“Yeah, look, we're seeing continued fundamental strength in pretty much everything that we own. If you were to look at the middle market corporate portfolios, which I think is a pretty good representation of the real economy, as we reported last quarter, EBITDA growth year over year for that portfolio was about 9%.”

“MIKE MCCURRY- Thank you, Greg, and good morning, everyone. I hope you're all doing well. Our strong second quarter results highlight the growing diversity and durability of our global platform.”

“Yeah, look, we were just saying over there, it feels like a year's worth of news and market developments in five months. But frankly, not much has changed. And for those that we've spent time with, I think you've heard us just talk about conviction around hire for longer.”

“In the first quarter, we continue to generate strong financial results and significant growth across our key financial metrics, and we're excited and confident about the opportunities ahead for our business.”

“Ares generated another outstanding quarter of financial results, reflecting the broad-based strength of our investment platform, our leadership in many of the fastest-growing private market segments, and the continued strong fund performance that we're providing to our investors.”
