Private Real Estate

Is now the time to lean into U.S. commercial real estate? What market trends are swaying investors? Jay Glaubach, Co-Head of U.S. Real Estate Investments at Ares, will share insights on where the private real estate market may be headed in 2023.

Private Credit

The lending markets are still meaningfully constrained and private credit as a solution for borrowers and investors is more relevant than ever. Join Mitch Goldstein, Co-Head of Credit at Ares, as he shares his views on current market dynamics in this sought after asset class and why we believe 2023 will be especially attractive for private credit.

Private Equity

A broad structural shift is occurring that is benefitting the growth of the private equity market. However, the next few years are expected to look very different for private equity investors, with the opportunity set shifting to lower leverage use, and more investments in stressed and distressed assets. Join Scott Graves, Co-Head of Private Equity at Ares, as he shares his views on the rapidly evolving private equity landscape and how advisors can both adapt and capitalize on the opportunities ahead.

Secondaries

With the number of publicly traded companies shrinking, the public markets are becoming more concentrated and more correlated. Private markets, however, enable investors to access a broad universe of quality, performing businesses and the ability to participate in the large swaths of the U.S. economy that public market indices miss. Secondary investments offer an attractive way for individual investors to access the private markets. Join Nate Walton, Head of Private Equity Secondaries at Ares, as he shares his views on the rapidly evolving secondaries landscape and how advisors can both adapt and capitalize on the opportunities ahead.

Infrastructure

While most advisors are familiar with private infrastructure as an asset class, many believe it is a niche domain and/or only accessible by large institutional investors. To the contrary, private infrastructure today is a mainstream asset class, roughly the same size as both the leveraged loan market and private credit asset class and an increasingly important part of individual investor portfolios.

Alternative Credit

Alternative Credit is a subset of private credit focused on investing in large and diversified portfolios of assets with contractual cash flows. Alternative Credit sources investment opportunities that fall outside of traditional, well-defined markets, with a differentiated approach to capture value through direct origination, credit arbitrage, and disruptions in traditional markets.

Sports, Media & Entertainment

Sports, media and entertainment represent a growing and uncorrelated investable market with attractive, long-term staying power. While COVID-19 catalyzed an entry point, we believe the opportunity to provide flexible, scalable capital to sports leagues and teams, sports-related companies, and media and entertainment businesses is compelling, expansive, and sustainable.

A 50% Private Markets Portfolio

History has shown that while you cannot control the inevitable changes in the market, you can control how you choose to adapt. Please join Brendan McCurdy and Carlin Calcaterra, Co-Heads of Ares’ Financial Advisor Solutions Team, as they discuss why and how investing up to 50% of a portfolio in private markets, utilizing a risk-based approach, can help to build more intentional and controlled outcomes for clients.
