Asset Management

Our Asset Management business primarily operates through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sculptor and RCM Manager. Sculptor is a leading global alternative asset manager and a specialist in opportunistic investing. Sculptor provides asset management services and investment products across credit, real estate and multi-strategy platforms with approximately $34.8 billion in AUM as of March 31, 2025. Sculptor serves its global client base through our commingled funds, separate accounts and other alternative investment vehicles. RCM Manager externally manages Rithm Property Trust and may in the future manage additional entities.

AUM refers to the assets for which we provide investment management, advisory or certain other investment-related services. This is generally equal to the sum of (i) net asset value of the open-ended funds or gross asset value of real estate funds, (ii) uncalled capital commitments and (iii) par value of collateralized loan obligations. 

AUM includes amounts that are not subject to management fees, incentive income or other amounts earned on AUM. AUM also includes amounts that are invested in other Sculptor funds or vehicles. Our calculation of AUM may differ from the calculations of other asset managers, and as a result, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other asset managers. Our calculations of AUM are not based on any definition set forth in the governing documents of the investment funds and are not calculated pursuant to any regulatory definitions.

Growth in AUM in Sculptor’s funds and positive investment performance of Sculptor’s funds drive growth in our Asset Management revenue and earnings. Conversely, poor investment performance slows our growth by decreasing our AUM and increasing the potential for redemptions from our funds, which would have a negative effect on our revenues and earnings.

The Asset Management business generates its revenues primarily through Sculptor management fees and incentive income. 

Management fees are generally calculated based on a percentage of the AUM we manage. Management fees for certain of our closed-end funds are based on invested capital. Management fees are generally calculated and paid to Sculptor on a quarterly basis in advance, based on the amount of AUM at the beginning of the quarter. Management
