Reported totals, quarter ended 2026-06-30
806 reporting managers held 219,791,689 shares, reported value $23,621,967,402 exactly as filed. Values are position values transcribed from the filings, not current market prices.
Reported quarter-over-quarter change (quarter ended 2026-03-31 to quarter ended 2026-06-30): reporting managers +16, reported shares +12,940,900 (+6.26%), reported value +6.57%. These changes compare two filing snapshots.
Shares outstanding check: 313,170,171 shares reported by the issuer (SEC XBRL, period ended 2024-12-31). Reported 13F shares equal 70.2% of that figure. This page passed the publication sanity gate before listing.
ARES in this quarter's filings
Concentration check: the largest reported position, BlackRock, Inc. with 16,882,527 shares, is 7.7% of all shares reported for ARES this quarter. The five largest reporting managers together account for 30.4% of the reported total, so the headline total is spread across a broad manager base rather than a few holders.
Reported quarter-over-quarter change: the reporting-manager count rose by 16 versus the quarter ended 2026-03-31, and reported shares moved +6.26% (+12,940,900 shares). That is a comparison of two filing snapshots, not a record of trades on any single day.
Shares-outstanding cross-check: reported 13F shares equal 70.2% of the issuer share count used at the publication gate (313,170,171 shares, issuer period ended 2024-12-31). The gate publishes a ticker only when that relationship is plausible; lending chains can push reported totals above a simple ownership share, which is why the figure is a sanity check and not an ownership percentage.

What this page is and is not
Form 13F reports are quarterly holdings snapshots. Managers file up to about 45 days after quarter-end, so these figures describe reported positions as of the quarter-end date, not holdings today. 13F lists reportable long positions from managers above the SEC reporting threshold and omits short positions entirely.
