How has it treated the people who own it?

SI estimate Inferred, not read as filed
From the record
SI estimate, not a filed reading: Ares Management Corporation's shareholder treatment is put at 0.6 of 10 with a confidence of 35 of 100, because read from one part only, the cash returned against operating cash flow, which ranks in the bottom 6% of 46 in its family; fewer than two of the parts can be read: the share count over the years, and the cash returned against a positive operating cash flow or net income. A filing that carries the missing parts replaces this estimate with the filed reading.
