| incentive_fee_schedule | In consideration of its investment management services, the Manager is entitled to receive a management fee (the “Management Fee”) payable by the Fund directly or indirectly through one or more Intermediate Entities, equal to, in the aggregate, (i) 1.40 % of Transactional NAV of the Class S Units, Class D Units, Class N Units and Class I Units and (ii) 1.25 % of Transactional NAV of the Class A-S Units, Class A-N Units, Class A-D Units and Class A-I Units, in each case, per annum payable monthly, before giving effect to any accruals for the Management Fee, the servicing fees and the Performance Participation Allocation, any distributions and without taking into account accrued and unpaid taxes of any Intermediate Entity (including corporations) through which the Fund indirectly invests (or any comparable entities of investment funds, vehicles, separate accounts and/or other similar arrangements managed, advised or operated by the General Partner, the Manager, Ares, their affiliates and/or respective partners, members, equity holders, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives and advisors (other than the Fund and its alternative vehicles) (collectively, “Other Ares Funds”)) in which the Fund may directly or indirectly participate) or taxes paid by any such entity during the applicable month. The Fund, the Feeder and any Parallel Fund are each obligated to pay (without duplication) its proportional share of the Management Fee paid based on its proportional interest in the Fund, or the Intermediate Entities, as applicable. The Fund does not pay the Management Fee with respect to Class E Units, and therefore the Management Fee is a class-specific expense. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2026, the Fund incurred a gross Management Fee of $ 2,114 and $ 3,774 , respectively, of which $ 0 and $ 1,660 , respectively, was waived by the Manager. The Manager agreed to waive the Management Fee through December 31, 2025. For the period from December 6, 2024 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2025, the Fund did not incur a Management Fee. Performance Participation Allocation The General Partner is allocated the performance participation allocation (“Performance Participation Allocation”) by the Fund directly or indirectly through one or more Intermediate Entities equal to (i) 15 % of total return of Class S Units, Class N Units, Class D Units and Class I Units and (ii) 12.5 % of total return of Class A-S Units, Class A-N Units, Class A-D Units and Class A-I Units, in each case, subject to a 5 % annual hurdle amount and a high water mark with 100 % catch-up. | Text disclosure | Pending |
