Ares Bolsters Financial Flexibility with Credit Line Expansion
On July 2, Ares Strategic Income Fund took steps to expand its borrowing capacity—raising its senior secured revolving credit facility from $3.085 billion to $3.225 billion. The facility, backed by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and other lenders, plays a key role in the fund’s ability to meet short-term funding needs and support portfolio activity.
The increase adds $140 million in available capital, without changing any of the existing terms. Ares didn’t renegotiate the structure, cost, or covenants. They simply raised the ceiling.
That kind of precision matters. For a fund that depends on flexibility to move quickly and take advantage of new investment opportunities, access to reliable credit is essential. By increasing this facility, Ares ensures it can stay responsive to both market dynamics and portfolio demands—without having to adjust terms or seek entirely new sources of funding.
This move also points to steady lender support. Expanding a credit line without touching the framework signals alignment between Ares and its financing partners. It’s a sign that the current structure is working—and that the fund sees value in maintaining consistency as it grows.
With this adjustment in place, Ares positions itself to stay active and agile in today’s shifting environment. The structure remains the same. The capital cushion just got bigger.
