ABN AMRO and Ares Management announce collaboration on €1.3 bn loan portfolio

The portfolio in which Ares will participate consists of high-quality senior secured infrastructure loans originated across Europe by ABN AMRO. Through this partnership, ABN AMRO will optimise its capital allocation and balance sheet usage. ABN AMRO has a long history of developing and applying risk-sharing transactions, both for third-party clients, as well as for its own balance sheet.

“We are happy to partner with Ares,” said Ramses Kaijen, Head of Credit Portfolio Management at ABN AMRO. “This collaboration will not only strengthen our position in the infrastructure financing market but also enhance our ability to sustain growth and continue to best serve our clients.”

“We are excited to partner with ABN AMRO,” said Felix Zhang, Partner in the Ares Alternative Credit strategy. “We believe this transaction underscores our flexible balance sheet optimisation and extension solutions across asset classes and regions.”
