Ares Strategic Income Fund is a Delaware statutory trust organized as a non‑diversified closed‑end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (BDC). The Fund’s investment objective is to seek current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation by investing primarily in private credit and related debt investments across the capital structure; the Fund offers shares on a continuous basis and provides limited liquidity through periodic tender offer repurchase programs (typically quarterly), and is externally managed by Ares Management or an affiliate as Adviser.
