05:24 PM EDT, 08/18/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Ares Management ( ARES ) said late Monday it had launched the Ares Core Infrastructure Fund, an Australian domiciled unit trust designed to give wholesale and advised retail investors in Australia access to its US-based Ares Core Infrastructure Fund.

The launch broadens Ares' regional wealth platform, adding to three funds introduced since 2020 that together have raised around A$2 billion, the company said.

As of July 1, ACI oversees roughly A$1.8 billion and focuses on operating infrastructure assets aimed at delivering steady, tax-efficient income and attractive risk-adjusted returns.
