Overview

Overview

Ares Real Estate Income Trust (AREIT or the "Fund") is a diversified real estate solution that seeks to deliver consistent income and capture long-term value appreciation across a balanced portfolio of high quality real estate assets. The portfolio is anchored in the four major U.S. property types—industrial, residential, office and retail—and incorporates strategic allocations to adjacent sectors, geographies, and real estate debt to provide differentiated sources of income and long-term growth potential.

Our goal is to bring institutional-quality private real estate to the individual investor, enabling investors to participate in direct ownership of a portfolio of high-quality commercial real estate assets.

Distribution payments are not guaranteed. AREIT may pay distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, including the sale of assets, borrowings, return of capital or offering proceeds, and AREIT may be required to fund its monthly distributions from a combination of its operations and financing activities, which include net proceeds of this offering and borrowings (including borrowings secured by its assets), or to reduce the level of its monthly distributions. AREIT has not established a cap on the amount of the distributions that may be paid from any of these sources.

NAV is calculated in accordance with valuation procedures adopted by AREIT’s board and is not subject to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) . NAV will likely differ from the GAAP value of our equity reflected in our financial statements. As of December 31, 2022, our total equity under GAAP was approximately $1,193,867,000 and our GAAP total equity per share/unit was approximately $4.54. GAAP total equity per share/unit is presented on a “blended” share class/unit basis and is calculated as total equity divided by the aggregate number of outstanding shares issued by AREIT and units issued by AREIT Operating Partnership LP. Please click here for a reconciliation of our GAAP total equity to our NAV. Investors should review this information prior to making an investment decision.

The amount of distributions AREIT may make is uncertain, is not guaranteed, may be modified at the program’s discretion and is subject to board approval. AREIT may pay distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations including, without limitation, the sale of assets, borrowings or offering proceeds (including the return of principal amounts invested). The use of these sources for distributions would decrease the amount of cash AREIT has available for new investments, repayment of debt, share redemptions and other corporate purposes, and could reduce your overall return and dilute the value of your investment in shares of AREIT common stock.

3

AREIT is not obligated to redeem any shares and may choose to redeem only some, or even none, of the shares that have been requested to be redeemed in any particular month, in its discretion. The redemption program is subject to other limitations and AREIT’s board of directors may modify or suspend the plan. As a result, AREIT’s shares should be considered as having only limited liquidity and at times may be illiquid.

See the Share Class Overview section and the prospectus for details on applicable fees and expenses. In addition to performance-based compensation, AREIT also pays its advisor a fixed component of the advisory fee regardless of the performance of AREIT's portfolios.
