AI Summary
Q3 2025

Outstanding Quarter: Ares delivered record third-quarter results with strong growth across management fees, fee-related earnings, and realized income, driven by robust performance in nearly every major investment strategy.

Record Fundraising: The firm raised more than $30 billion in new capital in the quarter, its highest ever, and now expects to significantly exceed last year's $93 billion fundraising record.

Strong Deployment: Gross deployment hit $41 billion, up 55% from the prior quarter and 30% above the previous high, with broad-based activity across strategies and geographies.

Dividend Growth: Quarterly dividend increased by 20% year-over-year to $1.12 per share, with management anticipating further increases next year.

Margin Outlook: Fee-related earnings grew 39% year-over-year and margins improved slightly; management expects margin expansion, especially in 2026 as GCP integration continues.

Credit Performance: Credit portfolios remain healthy, with low loss rates and conservative loan-to-value ratios; management sees recent bankruptcy headlines as isolated, not a sign of systemic risk.

Wealth Channel Strength: Wealth fundraising set a new quarterly record, with strong international demand and increasing market share, prompting a raised 2028 AUM target for semi-liquid wealth products from $100 billion to $125 billion.

Infrastructure Momentum: Infrastructure funds saw significant closes and high investor demand, including a $3.3 billion infrastructure secondaries fund and major data center investments.

Positive Market Outlook: Management is optimistic about increased transaction activity, improving real estate markets, and believes Ares is well positioned for growth even if the credit cycle turns.
