Berry Ryan (CMO, ARES) sold 14,557 shares for $2,622,571.12 across 2 transactions at $180.07–$180.16

Berry Ryan, Chief Marketing & Strategy Officer at Ares Management, executed 2 separate sales totaling 14,557 shares for $2,622,571.12, reducing his holdings from 247,771 shares to 233,214 shares (a -5.9% reduction). The sales occurred on 2024-11-27 and 2024-12-11 at blended average price $180.16, near the stock's 52-week high of $182.74. In his cross-ticker trading history, Ryan's prior 20 open-market sells returned an average +25.6% over 90 days with a 0.00% well-timed rate, indicating his prior sell-side timing has been poor (stocks typically rose after he sold). At ARES specifically, his 5 prior trades (all sells, all from October–November 2024) show mixed near-term returns (+1.6%, -1.7%, +0.5%, +1.0%, +1.1%) with no measurable 90-day outcomes yet. The stock has gained +9.0% over 30 days and +23.8% over 90 days since announcement, and ARES trades at a P/E of 78.64 against $18.9B market cap with solid fundamentals ($842.0M quarterly revenue, +12.4% annual growth, $216.4M net income).

ARES Chief Mktg. & Strategy Officer sold 18,329 shares at $175.18 on 2024-11-06 ($3.2M), reducing holdings 6.7%.

Berry Ryan, Chief Mktg. & Strategy Officer, executed a discretionary open-market sale of 18,329 shares at $175.18, reducing holdings by 6.7% to 254,885 shares. The sale occurred after recent stock strength: ARES is up 7.7% over 30 days and 20.4% over 90 days, and the transaction price of $175.18 is near the 52-week high of $172.50. Across all tickers, Ryan's prior 20 sells posted a 0.00% well-timed rate over 90 days—meaning none of those sales preceded declines—and an average 90-day return of +9.4%, indicating his sells have generally been followed by stock appreciation. At ARES specifically, his five prior trades show no measurable 90-day outcomes yet, so there is limited same-ticker timing data. Elevated valuation (P/E 73.44) and strong recent price momentum provide context but do not indicate distress; the transaction is modest in scope relative to his 254.9K-share post-sale holding.

Berry Ryan (CMO & Strategy Officer) sells 40,000 ARES shares in 3 transactions for $6.7M at avg $167.99, retaining 304,202 shares (11.6% reduction)

Berry Ryan executed three separate sales totaling 40,000 shares for $6,719,793.21 on 2024-10-17, reducing his ARES holdings by 11.6% to 304,202 shares post-transaction. The blended average sale price of $167.99 sits near current price ($168.69) and within 0.7% of the 52-week high, indicating the sales occurred at elevated valuation levels. His track record across all tickers shows 20 prior sells averaging +9.7% 30-day returns and +8.9% 90-day returns, with 0.00% well-timed rate—meaning his prior sells were systematically followed by stock appreciation rather than declines. At ARES specifically, his five prior trades show consistent short-term positive outcomes (30-day returns ranging +8.8% to +11.7%), suggesting the stock has risen after his recent sells at this ticker. Given the company's elevated P/E of 72.71, recent +12.4% revenue growth, and his substantial remaining position, this sale reflects a material but not complete reduction of exposure.

ARES CMO Ryan sells 20,000 shares at $160.07; holds 344.2K shares post-sale.

Berry Ryan, Chief Marketing & Strategy Officer of Ares Management Corp, sold 20,000 shares (5.5% of his pre-transaction holdings) at $160.07 on 2024-10-04, reducing his stake from 364.2K to 344.2K shares. The transaction occurred at a price near the 52-week high of $160.56, with the stock currently trading 4.5% below that peak at $153.38. Across his full cross-ticker trading history, Ryan's prior sells have generated an average 90-day return of +10.3% with a well-timed rate of 0.00%, indicating his open-market sales have historically not preceded stock declines. At ARES specifically, all 5 prior trades occurred within a narrow 3-day window in mid-September 2024 and remain unmeasurable at the 90-day mark. The sale occurs against a backdrop of healthy company fundamentals: Ares reported $874.9M in latest-quarter revenue with net income of $170.8M and 12.4% annual revenue growth, though the stock carries a elevated P/E of 66.11. The modest 5.5% reduction in Ryan's holdings suggests continued material confidence in the company despite the discretionary sale.

ARES CMO Ryan sells 50,000 shares in 6 transactions (Sep 17-19) for $7.7M at blended avg $153.30; retains 364.2K shares.

Berry Ryan, Chief Marketing & Strategy Officer at Ares Management Corp, executed 6 separate sales totaling 50,000 shares for $7,664,883.32 between September 17–19, 2024, at prices ranging from $150.37 to $156.17. His post-transaction holdings of 364.2K shares represent a -12.1% reduction from pre-transaction levels, a material but not dominant liquidation of his position. The stock is currently at $156.51, near its 52-week high of $156.51, and has appreciated 8.2% over 30 days and 18.8% over 90 days—strong recent momentum. Notably, Ryan's cross-ticker track record shows a 0.00% well-timed rate on 15 prior open-market sells (higher is better; this indicates his historical sales did not consistently precede declines), and his five prior trades at ARES in early September have not yet reached 90-day measurement windows. The multi-transaction structure and timing across three consecutive days, combined with modest post-transaction holdings retention and near-peak-price execution, warrants attention to whether this represents a significant directional view or routine portfolio management.

CMO Berry Ryan sold 32,500 ARES shares across 5 transactions for $4.8M; stock up 10.7% in 90 days.

Berry Ryan, Chief Marketing & Strategy Officer at Ares Management, executed 5 separate sales totaling 32,500 shares (32.5K shares) for $4,766,691.09 between September 12–16, 2024, reducing his stake by 7.3% from 446,702 shares to 414,202 shares. The blended average sale price was $146.67, while the stock currently trades at $149.39, only 2.5% below its 52-week high of $153.20. Over the 90 days preceding this filing, ARES stock gained 10.7%; however, his own cross-ticker track record shows a well-timed sell rate of 0.00% across 10 prior open-market sales, with an average 90-day post-sale return of +11.4%—indicating prior sales were followed by stock appreciation rather than declines. At the same ticker, his one prior sell with measurable outcome (September 2023) returned +8.8% over 90 days, again a poorly timed outcome.

ARES CMO Berry Ryan sold 67,500 shares (−13.1% of holdings) for $9.5M across 4 transactions on 2024-09-05 to 09-09

Berry Ryan, Chief Marketing & Strategy Officer at Ares Management, executed 4 separate sales totaling 67,500 shares for $9,513,892.04 between September 5–9, 2024, reducing his position from 514,202 shares to 446,702 shares. The blended average sale price was $140.95, slightly below the current price of $140.08. His prior trades at ARES (5 historical sales) showed positive 90-day returns averaging +8.7%, though 0 of the 5 prior sales were well-timed by the metric that sells are well-timed when the stock falls afterward; instead, the stock rose in the 90 days following each prior sale. The company trades at a P/E of 60.38 against positive FY revenue growth of +12.4% and a $14.5B market cap, placing the stock near its 52-week high despite a −1.0% 30-day decline.
