David Clark sits down with John Knox, Head of Australia and New Zealand at Ares Management, to pull back the curtain on how elite alternative asset managers unlock value in today's private markets. From scaling a massive $640B+ platform to analysing the structural shifts driving the boom in private credit, Knox breaks down how institutional investors successfully navigate market volatility and avoid correlation traps.
The conversation pivots into one of high finance's most dynamic frontiers: institutional sports investing. Knox shares behind-the-scenes perspectives on structuring high-conviction deals, ranging from vintage car-collateralised debt for McLaren Racing to equity positions in the Miami Dolphins and media rights strategies across global cricket leagues. Grounded in hard-won lessons from Wall Street to regional executive leadership, this discussion provides well-read investors with actionable frameworks for evaluating illiquid real assets, understanding shifting streaming economics, and building resilient, compounding portfolios.
