This gives Enilive, Eni\u2019s biorefining and mobility unit, a total valuation of around \u20ac11.8 billion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Representatives for KKR and Ares declined to comment.<\/p>\n<p>The move by Ares follows increasing interest by private capital in infrastructure debt. In a paper published at the beginning of the year, Ares said that this asset class could reach $1.5 trillion in size, as constrained public investment and bank retrenchment has created a supply and demand imbalance for funding.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For energy company Eni, the sale of a stake in Enilive is a step in a development strategy to attract financial partners for its subsidiary businesses. The strong interest shown by institutional investors in the Enilive sale process could lead to the disposal of a further stake, with Eni\u2019s chief financial officer Francesco Gattei saying Friday that could be in the \u201clower end of the range of 5% to 10%.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2014With assistance from Alberto Brambilla.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<p>Article content<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p> Bloomberg News <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/financialpost.com\/pmn\/business-pmn\/ares-banks-to-fund-kkrs-buyout-of-minority-stake-in-eni-unit\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ares Management Corp. and a group of banks is funding KKR &amp; Co.\u2019s buyout of a minority stake in Italy\u2019s Enilive.
