What does Ares Credit do?

Hi, current college freshmen who is trying to become more knowledgeable in the field.

I am particularly interested in what a Credit team on a company like Ares does?

I understand that Ares is an alt asset manager and has different investment sectors including PE and infrastructure, but I am particularly confused on what their Credit team does and where they fit within the overall world on Investment. 

As I currently understand they help provide funding for PE companies who are trying to do an LBO.  However I think that understanding may easily be incorrect and is definitely not as throughout as I want my knowledge of the subject to be.

If anyone can give me a somewhat detailed does description of different tasks they perform and where they fit in the investment picture, it would be much appreciated.

Thank you
