• Performance for U.S. Banks Loans is represented by the U.S. Bank Loan Aggregate Composite ("U.S. Bank Loan Composite") which includes all actual, fully discretionary, fee‐paying, portfoliosthat are benchmarked to the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index and primarily invested in U.S. Dollar denominated banks loans. Portfolios may have limited allocations to high yield andstructured securities. Portfolios in the U.S. Bank Loan Composite have an emphasis on capital appreciation and income. For periods prior to January 1, 2010 the U.S. Bank Loan Compositeincluded the bank loan segments of multi‐asset class portfolios. The inception date of the U.S. Bank Loan Aggregate Composite is November 1997. From January 1, 2000 through January 1,2010, cash was allocated on a monthly basis to the bank loan segments based on relative assets. For periods prior to January 1, 2000 cash was not allocated to the bank loan segments. As ofJanuary 1, 2010 the U.S. Bank Loan Composite no longer includes bank loan segments of multi‐asset class portfolios. The benchmark for the U.S. Bank Loan Composite is the Credit SuisseLeveraged Loan Index. The index is designed to mirror the investable universe of the U.S. Dollar‐denominated leveraged loan market.

• Performance for U.S. High Yield is represented by the U.S. High Yield Composite (“U.S. High Yield Composite”), which includes all actual, fully discretionary, fee‐paying, separately managedportfolios that primarily invest in U.S. high yield fixed income securities and are benchmarked to the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Master II Constrained Index. Portfolios in the U.S. HighYield Composite have an emphasis on capital appreciation and income. The benchmark for the U.S. High Yield Composite is the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Master II Constrained Index,which tracks the performance of U.S. Dollar‐denominated below investment grade corporate debt publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market with a maximum issuer exposure of 2%. Theinception date of the U.S. High Yield Composite is May 2007.

Portfolios in the Credit Opps Composite may utilize derivatives, such ascredit default swaps, for hedging, return enhancement, and limited leverage. The index shown for comparison purposes is the HFRI Fund Weighted Composite Index. The index is an equallyweighted composite of over 2,200 hedge funds that is designed to reflect hedge fund industry performance. To be included in the index, a fund must have at least $50 million undermanagement or have been actively traded for at least twelve months. The inception date of the Credit Opportunities Aggregate Composite is December 2008.

• Performance for Special Situations is represented the Special Situations Composite (“Special Situations Composite”), which includes all closed‐end, fully discretionary, fee‐paying portfoliosthat invest in distressed debt, post‐reorganization equities, and other special situations instruments. Portfolios in the Special Situations Composite may invest in currency forwards to hedgecurrency risk and credit default swaps or options contracts to hedge industry or issuer risk. The index shown for comparison purposes is the Credit Suisse Event Driven Distressed Hedge FundIndex, which is a subset of the Credit Suisse Hedge Fund Index that measures the aggregate performance of event driven funds that focus on distressed situations. The inception date of theSpecial Situations Composite is June 2007.

• Benchmark returns are provided to represent the investment environment existing during the time period shown. The returns for the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Master II ConstrainedIndex and the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index include the reinvestment of income and other earnings, but do not include transaction costs, management fees or other costs. Returns forthe HFRI Fund Weighted Composite Index and the Credit Suisse Event Driven Distressed Hedge Fund Index are calculated using a time‐weighted rate of return and are net of all fees.

• Gross performance for the U.S. Bank Loan, U.S. High Yield, and Credit Opps Composites does not reflect the deduction of investment advisory fees or any other expenses that may be incurredin the management of the account. Net returns for the U.S. Bank Loan and U.S. High Yield Composites are net of model investment advisory fees and are derived by subtracting 1/12th of thehighest applicable fee on a monthly basis from the gross returns. The representative management fees for the U.S. Bank Loan and U.S. High Yield Composites are 0.50% per annum. Net returnsfor the Credit Opps Composite are net of actual management fees, incentive allocations, and other expenses allocated to investors. Incentive allocations are accrued monthly. The fee schedulecurrently in effect is as follows: 1.25% asset‐based fee per annum and a 15% performance‐based fee.

• Gross performance for the Special Situations Composite is an annualized gross internal rate of return (“IRR”) that is calculated using the combined capital draw dates from the fee‐payinglimited partners in each fund in the Special Situations Composite and a combined fund valuation as of the period end date. The inception date of the IRRs is June 29, 2007, which is the date ofthe first capital call. IRRs include the reinvestment of income and other earnings and reflect the deduction of all trading expenses. IRRs are presented as annualized returns. The gross IRR doesnot reflect the deduction of management fees, carried interest and operating and administrative expenses. The net IRR reflects the deduction of management fees, carried interest as if thecomposite was liquidated, and operating and administrative expenses. Actual expenses allocated to fee‐paying limited partners are used in the net IRR calculation.

• Actual fees of the portfolios in each composite may vary depending on, among other things, the applicable fee schedule and portfolio size. Composites may contain accounts with performancebased fees. Investment management fees are described in Part 2 of the adviser’s Form ADV. All returns are expressed in U.S. Dollars.

As of September 30, 2015, (i) Gross IRRs for the Early Funds, USPF, the USPF IIFunds, USPF III and USPF IV are 18.2%, 29.4%, 7.8%, 8.7% and 17.5%, respectively, and (ii) Net IRRs for the Early Funds, USPF, the USPF II Funds, USPF III and USPF IV are 15.4%, 25.0%, 4.8%, 5.9%and 15.7%, respectively. Gross and Net IRRs for the Early Funds are presented on a pro forma basis and exclude twenty investments (representing 22.7% of the total equity invested by the EarlyFunds) of a type that Ares EIF no longer focuses on, and has not focused on since 2002 (i.e., investments in companies whose principal assets or operations were outside of the U.S. and Canada,as well as a waste water treatment facility). If such investments were included, the Gross and Net IRR for the Early Funds would be 16.6% and 10.5%, respectively. IRRs for the USPF II Funds,USPF III, and USPF IV should not be considered representative of final returns that may be achieved for such funds, which may be substantially lower.

investment vehicles: (a) European investments only in Apollo Real Estate Investment Fund I, L.P. (“AREIF,” vintage 1993), Apollo Real Estate Investment Fund II, L.P. (“AREIF II,” vintage 1996),Apollo Real Estate Investment Fund III, L.P. (“AREIF III,” vintage 1997) and Apollo Real Estate Investment Fund, IV, L.P. (“AREIF IV,” vintage 1999); and (b) all European Opportunistic investmentsin Ares European Real Estate Fund I, L.P. (presently and formerly, “EU I”), f/k/a Apollo International Real Estate Fund, L.P.
