Assume you are asking for exit options. 

Good exits have come out of their direct private equity group (TA Associates, Starboard Value, Madison Dearborn, Veritas, GS SSG) with Infra close behind though to all infra funds (Sixth Street Infra, Brookfield, ECP (x2), EQT, KKR Real estate, Apollo Infra).  The private debt team has had decent junior exits as well (Brigade, Blackstone Credit, at least one at Owl Rock) there also was a small restructuring pod that placed well when the three person junior team left (Ares Special Opportunities, King Street, Wharton MBA) but is a different seat today.  

Other exits I can think of include  Ares Private Equity (PE Partnerships), Blackrock secondaries (PE Partnerships), and a long tail of middle market PE firms (mainly directs) and smaller private credit firms (private debt).
