Antony Ressler, co-founder and executive chairman of Ares Management, has discussed the growth of private markets and the firm's performance. At Ares Investor Day 2024, he stated that the company's market value and fee-related earnings grew tenfold over the prior decade, and assets under management increased five- to sixfold. He attributed this to consistent performance, disciplined investing, and a collaborative culture, adding that he expects private markets to grow faster than traditional markets across corporate, asset-backed, real estate, and infrastructure classes globally. Ressler has also spoken about the sports industry as a growing asset class, describing it as a "two-and-a-half to three trillion dollar" market. As principal owner of the Atlanta Hawks, he has emphasized plans to redevelop downtown Atlanta around the team's arena, stating that creating a "live, work and play" environment is good for business and the metro region. He has also commented on the economy, noting that low interest rates for an extended period contributed to high asset prices, and that the U.S. economy was "going about as well as we could hope for" in 2018, while expressing caution about inflation and the accumulation of debt in less visible markets.
