Ares Infrastructure Fund Secures $84.3 Million Through Private Equity Sale
Ares Core Infrastructure Fund has raised $84.3 million in new capital through a private sale of common shares, finalized on April 1, 2025. This latest transaction expands the fund’s equity base without involving any underwriting fees—keeping the process efficient, streamlined, and aligned with institutional investor needs.
The shares were priced using the fund’s net asset value per share as of March 31. That NAV will be published within 20 business days following the deal, giving investors a clear view of the valuation basis behind their capital allocation. By anchoring pricing to end-of-month NAV, the fund ensures transparency and alignment with current portfolio valuations.
Private Placement Mechanics
This was a private placement, executed under exemptions provided by Rule 506(b) of Regulation D and Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. That means the offering wasn’t registered with the SEC and was instead made available to accredited investors—an approach that avoids registration delays and maintains flexibility in how capital is raised.
There were no commissions or underwriting discounts tied to the offering. This keeps transaction costs low and preserves more of the invested capital for deployment. The decision to raise capital through this route reflects a consistent strategy: building scale and funding infrastructure projects while minimizing friction.
Looking Ahead
Ares Core Infrastructure Fund operates as an emerging growth company and continues to make use of the regulatory flexibility that status provides. The proceeds from this raise add to its financial capacity and can be used to support ongoing and future investments across its infrastructure mandate.
For investors and stakeholders, the next key milestone will be the release of the final NAV per share tied to this transaction. That figure will help clarify the valuation context and provide insight into the fund’s asset base as of March month-end.
