Alternative Asset Manager
Global alternative investment group with over US$1 trillion in AUM across infrastructure, energy, private equity, real estate and credit
Brookfield is one of the world's largest alternative investment groups, investing for institutions and individuals across infrastructure, renewable power and transition, private equity, real estate and credit. It has two separately listed (NYSE/TSX) companies: Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. (BAM), the asset manager, headquartered in New York following its 2024–2025 restructuring, and Brookfield Corporation (BN), the parent investment company based at Brookfield Place in Toronto, which also owns the Wealth Solutions (insurance) business. In 2026 Connor Teskey became BAM CEO and BAM completed its buyout of credit manager Oaktree; Bruce Flatt remains CEO of Brookfield Corporation and chair of BAM. The group traces its origins to a São Paulo utility founded in 1899.

Reasons that work in interviews
4 reasons for Brookfield (Brookfield Asset Management / Brookfield Corporation)
The only Canadian firm that is a top-tier global alternative manager, and the operating heritage is real: these are assets the firm runs, not just owns.
Real assets, credit (through Oaktree), insurance and renewables under one roof means you can move strategy without moving firm.
Perpetual and long-duration capital changes the underwriting: you are not solving for a five-year exit.
Toronto headquarters with genuinely global deal flow is a combination no other Canadian platform offers.
