Ares Management reported October 29 that it raised more than $31 billion in gross capital commitments during the third quarter and invested $35 billion across its strategies.
More than half of the inflows came from outside its Credit Group, Chief Executive Michael Arougheti said in the results announcement.
Net income attributable to Ares was $85.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, or 21 cents per Class A and nonvoting common share on both a basic and diluted basis.
The company separately reported after-tax realized income of $449.6 million, or $1.26 per Class A share, and fee-related earnings of $524.2 million. Those measures are distinct from its reported net income.
Ares said it managed approximately $691 billion at September-end. Management expects another record fundraising year, but that remains an outlook rather than a completed annual result.
The board declared a $1.35 common dividend payable December 31 to shareholders recorded December 17. A dividend reinvestment program for Class A holders is scheduled to take effect with that payment.
The company directed investors to a separate detailed quarterly presentation for additional results.
