company is not the primary beneficiary. The Company’s interest in such entities generally is in the form of direct equity interests, fixed fee arrangements or both. The maximum exposure to loss represents the potential loss of assets by the Company relating to these non-consolidated entities. Investments in the non-consolidated VIEs are carried at fair value. The Company’s interests in consolidated and non-consolidated VIEs, as presented within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, its respective maximum exposure to loss relating to non-consolidated VIEs, and its net income attributable to non-controlling interests related to consolidated VIEs, as presented within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, are as follows: As of September 30, As of December 31, 2023 2022 Maximum exposure to loss attributable to the Company’s investment in non-consolidated VIEs (1) $ 411,251 $ 393,549 Maximum exposure to loss attributable to the Company’s investment in consolidated VIEs (1) 808,386 537,239 Assets of consolidated VIEs 14,352,887 13,128,088 Liabilities of consolidated VIEs 12,487,780 11,593,867 (1) As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s maximum exposure of loss for CLO securities was equal to the cumulative fair value of our capital interest in CLOs and totaled $77.4 million and $82.0 million, respectively. Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Net income attributable to non-controlling interests related to consolidated VIEs $ 66,526 $ 8,733 $ 165,118 $

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including these notes, are unaudited and exclude some of the disclosures required in annual financial statements. Management believes it has made all necessary adjustments so that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and that estimates made in preparing its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent, and that all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts and activities of the AOG entities, their consolidated subsidiaries and certain Consolidated Funds. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Non-Controlling Interests in Ares Operating Group Entities The non-controlling interests in AOG entities represent a component of equity and net income attributable to the owners of the Ares Operating Group Units (“AOG Units”) that are not held directly or indirectly by the Company. These owners consist predominantly of Ares Owners Holdings L.P. but also include other strategic distribution partnerships with whom the Company has established joint ventures and other non-controlling strategic investors. Non-controlling interests in AOG entities are adjusted for contributions to and distributions from AOG during the reporting period and are allocated income |
Reclassifications | The Company has reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the current year presentation. |
Redeemable Interest | Redeemable Interest On July 1, 2020, the Company completed its acquisition of a majority interest in SSG Capital Holdings Limited and its operating subsidiaries (“SSG” and subsequently rebranded as “Ares SSG”) (the “SSG Acquisition”). In connection with the SSG Acquisition, the former owners of SSG retained a 20% ownership interest in the operations acquired by the Company. In certain circumstances, the Company had the ability to acquire full ownership of SSG pursuant to a contractual arrangement to be initiated by the Company or by the former owners of SSG. Since the acquisition of the remaining interest in SSG was not within the Company's sole discretion, the ownership interest held by the former owners of SSG was classified as a redeemable interest and represented mezzanine equity. Redeemable interest in AOG entities was initially recorded at fair value on the date of the SSG Acquisition within mezzanine equity within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Income (loss) was allocated based on the ownership percentage attributable to the redeemable interest. As of the date of acquisition, the Company determined that the redemption of the redeemable interest was probable. At each balance sheet date, the carrying value of the redeemable interest is presented at the redemption amount, as defined in accordance with the terms of a contractual arrangement between the Company and the former owners of SSG, to the extent that the redemption amount exceeded the initial measurement on the date of acquisition. The Company recognizes changes in the redemption amount with corresponding adjustments against retained earnings, or additional paid-in-capital in the absence of retained earnings, within stockholders’ equity within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. In connection with a merger agreement to acquire the remaining 20% ownership interest in the Ares SSG fee-generating business that was retained by the former owners of SSG (the “SSG Buyout”), a portion of the redeemable interest in AOG entities was purchased on March 31, 2023 and the Company now owns 100% of Ares SSG’s fee-generating business. The SSG Buyout was effectuated through newly issued shares of Class A common stock. The remaining redeemable interest in AOG entities represents ownership in certain investments that were not included in the SSG Buyout and continues to be presented at the redemption amount within mezzanine equity within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standard updates (“ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). ASUs were assessed and determined either to be not applicable or expected to have an immaterial impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. |
Segment Reporting | The Company operates through its distinct operating segments. On March 31, 2023, the Company executed the SSG Buyout. The Company rebranded Ares SSG as Ares Asia and the Ares SSG credit business, including the Asian special situations, Asian secured lending and APAC direct lending strategies, as Asia credit. Asia credit has been reclassified effective January 1, 2023 and is now presented within the Credit Group. In connection with this reclassification, the Company will no longer use Strategic Initiatives to describe all other operating segments, instead reporting the collective results as Other. The Company reclassified activities of Asia credit to the Credit Group to better align the segment presentation with the global asset classes and investment strategies. The Company has modified historical results to conform with its current presentation. The Company operating segments are summarized below: Credit Group: The Credit Group manages credit strategies across the liquid and illiquid spectrum, including liquid credit, alternative credit and direct lending. Our liquid credit investment solutions help traditional fixed income investors access the syndicated loan and high yield bond markets and capitalize on opportunities across multi-asset credit. The syndicated loans strategy focuses on evaluating individual credit opportunities related primarily to non-investment grade senior secured loans and primarily targets first lien secured debt, with a secondary focus on second lien secured loans and subordinated and other unsecured loans. The high yield bond strategy seeks to deliver a diversified portfolio of liquid, traded non-investment grade corporate bonds, including secured, unsecured and subordinated debt instruments. Multi-asset credit is a “go anywhere” strategy designed to offer investors a flexible solution to global credit investing by allowing us to tactically allocate between multiple asset classes in various market conditions. The alternative credit strategy seeks to capitalize on asset-focused investment opportunities that fall outside of traditional, well-defined markets such as corporate debt, real estate and private equity. The alternative credit strategy emphasizes downside protection and capital preservation through a focus on investments that tend to share the following key attributes: asset security, covenants, structural protections and cash flow velocity. The direct lending strategy is one of the largest self-originating direct lenders, lending in the U.S., European and Asia-Pacific markets with a multi-channel origination strategy designed to address a broad set of investment opportunities in the middle market. The direct lending team maintains a flexible investment strategy with the capability to invest in first lien senior secured loans (including unitranche loans which are loans that combine senior and subordinated debt, generally in a first lien position), second lien senior secured loans, subordinated debt, preferred equity and non-control equity co-investments in private middle market companies. U.S. direct lending activities are managed through a publicly-traded business development company (“BDC”), Ares Capital Corporation (“ARCC”), our non-traded BDC, Ares Strategic Income Fund (“ASIF”), as well as through private commingled funds and separately managed accounts (“SMAs”). Our Asia credit platform provides flexible, value-add capital solutions to complex situations through our local origination presence and experience. Private Equity Group: The Private Equity Group broadly categorizes its investment strategies as corporate private equity and special opportunities. In the corporate private equity strategy, the Company targets four principal transactions types: (i) prudently leveraged control buyouts; (ii) growth equity; (iii) rescue capital and (iv) distressed-for-control. This differentiated strategy, together with the broad resources of the Ares platform, widens our universe of potential investment opportunities and allows us to remain active across various market environments and to be highly selective in making investments by identifying the most attractive relative value opportunities. In the special opportunities strategy, the Company employs a flexible capital strategy to finance debt and non-control equity solutions in middle market companies undergoing transformational change or stress. The strategy seeks to consistently invest in a range of private, special-situation opportunities and flex into distressed public market debt when attractive. Real Assets Group: The Real Assets Group manages comprehensive equity and debt strategies across real estate and infrastructure investments. The real estate strategy focuses on activities categorized as core/core-plus, value-add, opportunistic and debt. Real estate equity strategies involve high-quality properties and locations and de-risked developments with an opportunity to create value through repositioning, lease-up, re-tenanting, redevelopment, and/or complex recapitalizations. The U.S. core/core-plus investment activities focuses on the acquisition of assets with strong long-term cash flow potential and durable tenancy diversified across end-user industries and geographies. The value-add investment activities focus on acquiring underperforming, income-producing, institutional-quality assets that can be improved through select value-creation initiatives across the U.S. and Europe. The opportunistic activities focus on capitalizing on distressed and special situations, repositioning underperforming assets and undertaking select development and redevelopment projects across the U.S. and Europe. The real estate debt strategy primarily focuses on directly originating a wide range of financing opportunities in the U.S. and Europe leveraging the Real Asset Group’s diverse sources of capital. In addition to managing private commingled funds and SMAs investing in equity and debt strategies, the real estate strategy also makes investments through Ares Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (“AREIT”) and Ares Industrial Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (“AIREIT”), its non-traded REITs, and ACRE, a publicly traded commercial mortgage REIT. The infrastructure strategy focuses on investment strategies broadly categorized as infrastructure opportunities and infrastructure debt. Infrastructure opportunities is a market leader in infrastructure and power investing with a focus on climate infrastructure, natural gas generation and energy transportation sectors. The infrastructure opportunities strategy targets essential infrastructure assets and companies with stable cash flow profiles through long-term contracts and high-barriers to entry. The infrastructure debt strategy targets global assets and businesses with defensive characteristics across the digital, transport, energy and utility sectors. Leveraging the established long standing relationships, the strategy seeks to generate exclusive deal flow and high-quality investment opportunities. Secondaries Group: The Secondaries Group invests in secondary markets across a range of alternative asset class strategies, including private equity, real estate, infrastructure and credit. The Company acquires interests across a range of partnership vehicles, including funds, multi-asset portfolios and single asset joint ventures. Activities within each strategy include recapitalizing and restructuring the funds, including transactions that can address pending fund maturity, strategy change or the need for additional equity capital. The private equity secondaries strategy seeks to achieve attractive secondary cash flow and diversification characteristics by investing across the spectrum of private equity secondaries transactions, including through Ares Private Markets Fund (“APMF”), a closed-end interval fund. In the real estate secondaries strategy, the Company seeks broad diversification by property sector and geography and to drive investment results through underwriting, transaction structuring and portfolio construction. In the infrastructure secondaries strategy, the Company focuses on achieving diversification through a portfolio that provides inflation protection and exposure to uncorrelated assets. The credit secondaries strategy seeks to create a highly diversified portfolio of primarily senior secured private credit interests across North America and Europe, acquired directly or indirectly through secondary market transactions. Other: Other represents a compilation of operating segments and strategic investments that seek to expand the Company’s reach and its scale in new and existing global markets but individually do not meet reporting thresholds. These results include activities from: (i) Ares Insurance Solutions (“AIS”), the Company’s insurance platform that provides solutions to insurance clients including asset management, capital solutions and corporate development and (ii) the SPACs sponsored by the Company, among others. The OMG consists of shared resource groups to support the Company’s operating segments by providing infrastructure and administrative support in the areas of accounting/finance, operations, information technology, legal, compliance, human resources, strategy, relationship management and distribution. The OMG includes Ares Wealth Management Solutions, LLC (“AWMS”) that facilitates the product development, distribution, marketing and client management activities for investment offerings in the global wealth management channel. Additionally, the OMG provides services to certain of the Company’s managed funds and vehicles, which reimburse the OMG for expenses equal to the costs of services provided. The OMG’s revenues and expenses are not allocated to the Company’s operating segments but the Company does consider the financial results of the OMG when evaluating its financial performance. Segment Profit Measures: These measures supplement and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. Fee related earnings (“FRE”) is used to assess core operating performance by determining whether recurring revenue, primarily consisting of management fees and fee related performance revenues, is sufficient to cover operating expenses and to generate profits. FRE differs from income before taxes computed in accordance with GAAP as it excludes net performance income, investment income from our funds and adjusts for certain other items that the Company believes are not indicative of its core operating performance. Fee related performance revenues, together with fee related performance compensation, is presented within FRE because it represents incentive fees from perpetual capital vehicles that is measured and received on a recurring basis and not dependent on realization events from the underlying investments. Realized income (“RI”) is an operating metric used by management to evaluate performance of the business based on operating performance and the contribution of each of the business segments to that performance, while removing the fluctuations of unrealized income and expenses, which may or may not be eventually realized at the levels presented and whose realizations depend more on future outcomes than current business operations. RI differs from income before taxes by excluding: (i) operating results of the Consolidated Funds; (ii) depreciation and amortization expense; (iii) the effects of changes arising from corporate actions; (iv) unrealized gains and losses related to carried interest, incentive fees and investment performance; and adjusting for certain other items that the Company believes are not indicative of operating performance. Changes arising from corporate actions include equity-based compensation expenses, the amortization of intangible assets, transaction costs associated with mergers, acquisitions and capital activities, underwriting costs and expenses incurred in connection with corporate reorganization. Placement fee adjustment represents the net portion of either expense deferral or amortization that is required to match the timing of expense recognition with the period over which management fees are expected to be earned from the associated fund for segment purposes but have been expensed up front in accordance with GAAP. For periods in which the amortization of placement fees for segment purposes is higher than the GAAP expense, the placement fee adjustment is presented as a reduction to RI. Management believes RI is a more appropriate metric to evaluate the Company’s current business operations. |
