Capital Raised Through Private Offering

On October 1, Ares Real Estate Income Trust brought in over $11.3 million through the private sale of equity shares. The capital raise included two share classes—Class I-PR and Class S-PR—issued under Regulation D, which allows companies to offer securities without registering them with the SEC.

Here’s how the breakdown looks:

• 815,816 Class I-PR shares issued, generating $6.4 million in proceeds


• 631,367 Class S-PR shares issued, generating $5 million in proceeds

The Class S-PR share proceeds include approximately $39,000 in upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees. Both share classes reflect activity from the company’s distribution reinvestment plan—an option that lets shareholders automatically reinvest dividends into additional shares.

These types of transactions help Ares keep its capital base growing while maintaining flexibility. By tapping into both reinvestments and new allocations, the company can continue to support its real estate strategy without relying solely on public market fundraising.

Building Financial Flexibility

The report, signed by Ares' CFO Taylor Paul on October 7, doesn’t detail how the funds will be used—but it aligns with the company’s ongoing approach to real estate income investing. As part of the broader Ares Management platform, the trust continues to use private capital to support a portfolio focused on income-producing properties.

For investors who participate through reinvestment or new commitments, these updates reflect how Ares continues to raise capital and manage inflows with discipline. The activity reported in this filing adds to the company’s financial position going into the final quarter of the year.
