Ares Management Corporation, a leading global alternative investment manager, has announced the launch of the Ares Core Infrastructure Fund (AUT), an Australian-domiciled unit trust. This new offering aims to provide wholesale and advised retail clients in Australia access to the Ares Core Infrastructure Fund $(ACI)$, a U.S.-regulated business development company focused on private infrastructure investments. The launch marks Ares' fourth wealth offering in Australia and New Zealand, following the success of its private wealth products, which have raised approximately A$2.0 billion since 2020. With a focus on digital and power infrastructure sectors, Ares seeks to capitalize on the growing demand for data and energy, providing investors with uncorrelated and inflation-hedged risk-adjusted returns. The expansion reflects the firm's commitment to offering institutional-grade solutions and supporting investors' long-term financial goals in the region.
