Ares Commercial Real Estate Management (ACREM) offers investment advisory services focused on real estate equity and debt investing. ACREM advises various pooled investment vehicles, including public and private investment funds, and other institutional clients. ACREM tailors its advice to the specific investment objectives of each client, primarily in real estate-related investments.
ACREM generally receives a management fee from its clients, calculated as a percentage of the client’s capital commitments, contributed capital, net asset value, cost basis of investments, or invested capital. The specific amount and calculation method are detailed in each client's governing documents and may vary among clients based on negotiated terms. Strategic partners may receive advisory fee discounts for committing capital above a certain threshold across multiple clients. Employees and certain business associates may not pay an advisory fee or performance-based compensation.
