Form 10-K Summary 148 Signatures 149 2 Table of Contents Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events, operations and financial performance. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking words such as “outlook,” “believes,” “expects,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “predicts,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates” or the negative version of those words, other comparable words or other statements that do not relate to historical or factual matters. The forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future performance, taking into account all information currently available to us. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties and assumptions relating to our operations, financial results, financial condition, business prospects, growth strategy and liquidity. Some of these factors are described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, under the headings “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “ Item 1A. Risk Factors”. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors and other cautionary statements that are included in this report and in our other periodic filings. If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those indicated in these forward-looking statements. New risks and uncertainties arise over time, and it is not possible for us to predict those events or how they may affect us. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law. References in this Annual Report on Form 10-K to the “Ares Operating Group” refer to, collectively, Ares Holdings L.P. (“Ares Holdings”), Ares Offshore Holdings L.P. (“Ares Offshore”) and Ares Investments L.P. (“Ares Investments”). References in this Annual Report on Form 10-K to an “Ares Operating Group Unit” or an “AOG Unit” refer to, collectively, a partnership unit in each of the Ares Operating Group entities. The use of any defined term in this report to mean more than one entities, persons, securities or other items collectively is solely for convenience of reference and in no way implies that such entities, persons, securities or other items are one indistinguishable group. For example, notwithstanding the use of the defined terms “Ares,” “we” and “our” in this report to refer to Ares Management Corporation and its subsidiaries, each subsidiary of Ares Management Corporation is a standalone legal entity that is separate and distinct from Ares Management Corporation and any of its other subsidiaries. Under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we are required to consolidate (a) entities other than limited partnerships and entities similar to limited partnerships in which we hold a majority voting interest or have majority ownership and control over the operational, financial and investing decisions of that entity, including Ares-affiliates and affiliated funds and co-investment entities, for which we are presumed to have controlling financial interests, and (b) entities that we concluded are variable interest entities (“VIEs”), including limited partnerships and collateralized loan obligations, for which we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary. When an entity is consolidated, we reflect the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of the entity in our consolidated financial statements on a gross basis, subject to eliminations from consolidation, including the elimination of the management fees, performance income and other fees that we earn from the entity. However, the presentation of performance related compensation and other expenses associated with generating such revenues is not affected by the consolidation process. In addition, as a result of the consolidation process, the net income attributable to third-party investors in consolidated entities is presented as net income attributable to non-controlling interests in Consolidated Funds in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

  • Private Markets Fees Primer WHITEPAPER OCTOBER 2019
    Private Markets Fees Primer WHITEPAPER OCTOBER 2019 This primer describes the most common fee and profit sharing arrangements CONTRIBUTORS associated with private market investments. It attempts to answer common Blaze Cass Andrew Gilboard questions when considering an investment across the range of private market John Haggerty, CFA asset classes, including private equity, private debt, infrastructure, real estate, and natural resources. Most private market vehicles have the following fee and profit sharing components: I. Management fees II. Carried interest: → Preferred return → Catch-up provision → Carried interest rate The above terms will be explored throughout this primer, including definitions, common structures, and their expected impact on net returns to the Limited Partner (“Investor”). Finally, this primer will examine industry trends by investment strategy, as well as how the structuring of fees and profit sharing arrangements impacts the alignment between Investors and the General Partner (“Manager”). While there are a variety of fee and profit sharing structures found across the private markets universe, for the purposes of this primer we focus on one of the most common, the so-called “2/8/20” model that prevails for closed-end vehicles (“Funds”) executing a private equity buyout strategy. Note that, in the Appendix, common variations from this structure—seen with other strategies—are outlined. What is a management fee? A management fee is a fee paid in regular intervals (typically quarterly, semi-annually, or annually) to the Manager in order to compensate them for managing the Fund. The management fee is generally used by the Manager to cover the overhead costs associated with executing the Fund’s strategy, such as, but not limited to, salaries and benefits, office rent, and day-to-day administrative costs incurred by the Manager.

    INVESTCORP MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY During its fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 (FY09), Investcorp has witnessed what has been, arguably,the worst period of sustained stress to world economies and financial markets in living memory.The environment has had a severe impact on Investcorp across both its client and its investment businesses, and it has been the most challenging year for Investcorp since its formation in 1982. The management team has focused on dealing with these challenges head on. It has maintained an active and open dialog with clients throughout the year and has protected the balance sheet by raising capital, reducing investment risk and mitigating re-financing risk by holding high levels of cash liquidity while de-leveraging the balance sheet at the same time. The successful completion of a preference share issue in excess of $500 million, more than double the stated minimum target, in such a difficult environment is clear evidence of confidence in Investcorp’s business model and management team. Although the length and depth of the global recession is still uncertain, management believes that the firm action taken during the fiscal year will enable Investcorp to move forward and focus on the attractive business opportunities that now present themselves. BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT The sub-prime housing crisis that started in the United States in 2007 developed in late calendar year 2008 into a major systemic financial crisis, sending economic activity in the developed world into a synchronized downward spiral.This has led the IMF to make continual downward revisions to its estimate for global growth in calendar years 2009 and 2010.

  • SR175 Qtr1 2019 -- Final V2js.Xlsx
    Response to Senate Resolution No.175 (2005 Regular Session) For the Period January 1 to March 31, 2019 Pursuant to SR 175 of the 2005 Regular Louisiana Legislative Session, each retirement system is to provide a quarterly report of their investments commencing with the quarter beginning July 1, 2005. The following is the quarterly report for LASERS portfolio for the period January 1 to March 31, 2019. The report provides a listing of LASERS investments by asset class, amount of funds invested and with whom, annual returns on the investments and the management fees. While market returns provide a snapshot view of investment performance, readers should keep in mind that actuarial returns, which are smoothed over five years to offset market volatility, are a better indicator of the system’s ability to consistently achieve the assumed annual actuarial return of 7.65%. The Board adopted a plan to reduce the discount rate to 7.5% in 0.05% increments beginning July 1, 2017. Therefore, in addition to the data presented in the quarterly SR 175 - Senate Resolution No. 175 Report, the following information is given to further illustrate the System's status. As of June 30, 2018, LASERS 30-year actuarial return was 7.95%. 1st Quarter 2019 Net Asset Value Management Fees Manager $ (Millions) Annual Return Annual Basis Points Quarterly Dollar Amount U.S. EQUITY LARGE CAP VALUE Aronson Johnson & Ortiz 1 230.1 1.9 3.0 - SMALL CAP GROWTH Rice Hall James 1 206.2 -0.7 0.0 - SMALL CAP VALUE LSV Asset Management 201.1 -5.1 55.8 312,771 INDEX FUNDS LASERS S&P 400 Index Fund 464.2 2.6 n/a - LASERS S&P 500 Index Fund 1269.8 9.5 n/a - LASERS S&P 600 Index Fund 280.3 1.6 n/a - NON-U.S.
