Clearstream Partners with Ares to Boost Access to Private Markets

Subscribe to our newsletter

Clearstream, the post-trade business of Deutsche Börse Group, has partnered with alternative investment manager Ares Management Corporation to add Ares’ private market strategies to its fund platform. The collaboration aims to simplify the investment process for fund distributors, allowing them to access private market investments with the same operational efficiency as traditional mutual funds.

For Ares, the integration opens up a broad distribution network that connects the firm with diverse wealth management sectors, including family offices and private banks. This alignment supports Ares’ strategy to make private market assets a core component of diversified portfolios for a wider range of investors.

The initiative also aligns with wider regulatory goals within Europe. By unlocking private savings for broader investment opportunities, the partnership directly supports the European Union’s objective to establish a stronger Savings and Investment Union (SIU) and deepen continent-wide capital markets.
