Earnings Call Transcripts
This Quarter (Q4 '25)
FY Q4 '25
Q&A boosts 2026 FRE conviction
Q&A reinforced the prepared upbeat outlook on 2026 but layered in specifics: FRE growth exceeding mid-teens targets via $200M from Oaktree/Just/credit managers plus fundraising surges in PE, infra, and credit. Management framed AI disruption as a tailwind, with <1% software exposure firmwide and unique power solutions like Bloom/nuclear easing grid bottlenecks for data centers. M&A shifts selective, tracking secondaries and partner managers while dialing back pace. Wealth flows hit 40%+ growth last year, set to continue with new products amid modest retail redemptions offset by institutional strength. Liquidity ample at $3B. AI fears? Pure upside. Watch flagship closes and deployment momentum.
Last Quarter (Q3 '25)
FY Q3 '25
Fundraising set to exceed records
Q&A amped up fundraising optimism, projecting 2026 inflows to top 2025's record $85-90 billion-plus pace while FRE meets or exceeds five-year plan, fueled by $200 million run-rate add from Oaktree, Just Group, and Angel Oak deals. Oaktree integration specifics surfaced: collapsing its balance sheet and monetizing holdings to fund the buy-in accretively, alongside ops leverage and client upsides. Credit fees rose on Castlelake transaction one-offs and mix shifts, but blended rates trend higher; management shrugged off isolated defaults, sticking to real-asset niches over commoditized direct lending. Retail PE product launched hot in Canada, now U.S.-bound. Growth stays front-footed.
