Ares Real Estate Income Trust Reports $11.4 Million in New Equity Sales
Between August 1 and September 2, 2025, Ares Real Estate Income Trust brought in $11.4 million through private share sales. The company issued two classes of stock—Class I-PR and Class S-PR—through transactions that didn’t require SEC registration under Regulation D. This approach allowed the firm to raise capital efficiently while staying compliant with private placement rules.
Here’s how the numbers break down:
- 910,418 Class I-PR shares generated $7.1 million in proceeds.
- 559,874 Class S-PR shares brought in $4.4 million, which includes $26,904 in selling commissions and dealer manager fees.
Some of this activity came from the company’s distribution reinvestment plan. Instead of taking cash, investors chose to reinvest their dividends—providing a reliable source of capital while reinforcing investor confidence. For Ares, this means continued access to capital without relying solely on new inflows.
Structuring the sale under Regulation D keeps the offering limited to qualified investors but gives the company flexibility in how it raises funds. That’s especially useful for real estate investment trusts, where a steady flow of capital can support ongoing acquisitions, refinancing, or other operational needs.
While no changes to business strategy were announced in connection with this capital raise, the timing aligns with what many REITs aim for—continued growth backed by predictable reinvestment and stable investor participation.
This latest equity issuance reinforces the company’s ongoing use of private placements as a funding tool, while maintaining investor alignment through reinvestment and transparent cost structures. For Ares, it’s a tactical step that keeps capital flowing and operations moving.
