There is no public trading market for shares (the "Shares") in our private markets investment solutions and we do not anticipate that there will be a public trading market for the Shares, so redemption of Shares by us will likely be the only way to dispose of stockholders' Shares. The redemption programs impose limits on redemptions and may be modified or suspended at any time. As a result, Shares have only limited liquidity and may become illiquid.

ASIF seeks to invest primarily in first lien senior secured loans, second lien senior secured loans, subordinated secured and unsecured loans, subordinated debt, and other types of credit instruments made to or issued by U.S. middle-market companies. ASIF generally defines U.S. middle-market companies as companies with annual net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") between $10 million and $250 million.

The Ares Private Markets Fund is only available to investors who meet the definitions of both an Accredited Investor and a Qualified Client. An investment in the Fund involves a high degree of risk and therefore should only be undertaken by qualified investors whose financial resources are sufficient to enable them to assume these risks and to bear the loss of all or part of their investment. The Fund and Ares do not guarantee any level of return or risk on investments and there can be no assurance that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.

Institutional investors may invest on substantially different terms and conditions than individual investors, which may include lower fees, expenses or leverage. Institutional investors have different investment objectives and constraints than individuals, including with respect to risk tolerance, investment time horizon, tax treatment and liquidity needs.
