Ares Credit Direct Lending Analyst Exits?

Going to Ares DL in the NYC office this summer and was wondering what the exits are. Investments are mostly senior debt with some mezzanine and co-investments. Thanks.

Program is pretty new ( 3 years) so there might be not any actual exit data but would imagine similar to other MF PC programs

 

Do you know what year this is for because on linkedin there are interns from 2021 converting to full time. Also heard Ares' return rates have historically been around 90% so any chance u know what the reasoning behind the low return rates were?
