Ares Management 8-K

Filing excerpt

This preliminary expected amount is below the Company’s previously communicated expectation of approximately $100 million in realized net performance income for the quarter ending March 31, 2026, primarily due to the expected timing of realized net performance income generated by certain European-style funds, which is now expected to be realized in future quarters during the full year ending December 31, 2026.
