Ares Nearing $750B AUM Goal With BlueCove Deal and Fundraising
Ares Management reported AUM of $671.3 billion as of June 30, 2026, about 89.5% of its $750 billion target set for 2028. Strong fundraising is expected to expand its fee-paying asset base, supported by its acquisition of BlueCove in February 2026, which added roughly $5.5 billion in AUM and broadened systematic fixed-income capabilities.
