Ares Management (NYSE:ARES) sees three major themes shaping the next phase of alternative investing: growing institutional demand for private credit, a rapidly expanding market for private equity secondaries, and artificial intelligence becoming a competitive advantage across investing and operations.
The comments came during the firm’s second-quarter earnings call, where Ares reported record fundraising and said it is seeing improving deployment opportunities across credit, infrastructure and secondaries while increasingly using AI to improve investment decisions and operating efficiency.
