Overview

AESIF is a private credit fund offering exposure to European private debt markets, with a focus on direct lending to mid-market companies. It primarily invests in self-originated loans, secured and unsecured bonds, and other alternative credit strategies. A smaller allocation is made to liquid credit instruments such as syndicated leveraged loans and high-yield bonds, providing additional liquidity to the portfolio. The fund is structured as an open-ended SICAV, offering monthly redemptions subject to lock-up restrictions and redemption limits. Ares Management Corporation is a global alternative investment manager operating in the credit, private equity and real estate markets. The company was founded in 1997 with additional offices across North America, Europe, and Asia. As of September 2021, Ares Management Corporation's global platform had approximately $295 billion of assets under management.
