Questions About Ares Senior Credit Master Fund III LP
Each answer is built from the values on the SEC filing and the AltStreet ledger, not from the issuer's marketing.
What is Ares Senior Credit Master Fund III LP?
Ares Senior Credit Master Fund III LP is a Cayman Islands limited partnership that filed a Form D with the SEC on February 9, 2024 as a other investment fund. The filing claims Rule 506(b), Section 3(c), Section 3(c)(7) for an offering of pooled investment fund interests.
Is Ares Senior Credit Master Fund III LP legit?

Ares Senior Credit Master Fund III LP filed a Form D with the SEC on February 9, 2024 claiming Rule 506(b), Section 3(c), Section 3(c)(7). A Form D is a notice of an exempt offering, not a review or approval of it. The newest notice reports $8,301,084,375 sold to 167 investors. AltStreet's enforcement record (SEC, FINRA and state actions) shows no action naming the issuer as of today. Before investing, confirm the filing on EDGAR, check the seller's registration on FINRA BrokerCheck, and read the offering documents, which a Form D does not include.
Is Ares Senior Credit Master Fund III LP registered with or approved by the SEC?
No. A Form D is a notice that an issuer is selling securities under an exemption from registration, and the SEC does not review, approve, or pass on the merits of the offering. The filing shows that Ares Senior Credit Master Fund III LP claimed Rule 506(b), Section 3(c), Section 3(c)(7) and disclosed the items the form requires, such as the amount sold, the minimum investment, related persons, and anyone paid to sell the securities.
