Distributions are not guaranteed. Distributions are calculated by annualizing the next month's declared distribution per share and dividing by the most recent month-end NAV. Distributions may be funded through cash flow from operations, as well as other sources including the sale of assets, borrowings, return of capital or offering proceeds. Distributions may be funded, directly or indirectly, from temporary waivers or expense reimbursements borne by the Fund's investment adviser that may be subject to reimbursement. The Fund has not established limits on the amounts it may distribute from such sources. As of January 31, 2026, 100% of inception to date distributions were funded from cash flows from operations.
2
Shares will be offered monthly on the first day of the applicable month. All capital is funded upfront (no capital calls). Subscription requests must be received at least five business days before the first day of each month (unless waived by the intermediary manager) and Net Asset Value (“NAV”) will be available generally within 20 business days after the effective date of the purchase.
3
Total return is calculated as the change in monthly NAV per share during the period plus distributions per share (assuming any distributions, net of distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees, are reinvested in accordance with the Fund's distribution reinvestment plan) divided by the beginning NAV per share, which is calculated after the deduction of ongoing expenses that are borne by investors, such as management fees, incentive fees, distribution and/or shareholder fees, interest expense, offering costs, professional fees, trustee fees and other general and administrative expenses. Inception-to-date figures use the initial offering price of $25.00 per share as the beginning NAV. There can be no assurance that ASIF will achieve its investment objective or avoid substantial losses. The information presented is for a very limited amount of time and is not representative of the long-term performance of the Fund.

ASIF does not charge investors an upfront sales load with respect to Class S, Class D or Class I shares. However, if you buy Class S, Class D or Class I shares through certain selling agents, they may directly charge you transaction or other fees, including upfront placement fees or brokerage commissions, in such amount as they may determine, provided that selling agents limit such charges to a maximum of 3.5% of NAV for Class S shares and 2.0% of NAV for Class D shares and 2.0% of NAV for Class I shares. Class S, Class D and Class I shares listed as With Upfront Placement Fees and Brokerage Commissions reflect the returns after the maximum upfront placement fees and brokerage commissions. Class S, Class D and Class I shares listed as Without Upfront Placement Fees and Brokerage Commissions exclude upfront placement fees and brokerage commissions. Expense Ratios: Class I shares: Gross: 8.00% / Net: 7.26%, Class D shares: Gross: 8.30% / Net: 7.54%, Class S shares: Gross: 8.84% / Net: 8.10%, annualized as of September 30, 2025 (the latest available data). The net expense ratio reflects an Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement between the Fund and its investment adviser. Pursuant to this agreement the Fund’s investment adviser may pay certain of the Fund’s expenses on the Fund’s behalf. Such payments are subject to recoupment or waiver at the option of the Fund’s investment adviser for a three-year period. This agreement may be terminated by either party at any time.

Inception date is December 5, 2022 for Class I shares and August 1, 2023 for Class D and Class S shares.
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.
