Ares Management, a global alternative asset manager, led a €116m funding round in Oaktree Capital-backed UNAVETS, an operator of chain veterinary clinics and hospitals. "We are thrilled Oaktree, and now Ares, as well, are backing our platform - helping to fuel our growth. As we continue to evolve UNAVETS, this financing will give us additional firepower to invest strategically across the veterinary sector - meaning in people, facilities, equipment and innovation – to provide the best care for our pets and ongoing professional development and future for our vets," Junko Sheehan, UNAVETS CEO and Chairman.
