  • ICYMI: We are excited to expand our partnership with iCapital as they launch their new iCapital Growth Model Portfolio, leveraging the Ares platform. In our view, private equity investments can play an increasingly important role in individual investors’ portfolios, and as demand continues to grow we believe that asset allocation models, such as iCapital Growth Model, should be able to help advisors more easily navigate the private markets and build well-designed portfolios for their clients. Congratulations to the iCapital team and we look forward to this next step! Learn more about this new offering in the full press release: https://lnkd.in/gE7TpG_T

    E-commerce is projected to reach ~35% of total retail sales in the next decade. Why is this important?  There is no question that e-commerce represents a significant part of the retail economy, as evidenced by U.S. online sales hitting a record $10.8 billion on Black Friday, marking a 10.2% increase from the previous year. In my latest FAST Take, I share how this shift is creating durable, long-term tailwinds for the industrial real estate market. More in the full blog post below.  

  • Raj Dhanda, Global Head of Wealth Management, recently moderated a fireside chat at the Private Wealth Management Associate Summit in Hong Kong—a leading industry conference for investment professionals in the APAC region. More on the key themes from his session below.

    During my recent trip to Hong Kong, I had the pleasure of joining a fireside chat with Iqbal Khan, President of UBS Asia Pacific and Co-President of UBS Global Wealth Management, at the Private Wealth Management Association Summit 2024. I moderated the session on navigating the new norms and patterns of bank lending, trends in global wealth management through an evolving landscape and the growth and opportunity for private markets within the APAC region. I enjoyed discussing these meaningful areas, the importance of a strategic asset allocation and more, and it was great to connect with so many leading industry professionals in the region.

    Sports Business Journal (SBJ) has named Ares’ Co-Heads of Sports, Media and Entertainment, Mark Affolter, Jim Miller and Kort Schnabel to its list of Most Influential People in Sports Business for 2024. The recognition comes alongside SBJ’s acknowledgment that private equity investors as a whole were most influential this year given the significant influx of institutional capital that has made its way into sports. Ares recently became one of a handful of firms eligible to make private equity investments in the NFL and earlier this month announced the acquisition of a minority stake in the Miami Dolphins and Hard Rock Stadium. Congratulations to Mark, Jim and Kort on this recognition! More here: https://lnkd.in/exBSM-cy
