FT News Briefing · Ares’ big play in private equity · 28 Jul 2026 podcast

He's our U.S.

private equity and deals editor.

Hi, Antoine.

Doing well.

So how significant of an acquisition would this be for Aries?

Would Aries acquiring Leonard Green get them close to competing with those titans?

Well, let's talk a little bit about what's going on in the private equity space as Aries is thinking about this deal.

Got it.

So because the industry is in a tough spot, you basically have to be the biggest and the best in order to compete for less money that's flowing in.

How does this potential deal fit into the larger wave of consolidation that's been happening across P.E.

Well, I guess the question is, is this deal actually going to happen, though?

I mean, what have Aries and Leonard Green said to you about what you've heard?

Thanks, Antoine.

It looks like holding debt in AI-related companies is getting riskier.

Think big tech groups like Oracle, SpaceX, and Meta.

A key gauge of that risk, prices for credit default swaps, is rising rapidly.

They're a popular tool to bet against corporate debt.
