Co-Founder & Chairman Rosenthal Bennett sells entire 85,000-share ARES position for $14.3M on 2025-06-12

Rosenthal Bennett, Co-Founder and Chairman of PEG, executed 4 separate sales totaling 85,000 shares for $14,347,484.17 at blended average price $168.79, reducing his ARES holdings from 85,000 shares to 0 shares—a complete exit. The sales occurred at prices ranging from $166.69 to $170.08 near the stock's 52-week high of $198.22, and current price of $166.56 is -16.0% from the 52-week high and -5.3% over 30 days. Across his cross-ticker track record of 20 prior sells, Bennett's average 90-day return is +3.9% with a 0.00% well-timed rate, indicating his prior sales have generally been poorly timed (stock subsequently rose). At ARES specifically, 5 recent sales on 2025-05-15 lack measurable outcomes. The complete liquidation of a founder's position warrants investor attention given the magnitude, timing relative to the stock's recent peak, and the executive's elevated platform role.

Rosenthal Bennett sold 40,000 shares at $169.37 avg for $6.8M; holds 85,000 shares post-sale

Rosenthal Bennett (Co-Founder & Chairman of PEG) executed 5 separate sales totaling 40,000 shares for $6,774,878.04 on 2025-05-15, reducing his holding by 32.0% to 85,000 shares. The blended average sale price of $169.37 falls near the current price of $168.64 and within the 52-week range ($118.04–$198.22), placing the transaction 14.9% below the recent 52-week high. His prior sales at ARES show a consistent pattern of negative 30-day returns (range: -25.5% to -27.6%), and his cross-ticker track record across 20 prior sells demonstrates a 100.00% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark. This latest sale, while reducing exposure, occurs after a +19.4% 30-day price movement and during a period when the company reports strong fundamentals (revenue $1.0B, net income $47.2M, +14.0% annual growth, P/E 39.77). The insider retains substantial holdings at 85,000 shares, and Form 4 Table II derivative securities data is not yet populated in this database, so the reported post-transaction position may not reflect the insider's complete economic exposure.

Rosenthal Bennett sells entire 100,000-share ARES stake for $16.1M across 16 transactions at $157.03–$165.77, reducing position by -100.0%

Rosenthal Bennett, Co-Founder & Chairman of PEG, liquidated his complete 100,000-share holding in Ares Management Corp across 16 separate sales on March 4–5, 2025, at a blended average price of $161.00 for a total of $16,100,103.45. The timing of this complete exit is notable given that ARES stock has since declined 21.5% over the prior 30 days and 22.6% from its 52-week high of $198.22, now trading at $153.37—below the execution prices for most of this filing's transactions. His prior five sales at ARES (all on 2024-11-27) posted 90-day declines averaging -5.34%, with 100% classified as well-timed (all five followed by stock price erosion); however, the current filing's execution prices at $157–$165 preceded a steep drawdown, suggesting the sell occurred near the peak of a rally phase. The full liquidation—eliminating 100.0% of his prior holding—stands out as a departure from portfolio-maintenance activity and warrants examination of whether this reflects a strategic exit ahead of anticipated headwinds, particularly in light of his demonstrated 70.00% well-timed sell rate across his cross-ticker track record.

Rosenthal Bennett sold 29,107 shares of ARES for $5,127,237.15, liquidating entire position on 2024-11-27

Rosenthal Bennett, Co-Founder & Chairman of PEG, executed 6 separate sales totaling 29,107 shares for $5,127,237.15 at a blended average price of $176.15, resulting in complete liquidation of his ARES holdings (net change: sold 29,107 shares, -100.0% vs pre-transaction holdings). The sales occurred on 2024-11-27 at prices ranging from $174.93 to $179.92, near the stock's 52-week high of $178.83 (-2.7% from peak). This follows a pattern of consecutive sales: the SAME-TICKER HISTORY shows 5 prior sales at ARES within the preceding two days (2024-11-25 and 2024-11-26), suggesting an ongoing systematic exit from the position rather than a single discrete transaction. With ARES trading at $173.95 post-sale and displaying strong recent momentum (+7.5% over 30 days, +22.5% over 90 days), the timing of this complete liquidation near the 52-week high warrants investor attention to whether this reflects a material shift in the insider's assessment of ARES fundamentals or valuation relative to other opportunities.

PEG Co-Founder Rosenthal Bennett sold 85,860 shares at ARES for $15.2M (−74.7% of holdings) in 8 transactions on Nov 25-26

Rosenthal Bennett, Co-Founder & Chairman of PEG, executed 8 separate sales totaling 85,860 shares for $15,229,436.79 over two days (Nov 25-26), reducing his holdings from 114,967 shares to 29,107 shares at a blended average price of $177.38. The stock currently trades at $178.83, near its 52-week high of $178.83, and has gained 23.2% over 90 days and 5.5% over 30 days, suggesting he sold into near-peak valuations. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior sells with an average 30-day return of +13.2%, indicating a pattern of selling at elevated levels; however, his prior ARES sales (5 trades on Nov 21-22) lack measurable 90-day outcomes as outcomes are not yet determined. The large concentration and speed of this liquidation—shedding three-quarters of his ARES holdings in two trading sessions—reflects a material reduction in equity exposure rather than routine portfolio maintenance.

Rosenthal Bennett (Co-Founder & Chairman) sold 78,604 shares for $13,671,864.72 across 11 transactions Nov 20-22 at blended avg $173.93

Rosenthal Bennett executed 11 separate sales totaling 78,604 shares for $13,671,864.72 over three trading days (Nov 20-22), reducing his ARES holdings by 40.6% from 193,571 to 114,967 shares. The blended average transaction price of $173.93 is near the current price of $175.52, with the stock at its 52-week high. This represents a significant concentrated liquidation by a co-founder and chairman, occurring immediately after prior sales on Nov 18-19 (5 additional trades shown in SAME-TICKER HISTORY, outcomes not yet measurable). His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior sells with an average 30-day return of +10.4%, but no timing evaluation is available at the 90-day mark for any of his prior sells at ARES. The magnitude and velocity of this divestment—nearly 41% of pre-transaction holdings in three days—warrant close monitoring of his remaining 114,967 share position and any regulatory filings that may clarify the rationale.

PEG Co-Founder Rosenthal Bennett sold 56,429 shares of ARES for $9,485,893.98 across 8 transactions (Nov 15–19)

Rosenthal Bennett, Co-Founder & Chairman of PEG, executed 8 separate sales totaling 56,429 shares for $9,485,893.98 at an average price of $168.10 between November 15–19, 2024. This represents a 22.6% reduction in his stated holdings, from 250,000 shares to 193,571 shares post-transaction. However, a derivative-conversion flag indicates that the Form 4 Table I shares_after figure does not represent his total economic position—derivative securities holdings in Table II are not yet populated in the database, so the full scope of his stake cannot be assessed from this filing alone. The sales occurred as the stock trades near its 52-week high of $172.50 (current price $170.35 is -1.2% from that peak). His cross-ticker track record shows a 90-day well-timed rate of 0.00%, and prior ARES trades in September all showed positive 30-day returns (ranging 10.5% to 14.8%), though 90-day outcomes remain unmeasurable. The blended sale price of $168.10 sits between his September transaction prices and current levels, providing limited clarity on timing intent within the recent trading window.

Rosenthal Bennett sells entire 75,000-share position at ARES for $10.7M; complete exit from $15.4B company

Rosenthal Bennett, Co-Founder & Chairman of PEG, liquidated his entire 75,000-share stake in Ares Management through 4 separate sales on September 12, 2024, at blended average price of $143.05, netting $10,728,917.86. This represents a complete exit (100% reduction from pre-transaction holdings) executed across a narrow price band ($141.03–$143.65) within a single trading day. ARES trades at $149.39 currently, up 3.0% over 30 days and 10.7% over 90 days; the company reports quarterly revenue of $874,915,000.00 and net income of $170,762,000.00. Bennett's cross-ticker track record across 20 prior sells shows an average 30-day post-sale return of +1.7%, while his 5 most recent ARES sales (all within the prior 12 days) have not yet accumulated measurable 30-day or 90-day outcomes. The complete liquidation signals either a significant change in position interest or portfolio reallocation, though the narrow execution window and current price proximity to the 52-week high ($153.20) provide limited directional clarity on forward expectations.

Rosenthal Bennett sells 26,579 shares of ARES for $3.8M at $142.66 avg; reduces stake 26.2% to 75K shares

Rosenthal Bennett, Co-Founder & Chairman of PEG, executed 4 separate sales on 2024-09-03 totaling 26,579 shares for $3,791,690.60, reducing his ARES holdings from 101,579 to 75,000 shares. The sales occurred at prices ranging from $142.14 to $145.10, at or near the 52-week high of $153.20 (current price $140.86, down 8.0% from peak). His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior sells averaging +10.9% 30-day returns, though 0 of his prior same-ticker trades at ARES have measurable 90-day outcomes yet. The magnitude of this disposition—a 26.2% reduction in a single filing—represents material portfolio activity from a founder-level executive during ARES's strong operational period (12.4% annual revenue growth, $170.8M net income in latest quarter).

Rosenthal Bennett sells 48,421 shares of ARES for $7.0M across 5 transactions, reducing holdings by 32.3% to 101,579 shares.

Rosenthal Bennett, Co-Founder & Chairman of PEG, executed 5 separate sales totaling 48,421 shares for $7,049,629.89 between 2024-08-29 and 2024-08-30, with a blended average price of $145.59. This represents a substantial reduction of his ARES position from 150,000 shares to 101,579 shares, a net change of -32.3%. The sales occurred at prices near the current level ($146.40), slightly below the 52-week high of $153.20. Bennett's cross-ticker track record shows a 90-day well-timed rate of 0.00%, indicating his prior sells have historically not preceded stock declines; however, this metric is drawn from 20 prior sells across all tickers and provides limited predictive insight for timing at this specific ticker. The concentration of five sales within a two-day window and the magnitude of the position reduction warrant observation of subsequent price action and any disclosure of motivation.
