October 10, 2025
Ares Management Corporation announced today that it has raised approximately $5.3 billion of capital for its Infrastructure Secondaries strategy, inclusive of the final closing of its latest dedicated fund, Ares Secondaries Infrastructure Solutions III (ASIS III). The fund closed above its $2 billion target, achieving $3.3 billion in equity commitments—more than three times the size of the 2021 predecessor. The $5.3 billion raise places ASIS III among the largest infrastructure secondaries campaigns to date and expands Ares’s capital base to support investments in seasoned private infrastructure assets through flexible secondary solutions, including preferred structure transactions, GP‑led continuation vehicles and traditional LP interest acquisitions. ASIS III is part of the Ares Secondaries Group, which as of June 30 2025 has managed nearly $34 billion in assets across infrastructure, real estate, private equity and credit. The infrastructure secondaries strategy leverages the firm’s infrastructure platform, supported by more than 130 investment professionals managing over $21 billion in assets, and the Quantitative Research Group’s insights across private markets.
