Significant Fund Performance Metrics Endnotes Assets under management equals the sum of the NAV for such fund, the drawn and undrawn debt (at the fund-level including amounts subject to restrictions) and uncalled committed capital. The AUM for ARCC does not include AUM of General Electric Company’s co-investment in the SSLP (through which ARCC co-invests with affiliates of General Electric Company) or Ivy Hill Asset Management, L.P. (a wholly owned portfolio company of ARCC). The AUM for CSF, a fund of funds, includes AUM that has been committed to other Ares funds. Net returns are annualized net returns and are calculated using the fund's net asset value per share (NAV) and assume dividends are reinvested at the closest quarter-end NAV to the relevant quarterly ex-dividend dates. ARCC files public financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which are not part of this quarterly report. Net returns are net of management fees and performance fees as applicable. CSF, ACE II, ACOF III, ACOF IV, ACOF Asia, USPF III, USPF IV, US VIII, and EU IV net returns are also after giving effect to other expenses. Returns are expressed in U.S. Dollars. Net returns for the past three year, five year, and since inception periods are annualized net returns calculated by linking monthly net returns. Monthly net returns are calculated by linking daily returns. Prior to January 1, 2015 monthly net returns were calculated using the modified Dietz method, which is an estimate of the time-weighted return and weights portfolio cash flows according to the time they were invested in the portfolio. The net return is an annualized net internal rate of return of cash flows to and from the fee-paying partners, and the fee-paying partners’ ending capital for the period. The past five and three years net returns are calculated using the beginning partners’ capital for the fee-paying partners for such period. Cash flows for net return calculations are based on the actual dates of the cash flows. Net returns are annualized net returns and are calculated using the fund's net asset value per share (NAV) and assume dividends are reinvested at the NAV. ARDC files public financial statements with the SEC, which are not part of this quarterly report. ACE II is made up of two feeder funds, one denominated in U.S. Dollars and one denominated in Euros. The since inception net IRR presented in the chart is for the U.S. Dollar denominated feeder fund. All other values for ACE II are for the combined fund and are converted to U.S. Dollars at the prevailing quarter-end exchange rate. The since inception net IRR for the Euro denominated feeder fund is 11.5%, and is calculated using the same methodology described in footnotes 3 and 5 above. The variance between the since inception net IRRs for the U.S. Dollar denominated and Euro denominated feeder funds is driven by the U.S. GAAP mark-to-market reporting of the foreign currency hedging program in the U.S. Denominated feeder fund. The feeder fund is expected to hold the foreign currency hedges until maturity, and therefore is expected to ultimately recognize a gain while mitigating the currency risk associated with the initial principle investments. Information not yet meaningful due to limited operating history. The net return is an annualized net internal rate of return of cash flows on investments and the investments’ ending valuations for the period. The past five and three years net returns are calculated using beginning investment valuations for such period. For ACOF III and ACOF IV, cash flows and beginning and ending valuations include those attributable to the interests of the fee-paying limited partners and exclude those attributable to the non-fee paying limited partners and the general partner. For ACOF Asia, cash flows and beginning and ending valuations include those attributable to the interests of all partners, including the general partner and Schedule I limited partners, which both pay reduced performance fees and do not pay management fees, since the commitments of these partners account for approximately 75% of total fund commitments. Cash flows for all net return calculations are assumed to occur at month-end. AUM and net returns are presented as of March 31, 2016. The return shown is an effective yield that represents the dollar weighted average of the unleveraged effective yield of ACRE’s principal lending portfolio measured at the end of the sixteen quarterly periods ending March 31, 2015. Unleveraged effective yield is based on the contractual interest rate (adjusted for any deferred loan fees, costs, premium or discount) and assumes no dispositions, early prepayments or defaults and does not take into consideration the impact of leverage utilized by ACRE, fees, expenses and other costs incurred by ACRE or its stockholders, which are expected to be significant. Unleveraged effective yield does not represent net returns to investors of ACRE. ACRE files public financial statements with the SEC, which are not part of this quarterly report. EU IV is made up of two parallel funds, one denominated in Euros and one denominated in U.S. Dollars. The net returns in this presentation are for the U.S. Dollar denominated fund. All other values for EU IV are for the combined fund and are converted to U.S. Dollars at the prevailing quarter-end exchange rate. Since inception net IRR for the Euro denominated fund is (1.0%), and is calculated using the same methodology described in footnote 5 above. Unrealized value is a component of total value. There can be no assurance that unrealized investments will be realized at the valuations shown. Realized proceeds represent the sum of all cash distributions to all partners. Realized proceeds represents the sum of all cash dividends, interest income, other fees and cash proceeds from realizations of interests in portfolio investments. Realized proceeds include distributions of operating income, sales and financing proceeds received through March 31, 2016. Unrealized value represents the fund’s net asset value as of March 31, 2016. Unrealized value represents the fair market value of remaining investments as of March 31, 2016. Unrealized value represents the fair market value of remaining real estate investments as of March 31, 2016 (excluding balance sheet items). There can be no assurance that unrealized investments will be realized at the valuations shown. 28

The gross and net MoIC for the Euro denominated feeder fund are 1.3x and 1.2x, respectively. Original capital commitments are converted to U.S. Dollars at the prevailing exchange rate at the time of the fund’s closing. All other values for ACE II are for the combined fund and are converted to U.S. Dollars at the prevailing quarter-end exchange rate. The variance between the gross and net MoICs for the U.S. Dollar denominated and Euro denominated feeder funds is driven by the U.S. GAAP mark-to-market reporting of the foreign currency hedging program in the U.S. Dollar denominated feeder fund. The feeder fund is expected to hold the foreign currency hedges until maturity, and therefore is expected to ultimately recognize a gain while mitigating the currency risk associated with the initial principal investments. E.U. IV is made up of two parallel funds, one denominated in Euros and one denominated in U.S. Dollars. The gross and net MoIC presented in the chart are for the U.S. dollar-denominated fund. The gross and net MoIC for the Euro fund are 1.1x and 1.0x, respectively. Original capital commitments are converted to U.S. Dollars at the prevailing exchange rate at the time of fund’s closing. All other values for E.U. IV are for the combined fund and are converted to U.S. Dollars at the prevailing quarter-end exchange rate. 29

Represents units exchangeable for Ares Management, L.P. common units on a one-for-one basis. We apply the treasury stock method to determine the dilutive weighted-average common units represented by our restricted stock to be settled in common units and options to acquire common units. Under the treasury stock method, compensation expense attributed to future services and not yet recognized is presumed to be used to acquire outstanding common units, thus reducing the weighted-average number of units and the dilutive effect of these awards. Represents proportional dilutive impact based upon the percentage of Ares Operating Group owned by Ares Management, L.P.

This table is a reconciliation of income before provision for income taxes on a consolidated basis to FRE on a Stand Alone basis, which shows the results of the reportable segments on a combined basis together with the Operations Management Group. Management believes that this presentation is more meaningful than a reconciliation to the reportable segments on a segment basis because such reconciliation would exclude the Operations Management Group. Differences may arise due to rounding. 33

Glossary ARCC Part I Fees ARCC Part I Fees refers to fees based on ARCC’s net investment income (before giving effect to ARCC Part I Fees and ARCC Part II Fees). ARCC Part II Fees ARCC Part II Fees refers to fees based on ARCC's net capital gains, which are paid annually. Ares Operating Group Units Ares Operating Group Units refer, collectively, to a partnership unit in each of the Ares Operating Group entities, which include Ares Holdings L.P., Ares Domestic Holdings L.P., Ares Offshore Holdings L.P., Ares Investments L.P. and Ares Real Estate Holdings L.P. Assets Under Management Assets Under Management (or “AUM”) refers to the assets we manage. For our funds other than CLOs, our AUM represents the sum of the net asset value of such funds, the drawn and undrawn debt (at the fund-level including amounts subject to restrictions) and uncalled committed capital (including commitments to funds that have yet to commence their investment periods). For our funds that are CLOs, our AUM represents subordinated notes (equity) plus all drawn and undrawn debt tranches. A portion of our AUM may be cancelled or otherwise not available. No assurance can be made that all AUM will be invested. Available Capital Available Capital is comprised of uncalled committed capital and undrawn amounts under credit facilities, and may include AUM that may be cancelled or not otherwise available to invest. Consolidated Funds Consolidated Funds refers collectively to certain Ares-affiliated funds, related co-investment entities and certain CLOs that are required under GAAP to be consolidated in our combined and consolidated financial statements. Distributable Earnings Distributable earnings (or “DE”) refers to a pre-income tax measure that is used to assess amounts potentially available for distributions to stakeholders. Distributable earnings is calculated as the sum of Fee Related Earnings, realized performance fees, realized performance fee compensation, realized net investment and other income, and is reduced by expenses arising from transaction costs associated with acquisitions, placement fees and underwriting costs, expenses incurred in connection with corporate reorganization and depreciation. Distributable earnings differs from income before taxes computed in accordance with GAAP as it is presented before giving effect to unrealized performance fees, unrealized performance fee compensation, unrealized net investment income, amortization of intangibles, equity compensation expense and is further adjusted by certain items described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ---Reconciliation of Certain Non-GAAP Measures to Consolidated GAAP Financial Measures” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10Q. Economic Net Income Economic net income (or “ENI”) refers to net income excluding (a) income tax expense, (b) operating results of our Consolidated Funds, (c) depreciation and amortization expense, (d) the effects of changes arising from corporate actions, and (e) certain other items that we believe are not indicative of our core performance. Changes arising from corporate actions include equity-based compensation expenses, the amortization of intangible assets, transaction costs associated with mergers and acquisitions and capital transactions, placement fees and underwriting costs and expenses incurred in connection with corporate reorganization. We believe the exclusion of these items provides investors with a meaningful indication of core operating performance. ENI is evaluated regularly by management as a decision tool for deployment of resources and to assess performance of our business segments. We believe that reporting ENI is helpful in understanding our business and that investors should review the same supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that our management uses to analyze our segment performance. 34

Glossary (cont’d) Fee Earning Assets Under Management Fee earning AUM (or “FEAUM”) refers to the AUM on which we directly or indirectly earn management fees. Fee earning AUM is equal to the sum of all the individual fee bases of our funds that contribute directly or indirectly to our management fees. Fee Related Earnings Fee related earnings (or “FRE”) refers to a component of ENI that is used to assess the ability of our business to cover direct base compensation and operating expenses from management fees. FRE differs from income before taxes computed in accordance with GAAP as it adjusts for the items included in the calculation of ENI and excludes performance fees, performance fee compensation, investment income from our Consolidated Funds and non-consolidated funds and certain other items that we believe are not indicative our performance. Gross Invested Capital Gross Invested Capital refers to the aggregate amount of new capital invested by our funds during a given period, and includes investments made by our draw-down funds and permanent capital vehicles (and affiliated funds) and new capital raised and invested by our open-ended managed accounts, sub advised accounts and CLOs, but excludes capital that is reinvested (after receiving repayments of capital) by our open-ended managed accounts, sub advised accounts and CLOs. Incentive Generating Assets Under Management Incentive generating AUM (or “IGAUM”) refers to the AUM of our funds that are currently generating, on a realized or unrealized basis, performance fee revenue. It generally represents the NAV of our funds for which we are entitled to receive a performance fee, excluding capital committed by us and our professionals (which generally is not subject to a performance fee). IGAUM only includes ARCC Part II Fees. Incentive Eligible Assets Under Management Incentive eligible AUM (or “IEAUM”) refers to the AUM of our funds that are eligible to produce performance fee revenue, regardless of whether or not they are currently generating performance fees. It generally represents the NAV plus uncalled equity of our funds for which we are entitled to receive a performance fee, excluding capital committed by us and our professionals (which generally is not subject to a performance fee). Operations Management Group In addition to our three segments, we have an Operations Management Group (the “OMG”) that consists of five independent, shared resource groups to support our reportable segments by providing infrastructure and administrative support in the areas of accounting/finance, operations/information technology, business development, legal/compliance and human resources. The OMG’s expenses are not allocated to our four reportable segments but we consider the cost structure of the OMG when evaluating our financial performance. This information constitutes non-GAAP financial information within the meaning of Regulation G, as promulgated by the SEC. Our management uses this information to assess the performance of our reportable segments and our Operations Management Group, and we believe that this information enhances the ability of unitholders to analyze our performance. Our Funds Our funds refers to the funds, alternative asset companies, co-investment vehicles and other entities and accounts that are managed or co-managed by the Ares Operating Group, and which are structured to pay fees. It also includes funds managed by Ivy Hill Asset Management, L.P., a wholly owned portfolio company of Ares Capital Corporation ARCC, and a registered investment adviser. 35

Glossary (cont’d) Performance Related Earnings Performance related earnings (or “PRE”) refers to a measure used to assess our investment performance and our ability to cover performance fee compensation from performance fees and total investment income. PRE differs from income (loss) before taxes computed in accordance with GAAP as it only includes performance fees, performance fee compensation and total investment and other income earned from our Consolidated Funds and non-consolidated funds. Permanent Capital Permanent capital refers to capital of our funds that do not have redemption provisions or a requirement to return capital to investors upon exiting the investments made with such capital, except as required by applicable law, which funds currently consist of Ares Capital Corporation (“ARCC”), Ares Commercial Real Estate Corporation (“ACRE”), and Ares Dynamic Credit Allocation Fund, Inc. (“ARDC”); such funds may be required, or elect, to return all or a portion of capital gains and investment income. Senior Secured Loan Fund LLC Senior Secured Loan Fund LLC (or “SSLP”) is a program co-managed by a subsidiary of Ares through which ARCC co-invests with affiliates of General Electric Company. Total Fee Revenue Total fee revenue refers to the sum of segment management fees and net performance fees. 36
