Ares US Real Estate Opportunity Fund III
Risk Factors
Important Investment Considerations and Risks of Investing.
An investment in the opportunistic strategy entails a significant degree of risk and, therefore, should be undertaken only by investors
capable of evaluating the risks of the strategy and bearing the risks it represents. Vehicle returns are unpredictable and, accordingly, the
opportunistic strategy investment program is not suitable as the sole investment vehicle for an investor. There can be no assurance that the
opportunistic strategy will meet its investment objectives or otherwise be able to successfully carry out its investment program. An investor
should only invest in the opportunistic strategy if such investor is able to withstand a total loss of its investment.
Uncertainty of Projected Returns.
Projected returns are by their nature inherently subject to risk and are dependent upon a number of factors, many of which are not within
the control of the vehicle. Some of the factors that will affect the results to be achieved include future operating results, the value of the
assets and market conditions at the time of disposition, any related transaction costs, the availability and cost of financing, timing and
manner of sale, all of which may reduce future operating proceeds and/or sales proceeds. While the manager believes that the bases for the
projections set forth herein are reasonable given the circumstances in which they were made, it is likely that actual events will differ from
the manager's assumptions such that actual results of a vehicle will similarly differ from those presented herein and such differences may be
material. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the projected results stated herein will be achieved, and actual results of a vehicle may
vary significantly from such projections.
Uncertainty of Fair Value.
Fair value returns presented herein are based on manager's estimate of fair values for unrealized investments. A valuation is only an
estimate of value and is not a precise measure of realizable value. Ultimate realization of the market value of an asset depends to a great
extent on economic and other conditions beyond the control of the manager. Further, valuations do not necessarily represent the price at
which a real estate investment would sell since definitive market prices of real estate investments can only be determined by negotiation
between a willing buyer and seller. As such, the fair value of an investment may not reflect the price at which the investment could be sold
in the market, and the difference between the fair value and the ultimate sales price could be material.
