Ares Management CEO Focuses on Private Equity Expansion
Ares Management is considering acquiring a large private equity firm to expand its leveraged buyout business and compete with industry giants, driven by the growing interest in private assets among US retirement plans. The company aims to manage at least $775 billion in assets within three years and is exploring strategic acquisitions to bolster its private equity segment, which currently represents a small portion of its assets. Despite no imminent deals, Ares is positioning itself for growth through potential acquisitions and strategic investments.
