Corporate Governance

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. 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.

An investment in the Fund should be considered illiquid. An investment in the Fund is not suitable for investors who need access to the money they invest. Although the Fund may offer to repurchase a limited amount of its shares via quarterly tender offers, the Fund’s shares will not be redeemable, transferable or otherwise exchangeable at an investor’s option. As a result, an investor may not be able to sell or otherwise liquidate its shares. There can be no assurance that the Fund will conduct tender offers in any particular period and investors may be unable to tender their shares for repurchase for an indefinite period of time.

This is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation to purchase the securities described herein. An offering is made only by the Prospectus to individuals who meet minimum suitability requirements. This material is authored only when it is accompanied or preceded by the Prospectus and must be read in conjunction with the Prospectus in order to fully understand all of the implications and risk of the offering to which the Prospectus relates. Please read the Prospectus prior to making any investment decisions and consider the risks, charges, and expenses and other information described therein. Additional copies of the Prospectus may be obtained by contacting your financial advisor or by visiting EDGAR on the SEC website at https://www.sec.gov or by visiting areswms.com/solutions/asif.

Investments in the Ares Private Markets Fund or Ares Strategic Income Fund are not suitable for all investors. Investing in shares of the Funds involves a high degree of risk, including the risk that payment of distributions is uncertain and cannot be guaranteed, the risk that an investment is not liquid, and the risk that stockholders may lose the entire amount of their investment. Please review the APMF Summary Risk Factors and the Prospectus, and the ASIF Summary Risk Factors and the Prospectus for a complete list of the risks associated with the Ares Private Markets Fund and Ares Strategic Income Fund investments.
