Fee Structure
Ares Management's clients are generally "qualified purchasers" and the advisory fees and performance compensation are not required to be disclosed. Ares typically earns an advisory fee as compensation for investment advisory services, which differs between clients and is established in each client's governing documents. The advisory fees may vary among underlying investors and may be negotiable. Strategic partners may pay lower fees than other underlying investors. Personnel, certain business associates, and "friends and family" of Ares generally will not pay an advisory fee or performance-based compensation with respect to their direct or indirect investments in each client.
