Address, industry classification, listing and incorporation come from Ares Management Corporation's own SEC filer record, so the industry is the SEC's dry classification rather than a marketing label. The headcount is the figure the sources below state for 2025. The description was written for this site in August 2026 from Ares Management Corporation Form 10-K for fiscal year 2025 and Ares Management on Wikipedia, not taken from any single article.

Description
Ares Management Corporation is an alternative asset manager that raises capital from institutions and wealth channels and invests it through four investment groups: Credit, which held $406.9 billion of assets under management at 31 December 2025, Real Assets (real estate and infrastructure, $139.1 billion), Secondaries ($42.1 billion) and Private Equity ($25.3 billion). It makes money on management fees charged on that capital plus carried interest and incentive fees earned when funds clear their return hurdles: of $5.60 billion of total revenue in 2025, management fees were $3.68 billion, carried interest allocation $1.15 billion and incentive fees $362 million. Founded in 1997 and listed on the New York Stock Exchange since 2014, Ares reported $622.5 billion of assets under management, more than 4,250 employees and over 55 offices at the end of 2025. On 1 March 2025 it completed the purchase of GCP International, the business of GLP Capital Partners outside Greater China, adding logistics and digital infrastructure strategies to the Real Assets group.

The full register, from 13F filings
The Register tab above is hand research: a dozen holders, each traced to the filing it came from. This asks the same question of the whole market for the quarter ended 31-mar-2026, where 780 managers reported a position. Broad where the research is deep, and shallow in the ways a 13F always is.
780 managers reported a position, together holding 206.9m shares, or 92.4% of the company. The 40 largest are listed. Percentages are of a share count taken later than this quarter, because the count in force at the snapshot is not published as a structured fact for this company. Where the count has moved since, the figures are off by that much.
Built from 13F filings, which report US listed, long, US custodied positions only. A register from this source is a floor rather than a level: a holder's true position can be far larger, as BlackRock's ASML stake shows at 1.28m shares in a 13F against 26.3m in its 13G/A. Holdings held through derivatives, outside US custody, or below a manager's reporting obligation do not appear. Where a holder is marked as a family, its total sums several separate filing entities and describes something no single filing describes; the constituent entities and their share counts are listed so the total can be checked. That roll-up can legitimately exceed the family's own Schedule 13G, because a 13G is filed by one legal entity: Vanguard reports Alphabet through ten advisory entities, and The Vanguard Group Inc itself reported zero after its January 2026 disaggregation.
What a reader needs to know to read these numbers
- company.shares_outstanding (223,957,742) is Class A common stock (NYSE: ARES) only, as of 3 Aug 2026 (10-Q cover page). Every register row's `shares` field, where non-null, is also Class A common stock (CUSIP 03990B101), so all charted rows share one instrument and one denominator.
- Ares also has non-voting common stock (3,489,911 sh), Class B common stock (1,000 sh, sole holder Ares GP LLC), Class C common stock (102,828,576 sh as of 30 Jun 2026 per the 10-Q, 104,328,294 sh as of 13 Apr 2026 per the proxy, sole holder Ares Voting LLC) and Series B Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (30,000,000 sh, NYSE: ARES-PB, CUSIP 03990B309). Class B and Class C are voting-only, non-economic stock held by Ares GP LLC / Ares Voting LLC (both wholly owned by Ares Partners Holdco LLC) and are paired with Ares Operating Group (AOG) Units held by Ares Owners, L.P. (102,828,576 AOG Units, 31.14% direct ownership interest in the AOG, per the Q2 2026 10-Q). AOG Units are exchangeable into Class A common stock but are not Class A shares until exchanged. Any holder whose real interest is in AOG Units, Class B or Class C common stock, or the 6.75% Series B preferred is carried here with shares: null and the real quantity/instrument stated in method_note, per the project's one-instrument-one-basis rule.
- The project's own pre-existing register snapshot (data/registers/ARES.json, period 31-Mar-2026) summed CUSIP 03990B101 (Class A common) and CUSIP 03990B309 (6.75% Series B Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock) together into single holder totals without distinguishing them, so it listed Fosun International Ltd, a holder of Series B preferred ONLY, as the single largest holder at 35,720,000 shares, and the whole register read 101.4% of the Class A shares outstanding, which is impossible. That was reported and then fixed in ingest/registers.py on 19 Aug 2026: the CUSIP selection step now rejects a CUSIP whose filed titles are majority non-common, the snapshot no longer carries 03990B309, and it now reads 77.4% with Vanguard as its largest holder. Independently of that fix, this file's numbers were taken from the snapshot only as a NAME LIST; every register row above was re-derived from each holder's own Q2 2026 13F-HR information table, reading each CUSIP separately and keeping only 03990B101 (Class A).
- Vanguard case: parent Vanguard Group Inc (CIK 0000102909) filed Form 13F-NT (notice, no holdings) for Q2 2026, so the 8 successor entities' Class A holdings were summed to 26,903,850 shares (12.01%). All 8 CIKs and their individual Q2 2026 figures are listed in that row's method_note.
- Capital Group case: 4 registrant CIKs (Capital World Investors, Capital International Investors, Capital International Inc/CA, Capital International Sarl) all hold; swept and summed to 13,566,590 shares (6.06%), a family roll-up (is_aggregate not set, nothing rolls up into it).
- T. Rowe Price case: both T. Rowe Price Associates Inc and T. Rowe Price Investment Management, Inc were swept (2 CIKs); both report value_usd in thousands on the raw filing, corrected by x1000 here; the implied per-share price after correction (~$111.31) matches the implied price from every other holder's Q2 2026 filing, which is the sanity check that the thousands correction is right.
- Self-gate computed from this final file: 18 register rows; summed via the project's chart formula (aggregate containers reduced by their rolled-up members, everything else at full value), the countable rows total 121,665,609 shares against shares_outstanding of 223,957,742 = 54.32% of the company. This is high but plausible and sourced: Ares is heavily institutionally owned and additionally has a large disclosed strategic holder (SMBC, 13.36m shares, ~6%) on top of the usual index/active complex; no row mixes Class A with AOG Units, Class B, Class C or the Series B preferred (all of those are set to shares: null with the real instrument in method_note), so this total is not a mixed-instrument artifact.
- Holdings side: Ares Management LLC (CIK 0001259313, the SEC-registered adviser entity, distinct from the public holding company CIK 0001176948) files its own Q2 2026 13F-HR. It shows a proprietary/GP-account position of 2,783,165 shares of Ares Capital Corporation (ARCC, NASDAQ), the BDC that an Ares subsidiary manages, $51,572,047, plus a de minimis 59 shares ($745) of Ares Dynamic Credit Allocation Fund, Inc, omitted from `holdings` as immaterial. The 10-Q's 'Total equity method investments' balance ($4,869,140 thousand as of 30 Jun 2026, ~74.7% of it 'equity method - carried interest') is a combined figure covering many consolidated funds and is not broken out by investee in the filing text searched, so per the project rule against assigning a combined balance to one investee, no other holding is sized from it; the ARCC 13F position is the only sourced own-account listed-equity holding found.
- Today's date for this research task is 19 August 2026 (the research-brief.md file's own '16 August 2026' header is stale); Q2 2026 (period 2026-06-30) 13F-HR filings, all filed by 14 Aug 2026, were used throughout.
Looked for, not found
Recorded rather than filled in. Each of these is a place where a number could have been invented and was not.
- market_cap_usd / market_cap_as_of: not sourced in this session (no current ARES share price was fetched); shares_outstanding by class was sourced instead from the 10-Q cover page.
- Wellington family: only Wellington Management Group LLP (CIK 0000902219) was checked (9,526,077 Class A shares, Q2 2026). The project's Q1-2026 register snapshot showed a larger stale total (11,547,387, itself possibly CUSIP-mixed); whether additional Wellington-affiliated 13F filers (e.g. Wellington Management Company LLP) hold ARES separately was not checked.
- The DEF 14A footnotes for Bennett Rosenthal (footnote 21) and other named directors/NEOs beyond Ressler, Arougheti, deVeer and Kaplan were not fully read; their individual AOG Unit interests, if any, beyond the Class A figures shown in the beneficial ownership table are not captured here.
- Ares Management LLC's Q2 2026 13F-HR (CIK 0001259313) has 44 total information-table rows; only the two rows matching an 'ARES'-named issuer (ARCC and Ares Dynamic Credit Allocation Fund) were checked. Whether any of the other 42 rows represent additional Ares own-account equity stakes in other listed companies (versus fund/cash-equivalent positions) was not verified.
- No SC 13D/13G filings by Fosun International Ltd against Ares were checked; its 13F shows only the Series B preferred position, but whether Fosun also separately discloses a Class A common or convertible-into-Class-A intent in a 13D/G was not searched.
