Advantages some may see in cliques (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

assets

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'advantages some may see' is the definition.
(asset can mean something advantageous)

'cliques' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'cliques' could be 'sets' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'sets' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'as' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for assets that I've seen before include "capital" , "Property owned by person or business" , "(Person's) property" , "Advantages" , "One's goods and property" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
