The offering claims Rule 506(b), Section 3(c), Section 3(c)(7) and covers pooled investment fund interests.

The offering relies on Rule 506(b), which permits sales to accredited investors and to no more than 35 non-accredited investors who meet a sophistication standard, and prohibits general solicitation.

The filing reports no non-accredited investors. The minimum investment accepted from an outside investor is $2,500,000. The Form D names ARES MANAGEMENT CAPITAL MARKETS LLC (CRD 166219), associated with None as the recipient of sales compensation soliciting in all states. Sales commissions are reported as $0 and finders' fees as $0. Form D allows these to be estimates. The issuer's address of record is C/O Ares Management LLC, 1800 Avenue of the Stars, Suite 1400, Los Angeles, CA 90067.
